KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Wide receiver Kyle Williams has been placed on injured reserve by Kansas City with a torn knee ligament.  Williams tweeted about the injury Friday morning just after the team announced it signed receiver Chad Hall to the 53-man roster and placed Williams on IR. Williams played in 39 games with nine starts in more than three NFL seasons with San Francisco and Kansas City. His only appearance for the Chiefs came in last week’s loss to Denver.

It is the second time he has been sidelined with a torn ACL. Hall has played in 22 games in just over two NFL seasons with the Chiefs and Eagles. He was claimed off waivers on Sept. 1 from the 49ers and played in seven games with Kansas City, making one catch for 9 yards. Hall also returns kicks.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) – Brandon Snyder scored two touchdowns and passed for another and No. 1 Inwood West Lyon routed No. 2 Brooklyn BGM 49-7 Thursday to win the Class A state championship.  West Lyon (14-0) dominated on the ground, outrushing BGM 329-48. Snyder ran for 181 yards on just seven carries and completed 4 of 5 passes for another 110 yards.

BGM (13-1), which had been averaging a class-best 53.9 points, was held without an offensive touchdown. The Bears played most of the game without star running back Jack Kline, who came in with 1,811 yards rushing and 49 TDs. After returning an interception 52 yards for the game’s first touchdown, Kline sprained an ankle making a tackle and did not return.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Donald Stephenson and Geoff Schwartz might as well consider themselves quasi starters the way the two Chiefs offensive linemen have been pressed into service this season. In an ideal world, Stephenson is supposed to be the backup offensive tackle, Schwartz the reserve offensive guard. But injuries to just about everybody on the Chiefs’ already suspect offensive has resulted in each of them playing in every game this season. They could be pressed into service Sunday against San Diego, too.

Right tackle Eric Fisher has been dealing with a shoulder injury and right guard Jon Asamoah some calf spasms and a shoulder injury of his own. If either of them can’t start, it will be up to Stephenson and Schwartz to fill the void.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Philip Jacobson caught four of Trent Solsma’s six touchdown passes and Sioux City Bishop Heelan overwhelmed Washington 47-14 Thursday night to win the Class 3A state championship. Jacobson also ran for a touchdown and intercepted two passes, part of a record-setting performance that gave the top-ranked Crusaders their fourth state title.

Solsma hit on 23 of 30 passes for 453 yards with no interceptions, setting a 3A championship game record for completions and all-class marks for yards and touchdowns. Solsma threw for 301 yards in helping Heelan build a 26-7 halftime lead, forcing No. 6 Washington’s ground-oriented offense out of its comfort zone and ending an 11-game winning streak for the Demons (13-1).

CINCINNATI (AP) — Hallie Christofferson scored 25 points as No. 22 Iowa State used a dominant second half to rout Cincinnati 78-42 on Thursday night. Leading 40-32 with 14 minutes remaining, Iowa State (3-0) scored the game’s next 15 points to extend its lead to 55-32. The Cyclones outscored Cincinnati 44-17 in the second half and have now won their first three games by an average of 27 points apiece.

Iowa State shot 52 percent from the field and was 12-of-24 on 3-pointers. Cincinnati (1-3) shot only 29.6 percent from the floor and just 4-of-20 from behind the 3-point line. Seanna Johnson added 13 points for the Cyclones and Jadda Bukley had 12. Christofferson, who entered the game as the Big 12 Conference’s leading scorer, also grabbed seven rebounds.

Dayeesha Hollins led Cincinnati with 12 points.

Don Bosco, Gilbertville 18, Exira/Elk Horn-Kimballton 14

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Quarterback Jake Hogan scored on a 1-yard run with 1:13 left Thursday to give Gilbertville Don Bosco an 18-14 victory over Exira-EHK and the 8-player state championship. Hogan drove the Dons (14-0) 79 yards in 12 plays for the winning score after their potent offense had been stymied for much of the game.

Hogan then intercepted a pass with 9 seconds left to preserve the first state football title for a school long known for its wrestling program. Exira-EHK (12-1) took a 14-0 halftime lead on long scoring runs by Trey Sander and Drew Peppers.

But Hogan got his team rolling in the second half. He finished with 111 yards on 32 carries while adding 172 yards on 8 of 21 passing.
