CEDAR FALLS — End of an era. A fourth straight championship game appearance is something to be proud about. But in the end, West Hancock of Britt could not overcome Tri-Center of Neola in the Class A state championship game Thursday at the UNI-Dome. The Trojans (12-1) pulled out a 14-10 victory to dethrone the defending champion Eagles (12-1), earning the school’s first state football title in program history. “Championship games are about who makes the biggest plays or who makes the most plays,” running back Gustavo Gomez said. “It looks like they did today.” “I’m proud of my guys,” quarterback Zephyr Jamtgaard said. “They took it seriously and I’m really proud of that. We’re a program that gets to the championship. Win or lose, I’m still proud of this team. I don’t think this game defines our season at all.” West Hancock nearly pulled it off despite a pair of devastating injuries. A week ago, the Eagles lost second-leading rusher and top tackler Creighton Kelly to a knee injury. Kelly tried to make a go of it in pre-game but was immediately ruled out. Then in the second half, leading rusher Brady Bixel went down and had an arm in a sling by the end of the game. “Down here that’s part of the game,” West Hancock head coach Mark Sanger said. “In Class A football, when you lose kids like Creighton Kelly and Brady Bixel, I’d be lying to you if it didn’t affect what your gameplan was and what you’re doing. We got guys who stepped in, and we prepared for it.” “Brady was out so I had to step in at fullback,” Gomez said. “I have experience playing fullback, so it didn’t really increase my workload or anything.” Tri-Center made it tough on the Eagles and forced them into things a typical West Hancock team does not have to do, especially playing from behind and without its two best offensive weapons. For a team that didn’t throw the ball once in the semi-final game against Madrid, the Eagles quarterback Zephyr Jamtgaard was forced to throw more than normal as he finished just 3 for 9 for 33 yards. Bixel had 100 rushing yards before he went out with injury. Tri-Center, on the other hand, was also firing on all cylinders offensively with Carter Kunze running for 168 yards and a rushing touchdown paired with 62 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. Quarterback A.J. Harder had 207 passing yards with the touchdown to Kunze. Zach Nelson led the Trojans in receiving yards with 78. The game started with an explosive drive by the Trojans. The Trojans pounded the ball 42 yards down the field before Kunze picked up his first touchdown of the game on a 38-yard reception to give them the early 7-0 lead. After trading defensive stops, the Eagles finally answered back in a big way. After forcing a turnover on downs on the West Hancock 45-yard line, Gomez took off from the Tri-Center 49-yard line and tied the game up 7-7. “I ran my hardest,” Gomez said. “I only had one touchdown. It was all that I could get today.” Tri-Center closed the first half with a nearly five-minute drive dominated by Kunze’s ground game and the Trojans took back the lead with a Kunze four-yard touchdown with 40 seconds left in the half. The Eagles tried to tie the game back up, but a forward pass on a trick play past the line of scrimmage left the game 14-7 in favor of the Trojans as both teams headed into the locker room. The Eagles were the only team to score in the second half. Bixel exploded in the first two plays for a 28-yard rush followed by a 15-yard rush to get the ball in scoring position. However, a strong defensive showing by Tri-Center, West Hancock was forced to kick their first field goal of the year to make the game 14-10. “It was just a battle in the second half,” Sanger said. “We tried to figure out what we could do and couldn’t do. Defensively, we gave them some yards, but we turned them away when we had to. We turned them away in the second half, but we couldn’t make enough plays in the end to win that game.” The West Hancock senior class finished their football careers doing something that no team in school history has ever done by making the championship game for all four years of high school. “I couldn’t ask for a better senior class,” Sanger said. “There may be more athletic classes that come through but the way these guys compose themselves, the way they work, the example they set, the things they do, they’re going to be fine young men in our society as they go forward. That’s the goal isn’t it?” “This season has been great,” Jamtgaard said. “We finished 12-1 and were district champs, which is something we didn’t do last year. It’s really something to be proud of.” Sent weekly directly to your inbox!MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Mike Mitchell Jr. scored 22 points, all in the first half, and Minnesota defeated Morgan State 90-68 on Sunday.

Swinney and Brown at memorial service for ‘giant of a man’ Alex SalmondThe PGA Tour is making the most sweeping changes to its eligibility in more than 40 years by eliminating 25 tour cards, along with shrinking the size of its fields. The all-exempt tour had been in place since 1983, meaning the top 125 players from the official money list — now the FedEx Cup standings — kept a full PGA Tour card the following season. That changes in 2026 after the PGA Tour policy board approved a new priority list on Monday. Only the top 100 players will earn full tour cards for the following year. The top 30 from the developmental Korn Ferry Tour used to advance to the PGA Tour. That number now goes to 20. Five players from qualifying school will get cards — it previously was the top five and ties. The tour also is doing away with 156-man fields except for two tournaments held on multiple courses. Most tournaments will have 120 players before Daylight Saving Time, then 132 players in spring and a maximum of 144 players in the summer months. Here's a look at what's behind the changes and what it means: The all-exempt tour led to a bloated membership in which nearly 200 players were on the membership rolls through one exemption or another, and those toward the bottom of the priority list could not get into all the tournaments they wanted to play. Those who graduated from the Korn Ferry Tour, for example, could only get in three or four tournaments over the first few months of the season, giving them a disadvantage. The PGA Tour believes that limited full status to the top 100 instead of the top 125 will give everyone who earns a card a fair chance at getting into regular tournaments. Priority to get into tournaments starts with winners of the majors and The Players Championship over the last five years; winners of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Memorial and Genesis Invitational the last three years; tournament winners the last two years and career money leaders. Next are the top 125; players who have been given a medical extension; and then the 45 players who earned cards from the Korn Ferry Tour, European tour and Q-school. After that are those who finished from No. 126 to No. 150 in the FedEx Cup. All of them have PGA Tour cards. But there's not room for them in every tournament. The most common refrain in golf is to play better to get better status. Those who perennially finish in the top 100 should have no trouble keeping their cards, and they will have fewer players to beat because the fields will be smaller. It also helps newcomers from the Korn Ferry Tour, European tour and Q-school. They can expect to get into every regular tournament, increasing their odds of getting into some of the $20 million signature events. The PGA Tour, already the strongest circuit in golf, is likely to be even more competitive with a greater chance of the top names in contention. The tour also hopes — this is still to be determined — it will improve the pace of play and keep rounds from spilling over into the next day. Players like Peter Malnati and Taylor Pendrith come to mind. Under the new system, neither would have had a full PGA Tour card this year and likely would not have been in the fields for the tournaments they won — Malnati at the Valspar Championship and Pendrith at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Those wins make them exempt through 2026. Players who have not performed consistently well, who seem to struggle each year just to finish in the top 125, will have to be at their best to stay on tour. The PGA Tour also is reducing the four spots from Monday qualifiers at open tournaments. Now there will only two spots for the 132-man fields and none for fields of 120 players. One of golf's charms is how one week can change a career. Then again, there has been only one Monday qualifier to win in the last five years — Corey Conners in the 2019 Texas Open. The new eligibility starts in 2026, so that puts a huge emphasis on playing well this year knowing that only the top 100 will keep full status. The four majors are not run by the PGA Tour. The Masters has the smallest field, typically fewer than 100 players. The U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship have 156-man fields. The Players Championship, the premier event run by the PGA Tour, is reducing its field from 144 players to 120. AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
