ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Lions have released defensive tackle Damon “Snacks” Harrison. The Lions announced the move Tuesday, less than a year after signing him to an $11 million, one-year contract extension. He went into the 2019 season with two years years left on the $46 million contract he signed with the New York Giants. Harrison started in 15 games last season, but had a career-low 49 tackles and two sacks for the three-win Lions.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska appears poised to allow college athletes to sign endorsement deals with sneaker companies, car dealerships and other sponsors after a measure cleared a major legislative hurdle. The measure advanced through the first of three required votes on Tuesday. It had bipartisan support in the officially nonpartisan Legislature. California last year became the first state to let college athletes use their status to make money. Other states are considering similar measures, though the NCAA has take steps to address it on a national level. The moves follow criticism that universities and athletic sponsors are getting rich off athletes who don’t get a share of the wealth.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For a majority of Democratic voters, going back to the days before Donald Trump isn’t good enough. In Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada, the first three states to weigh in, voters have elevated the candidate promising the biggest departure from the politics of the past — not necessarily the clearest path to defeating President Donald Trump or a restoration of the Obama era. After fighting to a draw in Iowa, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who bills himself as the leader of a revolution, bested candidates in New Hampshire and Nevada promising a restoration of the pre-Trump era and those who focus mainly on their electability.

The CAM Cougars boys basketball team started each half strong and beat Stanton 65-51 in at Class 1A District 14 Semifinal on Tuesday night in Anita. The Cougars opened up the game with a 10-3 lead and stayed in front the entire night. The Cougars got a near half-court three from Lane Spieker before the halftime buzzer to lead 37-27 at the break. CAM used that momentum to rip off an 11-0 run to start the second half and pull away from the Vikings. Stanton trimmed the lead down to 11 by the end of the third but never got any closer.
CAM Head Coach Nick Hodges said the Cougars executed well on both ends of the floor.
The Cougars got 16 points from Jacob Holste, 15 from Connor McKee, 14 from Ben Tibken, and 11 from Nathan Hensley. The score-book showed another great night of sharing the basketball for the Cougars, which Coach Hodges said is a big strength.
Jacob Holste said he enjoys playing on this team because of their unselfish nature.
The Cougars made Stanton star Tyler Peterson work for all of his 16 points on the night. Holste said slowing him down was a big focus on the defensive end.
The Vikings season finishes with a 19-4 record and they graduate a successful senior class that has been a part of 80 wins in their 4 seasons of play.
CAM improved to 19-4 and advance on to the 1A District 14 final on Thursday night. The Cougars will face Martensdale-St. Marys in that game which will be played at West Central Valley High School in Stuart. We’ll have coverage on KJAN with pregame at 6:45 p.m. and tip-off scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Martensdale advanced with a 63-48 win over Coon Rapids-Bayard on Tuesday.
