BOONE — The Iowa High School Athletic Association has announced some changes for next season’s football playoffs. The number of teams per class to qualify for the playoffs remains at 16 but the qualification process will change. Only the teams that win their District titles (including all teams tied for first) automatically qualify for the playoffs. The rest of the field will be determined by a Ratings Percentage Index formula that takes the won-loss percentage of each team, their opponents and their opponent’s opponents into consideration. Also, all nine games, including the non-district games, will figure in the R-P-I number. This is a formula that closely follows what the N-C-A-A uses. In addition to the playoff qualification changes, the I-A-H-S-A-A board in control announced that Iowa football teams will be allowed to play opponents in neighboring states this fall.

Designated hitter Edgar Martinez came close after a grass-roots campaign to boost him.
LANSING, Mich. – Former U-S-A Gymnastics and Michigan State doctor Larry Nassar has been sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison following a week-long hearing in which more than 150 women and girls offered statements of sexual abuse by him. Nassar admitted molesting some of the nation’s top gymnasts for years under the guise of medical treatment. Judge Rosemarie Aquilina said it was her honor and privilege to sentence Nassar, telling him, “I just signed your death warrant.”

All-Star Game Final: Pacific All-Stars 5, Atlantic All-Stars 2
TAMPA, Fla. — The Pacific Division has won the NHL All-Star game. Ducks forward Rickard Rakell scored twice as the Pacific knocked off the Atlantic 5-2 in the All-Star final. Pacific goalies Marc-Andre Fleury and Mike Smith teamed to allow just four goals in the two games their team captured to claim the $1 million shared by the winners of the four-team divisional tournament. Canucks rookie Brock Boesser scored in each game for the Pacific to earn MVP honors. The three-game midwinter classic began with Boesser scoring the game-winner and James Neal netting a pair of goals in the Pacific’s 5-2 win over the Central. The Atlantic got into the final with a 7-4 comeback win over the Metropolitan Division. Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov complete a hat trick in the semifinal game after the Metropolitans took a 3-1 lead.
