SPORTS SHORTS: Cyclones lose Weiler-Babb, Young to injuries

AMES — Iowa State’s Nick Weiler-Babb and Solomon Young will miss extended time, head men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm announced Tuesday.

Weiler-Babb is expected to miss the remainder of the season after physicians at McFarland Clinic and in Dallas consulted following his visit there this week. Weiler-Babb will have further testing in the upcoming days.

Young had successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday. He is expected to make a full recovery, resuming basketball activities in three-to-four weeks.

Weiler-Babb has played in 22 games, averaging 11.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.8 assists. Young has started all 26 games this season, averaging 7.2 points and 5.9 rebounds.

Bears DB pleads guilty in northeast Iowa bar fracas

CEDAR FALLS — A Chicago Bears defensive back pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors stemming from a fracas at a bar in northeast Iowa.

Deiondre’ Hall and Green Bay Packers defensive back Makinton Dorleant were arrested March 26 last year outside Sharkey’s Funhouse in Cedar Falls. A Black Hawk County court document said Hall didn’t respond to police instructions and spit in officers’ faces. Dorleant was detained after he approached officers in a threatening manner following Hall’s arrest, police said.

Hall entered written pleas Feb. 9 to charges of disorderly conduct and public intoxication, the documents said. A charge of interference was dropped in exchange for his plea. The 23-year-old was sentenced to six months of probation on a deferred judgment. That will allow his conviction to be removed from court records if he successfully completes the terms of his probation.

The records said Dorleant, 25, was given a year of probation and granted a deferred judgment at his sentencing last May on the same charges. The Packers cut him in April after he failed a physical.

Both men played college football in Cedar Falls at Northern Iowa.
