Local Sports – Fiesta Bowl – Mapleton Basketball

Kansas State and Oregon lost on the same day in November, all but ending their national championship hopes.  The Wildcats and Ducks ended up with a nice consolation prize: Facing each other in tonight’s Fiesta Bowl.  No. 3 Oregon is in its fourth straight BCS bowl, and features fast and talented players, and one of the most dynamic offensive backfields in college football.  No. 4 Kansas State doesn’t play quite as quickly as Oregon, but meticulously grinds out yards and points. Airtime on KCST is 4 o’clock, kickoff in Glendale Arizona is set for 5:35…

 

The Mapleton boys were on the hardwood last night for a non-league game against Falls City / King Valley, the Sailors took the game 56 / 45… Games between Mapleton and the Siuslaw JV set for tomorrow night have been canceled.
