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

UNDATED (AP) — People familiar with the deal tell The Associated Press that Adam Wainwright’s contract with the St. Louis Cardinals has been put on hold because it violates the maximum-cut rule. The pitcher will have to become a free agent before the agreement can be finalized. St. Louis announced the deal with the 37-year-old right-hander on Oct. 11. He was earning $19.5 million annually, and the new contract guarantees less than $15.6 million. That’s too big of a pay cut under baseball’s labor contract.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have already proven they can outscore just about anybody. Their defense continues to struggle at the other end of the field. Their latest letdown came last Sunday in New England, when the Patriots went downfield in the final minutes to set up a winning field goal.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Bengals bring one of the NFL’s worst defenses to Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night to face the high-flying Kansas City Chiefs. They also bring an ailing defense. That should only make it tougher to slow down Patrick Mahomes and Co. The Bengals are coming off a loss to Pittsburgh while Kansas City lost for the first time last week in New England.

The AHSTW Vikings (8-0, 4-0) football team will clash with the St. Albert Falcons (5-3, 4-0) on Friday night with the Class A District 9 title on the line. We’ll have coverage on KJAN as the Vikings look to remain unbeaten and carry strong momentum into the playoffs next week. AHSTW has been strong on both sides of the ball this season and St. Albert Head Coach Pat Ryan had high praise for the Vikings.

Blake Osbahr has thrown for 1,608 yards and 25 touchdowns for the Vikings and Gabe Pauley has been a stalwart in the backfield, rushing for 1,164 yard and 18 scores. Coach Ryan said the Falcons will just hope to slow the Vikings down a bit to have a chance late in the game. The Falcons need the win to get in to the playoff field and Coach Ryan said his team is excited for the challenge.

The Falcons have seen a young, inexperienced squad improve as the season has moved along and AHSTW Head Coach Davis Pattee said they have a lot of weapons to contain.

A district title and an undefeated regular season would certainly be a great accomplishment, but Coach Pattee said they don’t need to dwell on those things with larger goals in mind.

The Vikings and Falcons are set for a 7:00pm kickoff in Avoca and our pregame coverage will begin at 6:30pm.  Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the call on-air, online, on the web app, and live streaming video on our Facebook page. Tune in before the game for our weekly pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? at 6:00pm and stay tuned after the game as well for all the scores from around the state on the Iowa High School Scoreboard Show from 10:00pm-11:30pm.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association has stated they hope to release a list of playoff qualifiers in each class by midnight, with brackets and pairings being released early Saturday morning.
