The Bedford Bulldogs have decided to join the Audubon Wheelers in the 8-man football ranks.  The Bedford school board voted last night to play 8-man football beginning with the 2016 season. Any school with a Basic Education Data Survey enrollment of 115 or less have the option to play 8-man football if they so choose. Both Bedford and Audubon played Class A football last season and both districts have now made the decision in the off-season to make the switch to 8-man.

The calendar insists it’s almost the middle December – regardless of what the thermometer says – meaning 2015 will soon become 2016 and time to renew hunting and fishing licenses. A 2016 hunting, fishing or combination license is a permission slip for a year’s worth of outdoor enjoyment. 2016 resident hunting and fishing licenses go on sale December 15. It makes an excellent gift for the holidays and one that could be purchased online up to the last minute at www.iowadnr.gov.

The menu of license options includes the popular Outdoor Combo annual resident hunting/fishing/habitat combo license for $47; the Angler’s Special three-year fishing license for $53; and the Hunter’s Special three-year hunting license with habitat included for $86. Also available is the Bonus Line option for $12 allowing resident and nonresident anglers to fish with one additional line in addition to the two lines allowed with the regular fishing license.

Iowa hunting and fishing license fees remain unchanged for 2016. Annual licenses, including those special three year license purchased in 2013, expire on Jan. 10, 2016.

ATLANTA (AP) — Iowa’s Desmond King has won the Jim Thorpe Award for the nation’s best defensive back. The award was presented Thursday night.

King, a junior cornerback, led Iowa with eight interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown, this season. He is the first Iowa player to win the honor. He became the Big Ten’s seventh winner, tying the Southeastern Conference for the lead.

King was selected over Duke’s Jeremy Cash and Florida’s Vernon Hargreaves III. Louisville’s Gerod Holliman won the award last year.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Monte Morris hit a runner with nine seconds left and fourth-ranked Iowa State rallied from a 20-point deficit to stun Iowa 83-82 on Thursday night. Morris and Jameel McKay each had 20 points for the Cyclones (8-0), who scored the game’s final nine points to remain unbeaten.

A 30-11 run brought Iowa State within 82-81 with 21 seconds left. Morris then drove the lane and floated in the go-ahead shot, which the Cyclones made stand with one final defensive stop. Jarrod Uthoff scored 30 of his 32 points in the first half for Iowa (7-3), which has lost seven straight in Ames.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Des Moines Register columnist Randy Peterson suffered what the newspaper says is an apparent broken leg when Iowa State fans stormed the court after a win over Iowa. The fourth-ranked Cyclones rallied from 20 down to beat the in-state rivals 83-82 Thursday night on a winning shot with nine seconds left. Iowa State fans rushed the floor at Hilton Coliseum, and Peterson was injured while heading to the postgame press conference.

Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard told the Register that he believes Peterson suffered a compound leg fracture. Peterson has covered sports in Iowa for the Register for roughly four decades.
