WICHITA, Kansas – The No. 1-ranked Northwest Missouri State Bearcat men’s basketball team topped the Newman University Jets on the road Thursday at Fugate Gymnasium, 98-69.

Northwest moves to 19-1 overall and 9-1 in MIAA play. Newman falls 8-13 overall and 2-10 in league action.

Northwest tied a season-high with 17 three-pointers in the victory. The Bearcats shot 64.7% from the field, including 65.4% from three-point range. Newman shot 58.1% from the field.

Northwest made its first seven three-point attempts and opened up a 30-19 lead less than nine minutes into the contest. Junior Ryan Hawkins made his first five shots from the floor, including a trio from three-point land. Hawkins finished with 36 points on 13-of-16 shooting from the floor. Hawkins drained 7-of-9 from three-point range. Hawkins added five steals.

The Bearcats continued to rain in three-pointers and hit on 81.3% of their first-half three-pointers by making 13-of-16 from distance. Hawkins poured in 28 first-half points as he went 10-of-12 from the field, including 6-of-7 from three-point distance. Sophomore Trevor Hudgins nearly had a double-double in the first half with nine points and assists. Hudgins would finish with 21 points and 11 assists.

Northwest buried 70% of its first-half shots (21-of-30). Newman shot 60% from the field (12-of-20) in the opening half and still trailed 59-32 at the break.

The Bearcats built their lead to 36 points in the second half and cruised to a 98-69 road triumph.

Sophomore Diego Bernard tallied 15 points and knocked in all three of his three-pointers.

Senior Ryan Welty collected a team-best six rebounds and sank three of his four three-point shots to tally nine points for the Bearcats.

Northwest will travel on Saturday to match up against the University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos. Tip is set for 3:30 p.m. in Edmond, Oklahoma.

The Glenwood girls basketball team ramped up some man pressure in the second quarter and flustered Atlantic on their way to an 80-50 victory on Thursday night. The Trojans held tight early with a 17-13 lead in favor of the Rams at the end of the 1st. The pressure in the second then forced a large number of Atlantic turnovers, and the Rams took advantage of those mistakes to grab a 38-18 lead at half. Both teams got the offense going better in the second half and the Rams gradually added a little to their lead. After the game Atlantic Head Coach Dan Vargason said Glenwood is just a solid team.

Glenwood was led by 14 points apiece from Jenna Hopp and Madison Camden. Elle Scarborough added 12, Emma Hughes had 13, and Coryl Matheny dropped in 10. The Rams stay unbeaten on the season, improving to 16-0. They will next host Treynor in a non-conference tilt on Monday.

Atlantic had three players in double figures, Haley Rasmussen and McKenzie Waters both had 12 and Tessa Grooms added 10. Despite the loss Coach Vargason was proud of the girls for continuing to fight through the game.

The Trojans fall to back to .500 at 8-8 on the season and they will travel to St. Albert on Friday night. We’ll have that game on KJAN with pregame at 5:50 p.m. and tip-off at 6:00 p.m.

Atlantic senior Brody O’Brien officially signed to play college baseball at Briar Cliff University on Wednesday. O’Brien has been a consistent hitter for the Trojans and split his time between third base and the mound last year. Brody said Briar Cliff felt like a good place for him athletically and academically.

O’Brien hit .343 last year for the Trojans and led the team with 17 RBIs on 24 hits. As a sophomore O’Brien had 19 RBIs on 27 hits. He said he has always prided himself on being a good hitter.

O’Brien will join a Charger team that went 22-26 last season with an 11-17 record in the Great Plains Athletic Conference. Corby McGlauflin will be in his first season as the Chargers Head Coach, taking over for Boyd Pitkin who spent 22 seasons at the helm. O’Brien talked about some of the goals he has for his final high school season this summer.
