FRIDAY RESULTS – January 18
(high school basketball)
LE MARS — No. 10 (4A) Le Mars connected on 12-of-18 fourth quarter foul shots to hold off a late charge by No. 4 (2A) Cherokee and the Lady Bulldogs handed the Bravettes their first loss of the season, 71-62 Friday night in Lakes Conference basketball action at the Bulldogs Competition gym. Le Mars never trailed after building a 21-11 lead in the first quarter. The Bulldogs went up by 14 midway through the third quarter before Cherokee closed to within 3 with 3:41 to play. That’s when the Lady Bulldogs paraded to the foul line to close out the victory and avenge a five-point loss at Cherokee in early December. Junior Jaelynn Dreckman had a career-high 25 points to lead the Lady Bulldogs in scoring with Madison Dreckman adding 19, hitting all six foul shot attempts in the fourth quarter and finishing 9-of-10 from the charity stripe for the game. Le Mars hit 21-of-30 as a team from the line. Sophomore JaMae Nichols led Cherokee (15-1) with 20 points, Payton Slaughter had 15 and Kassidy Pingel 14. Le Mars improves to 11-3 while stretching their winning streak to five straight. Le Mars and Cherokee are deadlocked for the league lead at 7-1 with four conference games to play.
In the boys game, Alex Irwin had a career high 32 points and Aisea Toki dropped in a career-best 19 points as Le Mars rolled to an 88-58 rout of Cherokee Friday night. The victory marked the 300th in the coaching career of Bulldog head coach Dave Irwin, spanning stints at Sioux City North as the girls coach and later as the Cherokee boys coach before taking over the Le Mars program 17 years ago. The Bulldogs built a 19-point halftime lead on the way to scoring a season-best 88 points. Spencer Mackey added 14 points to the Bulldog cause as Le Mars improves to 6-7 for the season and 6-2 in the Lakes Conference. Cherokee was paced by Ryan Hurd’s 12 points. Le Mars travels to Estherville Monday for a Lakes Conference doubleheader.

(N-F-L football playoffs)
AFC championship game: New England 37, Kansas City 31, OT
NFC championship game: L.A. Rams 26, New Orleans 23, OT
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The New England Patriots are headed to their third straight Super Bowl, once more thanks to Tom Brady’s brilliance. The five-time NFL champion guided the Patriots 75 yards after winning the overtime coin toss, and backup Rex Burkhead’s 2-yard TD lifted New England past Kansas City 37-31 for the AFC championship Sunday night. The drive against an exhausted defense was reminiscent of when the Patriots beat Atlanta in the only Super Bowl to go to OT two years ago. New England (13-5) benefited from two critical replay reviews and made its ninth Super Bowl with Brady at quarterback and Bill Belichick as coach. It’s the first time both conference title games went to OT.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Greg Zuerlein kicked a 57-yard field goal in overtime to send the Los Angeles Rams to the Super Bowl with a 26-23 victory over the New Orleans Saints in the NFC championship game Sunday. The stunning finish came after New Orleans got the ball first in the extra period. Under pressure, Drew Brees fluttered up a pass that was picked off by John Johnson III, who was able to hang on to the interception while falling onto his back. The Rams weren’t able to do much offensively, but it didn’t matter. Zuerlein, who had already delivered a tying 48-yard kick with 15 seconds left in regulation, booted through the winning field goal with plenty of room to spare.

They hit 12 of their first 14 3-point attempts and 15 overall to blow past the young but talented Fighting Illini.
