Le Mars (3-1) 44, Sioux City North 36

SIOUX CITY — Eric Spieler’s interception at the goal line with 1:01 to play turned back a late scoring threat by Sioux City North and the Le Mars Bulldogs held on for a 44-36 win at Elwood Olson Stadium Thursday night.  The game was the final non-district game for both schools before district play begins next Friday.  The game featured five lead changes and 896 yards of offense.  North rolled up 543 yards of total offense but 11 penalties for 89 yards stymied their chances to win and the Stars suffered their third straight loss to fall to 1-and-3.  Ben Wadle 25-yard TD-pass catch was his second of the night from Tate Westhoff and it put the Dogs in front to stay at 37-33 with 9:24 to play in the game.  After Merlin Soller’s 43-yard field goal closed the gap to 37-36 with 7:12 left, Le Mars put together a 10-play, 66-yard drive that Josh Williams capped with a 15 yard touchdown run with 3:54 remaining.  North drove down into the red zone as time was running out but a slant pass attempt to Devonta Cobbs went to Spieler instead to end the last hopes for North.  Aisea Toki caught a 48-yard TD-pass from Tate Westhoff and Jakob Bixenman ran for a pair of touchdowns on sprints of 18 and 23 yards.  Cobbs caught three TD-passes for North of 88, 84 and 16 yards and finished with ten catches for 305 yards.  Trenton Frerichs was on the receiving end of an 13 yard TD strike for the Stars.  Wadle added a field goal for the Bulldogs, who improve to 3-and-1 with their third straight victory.  Le Mars celebrates homecoming next Friday night with their district opener against Storm Lake.

He set the tone with scoring receptions of four, 28 and seven yards on consecutive possessions.  Andy Dalton threw all four of his scoring strikes in the first half and finished 24 of 42 for 265 yards.

LE MARS — The No. 5-rated (1A) West Sioux Falcons scored on their first six possessions Friday night to build a 41-0 lead by halftime and went on to rout Gehlen Catholic 61-0 in the final tune-up before district football starts next week for both schools.  Hunter Dekkers threw three touchdown passes each to Chase Koopmans and Kade Lynott.  Koopmans caught his three TD-passes in the first quarter as West Sioux built a 34-0 lead.  Lynott caught two passes in the first quarter and added another in the second period.  The Falcon regulars retired by mid-third quarter.  Victor Hernandez returned a blocked punt 20 yards for a third quarter touchdown and Cory Van Ordt and Antwon Mora added TD’s for the reserves.  West Sioux had a 420-69 yardage advantage on Gehlen.  The Jays fall to 0-and-4 heading into their district opener next Friday at MMCRU.  West Sioux improves to 3-and-1.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Kyler Murray threw for 348 yards and three touchdowns and No. 5 Oklahoma held off Iowa State 37-27 on Saturday in the Big 12 opener for both teams.  Iowa State didn’t make it easy for the Sooners, rallying from a 14-point deficit to make it 34-27 late in the third quarter. But the Sooners killed nearly eight minutes on a drive that ended with a 42-yard field goal 2:51 left, and then an interception with 1:11 to go sealed it.  Backup quarterback Zeb Noland threw for a career-high 360 yards and a pair of long touchdown passes for the Cyclones, who were without starting quarterback Kyle Kempt due to a knee injury.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa dominated Northern Iowa on Saturday night at Kinnick Stadium, winning 38-14 to go to 3-0 heading into their Big 10 opener next Saturday against Wisconsin.  The Hawkeyes defense held the Panthers (0-2) to six yards rushing and 228 total yards.  Nate Stanley threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns on 23-of-28 passing for Iowa. Nick Easley had 10 catches for 103 yards and one touchdown and Mekhi Sargent ran for two touchdowns for the Hawkeyes.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Troy took the money and won — again.  The Trojans of the Sun Belt Conference stunned Nebraska 24-19 on Saturday, denying Scott Frost his first win as the Cornhuskers’ coach, and earned a $1.15 million guarantee in the process.  A year ago, the Trojans beat then-No. 25 LSU on the road.  For Nebraska (0-2), the frustrating start to the Frost era continued. The Huskers (0-2) have lost their first two games for the first time since 1957 and have dropped six straight home games since beating Rutgers Sept. 23, 2017.
