LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Brad Davison scored 10 of his 13 points in the second half and fueled No. 24 Wisconsin’s decisive surge in the second half of a 62-51 win over Nebraska. The Badgers won their fourth straight game, frittering away a big first-half lead before pulling away in the second. Isaiah Roby led Nebraska with 18 points and nine rebounds.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Dylan Osetkowksi scored 16 points and Texas used stifling defense to snap a 10-game losing streak to No. 11 Kansas with a 73-63 win. Jase Febres made three 3-pointers late in the second half as Texas fought off a late rally that saw the Jayhawks get within three points. Texas hadn’t beaten the Jayhawks since 2014.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are planning more than $10 million in upgrades to Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs announced that the renovations will include a “modernization” of the Arrowvision scoreboard, along with waterproofing and new seats _ with cup holders _ in the stadium’s upper deck. The work could begin next week. The Kansas City Star reports the Chiefs are paying for the work but can ask in the future to be reimbursed by the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears have hired Mark DeLeone as inside linebackers coach. DeLeone spent the past six seasons on Andy Reid’s staff in Kansas City and worked with Bears coach Matt Nagy from 2013-17. DeLeone worked with Pro Bowl linebackers such as Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali and Justin Houston in Kansas City. Houston set a franchise record with 22 sacks in 2014.

AHSTW’s Brayton Tuma announced late Monday that he will continue his academic and football career at Northwestern College in Orange City. Tuma was a strong contributor to a Vikings squad that finished as Class A Runners-Up this season.

Tuma finished his senior season at wide receiver with 30 catches for 589 yards and 6 touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball Tuma had 46.5 tackles and four interceptions as a defensive back.

Tuma chose Northwestern over a number of other recent offers from area schools such as Grand View, Upper Iowa, and Peru State.

The Exira-EHK Spartans opened the game up with a 7-0 run and never trailed against the CAM Cougars on Monday night in a 74-50 win. The Spartans led 23-14 at halftime and increased the lead to double-digits in the second quarter. A wild three at the first half buzzer by DeShawn Carr got the Cougars within 8 at the break 40-32.

The Spartans then put the game away by opening up the second half with a 16-0 run. The Cougars didn’t get a bucket until about one minute left in the third quarter and finished with just 5 points in the period. The Spartans pulled away further in the fourth quarter to improve to 16-2 on the season.

The Spartans had two players, Trey Nelson and Josh Pettepier, finish with 18 points. Nelson hit 4 threes in the game and Pettepier scored all of his 18 from downtown with 6 triples. Cole Burmeister also had a strong night with 16 points. The Spartans head to Boyer Valley on Friday.

The Cougars were led by 11 from DeShawn Carr off the bench. The Cougars fall to 6-9 on the season and will travel to Woodbine on Tuesday.

The Exira-EHK Spartans were able to make enough big plays down the stretch to edge out a win over CAM 58-55 on Monday night in Elk Horn. It was a close game throughout with the teams being tied at the end of the first at 13. The Cougars got a three from Madison Gettler at the first half buzzer to lead by 6 at the break and they would lead by 5 at the end of the third.

Exira-EHK opened up the final period with a three from Macy Emgarten and got another bucket the next possession to tie the game up at 45. The game would tie back up again at 50 before three more lead changes put the Spartans on top at the end. Sophomore Tatum Grubbs went to the line three straight trips as the Cougars tried to extend the game. She made one out of two free throws the first two trips. Then on the third with the Spartans up one she sank both to give Exira-EHK a three point lead with about 16 seconds left. The Cougars never got a good look at a shot on the final possession and the Spartans held on for the win.

The Spartans were led by 23 points from Tatum Grubbs and got 13 from Macy Emgarten. The Spartans improve to 14-5 with the win and will next travel to Boyer Valley on Friday.

CAM was led by 24 points from Madison Gettler. The 6th rated Cougars fall to 14-2 and will travel to Woodbine on Tuesday.
