Chiefs release OL Jah Reid after acquiring Cam Erving

Sports

September 1st, 2017 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs released veteran offensive lineman Jah Reid before Thursday night’s preseason finale against Tennessee, one day after acquiring former first-round pick Cam Erving in a trade with Cleveland.

Most expected Erving to assume the swing tackle job that Reid has held down the past two seasons in Kansas City. The Chiefs ultimately decided to give Reid a better chance to latch on elsewhere by letting him go ahead of Saturday’s NFL-mandated roster cuts.

Reid has appeared in 61 games over six seasons with Baltimore and Kansas City, and injuries made him a dependable backup with the Chiefs. He started 10 games in 2015 and appeared in 12 games last season.

Erving was acquired from Cleveland for a 2018 fifth-round draft pick. He was the No. 19 overall selection in 2015, but had struggled to lock down a starting job with the Browns.

Wacha bounces back, Grichuk homers as Cards top Giants 5-2

Sports

September 1st, 2017 by Ric Hanson

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Michael Wacha pitched six strong innings and Randal Grichuk hit a two-run homer as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Thursday night. The Giants were without staff ace Madison Bumgarner, a late scratch with flu symptoms, as they lost for the sixth time in seven games.

Wacha (10-7) gave up one run, four hits and two walks as he bounced back from a tough stretch. In his three previous starts he was 0-3 with a 10.22 ERA.

The Cardinals moved within 5 1/2 games of the idle Colorado Rockies in the NL wild card race. They failed to gain ground in the NL Central as the first-place Chicago Cubs defeated the Atlanta Braves to maintain a six-game lead.

Tommy Pham was 3 for 4 with a double and two RBIs for St. Louis.

 

Glenwood sweeps Atlantic volleyball Thursday

Sports

August 31st, 2017 by admin

The Atlantic Trojans volleyball team had some good runs on Thursday night against Glenwood but couldn’t sustain momentum and fell in three straight sets.

Untimely errors and some tough breaks led to the Trojan loss.  Glenwood won 25-21, 25-15, 25-10.

Atlantic was in the midst of a nice comeback at the end of set one, when a controversial no-tip call gave Glenwood a winning point. That would be a precursor to how the rest of the night would go. Atlantic had a number of service errors that stymied momentum and to the Rams credit they answered every run the Trojans made.

Rylie Seufert led Atlantic with 6 kills on the night. Atlantic next travels to Coon Rapids for tournament play on Saturday.

CAM hosts Audubon in 8-man football showdown Friday

Sports

August 31st, 2017 by admin

It may only be week two of the high school football season but an 8-man football game in Anita on Friday night will have a playoff game feel. The CAM Cougars play host to the Audubon Wheelers this week and we’ll have coverage of the game on KJAN. The game will be one of the highlight games around the state on Friday night with both teams included in the latest top 10 rankings. Audubon is ranked #3 in both the latest Radio Iowa and AP top ten polls, while the Cougars are #8 in the AP poll.

CAM is already 2-0 on the season with a week zero win over Lenox on the road and a win last week at Murray. The Cougars have a strong core that have been impact players for a number of years now. Quarterback Thomas Hensley has already racked up 3 passing touchdowns and 8 rushing touchdowns on the season. The offensive balance that CAM has been able to show off in the early portion of the season is what concerns Audubon Co-Head Coach Sean Birks. He said the Cougars do a great job of setting things up with their run game and the Wheelers will need to find a way to slow that down first.

Coach Birks was impressed with his team’s ability to stay ahead of the chains in their first game of the season and said that will be a key to success in week two as well.

Audubon is coming off a week one win over Exira-EHK 55-14 and the Wheelers got strong production from their senior leaders. Tyler Reibhoff at quarterback, Nolan Smith at running back, and Josh Lange at receiver get a lot of the attention for the Wheelers but CAM Head Coach Joe Wollum is also worried about their size advantage.

It should be a big game type atmosphere as both sides will likely have large followings at the game and Coach Wollum thinks a game like this early in the season will be valuable experience for his team down the road.

We’ll have coverage of the game on KJAN Friday night. Our weekly pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? airs at 6:00pm followed by the Dvorak Tire and Service Pregame show at 6:30pm, and kickoff is set for 7:00pm in Anita.  Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call on AM1220, FM101.1, online at kjan.com and on the KJAN mobile app. You can also watch live streaming video of the game on KJANTV, just go to our TV page at kjan.com and click play on the video player when the stream begins.

Atlantic ready to open home slate against Shenandoah

Sports

August 31st, 2017 by admin

After an emphatic season opening win at Clarinda the Atlantic Trojan football team will stay home on Friday night to host the Shenandoah Mustangs. Atlantic downed the Cardinals in week one 40-0 and ended up with a running clock in effect in the second half. The Trojans showed off some versatility with five different players reaching the end zone. The scoring method was also diversified with Atlantic hitting pay-dirt on runs, passes, and on defense. Week two brings a new challenge with another Hawkeye Ten opponent, the Shenandoah Mustangs.

The Mustangs dropped their week one contest 55-18 to a solid AHSTW squad.  Despite the loss, Shenandoah running back Mason Silence racked up some solid yards on the ground and Atlantic Head Coach Mike McDermott says the Trojans will need to keep track of where he is on the field.

Similar to Clarinda, the Mustangs like to keep the ball on the ground but Coach McDermott says it’s a different challenge because they run the option. He says his defense will need to be prepared to read each play and execute their responsibilities.

The Trojans will be trying to top their win total from the past two seasons and start 2-0 for the first time since the 2012 season.  Coach McDermott said the team is excited to get to play at the Trojan Bowl and they did some team activities this week to spruce up their home field. He looks forward to having a great crowd to start the home schedule.
