FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes has been the most electrifying quarterback in the NFL this season. Next he’ll get to be on the field opposite Tom Brady, who will retire as possibly the best to ever play the position. Mahomes leads the NFL with 14 touchdown passes and has won each of his first six NFL starts dating back to his lone start last season. With a win at New England Mahomes would become the sixth quarterback since 1970 to win each of his first seven career starts.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have already made a name for themselves this season with their unique approach to offense. Yes they have a plethora of playmakers. But they also line up in some funky formations. And their use of motion to create mismatches has caused some nightmares for opposing defenses.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to a one-year deal with Adam Wainwright, bringing the veteran right-hander back to the only major league team he has ever pitched for. The 37-year-old Wainwright has been with St. Louis since making his big league debut in 2005. He made just eight starts this season because of hamstring and elbow problems, going 2-4 with a 4.46 ERA.

UNDATED (AP) — First-year Nebraska coach Scott Frost didn’t accuse Oregon State of tampering with players who were on his roster but is taking no chances. Frost listed Oregon State as one of the schools Greg Bell could not transfer to as a condition of granting his release. Three former Nebraska players have transferred to Oregon State since August. Frost said he has no doubt those players had contact with people they know at Oregon State. Oregon State had no response to Frost’s comments.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Chicago dealt Iowa State a major blow a few years back when the Bulls hired coach Fred Hoiberg and brought him to the NBA. Cyclones fans might warm up to the Windy City again when they see the talent that Steve Prohm, Hoiberg’s successor, has brought in from the Midwest’s basketball hotbed. Wing players Talen Horton-Tucker and Zion Griffin and frontcourt George Conditt IV are expected to give the Cyclones a major boost after a down year.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Challenger Jose Benavidez Jr. has been displaying lots of bravado in advance of his fight with Terence “Bud” Crawford. The WBO welterweight champion expects Benavidez to respect him by the time things are settled in the ring Saturday. There has been friction between Benavidez and Crawford since February, when Benavidez accused the champ of ducking him. The scheduled 12-round fight will be Crawford’s first defense of his WBO belt.

The Western Iowa Conference Cross Country Championships were held in Audubon on Thursday night and the Logan-Magnolia girls and Treynor boys came away with team titles.

In the girls race Logan-Magnolia scored 31 points to win with AHSTW second at 63 points. Tri-Center 64, Treynor 93, and Audubon 105 rounded out the rest of the field.

Individually Peyton Pogge of Tri-Center won the race with a time of 19:21.40. Taylor Sporrer of Logan-Magnolia was 2nd at 20:06.20. Courtney Sporrer of Logan-Magnolia, Kylie Morrison of Lo-Ma, and Tori Castle of Treynor rounded out the top 5.

In the boys race Treynor edged out Tri-Center by just two points 48 to 50 to win. IKM-Manning, Missouri Valley, Riverside, and Underwood were the rest of the field.

Individually Jerry Jorgenson of Treynor ran 16:53.53 to win comfortably. Jordan Hustak of Missouri Valley was 2nd with a time of 17:39.29. Derrick Thompson of Treynor, Quentin Dreyer of IKM-Manning, and Bryce Patten of Underwood were the rest of the top 5.

The Atlantic Trojans (2-5) football team travels to face the Shenandoah Mustangs (0-7) on Friday night and we’ll have coverage on KJAN. The Trojans are looking to carry some momentum from a strong performance against Greene County over to this week. The Trojans racked up 399 yards of total offense against the Rams last week with a well balanced attack. Shenandoah Head Coach Ty Ratliff said his team has been focused on trying to limit scrambling opportunities for Trojan quarterback Chase Mullenix.

The Mustangs haven’t been able to generate consistent offense of their own this season but Coach Ratliff said they have been improving week to week up front.

The Mustangs are led by their quarterback Kyle Cerven who has thrown for 612 yards and rushed for 199 yards. The Mustangs have adapted their scheme to give Cerven a chance to run and Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott said the Trojans will be focused on trying to set the edge.

Atlantic had some success last week with a quick hitting run game and Coach McDermott said they will look for more of that this week.

You can hear more from Coach McDermott on Trojan Preview at 4:45pm on Friday afternoon.

The Trojans and the Mustangs are set for a 7:00pm kickoff on Friday night, our pregame coverage will begin at 6:30pm. Listen to the game on-air, online, or on the web app. You can also fins live video on our Facebook page.

Our weekly pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? will air at 6:00pm prior to pregame. Stay tuned after the game as well for all the scores around the state on the Iowa High School Scoreboard Show from 10:00pm-11:30pm.

ST. LOUIS, MO – October 11, 2018 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have agreed to terms with veteran pitcher Adam Wainwright on a one-year contract for the 2019 season.   Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Wainwright, 37, will be entering his 15th season with the Cardinals in 2019, matching Bob Forsch (1974-88) for the 3rd-most seasons as a pitcher in a Redbirds uniform.  Jesse Haines (18 years, 1920-37) and Bob Gibson (17 years, 1959-75) are the only pitchers ahead of them.

“Adam represents everything we think of when asked to describe a winning player, and a winning teammate,” stated Cardinals’ Chairman Bill DeWitt, Jr.   “His value to our team stretches far beyond the box score, and he showed by season’s end that he is still ready and able to compete.”

Wainwright will enter the 2019 season ranked 5th all-time among Cardinals in wins (148) and 2nd in strikeouts (1,623).  The two-time World Series Champion (2006 & 2011) and three-time All-Star (2010, 2013, 2014) ranks 11th among active pitchers in win, 17th in strikeouts and 8th in ERA (3.32), despite missing significant time due to injury in 2011, 2015 and 2018.

“Adam has proven, when healthy, that he still has the ability and the drive to contribute at the highest level,” said Cardinals’ President of Baseball Operations John Mozeliak.  “We saw it in Spring Training, and again late in the season, that once he had overcome his ailments, he was prepared to give us a winning effort every time he took the mound.  There is risk, but it is shared, and this deal gives us added depth as we look to 2019.”

Wainwright missed a total of 149 days while on the disabled list with hamstring and elbow injuries in 2018.  He finished the year with a 2-4 mark and 4.46 ERA in eight games (all starts).  Adam made four starts in September, striking out 25 in his 22.1 innings pitched while going 1-1 with a 4.84 ERA, as the Cardinals went 3-1 in those games.   Despite making fewer September starts than his teammates, “Waino” finished third on the team in innings pitched and strikeouts last month.

A former Rawlings Gold Glove (2009 & 2013) and National League Silver Slugger (2017) award winner, Wainwright owns a career mark of 148-85 with a 3.32 ERA in 352 games (285 starts) covering 1,932.0 innings pitched.  He is the Cardinals all-time leader in postseason games pitched (24) and strikeouts (96) and was on the mound for the Cardinals World Series and National League Championship Series clinching wins in 2006.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

UNDATED (AP) — Sixth-ranked West Virginia is the Big 12’s last remaining undefeated team. The 5-0 Mountaineers play at Iowa State. West Virginia has Heisman Trophy-contending quarterback Will Grier. He has thrown for at least 332 yards and three TDs in every game this season. Iowa State is on its third quarterback. True freshman Brock Purdy accounted for 402 total yards and five touchdowns last week in a 48-42 win at then-No. 25 Oklahoma State.

UNDATED (AP) — No. 12 Michigan hosts No. 15 Wisconsin in a Big Ten crossover game that could have major implications in the division races. The Wolverines are starting a tough stretch of games that has them playing Michigan State and Penn State after the Badgers. Wisconsin’s biggest challenge after Michigan is Nov. 10 at Penn State. Indiana is an underdog at home to Iowa, but the Hawkeyes are banged up and will be facing a budding star in Stevie Scott and a precision passer in Peyton Ramsey.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs signed former Cleveland Browns linebacker Nate Orchard to shore up their pass rush with linebackers Justin Houston and Dee Ford hobbled by injuries. Houston could miss several weeks after hurting his hamstring in Kansas City’s win over Jacksonville. Ford has dealt with a series of minor injuries this season. Their backup, Tanoh Kpassagnon, also has missed time with a bothersome ankle.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Tex Winter, the innovative “Triangle Offense” pioneer who assisted Phil Jackson on NBA championship teams with the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, has died. He was 96. Kansas State University said Winter died in Manhattan.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska freshman Adrian Martinez’s performances through four games already has him drawing comparisons to some of the standout quarterbacks coached by Scott Frost. He set school freshman records with 384 yards passing and 441 yards of total offense in a loss at Wisconsin. That was his second straight game with more than 400 yards of total offense. Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald calls Martinez a magician. The Cornhuskers visit the Wildcats on Saturday.
