The first round match-ups for the Iowa High School Football Playoffs have been released after regular season play wrapped up Friday night. Follow the links below to see the pairings for each class.
Pittsburgh (AP)- Pittsburgh has listed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger as questionable for Sunday’s game at Kansas City. He was a limited participant in practice for a third straight day while continuing to recover from a strained ligament in his left knee in a game with St. Louis Sept. 27. Landry Jones will start if Roethlisberger doesn’t return.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Lorenzo Cain sprinted home from first base on Eric Hosmer’s single in the eighth inning, Wade Davis weathered a 45-minute rain delay and a white-knuckle ninth, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 Friday night to earn their second straight trip to the World Series.
The victory in Game 6 of the AL Championship Series sent the Royals into the World Series, starting Tuesday night at home against the New York Mets.
After the delay, Cain promptly worked a leadoff walk from closer Roberto Osuna, and Hosmer followed with a clean single that Bautista fielded down the right-field line.
Rather than hit the cutoff man, though, Bautista threw to second to keep Hosmer to a single. That gave the speedy Cain, running full speed the entire way, enough time to beat the relay throw from second base with a textbook slide that ignited a sellout crowd.
Davis retired Josh Donaldson on a grounder with runners on second and third to end it.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin has passed the league’s concussion protocol and should be available for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Maclin was hurt in last week’s loss in Minnesota. He did not work out early in the week while undergoing tests, but returned to practice Friday on a limited basis.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Maclin “has passed everything. We just have to see tomorrow how he feels. But he did, he went through practice today and did a nice job with it.”
Maclin is the Chiefs’ leading receiver with 39 catches for 531 yards and a touchdown. No other wide receiver on the roster has more than eight receptions.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports an arrest Friday of a Stanton man. At approximately 7:50pm deputies arrested 18-year-old Matthew Steven Wood of Stanton following a traffic stop in the 400 block of Broad Avenue in Stanton. Wood was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance and is being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $1,000 bond. The Montgomery County K9 unit assisted deputies with the investigation during the stop.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — The superintendent of Sioux City schools says he won’t block plans by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to hold an event at a district high school. Superintendent Paul Gausman announced Friday that despite complaints and a threatened protest, he won’t stop Trump from using West High School on Tuesday for a campaign event.
The Sioux City Journal reports a 2012 West High graduate organized a petition calling for the district to not allow use of the school for Trump’s event. He’s now planning a protest at the site. Former student Francisco Valadez says Trump shouldn’t be allowed to use the school because of his views on immigration.
Gausman says many candidates have held events at Sioux City schools, so it’s not fair to exclude Trump.
