The Southwest Valley Timberwolves hit a bounty of big plays on Friday night en route to a 48-0 win over the Griswold Tigers. After turning the ball over on downs on the opening possession of the game, the Timberwolves proceeded to score on their next 5 possessions to blow open the game. Southwest Valley had five scoring plays over 45 yards on the night.

Chance Cobb got the scoring started with a 56-yard touchdown pass to Addison Bull followed by a three yard touchdown run on a keeper on the next drive. Cobb hooked up with Grant Maurer for two other touchdown passes of 72 and 46 yards in the second quarter. Maurer would later return a Griswold fumble 82 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to give him three scores on the night.

The rest of the scoring for Southwest Valley came on two Aiden Gaule had touchdown runs of 91 and 14 yards.

Griswold had a 19 play drive end at the 3 yard line at the end of the half as they ran out of time to punch a score in. The Tigers would then put together a 15-play drive to open up the second half only to see that end with the fumble that was returned by Maurer for a touchdown.

The Tigers fall to 1-3 overall and 1-1 in Class A District 7.  The Timberwolves improve to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the district.

CHICAGO (AP) — Kris Bryant had three hits, including his 27th homer, and the Chicago Cubs overcame the ejections of John Lackey and Willson Contreras on their way to an 8-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

Bryant went deep in the fourth and singled twice in Chicago’s seven-run sixth, helping the NL Central leaders open a big weekend series on a winning note. The Cubs moved four games ahead of St. Louis.

Lackey and Contreras were thrown out with Chicago trailing 2-1 in the fifth. But after outscoring the New York Mets 39-14 in a three-game sweep, the Cubs got enough big hits to improve to 9-4 against the Cardinals this year.

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

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jay Bruce hit an RBI double in the 10th inning as the Cleveland Indians rallied for their 22nd straight win, 3-2 over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night. With their first walk-off win in the streak, the Indians remained unbeaten since Aug. 23 and now have the second-longest streak in baseball history, trailing only the 1916 New York Giants’ 26-gamer.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Luke Weaver threw six innings of two-hit ball, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-2. Tommy Pham drove in two runs and stole two bases for St. Louis. The Cardinals have won five of their last six and nine of 12. They are chasing the first-place Cubs in the NL Central and the Rockies in the wild-card standings.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The student meets the teacher on Sunday when Doug Pederson leads the Philadelphia Eagles against Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Reid gave Pederson his first starting job in the NFL and later his first coaching gig, too. Pederson hopes to repay Reid with a loss.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs racked up 537 yards of offense against the New England Patriots. Center Mitch Morse says that game plan won’t matter all that much against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The Chiefs say the Eagles place a priority on the pass rush, while the Patriots often drop linemen into pass coverage. The Chiefs hope to build a reputation of having an offensive line that’s versatile and adaptable. They also want their running game to keep the Eagles off balance.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska believes it can build off the second half of its loss to Oregon when Northern Illinois visits Lincoln. The Cornhuskers have given up more than 1,000 yards in their first two games, but they shut out the Ducks after halftime in a 42-35 loss last week. Northern Illinois will try to beat a Big Ten opponent for the fourth time in five games under coach Rod Carey.
