CHADRON, Neb. -- November, 19, 2022 --&nbsp;The Sioux Falls Cougars scored on a tip-in inbounds play with barely more than a second remaining to edge the Chadron State Eagles 69-68 in a non-conference men's basketball game Saturday afternoon in the Chicoine Center. The outcome was a heart-breaker for the Eagles, who played their hearts out trying to topple Sioux Falls, which beat them 96-78 on the Cougars' home court last year. Chadron State may not have defended the winning shot well, but it was executed to perfection by the South Dakota team. The Eagles had taken a 68-67 lead when center Porter Anderson grabbed a rebound and made the put-back with eight seconds remaining. After a timeout, Sioux Falls missed an off-balance shot. The referees ruled that the ball was knocked out of bounds by the Eagles with 1.7 seconds remaining.&nbsp;&nbsp;After the refs spent several minutes looking at the video to make sure their call was right, the play unfolded. Jake Kettner inbounded the ball by lobbing it over about a half dozen players in the paint to 6-foot-6 sophomore Noah Puetz. He was about eight feet away from the basket when he jumped, caught the ball and shot all in one motion.&nbsp;&nbsp;Puetz was just one of eight from the field when he sank the winning shot. The officials reviewed the video again after the shot. They determined 1.1 seconds were still on the clock, but it was not enough time for the Eagles to get off a viable shot While Kettner was one-of-10 shooting, his pass to Puetz gave him six assists.

Two players—one on each side—had outstanding games.

Matt Cartwright, a 6-6 grad student, led Sioux Falls with 27 points on nine-of-18 shooting from the field, including six-of-nine on 3-pointers. He also made three-of-five free throws and grabbed eight rebounds. The 6-7 Anderson paced the Eagles with 24 points while making eight of 10 field goal shots, nearly all of them power layups, and eight-of-11 free throws to go with six rebounds.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anderson had a reason for wanting to play well. A year ago during the game in Sioux Falls, he was inadvertently hit, sustaining a broken nose and a concussion that forced him to miss the Eagles' next six games and wear a mask a few more times.&nbsp; The Eagles got off to a slow start Saturday and trailed 23-9 midway in the first half. However, they got untracked and tallied 14 of the next 16 points, and were behind just 31-28 at halftime. It was nip-and-tuck the rest of the game with nine more lead changes and four ties. A layup by Anderson with 11:52 to play put CSC ahead 50-44 for the biggest lead either team owned in the second half. Besides Anderson, the Eagles had two more players score in double figures. Guard Isaiah Wyatt had 12 points and a game-high 11 rebounds, all off the defensive glass.&nbsp;&nbsp;Point guard&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/marcus-jefferson/4653">Marcus Jefferson</a>&nbsp;had 11 while going seven-of-eight at the free throw line. Sioux Falls' only double-digit scorer besides Cartwright, who now has scored 85 points in four games, was point guard Jack Thompson with 11. Sioux Falls is 3-1 and Chadron State 0-3. The Eagles will host Nebraska-Kearney on Tuesday at 7 p.m.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sioux Falls—Matt Cartwright 27, Jack Thompson 11, Zane Alm 8, Chase Grinde 8, Trent Lippoldt 4, Noah Pueltz 4, Kenji Scales 4, Jack Kettner 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;Totals: 27-66 (9-22) 6-11 69 points, 38 rebounds, 7 turnovers.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Juwan Gary scored 17 points, Blaise Keita had a double-double, and Nebraska rallied in the second half to defeat Arkansas-Pine Bluff 82-58 on Sunday.

The Cornhuskers trailed 39-36 at halftime then shot 57% in the second half, outscoring the Golden Lions 46-19. Keita scored 13 of his 14 points after intermission and finished with 10 rebounds.

C.J. Wilcher had 15 points and Wilhelm Breidenbach 10 off the bench for Nebraska (3-1). Gary had seven rebounds.

Freshman guard Zach Reinhart led UAPB (1-6) with 17 points in 30 minutes of play off the bench. Shaun Doss Jr. scored 12 points, eight below his average.

The Cornhuskers fell behind by eight points in the second half before their 8-0 run tied it at 44 with 15:49 to go. Doss responded with a 3-pointer on the Golden Lions' next possession, but that would be their final lead of the game.

UAPB scored four points in a 9 1/2-minute stretch while Nebraska built a 77-53 lead.

The Cornhuskers were coming off a 70-50 loss at St. John's three days earlier. UAPB was playing its sixth game in 13 days.

Second-half surge powers Huskers by Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 82-58

DENVER (AP) — Derek Carr stepped up in crunch time after Russell Wilson shunned the slide that would have made his counterpart's heroics so much harder.

Carr hit a wide-open Davante Adams with a&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Raiders/status/1594486549802274818?s=20&amp;t=d7O7WwsFSjvW7iN5EfPr-A">35-yard touchdown pass</a>&nbsp;on the third play of overtime, powering the Las Vegas Raiders to a 22-16 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

“I've always loved those moments. That's what I dreamed of as a kid," Carr said after leading to the Raiders (3-7) to their first win in seven one-score games this season.

The Broncos (3-7) found another way to lose a close one, dropping their sixth one-score game when Wilson left too much time on the clock at the end of regulation.

Denver was clinging to a 16-13 lead at the 2-minute warning when Wilson rolled right on third-and-10 from his own 34 and instead of sliding to burn more time, he pulled up and fired out of bounds.

“We called a pass play to basically try to end the game right there,” Wilson said. “We get a first down, the game's over. They covered it up pretty good, I was trying to get outside the pocket and then (Jalen) Virgil was scrambling down. I thought I had him, tried to take a shot at him and the ball just kind of went away.

"But we've got the best defense in the world and unfortunately it didn't work out this time.”

Wilson's misfire stopped the clock and the Raiders, who didn’t have any timeouts left and hadn't led all afternoon, got the ball back with 1:43 left instead of about a minute.

Carr drove them 71 yards, hitting running back Josh Jacobs for 43 yards to the Denver 7 to set up Daniel Carlson’s game-tying kick with 16 seconds left in regulation.

The Raiders won the overtime coin toss and Brandon McManus kicked it to the 5-yard line instead of blasting the ball out of the back of the end zone. Ameer Abdullah returned it 28 yards to the Las Vegas 33.

After Jacobs lost a yard, Carr hit tight end Foster Moreau for 33 yards over the middle to the Denver 35. From there, Adams confused the Denver defense and was all alone for the game-winner, which gave him 141 yards and two TDs on seven catches. Carr finished 23 of 37 for 307 yards.

“Learn from this game and learn from my mistakes,” Broncos star cornerback Pat Surtain II said after getting turned around on the final play and also giving up a&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1594450993378271232?s=20&amp;t=cXPdauKggLD0X0HxpQkwMQ">31-yard TD reception</a>&nbsp;to Adams in the first half.

McManus' 48-yard field goal put the Broncos ahead 16-13 with 3:30 left in the fourth quarter and Denver's defense forced the Raiders to go three-and-out. But Wilson couldn't burn enough time off the clock before the Raiders got the ball back.

Embattled first-year Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett relinquished offensive play-calling duties to Klint Kubiak, his QB coach and passing game coordinator, saying, “I want to do whatever I can to help this team.”

The move paid off immediately when the Broncos scored a touchdown on their opening drive for the first time under Wilson, whose 32-yard throw to Kendall Hinton set up Latavius Murray’s 1-yard TD run.

After that, the game settled into the grind-it-out defensive affair expected of two teams that have been riddled by injuries and ineffective offensive play.

“Everyone's sick to their stomach week in and week out,” Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton said after the Broncos blew another early lead, this time 10-0. “We know what we've got to do. We've got to find a way.”

Maxx Crosby came up huge in the final seconds of the first half, preventing a touchdown and then a field goal as the Raiders turned back the Broncos and kept their deficit to 10-7 at the half.

Crosby punched the ball out of fumble-prone running back Melvin Gordon's arms at the 1. Although guard Quinn Meinerz recovered for Denver at the 7, Crosby blocked McManus' 25-yard field-goal try as the first half expired.

That was Crosby's&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/NFLonFOX/status/1594458094649606145?s=20&amp;t=_92Pc4H4eMMixcgULO-MZQ">third career blocked field goal</a>, and all three have been against the Broncos. He had two against Denver on Jan. 3, 2021.

“If you don’t block that field goal, then we have to score a touchdown at the end of regulation, so I thought it was an enormous play,” Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said. “I thought it definitely gave us a little bit of a boost there.”

Crosby had two sacks in the second half, giving him nine of Las Vegas' 14 sacks on the season.

In the first quarter, Carlson's 48-yard try sailed wide right for his first missed field goal since Nov. 7 2021, against the Giants in the Meadowlands.

After their hookup in overtime gave the Raiders their sixth straight win over Denver for the first time since 1992-94, Carr and Adams ran off the field together.

“It felt amazing,” Adams said. "I did save Derek a little bit. He almost pulled us into the wrong tunnel. He was a little excited.”

Adams has three overtime TDs, tied with LaDainian Tomlinson for the most in NFL history.

Raiders S Duron Harmon was carted off with a leg injury early in the fourth quarter. Harmon was playing in his 154th consecutive game.

The Broncos lost RB Chase Edmonds (ankle) on their first drive and DT D.J. Jones (hand) and DL Jonathan Harris (knee) in the second quarter.

The Raiders visit Seattle next Sunday, their fourth road game in five weeks.

O'Connor named RMAC Defensive Player of the Week 

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The suspect in a shooting at the University of Virginia that killed three members of the football team was taken into custody Monday, more than 13 hours after he allegedly gunned down fellow students in a bus as they returned from a school field trip, authorities said.

University President Jim Ryan and law enforcement officials were in the middle of a late morning news conference when they received word that Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. had been apprehended.

Two other students were wounded in the shooting late Sunday night, which happened near a campus parking garage as a charter bus full of students returned from seeing a play in Washington, D.C., for a class field trip. Ryan said one of the students was in critical condition and the other student was in good condition at a local hospital.

The shooting touched off an intense manhunt, with authorities ordering students to shelter in place and conducting a building-by-building and grounds search of the campus. Students stayed in place for more than 12 hours until the order was lifted late Monday morning.

When the news conference began, university police chief Timothy Longo Sr. said officials were “reasonably confident" the shooter was no longer on school grounds and urged the public to call 911 immediately if they saw him or the black SUV he was believed to be driving. Longo then received word that Jones had been apprehended.

“Just give me a moment to thank God, breathe a sigh of relief,” he said.

Longo said police have obtained arrest warrants for Jones charging him with three counts of murder and three counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. He said the bus filled with students had just returned to campus when the shooting began.

 </figure>CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The suspect in a shooting at the University of Virginia that killed three members of the football team was taken into custody Monday, more than 13 hours after he allegedly gunned down fellow students in a bus as they returned from a school field trip, authorities said.University President Jim Ryan and law enforcement officials were in the middle of a late morning news conference when they received word that Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. had been apprehended.Two other students were wounded in the shooting late Sunday night, which happened near a campus parking garage as a charter bus full of students returned from seeing a play in Washington, D.C., for a class field trip. Ryan said one of the students was in critical condition and the other student was in good condition at a local hospital.The shooting touched off an intense manhunt, with authorities ordering students to shelter in place and conducting a building-by-building and grounds search of the campus. Students stayed in place for more than 12 hours until the order was lifted late Monday morning.When the news conference began, university police chief Timothy Longo Sr. said officials were “reasonably confident" the shooter was no longer on school grounds and urged the public to call 911 immediately if they saw him or the black SUV he was believed to be driving. Longo then received word that Jones had been apprehended.“Just give me a moment to thank God, breathe a sigh of relief,” he said.Longo said police have obtained arrest warrants for Jones charging him with three counts of murder and three counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. He said the bus filled with students had just returned to campus when the shooting began.“Someone among them chose to do an act of violence," he said.

&nbsp; RAPID CITY, S.D. -- November 12, 2022 --&nbsp;Chadron State College's long winning streak over South Dakota Mines ended Saturday when the Hardrockers scored a touchdown in each quarter and limited the Eagles to just one TD during a 28-7 victory at O'Harra Memorial Stadium in Rapid City. It was the final game of the season for both teams.&nbsp; Mines finishes with a 7-4 record and the Eagles at 3-8. Chadron State had won the last 15 games between the longtime rivals dating back to 1989 and including the seven that had been played since the Hardrockers joined the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.&nbsp; The winner gains possession of the Eagle-Rock Trophy.&nbsp; A majority of the recent games have been high-scoring affairs, but both teams' defense played extra well Saturday.&nbsp; The Hardrockers were paced by sophomore quarterback Jayden Johannsen, who completed 28 of 41 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns.&nbsp; He also ran 49 yards for his team's second touchdown. The Sioux Falls native, who is the only South Dakotan on the Hardrockers' two-deep offensive depth chart, made big use of two senior receivers. Jeremiah Briggs caught 12 passes for 123 yards and Isaiah Eastman grabbed seven for 85.&nbsp; Both finished the season with more than 1,100 yards receiving. Despite leading his team to victory, things weren't always easy for Johannsen.&nbsp; He was sacked seven times for a negative 50 yards, five of them by Chadron State's star of the game, sophomore lineman&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/hunter-o-connor/4610">Hunter O'Connor</a>. A 6-foot-3, 255-pound product of Legacy High School at Broomfield, Colo., O'Connor became the Chadron State single season record holder with 16 quarterback sacks in a season. The record of 14 was set by Scott Dolfi in 1994, Casey Beran in 1999 and Bill Teerlinck in 2002. O'Connor also was the game's leading tackler Saturday with 13, all but one of them unassisted. In addition, his nine tackles for loss in a game is the new RMAC record. During his post-game interview Head Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/jay-long/503">Jay Long</a>&nbsp;said O'Connor and his defensive mates "kept us in the game as long as they could," adding that the CSC offense "struggled, and was never in sync." The Eagles, who were forced to punt 10 times, finished with just 230 total net yards, their lowest since the season-opener, when Angelo State, now 11-0 for the season, limited CSC to 224 yards. &nbsp;For the year, the Eagles averaged of 339 yards of total offense. The Hardrockers scored on the game's first possession by driving 75 yards in eight plays. Johannsen connected with freshman Mason Galbreath on a 30-yard pass on the opening play, and another freshman, Ty Harris, ran the final 24 yards to the end zone.&nbsp; Chris Taylor kicked the first of his four extra points to make it 7-0. The Eagles had to punt on their first three possessions, but immediately after the third, linebacker&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/joey-geil/4203">Joey Geil</a>&nbsp;forced Johannsen to fumble and freshman teammate Ritchie McCormick recovered at midfield. A facemask penalty against Mines netted the Eagles their initial first down. CSC was soon set back 10 yards for holding, but overcame it when quarterback Heath Beemiller connected with tight end&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/peter-krohn/4596">Peter Krohn</a>&nbsp;on two passes for 22 yards as the first quarter was ending. Three plays into the second frame, the same pair teamed up on a four-yard toss for the Eagles' touchdown. &nbsp;Gunnar Jones tied the score with his PAT kick. The Hardrockers answered almost immediately. Johannsen completed three consecutive passes to Bridges for 24 yards, then dashed 49 yards up the middle to put his team ahead 14-7. On the first play after the ensuing kickoff, the Eagles managed the game's longest play. It was a 50-yard pass from Beemiller to freshman Tommy Thomas that put the ball on the Mines' 36. &nbsp;However, the Orediggers soon stopped the drive by sacking the CSC quarterback and forcing another punt. Late in the second quarter, the Eagles had another golden opportunity, when Mines punter Casey Knutsen fumbled the snap from center. Even though Knutsen recovered his bobble, it was Chadron State's ball at the Hardrockers' 29. But, on the first play, Beemiller's pass was intercepted by none other than Knutsen, who also plays safety, at his team's one-yard line. After the hosts picked up a first down, O'Connor made one of his five sacks before Johannsen could unload the pass. It forced Knutsen to punt again, and the first half ended a couple of plays later. Mines put together a 14-play, 88-yard scoring drive midway in the third quarter. Johannsen completed eight passes for 69 of those yards, including a 10-yarder to Eastman for the touchdown. The Hardrockers went 87 yards in 10 plays for their final TD. Johannsen threw a 12-yard pass to Jake Leone for the score with 4:27 left to play. The Eagles tried to get their passing game going in the fourth period, but completed just seven of 18 tosses, and had one of them picked off and returned 39 yards by Kaleb Tischler. Beemiller completed 21 of 45 passes for 186 yards and was intercepted twice. Ahlonte Hair was the visitors' leading receiver with eight catches for 72 yards. Along with O'Connor, the Eagles' busiest tacklers included senior safety&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/brendan-brehmer/4186">Brendan Brehmer</a>&nbsp;of Alliance with nine and Geil with eight.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/harvey-reynolds/4245">Harvey Reynolds</a>&nbsp;and Tanner True both had seven. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CSC&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; SDM First Downs&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 14&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 28 Total Net Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 230&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 425 Rushes, Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 22-44 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 42-121 Passing Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 186&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 304 Passing&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 21-45-2 &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 28-41-0 Return Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 21&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 74 Punts, Average&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10-43.9 &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 5-40.4 Fumbles, Lost&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1-0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 2-1 Penalties, Yards&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8-75&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; 4-55 Chadron State&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 0&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ---7 South Dakota Mines &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; --28 SDM—Ty Harris 24 run (Chris Taylor kick) CSC—<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/peter-krohn/4596">Peter Krohn</a>&nbsp;4 pass from Heath Beemiller (Gunnar Jones kick) SDM—Jayden Johannsen 49 run (Taylor kick) SDM—Isaiah Eastman 10 pass from Johannsen (Taylor kick) SDM—Jake Leone 12 pass from Johannsen (Taylor kick) Rushing: CSC—<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/sports/football/roster/jalen-starks/4621">Jalen Starks</a>&nbsp;11-32, Rylan Aguallo 5-24, Jayden Cox 2-8, Heath Beemiller 40-minus 20.

O'Connor sets CSC sack record in season finale defeat at SD Mines

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Russell Wilson can run and throw the ball all over the field.

The 11-year veteran's challenge right now? Wilson looks much more like a rookie with the Denver Broncos than the nine-time&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/nfl">Pro Bowl</a>&nbsp;quarterback he was for the Seattle Seahawks.

Wilson threw for 286 yards and a touchdown Sunday. The quarterback with the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/seattle-seahawks-denver-broncos-nfl-sports-5ad015f158bca22da3d711ba8fbff08b">five-year, $245 million deal</a>&nbsp;also wound up sacked a&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Titans/status/1591903336663773184?s=20&amp;t=SXzeCcP5n7nBbOtd6d9ptQ">season-high six times</a>&nbsp;and was&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Titans/status/1591904477358850049?s=20&amp;t=SXzeCcP5n7nBbOtd6d9ptQ">intercepted at the goal line</a>&nbsp;with 11 seconds left in a&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/tennessee-titans-denver-broncos-nfl-sports-8700441159a383c619a2fad7a789a083">17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans</a>.

“I’ve got to find a way to get us two more touchdowns,” said Wilson, speaking to reporters while still wearing his uniform. "I think we’ve got to find a way to get two more touchdowns a game. I think that we were able to do that in London, we didn’t do it tonight.”

Wilson found&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1591869879644147712">rookie Jalen Virgil wide-open for a 66-yard</a>&nbsp;catch-and-run for a touchdown, and he led the Broncos to a 39-yard field goal and a 10-0 lead late in the second quarter. But an offense that has scored 12 points in the third quarter all season bogged down and didn't score another point.

The quarterback, whose new deal after&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/seattle-seahawks-denver-broncos-nfl-business-sports-c9fe3ed6d40314d91eec74404d37573e">being traded</a>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/denver-broncos">Denver</a>&nbsp;included a whopping $165 million in guarantees, was 21 of 42 and a 70.1 passer rating. He also ran seven times for 8 net yards. Wilson spent more time backpedaling, especially after losing wide receiver Jerry Jeudy to an injured ankle on the first play.

Not having Jeudy hurt even more with wide receiver KJ Hamler already scratched with an injured hamstring.

It didn't help that Graham Glasgow started at center for the injured Lloyd Cushenberry III and hurt a shoulder late in the third quarter. He was replaced by rookie Luke Wattenberg, who had played one snap previously. Right tackle Billy Turner didn't return after hurting a knee. It led to Wilson being hit 18 times.

First-year coach Nathaniel Hackett said the Broncos tried to mix it up as much as possible on offense.

“We wanted to try to master attack. We wanted a quick game,” Hackett said. “We wanted to do as much as we could to try to keep the defense off and protect those guys, and at the same time be able to protect Russ. And it just wasn’t coming together.”

Five of the Broncos' losses have been by one score with Sunday's the latest. Wilson also has been sacked at least three times in all but one game this season.

“We’re not going to give up, that’s for sure,” Wilson said. “Even though we’ve lost a lot of great players this season, really, the reality is we still have an opportunity to answer these moments. I’m going to do everything I can to find a way to answer those moments coming forward.”

AHS Volleyball Season Wrap Up

College athletic programs are reacting to soaring inflation the same way as everyone else — they’re looking for ways big and small to save money.

In the Power Five, home of college sports' biggest budgets and most considerable resources, schools are working with boosters and other partners to try to bridge the financial gap. Working down the line to smaller institutions, where budgets and resources are smaller, creativity is a must.

For schools of all sizes, travel and food are the most challenging issues.

Nebraska, with 24 sports programs and an athletic budget of $168 million this year, hopes to work with its beef and chicken vendors to find more cost-effective ways to order food for the training table. It’s also lining up more nonprofit groups to work concession stands to reduce labor costs.

The school expects the cost of doing business to be about $3 million more than it would be if the U.S. inflation rate hadn’t risen to more than 8%.

Arizona, which has a $101.6 million budget and 21 sports, projects costs could increase by $4 million, according to Derek van der Merwe, an assistant vice president and chief operating officer for administration and athletics at the Pac-12 school.

“You have to work real closely with all your teams to take a look at what changes you can make to absorb that cost within your operating budgets, or you have to look at other opportunities to increase revenues to offset those costs,” van der Merwe said. “The post-pandemic economy and insecurity is around a lot of the budgets we have to manage and makes it challenging because we don’t know what to anticipate.”

Those Power Five schools, though, have deep-pocketed boosters they can often rely on in times of need, an insurance policy for budgetary concerns.

At Mary Baldwin University, a private school with about 1,000 undergraduate students in Staunton, Virginia, it’s a far different story. The school competes in Division III in the USA South Athletic Conference, and most of its members are in North Carolina, anywhere from 3½ to 6 hours away.

Besides the cost of travel, there are overnight stays and food expenses.

The Fighting Squirrels do not field a football team, having only started admitting men in 2017, but added baseball and men’s basketball last year. The new programs began just as the athletic budget, cut 20% during the pandemic, was restored to its previous level before those additions, athletic director Tom Byrnes said.

“So we’re doing things here on a shoestring,” he told The Associated Press. “And we’re getting it done, you know, as best we can. But inflation is not helping us.”

The school is banking on its creativity and some local generosity.

Men’s basketball, 8-13 in its inaugural season, will play exhibitions against two Division I programs, rather than a couple scrimmages that might be more helpful for player development, hoping to bring in $3,000-$4,000 for each to pay for the team’s basketball shoes.

“Baseball, softball and women’s basketball teams all work in concession stands or as ushers at James Madison football games,” Byrnes said, traveling in a bus provided by a local company at cost. The school also is negotiating with a used car dealer to have it provide a car for coaches to use on recruiting trips for free, and has local restaurants that sometimes provide food at a discount.

“So those are the kind of things we have to do. We do nickel and dime stuff, too. The women’s soccer team has a Kona ice truck at games, so stuff like that," Byrnes said.

While unlikely to have to resort to such measures, the biggest schools are not immune to belt-tightening wherever possible. Coaches' requests for equipment are scrutinized, and they are sometimes asked to give up something in return.

But they all still have to travel, and eat.

Nebraska expects to spend $9.2 million on athletic department travel this year, executive associate athletic director and CFO Doug Ewald said. That’s a 17% increase, or $1.3 million. Arizona, meanwhile, expects its athletic travel costs to increase 20%-25% over last year, van der Merwe said.

Foresight helped Iowa State avoid some of the increases, senior associate athletic director Chris Jorgensen said, by locking in charter flight costs months or even years ago, while rival Iowa’s football travel will increase appreciably.

Charter flights for the Hawkeyes will be 8.5% higher and charter bus costs are up 12%, associate athletic director and CFO Greg Davies told the AP.

The Nebraska training table will see food costs rise about 20% this year, from $3.2 million to $3.8 million. Nebraska athletes consume 2,200 pounds of beef each month, and Ewald said the athletic department hopes to work with vendors to find ways to get better deals for buying in greater bulk.

Arizona, like Nebraska, is trying to absorb the added costs due to inflation by tightening belts. One thing is not negotiable, van der Merwe said.

“Our philosophy is that we make sure the student-athlete experience is the priority for everything we budget and plan for,” he said, “and everything around that is curtailed in order to make sure we maintain the integrity of that priority.”

The philosophy is the same at Randolph-Macon College, another Division III school in Virginia. Athletic director Jeff Burns credits the school's athletic success for having allowed it to dip into reserves to maintain that standard.

“There’s really a spectrum across Division III. You’re going to see a lot of different ways where the haves are going to be able to handle it and the have nots are probably going to be forced to make some changes,” Burns said.

After more than three decades in sports, it’s not how Mary Baldwin's Byrnes imagined things. He took the job six months before the pandemic began.

“It’s challenging," he said. "But you know what? It keeps every day interesting.”

seasons. The Contemporary Baseball Era features two distinct ballots: 
One for players (considered this fall) and one for managers, executives 
and umpires (considered in the fall of 2023).

Following the restructuring of the Era Committee process in the 
spring of 2022, the two Contemporary Baseball Era ballots were 
instituted, along with the Classic Baseball Era, which includes all 
candidates whose primary contribution to the game came prior to 1980. 
The Classic Baseball Era Committee will meet for the first time in the 
fall of 2024.

The eight Contemporary Baseball Era player finalists were selected by
 the BBWAA-appointed Historical Overview Committee from all eligible 
candidates among players whose most significant career impact was 
realized since 1980. Eligible candidates include players who played in 
at least 10 major league seasons and have been retired for 15 or more 
seasons. All candidates must not be on Baseball’s Ineligible List.

The Contemporary Baseball Era player ballot was determined this fall 
by the Historical Overview Committee, comprised of 11 veteran 
historians: Bob Elliott (Canadian Baseball Network); Jim Henneman (formerly Baltimore Sun); Steve Hirdt (Stats Perform); Rick Hummel (St. Louis Post-Dispatch); David O’Brien (The Athletic); Jack O’Connell (BBWAA); Jim Reeves (formerly Fort Worth Star-Telegram); Tracy Ringolsby (InsideTheSeams.com); Glenn Schwarz (formerly San Francisco Chronicle); Susan Slusser (San Francisco Chronicle); and Mark Whicker (Los Angeles News Group).  

The 16-member Hall of Fame Board-appointed electorates charged with 
the review of the Contemporary Baseball Era player ballot will be 
announced later this fall. The Committee will meet to discuss and review
 the candidacies of the eight finalists as part of baseball’s Winter 
Meetings on Dec. 4 in San Diego, Calif.

The eight candidates for Contemporary Baseball Era Committee consideration for the Class of 2023: 

•	Albert Belle played 12 seasons with the Indians, 
White Sox and Orioles before a hip injury cut short his career. A 
five-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger Award winner, Belle was 
three-time American League RBI champion who finished second or third in 
the league’s Most Valuable Player balloting in each season from 1994-96.
 He remains the only player in history to post a 50 home run/50 double 
season, having done so in 1995.

•	Barry Bonds played 22 seasons with the Pirates and
 Giants, winning seven National League Most Valuable Player Awards and 
eight Gold Glove Awards in the outfield. MLB’s all-time home run leader 
with 762, Bonds set single-season records for home runs (73 in 2001) and
 walks (232 in 2004). He led the NL in on-base percentage 10 times and 
paced the league in batting average twice.

•	Roger Clemens pitched 24 seasons for the Red Sox, 
Blue Jays, Yankees and Astros, winning seven Cy Young Awards. Clemens 
was named the 1986 AL Most Valuable Player and earned All-Star Game 
berths in 11 seasons. A two-time World Series champion with the Yankees 
(1999-2000), Clemens led his league in earned-run average seven times 
and was a five-time 20-game winner. 

•	Don Mattingly played 14 big league seasons – all 
with the Yankees – and compiled a .307 batting average while earning six
 All-Star Game selections, nine Gold Glove Awards at first base and the 
1985 American League Most Valuable Player Award. A three-time Silver 
Slugger Award winner and the 1984 AL batting champion, Mattingly has 
managed in the big leagues for 12 seasons and was named the 2020 
National League Manager of the Year.

•	Fred McGriff totaled 493 home runs over 19 seasons
 with the Blue Jays, Padres, Braves, Devil Rays, Cubs and Dodgers that 
included eight 100-RBI campaigns and six years where he finished in the 
Top 10 of his league’s MVP voting. The 1994 All-Star Game MVP and one of
 the leaders of the 1995 Braves team that won the World Series, McGriff 
led his league in homers twice while compiling a .377 career on-base 
percentage.

•	Dale Murphy earned back-to-back NL Most Valuable 
Player Awards with the Braves in 1982-83 during a five-year stretch 
where he won five Gold Glove Awards in center field and four Silver 
Slugger Awards. A seven-time All-Star who played 18 seasons with the 
Braves, Phillies and Rockies, Murphy led the league in home runs twice, 
RBI twice and slugging percentage twice while posting a 30 homer/30 
steal season in 1983.

•	Rafael Palmeiro totaled 3,020 hits, 569 homers and
 1,835 RBI over 20 big league seasons with the Cubs, Rangers and 
Orioles, earning four All-Star Game selections, three Gold Glove Awards 
at first base and two Silver Slugger Awards. He posted 10 seasons with 
at least 100 RBI and 10 seasons with at least 30 home runs while 
finishing his career with more walks (1,353) than strikeouts (1,348).

•	Curt Schilling is one of only four retired 
pitchers with at least 3,000 strikeouts and fewer than 1,000 walks. 
Schilling was named the 2001 World Series co-MVP and owns an 11-2 mark 
with a 2.23 ERA in 19 career Postseason appearances. He won 216 regular 
season games over 20 seasons with the Orioles, Astros, Phillies, 
Diamondbacks and Red Sox and was named to six All-Star Games.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska starting safety Myles Farmer has been suspended for Saturday's game at No. 3 Michigan after being ticketed on suspicion of drunken driving last weekend.

The 21-year-old Farmer was stopped in downtown Lincoln at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday for a traffic violation, police said Tuesday. The officer observed signs of impairment and additional tests were conducted.

Farmer's blood alcohol content was measured at 0.123, police said. The legal limit in Nebraska is 0.08. He was cited for driving under the influence and failure to use a turn signal and was released.

“Myles, he made a mistake. He made a bad mistake and we don't condone it,” interim coach Mickey Joseph said at his weekly news conference. “We always talk about protect the football team, and he didn't. He will be suspended this week and we’ll re-evaluate him after this week.”

Farmer, who is from Atlanta, made a career-high 14 tackles in the&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/college-football-sports-nebraska-cornhuskers-tanner-morgan-69625952cf43d7ba8e0212c68f7b9d96">Cornhuskers' 20-13 loss to Minnesota</a>&nbsp;on Saturday, the most by a Nebraska defensive back in two years.&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/college-football-sports-nebraska-cornhuskers-travis-vokolek-myles-farmer-f2f69257201725996076d0212e8a9cd1">His fourth-quarter interception at Rutgers</a>&nbsp;on Oct. 7 set up the Huskers' go-ahead touchdown in a 14-13 win.
