The AHSTW Vikings found a way to rally in the fourth quarter and pull out a 60-53 win over Audubon on Friday night. The Vikings trailed much of the game but Raydden Grobe and Sam Porter came up big in the fourth quarter to improve their record to 13-2. Grobe scored 11 of his game high 20 points in the fourth and Porter made 7 straight free throws down the stretch to seal the victory. AHSTW Head Coach GG Harris thought his guys showed some guts in the win.

The Vikings made 11 of 14 free throws in the second half, where as the Wheelers were only 7 of 17. Audubon led from late in the first quarter at 12-11 until midway through the fourth quarter when a Raydden Grobe three put the Vikings in front 49-48. The Vikings would never trail the rest of the way. Foul trouble was a problem all night for both teams with a total of 48 fouls called and two players fouled out

Porter finished with 15 points and Brayden Lund had a big night off the bench for AHSTW with 14. The Vikings will travel to Missouri Valley on Tuesday.

Audubon had three players finish in double figures; Marcus Olsen 13, Skyler Schultes 11, and Ethan Klocke 10. Audubon falls to 6-8 and will travel to IKM-Manning on Monday.

Kailey Jones rebounded a Claire Denning miss and put it in as time expired to give AHSTW a thrilling 63-61 overtime win over Audubon on Friday night. Aleah Hermensen had just tied the game at 61 with a long three with about 10 seconds to play before Denning raced up the floor and got free for a floater that bounced left off the rim to Jones. After the game Denning said it was a night to remember.

AHSTW Head Coach Steve Sauvain said they run a drill that tries to simulate those type of late game situations and he had a feeling they would at least get a look at the winning bucket.

Jones finished with 26 points to lead all scorers on the night, 14 of those coming in the fourth quarter and overtime. Claire Denning finished with 18 and Claire Harris had 12. The Vikings were able to avenge their only loss of the season, which was another overtime game on December 13 against the Wheelers that they dropped 54-48. Coach Sauvain said he was proud of the way the team battled.

The game was back and forth all night long with both teams making great plays. The Lady Vikes led 20-16 at the end of the first, Audubon grabbed a one point lead at half 30-29, and it was tied after three at 41 and at 53 at the end of regulation. The Lady Vikes improved to 14-1 with the victory and will now head to Missouri Valley on Tuesday.

Audubon was led by 20 points from Aleah Hermensen, 12 from Rylie Hartl, and 11 from Leah Subbert. The Wheelers fall to 10-4 and will next travel to IKM-Manning on Monday.

The Audubon Wheelers play host to the AHSTW Lady Vikes and Vikings tonight for a Western Iowa Conference basketball doubleheader and we’ll have coverage on KJAN. It’s the second meeting of the season for the teams after playing in Avoca back on December 13th.

Audubon pulled off a win in the girls game the last time 54-48 in overtime. It was a great back and forth game and Rylie Hartl came up big for Audubon with four 3’s and 16 total points to help the Wheelers get the W. That remains the lone loss on the season for the 13-1 Lady Vikes. The Wheelers enter tonight with a 10-3 record.

The boys game was won by AHSTW last time 75-59. The Vikings used a big third quarter in that game to pull away from the Wheelers. Michael Mantell led the Vikings that night with 14 points. The Vikings are now 12-2 coming into tonight against the 6-7 Wheelers.

Chris Parks has the call tonight from Audubon with pregame at 5:50 p.m. before the girls game starts at 6:00 p.m. with the boys to follow. Tune in on AM 1220, FM 101.1, and online at kjan.com

Iowa coach Lisa Bluder picked up her 200th Big Ten win while the Hawkeyes won their seventh straight game and 31st consecutive at home. They are tied atop the Big Ten with No. 22 Northwestern. Dorka Juhasz scored 22 points with 16 rebounds for the Buckeyes.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Big 12 takes a break from conference play this weekend when its teams match up with members of the Southeastern Conference for the SEC-Big 12 Challenge. Third-ranked Kansas will be without suspended big men Silvio De Sousa and David McCormick when they face former Texas coach Rick Barnes and Tennessee on Saturday. Top-ranked Baylor heads to Florida and No. 18 Kentucky welcomes No. 15 Kentucky in the other two big showdowns Saturday.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — KJ Robinson matched his season high with 24 points that included five in overtime to help Omaha beat Western Illinois 87-82. Robinson had a chance to win it in regulation, but Zion Young blocked his layup attempt with 3 seconds left to force overtime knotted at 72. Robinson added a 3-pointer, and a pair of free throws with 2 seconds left to seal it. Matt Pile added 16 points and 11 rebounds for Omaha. Kobe Webster scored 17 points to lead the Leathernecks.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Keandre Cook poured in 27 points and Missouri State jumped out to a big first-half lead and held off Valparaiso 67-60. Cook buried 6 of 12 shots from the floor and 12 of 16 free throws for the Bears (10-10, 4-3 Missouri Valley Conference). Mileek McMillan topped the Crusaders (10-10, 3-4) with 12 points, while Javon Freeman-Liberty and Daniel Sackey scored 11 each.

UNDATED (AP) — No. 21 Illinois is tied for first place in the Big Ten heading into a matchup at Michigan on Saturday. The Illini are even with Michigan State after the 11th-ranked Spartans lost at Indiana on Thursday night. That’s a big deal for Illinois, which hasn’t finished above .500 in conference play since 2010. Coach Brad Underwood’s team has won five straight games, and the Illini now face a Michigan team that’s going through a rough stretch. The Wolverines, who have been without injured forward Isaiah Livers, have lost three in a row and four of their last five. Illinois beat Michigan 71-62 when the teams met in December.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Terrell Suggs joined the Kansas City Chiefs at the perfect time. The 17-year veteran was waived by the Arizona Cardinals late in the season and claimed by the Chiefs, joining them in time for the final two games of the regular season. He has continued to play well for Kansas City during the playoffs, and now the Chiefs are leaning on his Super Bowl experience as they get ready to play the San Francisco 49ers in the big game. The guy nicknamed “T-Sizzle” certainly has the Chiefs sizzling as they get ready for the pomp and circumstance of Miami.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Royals star catcher Salvador Perez is about to become a U.S. citizen. The Royals say Perez passed his citizenship exam earlier this month and will be be joined by Chief U.S. District Judge Beth Phillips on the Royals FanFest main stage Friday at the Kansas City Convention Center to take the oath of allegiance. He says he is “grateful to this country for the many opportunities I have been given; including the ability to play professional baseball.” Perez was sidelined last season by Tommy John surgery but is preparing to return to the roster this year.
