LE MARS — Gehlen Catholic’s guys and gals both returned to the win column Thursday night to halt two-game losing streaks, as the Gehlen girls beat Trinity Christian 42-26 and Gehlen boys held off the Trinity Christian boys 57-47 in a War Eagle Conference make-up doubleheader from January 18th. The Lady Jays never trailed after scoring the first seven points of the game and led by as many as 19 in the second half before settling on a 16-point victory over the Tigers. Junior Addison Weber relinquished her starting spot to a senior-led line-up for Brandon Schaecher Thursday but came off the bench to score 20 points, connecting on four three-pointers. Gehlen improves to 12-6 for the season and 6-3 in the W-E-C.
The Gehlen boys used an 18-5 third quarter run to extend a 25-21 lead to a 17-point cushion as the Jays ran their record to 12-5 for the season and 5-4 in the War Eagle Conference with a 10-point victory over the Tigers. Caden Kneip led the Jays scoring attack with 18 points while Jacob Nemmers added 12. Torrey Heynen had 14 off the bench for Trinity Christian.
LE MARS — Senior Madison Dreckman made a school-record eight three-pointers Thursday night and finished with 28 points to lead No. 9 (4A) Le Mars to a 67-27 romp over visiting Spirit Lake in a make-up Lakes Conference game that was postponed Tuesday by the frigid weather. The win was the ninth straight for the Lady Bulldogs as they improve to 13-3 for the year and 10-1 in the Lakes Conference. Le Mars remains tied with Cherokee for the league lead with one game remaining. Kylie Dreckman finished with a career-best 13 points while Annie Ellis had 11. They both hit three treys, giving Le Mars 14 three’s for the night.
The Le Mars boys rebounded from the East loss last Saturday by beating Spirit Lake 56-45 Thursday night at the Bulldogs Competition gym. Spencer Mackey led a balanced scoring attack with 15 points while Alex Irwin and Alec Dreckman finished with 12 points each. The victory avenged a four-point loss at Spirit Lake back in December. Le Mars improves to 9-8 for the season and 9-2 in the Lakes Conference. The Dogs have won six of the last seven games.

ATLANTA (AP) — For towering tight end Tony Gonzalez, this was a slam dunk. The 6-foot-5 Gonzalez, who turned the celebratory post-TD dunk over the crossbar into an art form, was voted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday. Joining him will be two more first-time nominees, Champ Bailey and Ed Reed, along with another defensive back, Ty Law, and center Kevin Mawae; Law and Mawae were both in their third year as finalists.
ATLANTA (AP) — Patrick Mahomes’ breathtaking breakthrough season earned him the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback landed a pair of honors at N-F-L Honors on Saturday night, taking The Associated Press 2018 M-V-P and Offensive Player of the Year awards. In his second pro season, Mahomes led Kansas City to its first A-F-C title game since 1993 with some of the most creative and clutch plays the league has seen in years. Mahomes received 41 votes from a nationwide panel of media members who regularly cover the league. New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees got the other nine.

SUPER BOWL LIII at Atlanta, Ga.
New England Patriots 13, Los Angeles Rams 3
ATLANTA (AP) — Defenses dominated what was supposed to be a super shootout, until Tom Brady led one classic drive to win the New England Patriots their record-tying sixth Super Bowl. Brady threw two perfect passes to Rob Gronkowski to set up rookie Sony Michel’s 2-yard score — the only touchdown in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever. That put New England up 10-3. A late field goal clinched the game 13-3. With 4:17 left, Stephon Gilmore picked off an ill-advised pass by Rams quarterback Jared Goff, who seemed overwhelmed by the big stage all night, at the New England 2. Stephen Gostkowski made a 41-yard field goal with 1:12 remaining, completing a 72-yard march that took more than three minutes off the clock and included 26-yard runs by Michel and Rex Burkhead.
