MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Serena Sundell had 17 points and seven assists to lead five Kansas State players in double-figures scoring, and the ninth-ranked Wildcats rolled to an 86-39 victory over Central Arkansas on Sunday.

Taryn Sides had 15 points, All-American forward Ayoka Lee had 12 and Temira Poindexter and Jaelynn Glenn scored 10 apiece for the Wildcats (7-1), who followed a loss to No. 13 Duke last week with a back-to-back blowouts of DePaul and the Sugar Bears.

Jade Upshaw and Randrea Wright scored eight points apiece to lead Central Arkansas (4-2).

Kansas State scored the game’s first 10 points and led 21-1 before Wright finally made a field goal for Central Arkansas with 3:24 left in the first quarter. The Wildcats extended the lead to 52-13 by halftime and cruised the rest of the way.

The game was part of a men’s and women’s double-header at Bramlage Coliseum. The Wildcats’ men rolled to a 120-73 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff earlier in the day.

Central Arkansas had a tough time scoring against Kansas State, even though the Sugar Bears managed to score 58 in a loss to fellow Big 12 school Oklahoma State a couple of weeks ago.

Kansas State rolled to an expected easy victory, and should be heavily favored in its next two games against Eastern Illinois and South Carolina Upstate, before another test at Texas A&amp;M on Dec. 8.

Poindexter opened the game with a 3-pointer, Zyanna Walker followed with a three-point play, and the Wildcats were never threatened by Central Arkansas the rest of the way.

Kansas State shot 53.4% from the field while going 12 of 25 from the 3-point arc and 12 of 15 at the foul line.

Central Arkansas plays Little Rock on Saturday. Kansas State plays Eastern Illinois on Tuesday night.

Michigan, Ohio State players brawl after Wolverines beat No. 2 Buckeyes. Police use pepper spray

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A fight broke out at midfield after Michigan stunned No. 2 Ohio State 13-10 on Saturday when Wolverines players attempted to plant their flag on the OSU logo and were confronted by the Buckeyes. Police used pepper spray to break up the players, who threw punches and shoves in the melee that overshadowed the rivalry game. A police union official says one officer suffered unspecified injuries and was taken to a hospital. Ohio State coach Ryan Day defended his players, saying they "weren't going to sit back and let that happen." Michigan running back Kalel Mullings called the Buckeyes "classless."

Lou Carnesecca, Hall of Fame coach who led St. John's for 24 seasons, dies at 99

NEW YORK (AP) — Lou Carnesecca, the excitable St. John's coach whose outlandish sweaters became an emblem of his team's rousing Final Four run in 1985, has died at 99, just a few weeks shy of what would have been his 100th birthday. The university announced Carnesecca's death Saturday night, saying in a statement the Hall of Fame coach died surrounded by his family and had "endeared himself to generations of New Yorkers with his wit and warmth." Carnesecca was a treasured New York sports figure in his day, affection for "Looie" never wavering in a city with little patience for its players, coaches, executives and owners. He went 526-200 in 24 seasons over two stints at St. John's before retiring in 1992.

San Jose State's volleyball season that ignited debate over gender in sports ends in MW title match

LAS VEGAS (AP) — San Jose State's volleyball team was the subject of a national debate about participation in women's sports. The Spartans were beaten by Colorado State 27-25, 25-20, 23-25, 25-16 in Saturday's Mountain West tournament final. That ended the Spartans' season at 14-6. The Rams are 20-10. They received the conference's automatic bid to the 64-team NCAA Tournament. San Jose State's season was marked by forfeits, limited protests and the topic of gender identity becoming a political issue in an election year.

Wisner has career day as No. 3 Texas advances to SEC title game with 17-7 win over No. 20 Texas A&amp;M

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Quintrevion Wisner ran for a career-high 186 yards and Quinn Ewers threw a touchdown pass to lead No. 3 Texas to a 17-7 win over 20th-ranked archrival Texas A&amp;M. The win sends the Longhorns to the Southeastern Conference championship game. Texas will face No. 6 Georgia next Saturday in Atlanta for the SEC title, with the winner getting a first-round bye in the 12-team College Football Playoff. The Longhorns looked headed for a blowout in the rivalry game after leading 17-0 at halftime. But Ewers turned the ball over in the red zone on consecutive possessions to keep Texas A&amp;M in it.

No. 17 Iowa St beats Wildcats 29-21 for first 10-win season, will play Sun Devils for Big 12 title

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Rocco Becht threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and No. 17 Iowa State's defense came up with big stops in the second half to help the Cyclones beat Kansas State 29-21 for the first 10-win season in program history. About three hours after their game ended, they had their ticket to the Big 12 championship game punched when BYU's win over Houston provided the help they needed to advance to a meeting with Arizona State next Saturday night at AT&amp;T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

College football players scuffle after flags come out following rivalry wins

It was flag day in college football. Michigan, North Carolina State and Florida celebrated road wins by displaying flags on the logos in the middle of their rivals' stadiums. Arizona State put its own twist on the day with a trident. The results were predictable. Michigan scuffled with Ohio State after a group of Wolverines attempted to plant their flag in the middle of Ohio Stadium. There was a similar scene in North Carolina after at least one N.C. State player tried to plant a Wolfpack flag on UNC's home field. And another skirmish in Florida after Gators edge rusher George Gumbs Jr. planted a flag on Florida State's logo.

Syracuse knocks No. 6 Miami out of ACC title game and possibly the playoff with 42-38 win

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Kyle McCord and Syracuse knocked No. 6 Miami out of Atlantic Coast Conference title contention — and possibly ended the Hurricanes' College Football Playoff hopes — by rallying from a 21-0 deficit for a 42-38 win. McCord threw for 380 yards and three touchdowns for the Orange. LeQuint Allen ran for two scores and picked up two critical first downs on Syracuse's final, clock-killing drive. Cam Ward had 349 yards passing with two touchdowns for the Hurricanes, who will be off next week while Clemson faces SMU for the ACC title and will have to hope for an at-large bid into the 12-team playoff.

Sellers' 20-yard TD run with 1:08 to go lifts No. 16 South Carolina to 17-14 win over No. 12 Clemson

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — LaNorris Sellers' 20-yard TD run with 1:08 to play lifted No. 16 South Carolina to a 17-14 victory over No. 12 Clemson. The Gamecocks won their sixth straight game, including four over ranked opponents, and may have played themselves into the College Football Playoff. They wouldn't have done it without Sellers, who spun away from a defender in the backfield, broke through the line and cut left on his way to the winning score. Sellers rushed for 166 yards and threw for 164. Clemson will play in the ACC title game against No. 9 SMU on Dec. 7.

Norris defies orders to help Piastri and Verstappen loses the Qatar pole to Russell

LUSAIL, Qatar (AP) — Lando Norris ignored team orders as he handed his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri the win the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix in a one-two finish for the team. Norris started on pole position and kept the lead at the start as Piastri squeezed past the Mercedes of George Russell for second. Norris gave the lead to Piastri with the finish line in sight, paying back Piastri for gifting him a win in a sprint race in Brazil when Norris was still fighting Max Verstappen for the drivers' title. Champion Max Verstappen was fastest in qualifying but was penalized, elevating Russell to first on the grid.

Ryggs Johnston wins Australian Open for first title. Jiyai Shin wins women's event

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Unheralded American Ryggs Johnston has won his first professional title by claiming the Australian Open by three stokes, while South Korea's Jiyai Shin claimed her second Women's Australian Open which was played concurrently at two courses on the famed Melbourne sand belt. Johnston shot a 68 on Sunday to finish at 18-under 269 and three clear of Australian Curtis Luck (68), who had briefly taken the lead on the final stretch at Kingston Heath.

In the Women's Australian Open, Shin shot a final round 70 for a 17-under-par 274 total to win by two shots from the twice defending champion Ashleigh Buhai.

Cam Ward had 349 yards passing with two touchdowns for the Hurricanes, who will be off next week while Clemson faces SMU for the ACC title and will have to hope for an at-large bid into the 12-team playoff.Sellers' 20-yard TD run with 1:08 to go lifts No. 16 South Carolina to 17-14 win over No. 12 ClemsonCLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — LaNorris Sellers' 20-yard TD run with 1:08 to play lifted No. 16 South Carolina to a 17-14 victory over No. 12 Clemson. The Gamecocks won their sixth straight game, including four over ranked opponents, and may have played themselves into the College Football Playoff. They wouldn't have done it without Sellers, who spun away from a defender in the backfield, broke through the line and cut left on his way to the winning score. Sellers rushed for 166 yards and threw for 164. Clemson will play in the ACC title game against No. 9 SMU on Dec. 7.Norris defies orders to help Piastri and Verstappen loses the Qatar pole to RussellLUSAIL, Qatar (AP) — Lando Norris ignored team orders as he handed his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri the win the sprint race at the Qatar Grand Prix in a one-two finish for the team. Norris started on pole position and kept the lead at the start as Piastri squeezed past the Mercedes of George Russell for second. Norris gave the lead to Piastri with the finish line in sight, paying back Piastri for gifting him a win in a sprint race in Brazil when Norris was still fighting Max Verstappen for the drivers' title. Champion Max Verstappen was fastest in qualifying but was penalized, elevating Russell to first on the grid.Ryggs Johnston wins Australian Open for first title. Jiyai Shin wins women's eventMELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Unheralded American Ryggs Johnston has won his first professional title by claiming the Australian Open by three stokes, while South Korea's Jiyai Shin claimed her second Women's Australian Open which was played concurrently at two courses on the famed Melbourne sand belt. Johnston shot a 68 on Sunday to finish at 18-under 269 and three clear of Australian Curtis Luck (68), who had briefly taken the lead on the final stretch at Kingston Heath. The 24-year-old Montana native, currently ranked 953rd, is the first American to win the Stonehaven Cup since PGA Tour star Jordan Spieth won it for a second time in 2016. In the Women's Australian Open, Shin shot a final round 70 for a 17-under-par 274 total to win by two shots from the twice defending champion Ashleigh Buhai.AP-ScorecardHere are the scores from yesterday's sports events:___NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATIONFinal	Atlanta	107	Charlotte	104	Final	Philadelphia	111	Detroit	96	Final	Milwaukee	124	Washington	114	Final	Phoenix	113	Golden State	105	Final	Dallas	106	Utah	94	___NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUEFinal	N-Y Rangers	4	Montreal	3	Final	Florida	6	Carolina	0	Final	Los Angeles	5	Ottawa	2	Final OT	Philadelphia	3	St. Louis	2	Final	Pittsburgh	6	Calgary	2	Final	Washington	6	New Jersey	5	Final	Toronto	5	Tampa Bay	3	Final	N-Y Islanders	3	Buffalo	0	Final OT	Minnesota	3	Nashville	2	Final	Utah	6	Vegas	0	Final	Edmonton	4	Colorado	1	Final	San Jose	4	Seattle	2	___TOP-25 COLLEGE FOOTBALLFinal	(16)South Carolina	17	(12)Clemson	14	Final	(3)Texas	17	(20)Texas A&amp;M	7	Final	(25)Army	29	UTSA	24	Final	Michigan	13	(2)Ohio St.	10	Final	(7)Tennessee	36	Vanderbilt	23	Final	(22)Illinois	38	Northwestern	28	Final	(5)Notre Dame	49	Southern Cal	35	Final	(4)Penn St.	44	Maryland	7	Final	(13)Alabama	28	Auburn	14	Final	(24)Missouri	28	Arkansas	21	Final	(9)SMU	38	California	6	Final	Syracuse	42	(8)Miami	38	Final	(14)Arizona St.	49	Arizona	7	Final	(10)Indiana	66	Purdue	0	Final	(17)Iowa St.	29	Kansas St.	21	Final	(1)Oregon	49	Washington	21	Final	(21)UNLV	38	Nevada	14	Final	(19)BYU	30	Houston	18	___TOP-25 COLLEGE BASKETBALLFinal	(1)Kansas	86	Furman	51	Final	(2)UConn	99	Md.-Eastern Shore	45	Final	San Diego St.	73	(6)Houston	70	Final	Oregon	83	(9)Alabama	81	Final	(10)Marquette	94	W.

📢📰🎧 Sports Headlines for Sunday

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Rocco Becht threw for two touchdowns and ran for another and No. 17 Iowa State’s defense came up with big stops in the second half to help the Cyclones beat Kansas State 29-21 on Saturday night for the first 10-win season in program history.

Iowa State (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten, No. 18 CFP) needed BYU to beat Houston on Saturday night to secure a spot in next week’s conference championship game against Arizona State.

Becht’s first touchdown pass, a 15-yarder to Jayden Higgins, came after Myles Purchase recovered Avery Johnson’s errant pitch on the game’s first play from scrimmage. Becht’s 9-yard TD pass to Jaylin Noel came after Joey Petersen picked up Keagan Johnson’s fumble. Noel went over 1,000 yards receiving for the season with the catch.

Becht’s 5-yard run put the Cyclones up 24-14 at half.

A safety and Kyle Konrardy’s 20-yard field goal gave Iowa State an eight-point lead in the middle of the fourth quarter.

The Wildcats (8-4, 5-4, No. 24 CFP) turned over the ball on downs at the Cyclones’ 35 when a pass went off Garrett Oakley’s hands on a fourth-and-2 with 4:59 left. They got the ball back for a final possession with no timeouts and 1:11 left when Kyle Konrardy missed what would have been a game-clinching 37-yard field goal. K-State went nowhere, with Avery Johnson knocked out of the game on third down and Ta’Quan Roberson throwing incomplete on fourth-and-15.

Becht took a knee, and the fans poured out of the stands to celebrate with the Cyclones on the field.

Avery Johnson threw touchdown passes of 28 and 65 yards to Jayce Brown in the first half, and his 7-yarder to Oakley pulled K-State within 24-21 late in the third quarter. He threw for 220 yards and ran for 64 on 13 carries, and Brown caught three balls for 106 yards.

The Cyclones made a huge stop earlier in the third after DJ Giddens’s 36-yard run set up K-State inside the 5-yard line. They kept the Wildcats out of the end zone, and then Darien Porter blew through the right side of the line to block Chris Tennant’s 21-yard field-goal try.

The defense recorded a safety when Jacob Ellis chased Avery Johnson into his own end zone. Johnson desperately unloaded the ball and was called for intentional grounding.

Kansas State: The Wildcats failed to play spoiler after finding out their chances at potentially making the Big 12 championship game were squashed earlier in the day. Their two turnovers, having a field goal blocked, giving up a safety and failing to convert two fourth-and-2s hurt.

Iowa State: The Cyclones secured their first 10-win season in their program’s 133-year history and turned into temporary BYU fans in the wake of their win.

Iowa State looks to climb a couple of spots following its win.

Iowa State: Will play in a bowl game and possibly the Big 12 championship game.

🏈 State champs crowned

WACO, Texas (AP) — Sawyer Robertson threw for 310 yards and four touchdowns as Baylor won its sixth straight to keep alive its slim hopes for a berth in the Big 12 championship game, beating Kansas 45-17 on Saturday.

The Bears (8-4, 6-3 Big 12) scored touchdowns on three consecutive possessions in the first half to take a 21-7 lead, then found the end zone on all three of their drives in the third quarter.

Bryson Washington ran for 192 yards on 27 carries that included a 10-yard TD run and punching in from the 1 in the second half for Baylor.

Kansas (5-7, 4-5) entered on a three-game winning streak — all against ranked teams — to be in position for bowl eligibility with a win. But the Jayhawks had no answers for Baylor’s offensive.

Baylor, which started 0-3 in league play, had to wait for the outcomes of games later Saturday. Arizona had to beat Arizona State, Kansas State had to beat Iowa State and Houston had to beat BYU for the Bears to get into next week's conference title game.

Robertson was 23-for-31 passing, with TDs of 36- and 39-yards to Monaray Baldwin in the first quarter before a 14-yard score to Josh Cameron in the second. Baldwin caught seven passes for 119 yards, and Cameron added eight receptions for 102.

Devin Neal ran for 133 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries for Kansas. Jalon Daniels was 12-of-23 passing for 280 yards passing, and had two passes intercepted by Baylor safety Devyn Bobby.

Kansas: The Jayhawks rarely had issues moving the ball in the first half. Despite trailing 21-10 at intermission, the Jayhawks had outgained Baylor 301-283. Their problems came with holding onto the ball and scoring when they had the chance. Tabor Allen missed a 38-yard field goal to end the Jayhawks’ first possession, and they had promising drives end on a Daniels interception and Tevita Noa fumble after a 39-yard reception.

Baylor: The Bears made a remarkable turnaround in the second half of the season. They began the year with coach Dave Aranda’s future considered tenuous at best, and a 2-4 start only made calls for him to be replaced louder. But Aranda and Baylor haven’t lost since Oct. 5 against Iowa State.

Baylor had to wait to see when and where it will play its next game.

 KISSIMMEE, Fla. — No. 18 Florida proved to be every bit of a Top 25 team in its 88-51 win over Wichita State in the championship game of the ESPN Events Invitational Friday afternoon.

The 37-point loss tied for the fifth largest in the modern era (1945-Pr.). It also marked the first 30-point loss since Feb. 9, 2020 at Houston. Wichita State (6-1) has dropped its last five MTE championship games and last nine games against ranked opponents.

Harlond Beverly was named to the All-Tournament Team.

Wichita State set season lows in points (51), field goals made (17), field goal percentage (30%), total rebounds (30) and rebound margin (minus-26). Florida's 20 offensive rebounds were the most by an opponent this season.

The Gators knocked down a season-high 14 three-pointers (14-for-33).

Florida turned a three-point game into a 19-point halftime lead, 37-18. The Gators held Wichita State scoreless for the final 5:55, closing the half on a 16-0 run.

Wichita State's 18 first half points were a season low, as they were just 6-of-32 from the field with seven turnovers. Florida dominated the glass, outrebounding Wichita State by 12, including nine offensive rebounds.

Out of halftime Florida kept the foot on the gas, scoring the first 10 points and never looked back. They led by as many as 48 in the second half.

🏀 Shockers blown out by Florida Friday

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs recovered a botched snap while the Las Vegas Raiders were within range of a go-ahead field goal with 15 seconds remaining on Friday, preserving a 19-17 victory for Kansas City and giving the franchise its 10th consecutive playoff berth.

The Raiders (2-10) had taken over at their own 8-yard line with just under two minutes to go, and Aidan O’Connell quickly moved them across midfield, eventually spiking the ball at the Kansas City 32 to stop the clock.

Rather than try a potential winning field goal — Daniel Carlson had already missed three from 50-plus — the Raiders lined up to run a play. Andre James snapped the ball when O’Connell wasn’t expecting it and it bounced off the quarterback’s shoulder. Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton jumped on the ball, and the recovery stood when a flag on the play turned out to be an illegal shift by the Raiders.

It was the 14th consecutive game decided by one possession that Kansas City (11-1) has won.

The Raiders had a chance earlier in the fourth quarter, and O’Connell similarly drove them across midfield. But the Chiefs forced three straight incomplete passes — George Karlaftis and Justin Reid batted down two — to bring up fourth down. Carlson headed onto the field, but his 58-yard try with 2:21 never got near the uprights.

Patrick Mahomes had 306 yards passing and a TD for Kansas City, while fill-in kicker Matt Wright made four field goals.

O’Connell finished with 340 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Raiders, who have lost eight of nine to their bitter AFC West rivals. Brock Bowers had 10 catches for 140 yards and one of the scores.

The hapless Raiders were able to hang around thanks to the same problems that have plagued the Chiefs much of the season: Their offensive tackles were unable to give Mahomes time to throw, their secondary kept breaking down and they committed too many penalties — three on one offensive possession alone.

In fact, Mahomes was under extreme duress when he found Justin Watson from 6 yards out late in the first half. The pass not only gave the Chiefs a 10-3 lead but sent the two-time MVP past Len Dawson with his franchise-record 328th TD throw.

O’Connell, who was thrust back onto the field when Gardner Minshew went on injured reserve with a broken collarbone this week, got off to a slow start after missing a month with a broken thumb. But while the Chiefs continued to kick field goals, the second-year pro found his rhythm for the Raiders, eventually slinging a pair of TD passes to give Las Vegas the lead.

The first was to Bowers, already one of the most productive rookies in NFL history, with 1:40 left in the third quarter. Then, after the Chiefs went three-and-out, O’Connell hit Tre Tucker with 58-yard strike on the first play of the fourth quarter.

The Chiefs answered with Wright’s fourth field goal to take a 19-17 lead with about 10 minutes to go.

Chris Jones had two sacks for Kansas City. He had not had one the previous seven games. ... Las Vegas has trailed by double digits in every game this season. ... Mahomes had gone 113 straight starts without being sacked five-plus times. Carolina and Las Vegas have done it in consecutive weeks.

Raiders: WR DJ Turner left in the second half with a knee injury.

The Chiefs welcome the Los Angeles Chargers the same night.

AP Sports Summary for November 29th, 2024:

Love connects with Reed on 2 TDs as Packers use fast start to beat Dolphins 30-17

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes to Jayden Reed and the Green Bay Packers capitalized on a fast start to beat Miami 30-17 and snap the Dolphins' three-game winning streak. Green Bay has won three straight and seven of its last eight. Miami continued its recent history of struggling in cold weather. The kickoff temperature at Lambeau Field was 27 degrees with 10 mph winds, light flurries and a wind chill of 18. The Dolphins have lost their past 12 regular-season or postseason games in which the temperature at kickoff has been below 40 degrees.

Overshown's flashy pick-6 boosts Cowboys in 27-20 Thanksgiving win over Giants

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — DeMarvion Overshown returned an interception 23 yards for a touchdown, Rico Dowdle ran for a score in his first career 100-yard game and the Dallas Cowboys held on for a 27-20 Thanksgiving Day victory over the New York Giants. Cooper Rush threw a TD pass, and Dowdle finished with 112 yards. The Cowboys ended a six-game home losing streak going back to a wild-card loss to Green Bay last season. Drew Lock started in place of the injured Tommy DeVito and lost a fumble after Overshown's dynamic pick-6 in a seventh consecutive loss for the Giants. New York's eighth consecutive loss to Dallas also eliminated the Giants from playoff contention..

Lions extend win streak to 10 games, hold off Bears for 23-20 victory

DETROIT (AP) — Jared Goff threw two touchdown passes to Sam LaPorta, Jake Bates made three field goals in the first half and the Detroit Lions held off the Chicago Bears 23-20 to extend their winning streak to 10 games. The Lions snapped a seven-game losing streak on Thanksgiving. The Bears had the ball in Lions territory late in the game with a chance to drive for a game-tying field goal or go-ahead touchdown, but they blew the opportunity. Caleb Williams threw an incomplete pass as time expired from the Detroit 41 after being sacked with about 30 seconds left, allowing time to run off the clock even though Chicago had one more timeout.

San Jose State is disappointed Boise State forfeited but looks forward to volleyball final

LAS VEGAS (AP) — San Jose State says it's disappointed that Boise State forfeited its semifinal match in the Mountain West women's volleyball tournament but is focused on the future. Boise State pulled out of the conference tournament Wednesday night after securing a spot in Friday's semifinals against the Spartans earlier that day. The Broncos didn't announce explicitly say why they withdrew. But a lawsuit was recently filed in Colorado by players from various schools against the conference and San Jose State officials calling for a Spartans player not to be allowed to participate in the tournament. They cited unspecified reports asserting there was a transgender player on the San Jose State volleyball team. San Jose State has not confirmed the school has a trans women's volleyball player.

Why did Iga Swiatek get a one-month doping ban? What did she test positive for?

Iga Swiatek is the second high-profile tennis player to test positive for a banned substance this year. Her case follows that of Jannik Sinner, currently the No. 1 ranked man. He was fully cleared. Swiatek, who slid from No. 1 to No. 2 last month, accepted a one-month suspension that was announced Thursday. The International Tennis Integrity Agency said it determined that Swiatek's tainted urine sample was because of a contaminated medicine she took and so she bore a low level of responsibility. The head of the ITIA said these were not cases of intentional doping and so she does not think they are cause for concern among tennis fans.

Lions injured DE Aidan Hutchinson surprises 20-year-old Marine with 4 tickets to game against Bears

CHESTERFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Jacob Rinehart, who was injured while training to be a Marine, was surprised recently when Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson knocked on his door and gave him four tickets to the Thanksgiving game against the Chicago Bears. Rinehart watched warmups at Ford Field in Detroit on Thursday morning along the sideline, where team owner Sheila Ford Hamp told him he had two tickets for the Super Bowl and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown stopped by to autograph his jersey.

Desrosiers scores 3 TDs as Memphis tops No. 18 Tulane 34-24 to end the Green Wave's faint CFP hopes

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Greg Desrosiers Jr. caught two scoring passes and ran for a touchdown, and Memphis defeated No. 18 Tulane 34-24 to knock the Green Wave out of contention for a berth in the College Football Playoff. While Tulane was not likely to make the new 12-team CFP, it had to win its regular-season finale and next week's conference title game to have any chance. Instead, the Green Wave turned the ball over three times deep in Memphis territory as their streak of regular-season conference victories ended at 17. Memphis' Mario Anderson Jr. rushed for 177 yards, including a 47-yard touchdown. Tulane quarterback Darian Mensah passed for 317 yards and two scores and was intercepted once.

Bill Battle, former Tennessee coach and Alabama AD who founded licensing company, dies

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Bill Battle III, who was athletic director at his alma mater, Alabama, where he played for Paul "Bear" Bryant's first national championship team, coached the Tennessee Volunteers and also founded the Collegiate Licensing Company, has died. He was 82. Alabama released a statement Thursday saying that Battle had died. No details were provided. Athletic director Greg Byrne said in a statement it's tough to put into words just what Battle means to the Crimson Tide and college athletics as a whole as a true visionary. Battle made Condredge Holloway the first Black quarterback to start for any Southeastern Conference team, which Holloway did for Tennessee in 1972. Battle also founded the Collegiate Licensing Company and was president and CEO until 2002.

Female racing pioneer 'Motorcycle Mary' McGee dies a day before documentary on her is released

GARDNERVILLE, Nev. (AP) — Female racing pioneer Mary McGee has died at the age of 87. Her family says McGee died of complications from a stroke at her home in Gardnerville, Nevada, on Wednesday, the day before a documentary on her career was released globally. "Motorcycle Mary" was released Thursday on ESPN's YouTube channel. Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton was an executive producer on the film. Its premiere was at the Tribeca Festival in June. McGee had an accomplished racing resume, first in auto racing and later in motorcycle racing. She became the first person — man or woman — to complete solo the grueling Baja 500 off-road race in Mexico. She did that in 1975.

Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek accepts a one-month suspension in doping case

The International Tennis Integrity Agency says five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek has accepted a one-month suspension after testing positive for the banned substance trimetazidine. That is a heart medication known as TMZ. The ITIA says Swiatek failed an out-of-competition drug test in August, and it accepted her explanation that the result was unintentional and caused by the contamination of a nonprescription medication, melatonin, that Swiatek was taking for issues with jet lag and sleeping. It was determined her level of fault was "at the lowest end of the range for no significant fault or negligence," according to the ITIA.

📢📰🎧 Sports Headlines for Friday

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs activated running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu on Thursday, and both are expected to be on the field when the Super Bowl champions play the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday.

Pacheco, who has been the lead running back the past three seasons, has been on injured reserve since Week 2, when he fractured his right fibula against Cincinnati. Pacheco has been practicing for the past couple of weeks, but the Chiefs had been cautious in getting their all-energy running back ready to play.

Pacheco had only carried 34 times for 135 yards and a touchdown before getting hurt.

(AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs activated running back Isiah Pacheco and defensive end Charles Omenihu on Thursday, and both are expected to be on the field when the Super Bowl champions play the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday.Pacheco, who has been the lead running back the past three seasons, has been on injured reserve since Week 2, when he fractured his right fibula against Cincinnati. Pacheco has been practicing for the past couple of weeks, but the Chiefs had been cautious in getting their all-energy running back ready to play.Pacheco had only carried 34 times for 135 yards and a touchdown before getting hurt.The Chiefs signed Kareem Hunt shortly after Pacheco went down, and the veteran running back has been solid in his place. But with complementary skill sets, Pacheco and Hunt are expected to form a backfield tandem similar to what Hunt experienced in Cleveland with Nick Chubb the past few years.“The best part about that is you don’t have just one where he’s getting worn down, to where he’s 50 or 60 percent in the third quarter. Now you have two that are working at 100 percent,” Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said. “When they’re up and running, we feel pretty strong about who they are and how much they can help us, and we’re excited about it.”Omenihu has not been on the field since tearing his right ACL in the playoffs last year. But he was a disruptive force in 11 regular-season games last season, piling up seven sacks to go with 12 quarterback pressures.Omenihu’s return should help a pass rush whose 21 sacks are better than only four other teams in the NFL.“Charles’ versatility, going inside and out, adds another level of depth to our defense, especially the D-line,” Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones said. “And he’s a pass rusher. It’s always good to get more pass rushers on the field.”As expected, the Chiefs ruled out fill-in kicker Spencer Shrader — who had been replacing the injured Harrison Butker — after he strained his hamstring earlier in the week. Matthew Wright will handle kicking duties against the Raiders.“We all have trust in him from having been around him,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “so we look forward to welcoming him into the mix. I know guys know him and have made him, I think, feel that way coming back here. Full trust in him.”The Chiefs also promoted tight end Anthony Firkser from the practice squad after putting Peyton Hendershot on injured reserve.
