SPENCER — Senior Brooke Haage connected on a three-point shot from above the free throw circle to lift Le Mars to a two-point lead with 72 seconds to play and then made a steal in the closing seconds to secure a 48-46 opening night victory at Spencer Monday night. Allison Piercy had just given Spencer a 46-45 lead with a three-pointer with about a minute-and-a-half to go before Haage hit a rare three, giving her 5 points for the night. Haage’s shot completed a comeback from a 34-20 deficit midway through the third quarter. Le Mars took their first lead of the game with 3:02 to play on Jaelynn Dreckman’s bank shot. Shaniah Temple led a balanced Le Mars scoring attack with 14 points while Jaelynn Dreckmann scored 12, including her first career three-pointer, and Kylie Dreckman added 11 after getting shutout in the first half.

UNDATED (AP) – The NCAA has denied an appeal by Memphis to have the suspension of center James Wiseman reduced from 12 games. The heralded freshman won’t be able to play again for the 16th-ranked Tigers until Jan. 12 at South Florida. The penalty surrounds the $11,500 that Memphis coach Penny Hardaway gave Wiseman’s family for moving expenses from Nashville to Memphis in the summer of 2017.
ENGLEWOOD, Col. (AP) – The Denver Broncos are upping quarterback Drew Lock’s snaps at practice in preparation for his possible debut Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Vic Fangio said Wednesday that the second-round pick from Missouri who has been on IR all season will take 75% of the snaps with Brandon Allen taking the rest. The Broncos turned to Allen when Joe Flacco went on IR at midseason.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The Tennessee Titans have placed three-time Pro Bowl tight end Delanie Walker on injured reserve for a second straight season. Walker had missed the past four games and played only five snaps Oct. 20 in a win over the Chargers after aggravating the right ankle he broke in the 2018 season opener. He had 21 catches for 215 yards and two touchdowns in seven games.
UNDATED (AP) – The Pittsburgh Pirates have confirmed the hiring of Derek Shelton as their new manager. Shelton replaces Clint Hurdle, who was fired on the final day of the season following a second-half collapse that dropped the Pirates to a last-place finish in the NL Central.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — It was cold and damp, Iowa had the ball at its 26 with 32 seconds left in regulation in a tie game, and the Hawkeyes’ offense hadn’t done much since the first quarter. Instead of being content to play for overtime against border rival Nebraska, coach Kirk Ferentz went for the win Friday. The Hawkeyes got it when Keith Duncan kicked a 48-yard field goal with one second left, giving No. 19 Iowa a 27-24 victory over Nebraska that leaves the Cornhuskers out of the postseason for a third consecutive season. The Hawkeyes (9-3, 6-3 Big Ten) beat the Huskers (5-7, 3-6) for a fifth straight year and second year in a row on a late field goal. Duncan, who walked on to Iowa in 2016, had more to celebrate than just helping the Hawkeyes hold onto the Heroes Game trophy for at least another year. Ferentz announced after the game that he was giving Duncan a scholarship.
