IRVING, Texas – The Big 12 Conference announced Monday that Iowa State sophomore linebacker Marcel Spears was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.
A native of Olathe, Kan., Spears played a huge role in Iowa State’s third-straight win against Texas Tech on Saturday. Spears, who had seven tackles in the game, sealed the victory with his fourth quarter, 61-yard interception return for a touchdown. After Texas Tech had trimmed the lead to 24-13, Spears perfectly read a TTU screen pass and ran untouched for the pick-six to put the game out of reach.
It was Iowa State’s third interception return for a TD this season, tying for third nationally.
Spears is having an outstanding season, ranking fourth in the Big 12 and 44th nationally in tackles per game at 8.7. He is also tied for the team lead in forced fumbles with two. This is the third-straight week an ISU player has been honored by the league: Joel Lanning (Def. PoW- Oklahoma), Kyle Kempt (Off. PoW- Oklahoma) and Trever Ryen (ST PoW- Kansas).
No. 25 Iowa State, 5-2 overall and 3-1 in Big 12 play, will play host to No. 4 TCU on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT.
Tournament play continues tonight for Class 3A, 4A, and 5A with Regional Semifinals on tap. All matches are set to start at 7:00pm unless otherwise noted.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — While the Chiefs spent the weekend ruing a last-play loss to the Raiders, they could at least take solace in another dazzling performance from Kareem Hunt. But the Chiefs also must be mindful of the wear and tear on their rookie running back, who is on pace to finish with nearly 300 carries this season.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — A week after 23rd-ranked Iowa State struggled to beat Army at home in September 2005, it fell out of the Top 25. It would take a dozen years and three different head coaches for the Cyclones to finally return to the national rankings. Iowa State climbed back into the Top 25 at No. 25 on the strength of three straight wins, including victories at Oklahoma and Texas Tech. A huge tests comes Saturday at home against No. 4 TCU.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska running back Tre Bryant, who missed the last five games because of a knee injury, will have surgery that likely will end his season. Coach Mike Riley says the surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. The sophomore from St. Louis may be a candidate to get a season of eligibility back by petitioning for a medical redshirt. The Cornhuskers play at Purdue this Saturday.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jose Oquendo will return to his role as third base coach for the St. Louis Cardinals next season. Oquendo stepped aside after 16 seasons as the St. Louis third base coach because of health problems prior to the 2016 season. The Cardinals finished third in the National League Central this season and missed the playoffs for the second straight year.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin will host a free exhibition basketball game against Northern Iowa on Nov. 1. Tipoff is 7 p.m. at Kohl Center. The game will raise money for hurricane relief in the southern U.S. and the Caribbean. While admission is free, tickets must be secured online at UWBadgers.com.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Purdue has scored only 21 points and one touchdown in its past 120 minutes in a 17-9 loss at Wisconsin and a 14-12 loss at Rutgers. Coach Jeff Brohm is hoping to settle on a starting quarterback after using both David Blough and Elijah Sindelar. The Boilermakers host Nebraska on Saturday night.

The CAM Cougars volleyball team picked up a 3-0 sweep over Ankeny Christian Academy on Monday night in Anita. The Cougars won 25-18, 25-12, 25-13 to advance to the Regional Semifinals on Thursday night. CAM will face Coon Rapids-Bayard in Coon Rapids on Thursday, after the Crusaders picked up a 3-0 sweep over Exira-EHK.
CAM got a good night from Madison Gettler who found the soft spot in the Eagles zone on a number of tips. She was also strong at the net with a number of key blocks on the night. CAM Head Coach Craig Fredin said his team played well at times but he was disappointed with the 8 hitting errors they had in the first set and the lull they had in the third period. He said he told the team they would have to put forth a better effort to have success on Thursday in the semifinal. The Cougars improve their record to 15-18 on the season with the win.
Ankeny Christian Academy sees their season end with a 10-17 record.
CAM and Coon Rapids-Bayard will meet on Thursday night at 7:00pm in the semifinal match-up that we will have for you on KJAN.
