&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;One of the Panhandle’s most prominent athletic personalities, Dale Hendrickson of Kimball, will be inducted into the Nebraska Baseball Hall of Fame in Beatrice on Sunday, Feb. 9.&nbsp; He will be one of seven inductees, but one of only five among the hall’s 250 members with ties to the Panhandle.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hendrickson, now 83, was a standout baseball and basketball player, coached both of those sports after graduating from Chadron State College in 1960 and spent more than 35 years as a high school teacher, coach and activities director.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A hard-throwing left-hander, Hendrickson pitched Gering’s American Legion team to a state championship in 1953.&nbsp; The next summer, he pitched for the Chadron Elks town team and also signed a contract with the Milwaukee Braves at their tryout camp at Rushville.&nbsp; Although the camps continued 10 more years, he was the only participant ever offered a contract.

In the summer of 1955 while pitching for the Braves’ farm team in Lawton, Okla., Hendrickson became a rising star. He compiled a 24-8 record, including three playoff victories, and hurled 39 consecutive scoreless innings and 75 innings without permitting an earned run.

&nbsp; He also had an impressive 11-2 record the next year at Evansville, Ill., one of the Braves’ top minor league teams; then really drew widespread attention during spring training in 1957 while pitching against the Yankees in an exhibition game and struck out Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra and Bill Skowran in the same inning and fanned Tony Kubek and Gil McDougald later in the game.

While Hendrickson never reached the majors, he played pro baseball seven years.&nbsp; In addition, he developed into an outstanding basketball player at Chadron State, scoring 860 points and is a member of the Eagles’ Athletic Hall of Fame.&nbsp;

After earning his degree from CSC, Hendrickson spent nine years teaching and coaching at Morrill and 27 years, including 24 as activities director, at Kimball before retiring in 1996. Several summers he also coached American Legion baseball.&nbsp; One of his teams at Morrill won a state championship and another Morrill team and two at Kimball qualified for the state tournament.

&nbsp;The baseball field in Kimball is named in his honor. He also was named that community’s Citizen of the Year and presented Outstanding Service to Youth and Outstanding Community Educator awards.&nbsp;

In addition, he was tabbed the Nebraska Athletic Director of the Year in 1995 and served as the organization’s president.

His wife, the former Gayle Babue, was a 1955 graduate of Chadron High.&nbsp; She died June 24, 2018.

About 20 of Hendrickson’s family members and friends have made reservations to attend the induction program.&nbsp;

The only others with Panhandle ties in the state’s Baseball Hall of Fame are Gene Leahy of Rushville, Leo Newell of Gering and Gary Neibauer of Scottsbluff. Johnny Hopp who played in nearly 1,400 games for six major league teams over a 14-year span ending in 1952, will be inducted posthumously on Sunday. He was a native Hastings, but was living in Scottsbluff when he died in 2003.

A spokesman said the Hall of Fame would like to receive nominations for potential inductees from the Panhandle. The material may be sent to Larry Bornschlagl, 1319 West Cademon Circle, Lincoln, NE 68523.

CHADRON, Neb. -- A slow start helped the South Dakota Mines Hardrockers defeat Chadron State women's basketball team Saturday night in the Chicoine Center, 77-59.

The loss drops CSC to 5-19 overall and 3-12 in conference play. South Dakota Mines, who won their fifth straight game, improves to 10-9 and 8-7 in the RMAC.

After starting the first period one of 10 from the field, CSC fell behind 21-11, while shooting 21.43 percent in the quarter.

The Eagles cold shooting continued in the second, finishing 26.7 percent from the field in the period and 24 percent in the half. South Dakota Mines led 42-22 at half, after shooting 42.9 percent in the first half.

"We weren't executing in the first half and were forcing it too much in the first half," Head Coach Janet Raymer said.

CSC shot 44 percent in the second half and outscored the Hardrockers 37-35, but were unable to overcome the first half deficit.

For the game, CSC finished 22-63 (34.9 percent) from the field. They converted two of 14 shots from three and were 13-16 from the charity stripe.

Their opponent finished 28-70 (40 percent) from the field and seven of 27 from three. The Hardrockers made 14 of 18 free throws.

Chadron State had 20 turnovers in the loss, which South Dakota Mines converted into 21 points. The Eagles scored five points off 12 South Dakota Mines turnovers.

"Points off of turnovers was one of the biggest differences of the game," Raymer said. "They had a high hedge on us and we struggled holding on to the ball for a whole half, which took us out of our scoring."

Taryn Foxen once again led the Eagles in scoring with 17 points. Bailey Brooks and Jessica Lovitt joined her in double-digits, with 11 and 10 points, respectively.

Jordan Morris had a team high 10 rebounds. Foxen was one board shy of a double-double with nine.

Four different players scored double-figures for the Hardrockers. Anna Haugen and Sydney Leeper each had 12, while Molly McCabe and Ryan Weiss both had 10. Haugen added 13 rebounds to her stat line to finish with a double-double.

Chadron State stays home next weekend as they host Colorado School of Mines and UCCS. Both teams earned victories against New Mexico Highlands and CSU-Pueblo this weekend.

CHADRON, Neb. -- January 31, 2020 -- Trey Whitley poured in 37 points, Tyler Oliver tallied 22 and Joel Scott added 18 as the Black Hills State basketball team won its 12th straight game while defeating Chadron State 97-74 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference action in Chadron on Friday night.

The Yellow Jackets, now 15-5 overall and 12-2 while continuing to share the top spot in the conference with Dixie State, sank 36 of 62 field goal shots (58%). That included 10 of 20 on 3-point attempts, but driving past defenders to the basket also paid big dividends.  Fifty of their points were scored from in the paint.

Overall, Chadron State also shot well, making exactly half of their 54 shots from the field, including 12 of 28 from behind the arc. But after the score was knotted at 25-25 with 9:10 to play in the opening half, the Eagles hit the skids offensively and added just three more points before halftime, allowing the visitors to build a 46-28 intermission lead.

"Black Hills is a team that makes things difficult for you defensively," Chadron State Coach Houston Reed said. "They're the most well-rounded team we've seen because they've got so many different weapons they can throw at you."

A 6-foot-1 junior, Whitely led the Yellow Jackets onslaught, making 14 of 19 field goal shots, including four of six from long range, and most of the remaining 10 after driving to the bucket for layups. He also was five of six at the free throw line and came up with six steals.  His previous high after transferring to Black Hills this year was 22 points during the 87-83 win at New Mexico Highlands last Friday night.

Reed said CSC tried to guard Whitely "straight up" but it didn't work out.

Oliver, a 6-3 senior, was eight of 13 from the field, including three of five on threes, and five of six at the line to go with a game-high seven rebounds. 

Scott, a 6-7 freshman and the Jackets' top scorer with a 17.3-point average entering the game, was six of eight from the field, made his only trey, and also was five of six on charity shots.

Black Hills finished 15 of 20 at the line.  Chadron State was eight of 12.

The Eagles made nine of their first 15 shots from the field while staying even with Black Hills the first 11 minutes, but were just one of 11 the remainder of the first half.  They found their shooting touch again in the second half when they were 17 of 27 for 63 percent, but never got closer than 13 points.

Senior Brian Rodriguez, the leading scorer for the season at 17.2 points a game, led the way for CSC again with 18, but the Eagles' highlight was provided by 6-6 sophomore Kayden Sund. He was six of eight from the field, including four of five from behind the arc, for 16 points.  Previously Sund had scored just five points while seeing action in 17 of the team's 19 games and had not connected on any of his 11 3-point attempts.

Jacob Jefferson added 11 points for the hosts.

The Eagles will be home again Saturday night to meet South Dakota Mines, which defeated Metro State 80-51 in Denver on Friday night.

 </figure>By: Con Marshall, CSC Sports InformationCHADRON, Neb. -- January 31, 2020 -- Trey Whitley poured in 37 points, Tyler Oliver tallied 22 and Joel Scott added 18 as the Black Hills State basketball team won its 12th straight game while defeating Chadron State 97-74 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference action in Chadron on Friday night.The Yellow Jackets, now 15-5 overall and 12-2 while continuing to share the top spot in the conference with Dixie State, sank 36 of 62 field goal shots (58%). That included 10 of 20 on 3-point attempts, but driving past defenders to the basket also paid big dividends. Fifty of their points were scored from in the paint.Overall, Chadron State also shot well, making exactly half of their 54 shots from the field, including 12 of 28 from behind the arc. But after the score was knotted at 25-25 with 9:10 to play in the opening half, the Eagles hit the skids offensively and added just three more points before halftime, allowing the visitors to build a 46-28 intermission lead."Black Hills is a team that makes things difficult for you defensively," Chadron State Coach Houston Reed said. "They're the most well-rounded team we've seen because they've got so many different weapons they can throw at you."A 6-foot-1 junior, Whitely led the Yellow Jackets onslaught, making 14 of 19 field goal shots, including four of six from long range, and most of the remaining 10 after driving to the bucket for layups. He also was five of six at the free throw line and came up with six steals. His previous high after transferring to Black Hills this year was 22 points during the 87-83 win at New Mexico Highlands last Friday night.Reed said CSC tried to guard Whitely "straight up" but it didn't work out.Oliver, a 6-3 senior, was eight of 13 from the field, including three of five on threes, and five of six at the line to go with a game-high seven rebounds. Scott, a 6-7 freshman and the Jackets' top scorer with a 17.3-point average entering the game, was six of eight from the field, made his only trey, and also was five of six on charity shots.Black Hills finished 15 of 20 at the line. Chadron State was eight of 12.The Eagles made nine of their first 15 shots from the field while staying even with Black Hills the first 11 minutes, but were just one of 11 the remainder of the first half. They found their shooting touch again in the second half when they were 17 of 27 for 63 percent, but never got closer than 13 points.Senior Brian Rodriguez, the leading scorer for the season at 17.2 points a game, led the way for CSC again with 18, but the Eagles' highlight was provided by 6-6 sophomore Kayden Sund.

CHADRON, Neb. -- January 30, 2020 -- After playing a bulk of their games on the road so far this season, the Chadron State College basketball teams will be playing lots more games in their Chicoine Center, one of the classiest courts in NCAA Division II, beginning this weekend.

Their neighbors from the north will be the first to invade.  Black Hills State will be the opponents Friday night and South Dakota School of Mines on Saturday night.  Both Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference double-headers will tip off at 5:30 with the women's games.

All four games can be heard on Double Q Country, 97.5 FM, 105.9 FM and <a href="https://panhandlepost.com/csc-sports">streamed live</a>.

The Chadron State men have played 19 games, only five of them at home.  The women have played 22 contests, seven of them in Chadron.  During the remainder of the season, both quintets will have seven of their nine games in Chicoine.

Hopefully, the home games will net more victories.  The CSC women are 5-17 for the season and the men are 3-16. However, an array of outstanding players and teams will be making the visits and nothing is expected to come easy for the Eagles, even when the games are at home.

As traveling partners, Black Hills State and Mines played one other in their first RMAC clashes of the season on Nov. 26. The homestanding Yellow Jackets won both contests.   

The four South Dakota teams then visited Utah the first weekend of December to take on Dixie State and Westminster.  The Mines women edged Dixie State 70-68 in overtime, but the home teams won the remaining three.

Since then the Black Hills State men have won all 11 of their games, including five by four or fewer points. They are 14-5 overall and 11-2 in the RMAC to share the top spot with Dixie State.

The Yellow Jackets' leading scorer is 6-foot-7 freshman Joel Scott, who is averaging 17.3 points while shooting 62.4 percent from the field that includes going 22 of 43 from 3-point range.  Somehow, Coach Ryan Thompson sneaked him out of Colorado Springs even though he was the Class 4A Player of the Year after leading Lewis-Palmer High to the state championship a year ago.  

Scott tallied 35 points last Saturday night when the Yellow Jackets thumped CSU-Pueblo 94-76 in Pueblo.  

Black Hills has plenty of other punch. Junior guard Trey Whitley is averaging 13.7 points, senior Tyler Oliver is at 13.5 a game to go with 33 steals and 77 assists, while 6-6 Stefan Desnica averages 12.2 points.

The Black Hills women are 11-7 for the season and 8-5 in the RMAC to share sixth place. Their leader is 5-9 junior Racquel Wientjes, who is averaging 17.3 points and 5.3 rebounds, has scored as many as 35 points in a game this winter and tallied 28 Saturday night during a 69-63 setback at Pueblo. 

Morgan Ham, a 6-1 forward, is the Lady Jackets' only other regular double-figure scorer with a 14.2 average.

The South Dakota Mines women are 8-9 for the season and 6-7 in the conference, putting them ninth in the standings. Their top gun is 5-9 sophomore Ryan Weiss, who is shooting 47.5 percent from the field, including 48 percent (61-127) from 3-point land. She's also made 43 of 49 free throws and was the RMAC's Offensive Player of the Week after she scored 57 points during blowout wins over Pueblo and Highlands last weekend.

Another Lady Rockers' stalwart is 5-11 senior Anna Haugen, who is averaging 10.4 points and 9.4 rebounds.  The latter ranks second in the conference.

The Mines men are in about the same position as the women in the playoff picture.  After losing at both Pueblo and Highlands last weekend, they are 9-10 overall and 6-7 in the RMAC.  The previous weekend they toppled Colorado Mines 84-69 and Colorado Springs 71-49 at home.

Coached by CSC graduate Eric Glenn, the Hardrockers feature 5-11 senior guard Allec Williams, who is averaging 14.1 points and was named the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week after tallying 48 points in the wins two weeks ago over Colorado Mines and Colorado Springs.

The Hardrockers have good height, including 6-9 sophomore Mitch Sueker, who scored 32 points in the first game versus the Eagles last year. He's averaging 13.2 points this season.  Senior Logan Elers, who is 6-7, is chipping in 10.4 points and 5.5 rebounds a game.

While the Chadron State teams have struggled, they've also had numerous bright spots.

The men' team is second in the RMAC in 3-pointers made with 171 and is third in free throw shooting at 76.2 percent.  Forward Brian Rodriguez is fifth in the conference in scoring at 17.2 points a game, third in 3-point shooting at 43.3 percent and second in offensive rebounding.  In addition, point guard Colby Jackson is second in assists per game with 5.5 and fourth in assist/turnovers ratio.

On the women's side, junior Taryn Foxen has averaged 20 points in the last nine games and sophomore Jori Peters is fifth with 4.1 assists per game and has made 33 of 38 free throws.

CHADRON, Neb. – January 30, 2020 –&nbsp;Chadron State College Head Football Coach&nbsp;Jay Long&nbsp;announced on Thursday the addition of former Eagles wide receiver&nbsp;Micah Smith&nbsp;to the football coaching staff as the offensive coordinator, beginning immediately.

"I'm very excited to announce the hire of Micah as our next offensive coordinator," said Long. He was born an Eagle, and after his interview, I knew that he was qualified and ready to come back home. We can't wait to get Micah, Jadrianne, and Joslyn here."

Since hanging up his cleats at Chadron State in 2007, Smith has strung together 11 consecutive years of coaching at NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA, Nebraska State College System, and Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference institutions.

Smith last coached at NAIA Mayville State University in fall of 2019. As the MSU offensive coordinator, Smith tutored the North Star Athletic Association's leader for total offense per game. He also increased the team's scoring output by nearly 25 percent in his only season there.

Recently, Smith received the title of interim head coach at Mayville for the past several weeks, after the departure of the head coach, who was former CSC defensive coordinator Jeff Larson.

Prior to Mayville, Smith spent five seasons at Division I FCS Eastern Illinois University, first as tight ends coach but later as co-special teams coordinator and wide receivers coach. The Panthers were 24-16 in the Ohio Valley Conference during those years, earning an FCS playoff berth in 2015. In addition, Smith mentored four all-conference and one All-America selection during that term.

Stints as position coach at Division III Wabash College and CSC's conference rival Fort Lewis preceded the Eastern Illinois job. At FLC, Smith coached one season under coaching legend John L. Smith.

Smith's first college coaching job was at Wayne State College in Nebraska. There, as a graduate assistant with wide receivers responsibilities, he oversaw the rise to All-America status of both Frederick Bruno, as well as former CSC offensive coordinator&nbsp;Logan Masters, in 2009.

Following his graduation from CSC, he coached the 2008 season at Chadron High, where he helped lead the Cardinals to the the state semifinals. There he worked with none other than senior quarterback&nbsp;Jonn McLain, who was named All-State First Team Captain following the season. McLain went on to an illustrious career with CSC, beginning the following year.

"I'd like to thank CSC President&nbsp;Dr. Randy Rhine, Athletic Director Joel Smith, and Coach Long for allowing me this opportunity," said Smith. "Words can't describe how excited I am to come home. This college, community, and football program have been so good to me. This is my opportunity to try to repay the debt that I owe. Raising my family in a place that is nothing but supportive is a chance that I couldn't pass up."

"There were four characteristics that we were looking for in our next coordinator," added Long. Those were commitment to Eagles football, a similar offensive philosophy to our current one, an understanding about recruiting top student-athletes to Chadron, and an appreciation for what it takes to be successful here. Micah has gained valuable experience at all levels of NCAA football, coaching just about every offensive position, and serving as interim head coach. He'll add a tremendous amount of coaching knowledge to our program."

Smith is the youngest of three children of longtime CSC head football coach Brad Smith, a CSC Hall of Famer, Class of 2010, and the winningest coach in Chadron State history. Brad was named to the RMAC All-Centennial Team as head coach in 2009, the RMAC Hall of Fame in 2011, and the Nebraska Football Coaches Hall of Fame, just last year.

Micah Smith&nbsp;received his master's degree from Wayne State and his bachelor's from Chadron State, where he earned a place as the punt returner on the school's All-Century team, helping the Eagles to two conference titles and two playoff berths. &nbsp;He and his wife, Jadrianne have one daughter, Joslyn.

The Denver Broncos have hired another veteran assistant in quarterbacks coach Mike Shula. The 20-year NFL coaching veteran was the New York Giants' quarterbacks coach the past two years under former Giants head coach Pat Shurmur. The Broncos hired Shurmur as their new offensive coordinator this month following his ouster as the Giants' head coach. Shula and Shurmur bring more than four decades of NFL coaching experience to Denver to work with second-year quarterback Drew Lock. Scangarello and ex-quarterbacks coach T.C. McCartney were both novices last year when they were hired to modernize Denver's offense.

Los Angeles County coroner's officials have identified the bodies of Kobe Bryant and three other people killed when their helicopter smashed into a foggy hillside near Los Angeles. The coroner's office says fingerprints were used to confirm the identities of Bryant and three others. Six other victims - including Bryant's 13-year-old daughter - haven't been officially confirmed but friends, family and acquaintances have ID'd them. The last of the bodies and the wreckage were removed on Tuesday. Federal investigators will pore over the wreckage in an effort to determine why the helicopter plunged about 1,000 feet in about a minute on Sunday.&nbsp;

Questions remain as to why pilot took risk flying in heavy fog

The pilot in the foggy-weather helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant was well-acquainted with the skies over Los Angeles and accustomed to flying celebrities. Customers and colleagues praised his calm and skills. But aviation experts are wondering why he persisted in flying in fog so heavy it grounded police choppers. Some pilots questioned whether the pressure to get a celebrity where he was going clouded his judgment and sent him into a dangerous situation. Federal authorities are investigating the cause of the crash that killed nine people.

Eli Brooks scored 20 points, Franz Wagner added 18 and and short-handed Michigan pulled away in the middle of the second half for a 79-68 win over Nebraska.

Reigning national champion LSU is bringing back Bo Pelini as defensive coordinator. It's a position Pelini held when the Tigers won a national championship in the 2007 season.&nbsp; In 2008 he became head coach at Nebraska until 2014.

Pelini's hiring was announced by coach Ed Orgeron on Monday, when Youngstown State announced that Pelini would be leaving as its head coach. 

Pelini fills the vacancy that opened when Dave Aranda left the Tigers to take over as Baylor's head coach after LSU's national championship victory over Clemson. LSU's defense ranked third nationally the three years it was overseen by Pelini from 2005 to 2007.

GOLDEN, Colo. -- January 25, 2020 -- Colorado Mines sank all 10 of its final field goal shots, half of them 3-pointers, and made all seven of its final free throws Saturday night while coming from behind to defeat Chadron State 95-87 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference game in Golden.

Chadron State led the entire first half, including 46-33 at halftime and had its biggest lead at 62-46 with 13 minutes remaining.  But the Orediggers would not be denied.

Mines tied the score at 73-73 with 4:44 to play and outscored the Eagles 22-14 the rest of the way.

Junior Kobi Betts and sophomore Brendan Sullivan fired the Orediggers' stretch run by tallying 14 and 13 points, respectively, in the final 6:43 when every shot the hosts took started dropping through the nets.

Both Betts and Sullivan finished with 28 points. Sophomore Ben Boone added 23 points and junior Michael Glenn contributed 14.  Freshman Paul O'Leary scored the remaining two points for Mines, now 13-7 overall and 9-4 in the conference, good for third place.

Betts was 11 of 15 from the field, including four of seven from behind the arc; Sullivan made 10 of his 19 field goal shots, including three of six treys; and Boone was eight of 11 overall while making five of eight from long range. 

Both teams shot 50.7 percent from the field.  Mines was 35 of 69, including 14 of 32 on threes.  Chadron State was 34 of 67, while sinking 10 of 19 from afar.  

The Orediggers were 11 of 12 at the free throw line, where the Eagles were nine of nine.  CSC grabbed a narrow 35-33 rebounding edge and had only nine turnovers, but Mines had just four.

Center Jacob Jefferson led the Eagles in scoring with 24 points, making 10 of 14 shots, including his only three, and all three charity shots. Point guard Colby Jackson added 14 points and handed out eight assists. Brian Rodriguez scored 13 points and was the game's leading rebounder with nine.  Brady Delimont contributed 11 points.  Both Jackson and Delimont were four of six overall from the field, including three of four from behind the arc.

Chadron State Coach Houston Reed was naturally disappointed with the outcome, but commended Mines for making so many "big-time shots" as the clock was winding down.   

"We weren't as aggressive down the stretch as we needed to be, but we showed again that we can and do play good basketball." Reed said.

The Eagles are now 3-16 overall and 2-12 in the conference.  They have played just five of their 19 games at home, but seven of their final nine will be in the Chicoine Center.  The home games begin this weekend, when Black Hills State and South Dakota Mines will visit.

Mines makes final ten shots to sink CSC's large lead & upset bid, 95-87



GOLDEN, Colo. -- January 25, 2020 --&nbsp;The Colorado School of Mines women's basketball team improved to 12-6 overall, and 9-4 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference on Saturday evening, on the strength of a 49-27 rebound advantage, outscoring Chadron State College 93-48 in Golden.&nbsp;

CSC fell to 5-17 (3-10 RMAC) in the process, despite a second consecutive high scoring night by junior&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3970">Taryn Foxen</a>. The guard from Aurora, Colorado, was just 6 of 20 from the field but sank 8 of 11 free throws to get to 22 points.

Mines never trailed in the game, and it led by double digits for all but the first five minutes. The Orediggers' early points relied on their 6-of-7 start from beyond the three-point arc, but they continued to find buckets from long range throughout the game, finishing with a percentage of more than 58 percent.

The differential on the boards was much less pronounced in the final three quarters than in the first, but the Eagles were never able to match the fast start by the Orediggers and turn the tables.

CSM was led in scoring by Liz Holter, who dropped 11 of her 13 shots from the floor into the net, including three of four from three-point range, to finish with 26 points. Three other Orediggers - Denali Pinto, Ashley Steffeck, and Courtney Stanton - all finished in double figures.

For CSC, only Foxen eclipsed the five-point mark, however sophomore point guard&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3975">Jori Peters</a>&nbsp;stood out for her team with four assists. Another guard, sophomore&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=3969">Bailey Brooks</a>, led the Eagles with five rebounds.

Chadron State is back at home for seven of its final nine games, with the two away contests scheduled for just a few minutes from campus, in South Dakota.
