“It was clear the emphasis is hard work and winning,” said Oladeru. “As a player with high aspirations, I feel like North Platte will push me to become the best version of myself on and off the court.”

Emmanuel is the son of Sunny Oladeru and Risikat Olubodun.

FNBO Nationals @ Lexington pregame at 7:50 5/18

The Nebraska men's basketball team added another experienced scorer to the Husker roster with the signing of SMU grad transfer Emmanuel Bandoumel (pronounced ban-do-mel) on Tuesday. Bandoumel, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound guard from Quebec City, Quebec, was a three-year starter at SMU. He started the last 64 games for the Mustangs dating back to the 2019-20 campaign. A double-figure scorer in each of the last two seasons, Bandoumel helped the Mustangs to a combined 54-26 record with two postseason appearances in his three years in the program. He will have one year of eligibility at Nebraska.&nbsp; "Emmanuel gives us another guard with positional size on the perimeter," Hoiberg said. "He's started the last two-plus years at SMU and is a good 3-point shooter who has shot over 35 percent each of the past two seasons. &nbsp;Defensively, he has the size and athleticism to guard several spots which matches up well with our other backcourt players. He also brings experience and leadership having started at SMU for the past three seasons. In Sam (Griesel), Juwan (Gary) and Emmanuel, I think we've added three players from the portal who will help us defensively with their length and size." Last season, Bandoumel started all 33 games for the Mustangs, who went 24-9 and reached the second round of the 2022 NIT. He averaged 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, reaching double figures in 18 games. He ranked second on the team with 70 3-pointers while shooting 35 percent from beyond the arc and 83 percent from the foul line. &nbsp;He had a career-high 23 points at East Carolina, including six 3-pointers, while he posted his first career double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds against Cincinnati.&nbsp; Bandoumel started all 17 games for SMU in an abbreviated 2020-21 season, averaging 10.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, as he ranked 14th in the American Athletic Conference in 3-point percentage (.364). He had a season-high 19 points, including a buzzer beater in a 66-64 win at Dayton and 16 points in the NIT against Boise State. In all, he had 10 double-figure efforts. &nbsp;He played a key role in his first season, appearing in all 30 games, including 18 starts, and averaged 6.3 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. He totaled eight double-figure efforts, including a season-high 14 points in a win at No. 20 Memphis.&nbsp; He spent one year at Hill (Texas) College, averaging 13.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game for Coach Swede Trenkle. He shot 53 percent from the field, 39 percent from 3-point range and 80.8 percent from the line while starting 27 of 30 games. Before coming to the United States, the Quebec City native played for Coach Michael Chmielewski at Jean-de-Brébeuf High School and AAU for Coach Joey McKitterick with Brookwood Elite. Bandoumel is the third transfer to join the Husker program this offseason, joining Sam Griesel (North Dakota State) and Juwan Gary (Alabama). They add to an incoming recruiting class that is ranked in the top 30 nationally by both Rivals and 247Sports. That group includes a pair of top-150 recruits in Ramel Lloyd Jr. and Jamarques Lawrence as well as junior college transfer Blaise Keita, who is the No. 4 overall player by JUCORecruiting.com.&nbsp;&nbsp;

2022 Nebraska High School Boys Golf District Results

The Nebraska track and field team collected three more Big Ten titles on the final day of the Big Ten Outdoor Championships to give them a total of six for the weekend. Maxwell Otterdahl, already crowned the shot put champion on Saturday, made it a double on Sunday by winning the discus title. The first-year Husker thrower set a new personal best of 190-11 (58.19m) to claim top honors.&nbsp; Mayson Conner, the Big Ten indoor high jump champion, came up clutch on his final attempt at 7-2 1/2 (2.20m). Needing a clearance to avoid a runner-up finish, Conner hit a new outdoor personal best, the No. 9 mark in school history, and it was enough to give the McCool Junction native&nbsp;a fourth career Big Ten gold medal. With&nbsp;Jenna Rogers&nbsp;also winning the indoor and outdoor high jump double, the Nebraska track and field program claimed all four Big Ten high jump gold medals in 2022.&nbsp; The men's 4x400-meter relay team of&nbsp;Jacob Hyde,&nbsp;Alex Nelson,&nbsp;Cory Berg&nbsp;and&nbsp;Nick Bryant&nbsp;pulled off a stunning upset to win the relay to close out the meet. Racing in the first of two sections with the ninth-fastest seed time entering the meet, the Huskers got a strong anchor leg from Bryant to win section one in 3:09.51. That time held up against section two, despite Iowa and Ohio State possessing two of the fastest 4x400-meter squads in the country. It was the Huskers' first 4x400-meter relay conference title since 2016.&nbsp; The Husker men finished in fourth place with 82 points, while the women took fifth place with 71 points. Ohio State swept the men's and women's team titles.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Huskers Head South for Stillwater Regional

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A federal judge dismissed the claims of seven women who alleged the University of Nebraska-Lincoln didn’t adequately respond to their complaints of being sexually assaulted or harassed, including four women who said they were victims of Cornhuskers athletes.

In his ruling Wednesday, U.S. District Chief Judge Robert F. Rossiter, Jr. allowed two other women who are plaintiffs to proceed with a portion of the case.

The lawsuit filed in July 2020 alleged violations of Title IX, the federal civil rights law ensuring equal opportunities for women in education. It said university training for students on sexual misconduct policies and investigation and reporting procedures are inadequate.

Rossiter, Jr. found the university did make mistakes but was not “deliberately indifferent” in its response to the seven women’s complaints and didn’t put the students at risk of further harm or violate their civil rights.

“The opinion provides substantial affirmation for the university’s confidence in its overall Title IX process,” the university said in a statement to media outlets. “While we cannot comment on the specifics of any Title IX case, every case is difficult and investigated on the information made available. The University disagrees with the factual assertions in the remaining claims and will continue to actively defend the litigation.”

A former Nebraska volleyball player and eight other women alleged a pattern of unresponsiveness, sloppiness and indifference by university employees in charge of investigating allegations of sexual misconduct.

The volleyball player, Capri Davis, alleged she was groped at an off-campus party. She later transferred to Texas.

Two athletes named in the case and accused of wrongdoing are former football players Katerian LeGrone and Andre Hunt. They were expelled in April 2020.

Both were criminally charged. LeGrone was found not guilty of sexual assault and Hunt was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine for a misdemeanor charge of false reporting. Hunt was initially charged with first-degree sexual assault but later pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge.

The Title IX lawsuit attracted the attention of the U.S. Department of Justice. The department’s Civil Rights Division, in a filing last summer, criticized the university’s response to the women’s claims.

St. Pats win District D-8 Track Meet in Broken Bow (5-12)

Story by Alexandra Francisco of <a href="https://www.patriots.com/news/former-patriot-danny-woodhead-advances-in-local-qualifier-for-u-s-open">Patriots.com</a>

Patriots fans may see a familiar face in the field for the U.S. Open this summer.

Former New England running back Danny Woodhead on Wednesday successfully made it through a local qualifier -- and will look to advance through one more for the chance to play in the golf major.

The timing is fitting, with the 2022 tournament being played at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass. in June.

Woodhead carded an even-par 71 at Omaha Country Club, earning one of the site's five Final Qualifying berths.

The round was a thriller, though, with the former Patriot overcoming four bogeys with as many birdies. He finished in a two-way tie for third, one stroke shy of a playoff.

It's been a goal of his to make it to a USGA Championship, and the former Patriot has dedicated significant energy towards making it a reality since his retirement from the NFL.

The 37-year-old qualified for the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball at Chambers Bay in 2021, but hopes to take it further.

Woodhead played 10 seasons between 2008 and 2017, spending 2010-12 in New England.

Hopefully, he'll have the chance to return to the area and compete in the U.S. Open.

He wouldn't be the first Patriot, current or former, to take on The Country Club this year. Attending the U.S. Open's Media Day last week, quarterback Brian Hoyer and long snapper Joe Cardona got to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.patriots.com/news/patriots-players-get-the-country-club-warmed-up-for-u-s-open" target="_blank">warm up the track</a>.

Perhaps they'll have a few pointers for Woodhead, with the major taking place between June 15-19.

NPHS Golf secures new Head Coach

Nebraska guard&nbsp;Bryce McGowens&nbsp;earned an invitation to the Microsoft Surface NBA Draft Combine 2022 next week in Chicago. McGowens is one of 76 players invited to the combine, which will take place May 18-22. He is the first Husker to participate in the event since Isaiah Roby in 2019, as McGowens will look to become the third Husker draft pick in the last four years. McGowens, who was named the Big Ten Newcomer of the Year by the Associated Press, averaged a team-high 16.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game during the 2021-22 season en route to third-team All-Big Ten honors from both the coaches and the media. The 6-foot-7, 179-pound guard was ninth in the Big Ten in scoring this past season, while ranking among the conference leaders in free throws made (162, second), free throws attempted (195, sixth) and free throw percentage (.831, third). An eight-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week, his 16.8 ppg ranked third among true freshmen nationally. &nbsp;For the year, he set school freshman marks for highest season average (16.8), points (522), free throws made and attempted while ranking in the top 10 in field goals (160, 2nd), rebounds (161, 4th) and 3-pointers (40, 6th). McGowens posted 11 games of at least 20 points in 2021-22, including a season-high 29 points against both Sam Houston and Rutgers. He played his best basketball down the stretch, averaging 19.8 ppg in a 12-game stretch, including seven 20-point outbursts, before missing the regular season finale at Wisconsin with an injury.&nbsp;&nbsp;

North Platte Community College volleyball player Madison Neely has signed a letter of intent to play for Peru State College.

She is the second NPCC volleyball player to transfer to Peru State. Neely’s teammate, Allie Schneider, announced her intentions in April.

“I chose Peru because I knew I wasn’t ready to be done playing my favorite sport, and the [Peru] team was very welcoming when I visited,” Neely said. “They also have a pre-radiology program, which is the field I plan to pursue a career in. During my time here at North Platte, I have made many lifelong friendships and have had great opportunities academically and athletically. I have learned so much throughout my time here and am thankful for my coaches, teammates and the great instructors here in North Platte.”

The 5-foot, 9-inch middle blocker from Broken Bow ended the year second in the region in service aces per set with .38 and third in the region with blocks per set with an average of .7.

Altogether, Neely managed 124 kills, 47 service aces, 80 blocks and 105 digs for the Knights last season.

During her time at NPCC, Neely has helped her team win both the regional and district championships. She has also qualified for the Dean’s and President’s lists.

“I am excited for Madi and her decision to continue playing,” said NPCC head volleyball coach Alexa McCall. “Madi has been an integral player during her two years with us, having to step in as a freshman middle and adapt quickly. She is one of the hardest working and toughest players I have ever coached. I am also proud of Madi and the things she has contributed to our Knight family. She is a great representative of our program. We wish her the best of luck as she continues her academic and athletic
