ESTHERVILLE — Jaelynn Dreckman scored six overtime points after Annie Ellis sent the game into overtime with a pair of free throws with 5.6 seconds to play in regulation as No. 10 (4A) Le Mars avoided an upset at the hands of Estherville/Lincoln Central, 64-59 Monday night in Lakes Conference basketball action in Estherville. Ellis was fouled behind the three-point line, sending her to the free throw stripe with her team trailing 56-54. She made the first but missed the second attempt before tying the game with her third attempt. Le Mars outscored E-L-C 8-3 in the overtime period with Jaelynn Dreckman hitting a field goal and all four of her foul shots to lead the Lady Bulldogs to victory. Madison Dreckman also added a pair of free throws in O.T. Ellis finished with a career-high 19 points Monday, scoring 11 in the fourth quarter to rally Le Mars from a 13-point third quarter deficit. Madison Dreckman finished with 16 and Jaelynn dropped in 15. Josie Condon had 22 for the Midgettes. Le Mars has won six in a row, improving to 12-3 for the season and 8-1 in the Lakes Conference to move 1/2 game ahead of Cherokee in the league standings.
The Le Mars boys ran their winning streak to a season-best four straight with a 68-55 victory in Estherville Monday night. It marked the 36th straight win over the Midgets, dating back to the 2000-2001 season. The Bulldogs have improved their season record to 7-7 with a 7-2 Lakes Conference mark.

NEW YORK (AP) – Former New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera has become the first unanimous selection to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Rivera set a major league record with 652 career saves while recording a 2.21 ERA during a 19-year career spent entirely with the Yankees. Joining Rivera among the Class of 2019 are Roy Halladay, Mike Mussina and Edgar Martinez, while Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens failed to receive the required 75 percent of the vote.
ATLANTA (AP) – All-Star outfielder Nick Markakis has accepted a significant pay cut to remain with the Atlanta Braves, accepting a one-year, $6 million package with a club option for 2020. The 35-year-old Markakis made the 2018 All-Star game and earned both Gold Glove and Silver Slugger honors last season, hitting .297 with 14 homers and 93 RBIs while starting all 162 games in right field. He took a package with a $4 million salary this season and a $2 million buyout after receiving only minor interest on the open market.

HAWARDEN — The Gehlen Catholic girls basketball team staged what may have been their greatest fourth quarter comeback in the history of the program Tuesday night at Hawarden. Unfortunately, it didn’t result in a victory against West Sioux as the Falcons held on to win 62-56 in a non-conference match-up between the two War Eagle rivals. The Lady Jays trailed 51-31 after three quarters before rallying to within three points at 55-52 with 2:10 to play in the game. Gehlen opened the final quarter on a 12-0 run to close the gap to eight with 5:25 to play. The Lady Jays outscored the Falcons 25-11 in the fourth quarter before Shayden Blankenship sealed the outcome with three foul shots in the closing 30 seconds. Blankenship finished with 20 points to lead all scorers. Addison Weber had 16 for Gehlen, 11 coming in the final quarter. The Lady Jays fall to 11-5 while West Sioux improves to 13-3.
The No. 4 (2A) West Sioux boys left little doubt early on who the better team was on this night as the Falcons led by 16 after the first quarter and by 25 at halftime and went on to win 87-64 Tuesday night in Hawarden. The victory keeps the Falcons record perfect at 15-0. Hunter Dekkers was unstoppable, hitting five three’s as part of a 36-point night. Baxter Walsh was a perfect compliment to Dekkers, scoring 29 and he too poured in five three-pointers. Gehlen was led by Jacob Nemmers with 19 points, Caden Kneip had 15 and Zach Kraft 10. The Jays falls to 11-4.

LE MARS — What a day of high school basketball at the Bulldogs Competition gym Saturday! The tenth-rated (4A) Le Mars girls beat Sioux City East 66-60 in double overtime and then number-three (4A) Sioux City East edged the Le Mars boys 78-73 in a nail-biter.
Kennedy McCloy sunk a three-point shot from just beyond half-court at the end of regulation in the girls game to knot the score at 53-all, sending the contest into overtime. They were still tied at 56-56 after one overtime before Madison Dreckman made a four-point play in the second overtime to erase a 58-57 East lead and put the Lady Bulldogs in front to stay. Dreckman’s field goal with 2:30 to play in the second overtime put Le Mars in front 59-58 and a technical foul on East coach Brian Drent allowed Dreckman to add a pair of foul shots to extend the lead to 61-58. From there Le Mars outscored East 5-2 to win by six. The win was the eighth straight for the Lady Bulldogs and improved their record to 14-3. Madison Dreckman had 27 points to lead the Lady Bulldogs scoring with Jaelynn Dreckman adding 14 and Annie Ellis 11. Nyamer Diew had 28 for the Black Raiders, who slipped to 9-7 for the season.
The boys game was a back-and-forth shootout all afternoon. East led 18-15 after the first quarter, Le Mars led 36-35 at halftime and 49-48 after three quarters. The two teams were tied 68-68 with 66 seconds to play when Javonte Keck hit a drive-in bucket down the lane to put East in front 70-68 and they would never trail again. Jack Peterson added a pair of free throws and Aidan Vanderloo hit all six free throw attempts in the final 29 seconds to ice the victory. Spencer Mackey’s tip-in with 1.8 seconds to play gave the Bulldogs a glimmer of hope as Le Mars trailed 76-73 but Vanderloo’s two free throws with .9 of a second to play put the game out of reach. Mackey had a career-best 27 points, hitting six three-pointers for Le Mars while Alex Irwin dropped in 21 for the Dogs and Aisea Toki had 13 points and 13 rebounds. Jaleque Dunson had 26 points for East and Vanderloo finished with 19. The two combined to hit 9 three-pointers for the Black Raiders, who connected on 10-of-13 from behind the arch as a team. East shot 60% for the game, while rebounding from their first loss of the season Friday to Sergeant Bluff-Luton to improve to 13-1. The loss drops Le Mars to 8-8 and ends their five-game winning streak. The Bulldogs host Spirit Lake Tuesday.

Pro Bowl game — A-F-C All-Stars 26, N-F-C All-Stars 7
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The Pro Bowl has long been considered a laughable representation of the NFL game. It reached a new level of comedy Sunday as several players swapped positions during the annual all-star game. Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey caught a touchdown pass in the final minute, capping a dominant performance for the A-F-C defense in a 26-7 victory over the N-F-C in steady rain. It was the third consecutive victory for the A-F-C, all of them at Camping World Stadium. It was two-hand touch most of the day, with officials blowing plays dead at the slightest hint of contact. Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes earn the offensive Most Valuable Player award and New York Jets safety, Jamal Adams, was named the defensive M-V-P.
ATLANTA (AP) — Tom Brady and the New England Patriots have arrived. So have Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams. Now it’s time for them to get to work. The teams landed in Atlanta on Sunday and will practice this week before squaring off in Super Bowl 53 next Sunday. It’s New England’s third straight Super Bowl trip and fourth in five years — and the ninth overall in the Brady-Bill Belichick era. The Patriots, who beat the then-St. Louis Rams for their first title after the 2001 season, are looking to hoist the Lombardi Trophy for the sixth time, which would tie the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most in the Super Bowl era. The N-F-C champion Rams are back in the city where they won their only Super Bowl title in the 1999 season, when they beat Tennessee.
