– West Texas A&M junior Marshall Kasowski has earned Lone Star Conference Pitcher of the Week honors for the third time this season. In a 2-1 win at Eastern New
Mexico last Friday, Kasowski fanned 17 batters in 7.1 innings as he took a no-hitter into the seventh inning. He ended up allowing two hits, one earned run and
walked five. The 17 strikeouts ties the school-record for strikeouts in a game.

Buffs in a sweep of Midwestern State. In three games, Coveney hit .667 with a double, triple and two homeruns to drive in six runs with 15 total bases with a
walk and no strikeouts.

- Senior guard Frank Mason III of Kansas was the only unanimous selection to the 2016-17 AP All-America team announced yesterday, receiving all first-team votes
from the same 65-member national media panel that selects the weekly AP Top 25. The rest of the All-America team includes guards Josh Hart of Villanova and Lonzo
Ball of UCLA, plus forwards Caleb Swanigan of Purdue and Justin Jackson of North Carolina. Votes were based on the regular season and conference tournaments.

Making the 2nd team was Nigel Williams-Goss of Gonzaga along with fellow juniors Dillon Brooks of Oregon and Johnathan Motley of Baylor, sophomore Luke Kennard
of Duke and freshman Malik Monk of Kentucky.

- Dallas Cowboys Tight End Jason Witten quieted speculation about his future on Tuesday by signing a four-year contract extension to remain with the Cowboys

the team.
