CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — A Chicago Bears defensive back has pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors stemming from a fracas at a bar in northeast Iowa. Deiondre’ Hall and Green Bay Packers defensive back Makinton Dorleant were arrested March 26 last year outside Sharkey’s Funhouse in Cedar Falls.

Court records say Hall entered written pleas Feb. 9 to charges of disorderly conduct and public intoxication. He was sentenced to six months of probation on a deferred judgment. That will allow his conviction to be removed from court records if he successfully completes the terms of his probation.

The records say the Dorleant was given a year of probation and granted a deferred judgment at his sentencing last May on the same charges. The Packers cut him in April after he failed a physical.
Both men played college football in Cedar Falls at Northern Iowa.

The CAM Cougars and Exira-EHK Spartans boys basketball teams will be fighting for spots in the Class 1A District 14 Final with Semifinal games tonight at St. Albert High School in Council Bluffs.

The Cougars will face the Stanton Vikings in the first game of the night at 6:30pm. The Cougars won their opening round game over East Mills 62-41. Stanton was a first round winner over Griswold 66-34. The two teams did not meet during the regular season. The Cougars come in with a record of 16-5 while the Vikings are 20-1.

The second game of the night will have host St. Albert squaring off against Exira-EHK. The Falcons cruised in their first round game over Riverside 90-28. Exira-EHK won a back and forth battle over Fremont-Mills in the first round 64-57. The teams also did not meet in the regular season. St. Albert is 12-9 and Exira-EHK is 15-7.

We’ll have coverage of both games tonight on KJAN. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call with pregame coverage starting at 6:20pm before the CAM game. Tune in on-air, online, or on the mobile app.

Exira/EHK will make it’s fourth straight trip to the girl’s Class 1-A state tournament after an impressive 66-41 win over Boyer Valley in a regional final in Avoca Monday night.

After falling behind 15-12 after the first quarter, the Spartans turned things around quickly, starting the second quarter with an 11-0 run, giving them a lead they would never surrender. Senior Sophia Peppers, who led her team with 24 points, said her team was different after that first quarter.

The Spartans were able to build the lead to as large as 63-36 in the fourth quarter as their aggressive defense continually frustrated the Bulldogs. Exira/EHK coach Tom Petersen said the goal was not to allow Boyer Valley leading scorer Erin Weber to take a shot. They were mostly successful, as she was held scoreless.

Seniors Sophia Peppers and Kealey Nelson have made it to state all four years. Nelson, who scored 14 points, says it’s due to hard work.

The Spartans improve to 23-1. Due to a few postponements, Exira/EHK will have to wait to find out who they will face in the first round in Des Moines.

The Atlantic Trojans started a bit sluggish on Monday night but were able to dial in as the game moved along and pick up a Class 3A District Semifinal win over Denison-Schleswig 68-51 in Glenwood. The Trojans found themselves behind for a large portion of the first quarter but Logan Reilly stepped up in a huge way with 8 early points to help force a 17-all tie after one quarter. Reilly had 13 by the end of the first half and 16 for the game. Atlantic Head Coach Alan Jenkins said they knew he could be an effective part of the game plan.

Austin Alexander caught fire from outside in the third quarter, dropping in three triples in the period. Alexander led all scorers with 25 points on the night and after the game he said the team settled in to their game in the second quarter.

Grant Podhajsky also had a nice night with 8 points and 13 rebounds. Coach Jenkins said he likes the balance and output he has seen from his team down the stretch run.

Atlantic improves to 14-8 with the win and they will now face Glenwood in the District Final on Thursday night at 7:00pm. The Rams were 92-36 winners over ADM in the nightcap on Monday night. The Trojans and Rams split during the regular season with each winning on their home floor. We’ll have coverage of the game on Thursday night on KJAN with pregame at 6:50pm.

Denison was led by 13 points from Charlie Wiebers and 12 from Goanar Biliew. The Monarchs season ends with a 9-13 record.

The Exira-EHK Spartans will take on the Boyer Valley Bulldogs tonight in Avoca with a trip to the State Tournament on the line. The two squads will meet in the Class 1A Region 7 Final at AHSTW High School at 6:00pm. The game time was moved up an hour with the anticipation of more freezing rain affecting the area again tonight.

This will be the rubber-match with both teams winning at home in the regular season battles. Boyer Valley won 47-46 on January 2nd in Dunlap. Ella Meyer and Cathryn Klein had 11 points each in that Bulldog win. The Spartans were able to avenge that loss a month later with a 67-43 win on February 2nd. Sophia Peppers had 21 points and Kealey Nelson dropped in 17 in that second meeting.

After the Spartans picked up the semifinal win on Friday night over CAM, Exira-EHK Head Coach Tom Petersen was asked about the prospects of facing Boyer Valley again. “We know it’s going to be tough. It’s gonna be a fight for 32 minutes. It’s going to take all 13 of us including coaches to be on the same page to get the win.”

The Spartans will be trying to get back to the State Tournament after reaching the Semifinals and falling in overtime to Turkey Valley last season.

We’ll have coverage tonight on KJAN. Our game coverage will start on KJANTV with an audio only broadcast. We will then join the game on the air at the conclusion of the Class 3A Boys game between Atlantic and Denison-Schleswig that starts at 5:30pm.
