November 20th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Kansas City-area prep point guard Clayton Custer says he plans to play for Iowa State. Custer is 6-foot-1 and hails from Overland Park, Kan. He was a first-team, Class 6A all-state pick as a sophomore for Blue Valley Northwest High last year and has two years of high school ball remaining.

Custer averaged 19 points and eight assists a game. He cited his relationships with coach Fred Hoiberg, assistant T.J. Otzelberger and the Cyclones players as critical in giving his verbal commitment to Iowa State. Custer is Iowa State’s first recruit in the class of 2014. He picked Iowa State over Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and others.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — An Omaha man who helped rescue a truck driver and an eastern Iowa couple who trains dogs for public service will be honored at Friday’s football game between Iowa and Nebraska. Iowa and Nebraska branded their now-annual rivalry as the “Heroes Game” after Nebraska joined the Big Ten Conference. The tradition, now in its second year, involves selecting “citizen heroes” from each state.

The Nebraskan who will be honored is Jason Parks, who witnessed a collision between two semitrailers while driving to work. He’s credited with pulling one of the drivers from flaming wreckage before the truck exploded. The Iowans are Lois and Bill Hall of Clinton, who raise and train K-9 dogs that assist in emergency search and rescue missions and provide therapy visits to schools and hospitals.

Chiefs waiting to hit bottom during 7-game skid

November 19th, 2012 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel laid out for his team Monday exactly what it will take to end their seven-game losing streak. He then questioned whether the answer is even possible. He says his team has to fight, and has to be perfect. Then he said he knows no one is ever perfect. The Chiefs’ 28-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday dropped them to 1-9, their lone victory requiring a franchise-record 18-point comeback at New Orleans.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State spent nearly all season rotating two quarterbacks. The Cyclones finally gave option No. 3 a chance last weekend and third-stringer Sam Richardson responded with a brilliant night at Kansas. Richardson, a redshirt freshman, completed 23 of 27 passes for 250 yards and four touchdowns as Iowa State (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) beat Kansas 51-23.

Richardson got his chance after starter Steele Jantz suffered a head injury in the first quarter. Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads won’t announce whether Jantz or Richardson will start the regular-season finale Friday against West Virginia (5-5, 2-5), but he did acknowledge Monday that Richardson has the edge for job.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Andy Dalton threw for 230 yards and accounted for three touchdowns, A.J. Green caught a touchdown pass in his ninth straight game and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the woeful Kansas City Chiefs 28-6 on Sunday.  Green finished with six catches for 91 yards in another dazzling performance, Mohamed Sanu had a scoring grab and BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 101 yards and a touchdown as the Bengals (5-5) won their second straight following a maddening four-game losing streak.

Cincinnati now plays its next four games against teams with losing records.  None of them are as bad as the Chiefs.  Jamaal Charles had 87 yards rushing for Kansas City (1-9), but that was the only highlight for a team that lost its seventh straight amid a gloomy crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.
