LE MARS — Freshman Taylor Harpenau scored 25 points, six coming in overtime, as MMCRU avenged two regular season losses to Gehlen Catholic with a 65-60 win over the Lady Jays Wednesday night at the Deb Campbell gym. The Royals fell behind by 15 points just before halftime, before rallying in the second half to send the game into overtime, tied 55-55. MMCRU outscored Gehlen 10-5 in the extra four-minute period. Harpenau connected on two three-pointers and was 9-13 from the free throw line. Free throw shooting proved to be factor in the outcome as Gehlen hit just 9-of-21 foul shots while MMCRU was 15-for-26. Emily Dreckman followed Harpenau’s 25 points with 15 and Ellie Hilbrands had 13 for the Royals. Sydney Livermore led Gehlen with 20, Addison Weber had 18 and freshman Lauren Heying had a career-best 15. Gehlen’s season ends at 14-8 while MMCRU moves on to the Regional semifinals with a 17-5 record. The Royals play at No. 10 Kingsley-Pierson (21-1) Friday night at 7 p.m.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Joe Gibbs Racing was able to complete a sweep of the top three spots in the Daytona 500, one month after co-founder J.D. Gibbs died following a long battle with a degenerative neurological disease. Denny Hamlin moved out front after a final restart and had teammate Kyle Busch blocking in the final lap to win the race for the second time in four starts. Erik Jones finished third, while reigning NASCAR champion Joey Logano ended up fourth.
UNDATED (AP) — Major League pitchers generally will have 20 seconds to deliver to the plate when teams play exhibition games in Arizona and Florida beginning this week. The intention is to get players and umpires accustomed to the clock in the event MLB makes the rule change for the upcoming regular season. Owners have the right to implement one this year without consent, but Commissioner Rob Manfred has been reluctant to initiate on-field modifications without agreement from players and their union head, Tony Clark.
