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.
