IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Federal prosecutors are seeking the equivalent of a life sentence for a former elite Iowa youth basketball coach who sexually abused and exploited 400 boys over a decade. In a sentencing memorandum filed Thursday, prosecutors asked a judge to sentence former Iowa Barnstormers coach Greg Stephen to 180 years in prison. They said that sentence would reflect the harm he caused his “victims and the community” and “his level of dangerousness.” Sentencing is scheduled for May 2.

Stephen pleaded guilty last year to sexually exploiting minors and possessing and transporting child pornography. He acknowledged secretly recording players while they were naked, posed as a girl on social media to trick boys into sending him sexually explicit images, and recorded himself fondling boys while they slept. Stephen’s defense is asking for a 20-year sentence.

Shenandoah ran away with the team win at the Southwest Valley Timberwolf Girls Invitational on Thursday. The Fillies tallied 103 points, led by Logan Hughes’ victories in the Shot Put in the Discus.

Nodaway Valley finihsed 2nd and had 4 event wins on the night. Lexi Shike won the 100M Hurdles. The Wolverines also won the Shuttle Hurdle Relay and Sprint Medley. Reagan Weinheimer won the 800M.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Homer Bailey won consecutive starts for the first time since July 2017, holding the New York Yankees to three hits over six innings and leading the Kansas City Royals to a 6-1 victory. Jorge Soler and Ryan O’Hearn hit solo home runs off Domingo Germán, and the Royals won their second straight after starting the season 5-12, including 0-5 on the road.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s Noor Ahmed is the only golfer at the college level or higher known to wear a hijab while competing. Ahmed says she hopes Muslim girls are watching her and encouraged to chase their dreams in environments where they might encounter fear, uncertainty and hostility. Ahmed has been the Cornhuskers’ No. 2 player most of the spring. She helped them win their first tournament title in five years.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — From the moment he took over the Kansas City Chiefs’ front office, general manager Brett Veach has been willing to go out on a limb, whether it was signing a big-name free agent or swinging a trade or releasing a well-known player. Now, he will finally have a chance to show what he can do in the draft.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State should have one of the most talented teams in school history. The Cyclones will also be without two of the most gifted players they’ve ever had in wide receiver Hakeem Butler and running back David Montgomery, and replacing their production will be paramount to their success next season. But the Cyclones should finally have enough depth to withstand those blows.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has officially appealed the two-year suspension of forward Silvio De Sousa arising from an FBI probe into corruption in college basketball. The school says De Sousa was suspended for most of the 2018-19 basketball season and all of the 2019-20 season “for alleged violations that he was unaware of and from which he did not benefit.” The appeal now goes to the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. That committee’s ruling is final.

UNDATED (AP) — Major League Soccer will expand to 30 total teams in the upcoming years. Commissioner Don Garber made the announcement at the Board Of Governors meeting in Los Angeles. The board did not identify markets but groups in St. Louis and Sacramento, California, will be invited to give formal presentations to the league’s expansion committee.
