AMES, Iowa (AP) – Devon Dotson had 20 points and six assists, David McCormack added 16 points and seven rebounds and No. 3 Kansas routed Iowa State 79-53. The Jayhawks closed the first half with a 21-3 run to take a 20-point lead. They improved to 12-2 overall and 2-0 in the Big 12, handing Iowa State its most-lopsided loss in the series since an 89-66 setback Feb. 12, 2011, in Lawrence. Kansas held star Iowa State guard Tyrese Haliburton to five points.

Members of the Atlantic School Board, Wednesday night, received an update from Superintendent Steve Barber, with regard to the District’s Facilities projects. Barber said they are working with Snyder and Associates Engineers, to ensure that the sidewalk project in front of the Middle School meets ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements. Portions of the sidewalks are in bad shape. Snyder’s, he said, will make sure local concrete businesses will have the opportunity to bid on the project, which will be taken care of this summer.

He said also, the firm will produce a cost estimate for the replacement of the roof above the Schuler gymnasium. And, in the near future, Barber says the fund-raising committee for the Atlantic Booster Club will put out a News Release on raising funds for the Facility Project, for the addition of turf to the Trojan Bowl, as discussed last June. As it currently stands, donation recognition levels will begin with: “Players” at $300-$999; Those who contribute $1,000 to $2,499 are at the “Black: level; The “Gold” level is for funds from $5,000 to $9,999; “Letter Winner” is $10,000 to $49,999; and, “Trojan Head” level donation recognition is for those donations of $50,000 and above.

Barber said work on “Moving dirt” continues at the Trojan Bowl, and that work on the concession stands will move forward, weather permitting, after the permafrost is no longer a factor…sometime in April.

Scoreboard options

Activity Director Andy Mitchell spoke to the Board about three options for scoreboards at the District’s Athletic Facilities. The Trojan Bowl Scoreboard  favored by the School Board, has the words “Atlantic” on the left and “Trojans” on the right, with digital scores and video information (such as final track results) in the center, flanked at the bottom by smaller, billboard sponsors.

The pricing for each of the three scoreboard options varies with the design and overall size. Mitchell will gather more information on the scoreboards and bring that back to the School Board, during their meeting in February.

The Atlantic boys swim team was in action for a triangular against large school teams Waukee and Sioux City West. Waukee came out with two wins in the team scoring 60-34 over Sioux City West and 78-12 over Atlantic. Sioux City West topped Atlantic 76-17.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State hosts No. 3 Kansas on Wednesday night looking to recapture some of its home magic. The Cyclones lost four of their last five home games last season and have dropped two already this year. They have won 84 percent of their home games over the past nine years. Iowa State coach Steve Prohm says he plans to mix and match his four-guard sets and two-forward lineups. He is also worried about stopping Kansas big man Udoka Azubuike and Jayhawks guard Devon Dotson.
