The Atlantic/CAM Wrestling team will host their 2016 Hall of Fame Banquet on Friday, November 18th at the Atlantic High School and two former coaches are set to be honored.
Former Anita and CAM Head Wrestling Coach Rex Mehrhoff will be inducted along with former Atlantic Assistant Coach and Little Trojan Coach Kipp Harris.
Mehrhoff was named Head Wrestling Coach at Anita in 1985 just a year after starting as an Assistant with the program and teacher in the district. He stayed on as coach with the merger of the CAM school district in 1989. Coach Mehrhoff coached all the way up to a recent retirement from the Atlantic/CAM staff after the programs combined. During his career he helped 17 wrestlers make appearances at the state tournament and earned 13 medals. His 1992 squad finished third overall as a team. His teams also made three regional dual appearances.
Harris was a Trojan wrestler himself before moving on to a collegiate career and then coaching. He was a sixth place medal winner his senior season in Atlantic and went on to wrestle and play football at Waldorf College. He was hired as an Assistant Wrestling Coach in 1990 and coached from then until 2009. He helped coach 45 state qualifiers and 15 place winners during his tenure. He also helped the Little Trojan Wrestling Program and organized their first ever home tournament. Harris is now one of the owners of Brocker-Karns and Karns Insurance.
The induction banquet at the Atlantic High School begins at 6:00pm and tickets will be on sale at the door.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Jeremy Morgan scored 20 points and Spencer Haldeman came off the bench to add 17 points as Northern Iowa stunned Arizona State, 82-63, during Thursday’s opening round of the Tire Pros Invitational. The Sun Devils had averaged 92 points in their first two games, facing their best defensive opponent proved to be problematic.
NIU gave ASU few uncontested shots while benefiting from several open perimeter shots on the other end. Spencer and Haldeman combined to covert nine 3-pointers during the game, while Bennett Koch had his way in the paint with 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting and Klint Carlson came on late to finish with 19 points.
For the game, NIU (2-0) shot 51 percent from the field and 43 percent from 3-point range compared to 42 percent from the field and 36 percent on 3-pointers by the Sun Devils (2-1). Torian Graham and Tra Holder led ASU with 19 and 13 points, respectively.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Austin Svoboda scored four touchdowns, the defense forced seven turnovers and Gilbertville Don Bosco beat Harris-Lake Park 48-21 on Thursday to win the eight-player state championship. Svoboda broke loose on TD runs of 66, 47 and 38 yards to highlight his big day, which he finished with 180 yards in 15 carries. Austin Hellman added a 62-yard touchdown run for the Dons (12-1), who appeared in their fourth title game since 2012 and won their second championship.
Harris-Lake Park (12-1) trailed just 24-21 after Bryce Perkins’ 9-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Jordan early in the third quarter, then was undone by three fumbles and three interceptions. Brock Tome returned the last interception 34 yards for the game’s final touchdown. Perkins set championship game records for completions and attempts.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Hunter Lott passed for one touchdown, ran for another and made a key defensive stop late in the game, leading Gladbrook-Reinbeck past Algona Bishop Garrigan 20-19 Thursday for its second straight Class A state championship. Gladbrook-Reinbeck (13-0) rallied from a 13-0 deficit to win its 23rd straight game and become just the fourth school to repeat in the smallest of the 11-player classes.
Lott floated a perfectly thrown pass to Matt Johannsen for a 24-yard touchdown with 6:29 left to put the Rebels ahead, then helped secure the victory when he raced up from his defensive back position to stop Garrigan’s Grant Arndorfer short of a first down on fourth-and-2 near midfield.
The Rebels ran out the final 2:44, helped by Lott’s 27-yard pass to Erik Knaack on a fourth-and-8 play. Garrigan (12-1) took a 19-14 lead Brad Capesius’ 9-yard TD pass to Joel Vaaske with 9:56 remaining, but couldn’t hold on.
The Northern Iowa basketball team is in Orlando for today’s start of the Tire Pros Invitational. The Panthers open this afternoon against an Arizona State team that is 2-0 with wins over Portland State and Cal Poly. Tip-time is 3:30.
That’s UNI coach Ben Jacobson. Former Duke standout Bobby Hurley is the coach for Arizona State.
Jacobson calls the Panthers a work in progress on the offensive end.
UNI opened with a convincing win over Coe but Jacobson says he will find out a lot more about his team this weekend.
The winner plays the winner of the game between Oklahoma and Tulane on Friday night.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston could make his season debut this weekend against Tampa Bay. Coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that the four-time Pro Bowler is “heading in that direction,” but he also warned that there is no hurry to get Houston onto the field. Houston had surgery to repair the ACL in his left knee in February.
The Chiefs were without several players at practice Wednesday. Middle linebacker Derrick Johnson is dealing with spasms in his hamstring, cornerback Marcus Peters has a hip pointer, defensive tackle Jaye Howard has a hip flexor, defensive tackle Dontari Poe has swelling in his knee and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin still has a groin strain. Reid was not sure which will be available against the Buccaneers.
Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week the NFL announced this morning.
Berry had nine tackles (7 solo), two passes defensed, one tackle for loss and one interception returned for a touchdown in the Chiefs’ 20-17 win over the Carolina Panthers. Berry’s pick-six brought the Chiefs within three points in a game that they were down as many as 17.
The interception was Berry’s second of the season and the 12th of his career. It was his fourth career interception return for a touchdown.

AMES, Iowa – The senior duo of Jadda Buckley and Seanna Johnson guided Iowa State to a 76-68 victory over UNI Tuesday night at Hilton Coliseum. The win moves the Cyclones to 2-0 on the season, while the Panthers suffered their first loss to drop to 1-1 on the campaign.
Buckley led all scorers with 25 points, her fourth career game over 20 points, while Johnson posted 15 points and a career-best 18 rebounds. Bridget Carleton joined the duo in double figures with 14.
