Cards’ Mikolas to get injection, likely to miss season start

Sports

February 18th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas will receive a platelet-rich plasma injection in his ailing throwing arm, likely delaying his regular-season debut by about one month. The 2018 All-Star received a similar injection after last season to treat a flexor tendon issue. St. Louis manager Mike Shildt says the injection will keep Mikolas from throwing for three to four weeks. Once he is cleared to throw, Mikolas will have to restart his throwing program from the beginning.

Dotson’s 29 points lead No. 3 Kansas past Iowa State, 91-71

Sports

February 18th, 2020 by Ric Hanson

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Devon Dotson hit six 3-pointers and scored 29 points, five Kansas players hit double-figures scoring, and the third-ranked Jayhawks rolled to a 91-71 victory over Iowa State. The win sets up a monumental rematch with No. 1 Baylor.

Ochai Agbaji added 14 points, Udoka Azubuike and Christian Braun scored 13 apiece, and David McCormack scored 10 for the Jayhawks, who have not lost since the Bears beat them at Allen Fieldhouse in mid-January.

Prentiss Nixon scored 20 points, Matt Jacobson had 13 and Rasir Bolton 12 for the slumping Cyclones, who have lost 14 of their last 15 games at the Phog and still have not won a road game this season.

Trojans show stronger fight, but still fall short against Harlan

Sports

February 17th, 2020 by admin

For the second Monday night in a row the Harlan Cyclones boys basketball team picked up a win over the Atlantic Trojans. This time the Trojans played much tougher but the Cyclones pulled away in the fourth quarter to win 57-40.

Harlan was up 29-12 at the half but Atlantic found some offense in the third quarter. Dayton Templeton scored 10 of his 15 points in the period and the Trojans got as close as 38-32. Harlan then finished the quarter on a 6-0 run and got the first hoop of the fourth to take back control.

Connor Bruck had a strong night for the Cyclones with 19 points. He went 9-11 at the free throw line in the second half to help seal the Cyclone win. Michael Heithoff added 13 as Harlan improved to 15-5 on the season. They play host to Carroll on Thursday night to wrap up the regular season.

Atlantic falls to 8-12 on the season and they will finish the regular season schedule at Denison on Thursday.

The Trojans and Cyclones will meet again next Monday night in the Class 3A Substate 8 Semifinals. That game will be played at Glenwood and will be the second game of the night at 8:00 p.m. Glenwood will face Greene County in the first game at 6:30 p.m. that night. We’ll have coverage of the Trojans and Cyclones on KJAN once again.
