Big Ten is going to give fall football a shot after all. Less than five weeks after the conference announced it would push football and other fall sports to spring because of the pandemic, the conference changed course. The Big Ten plans to begin its season the weekend of Oct. 24 with an eight-game schedule for each team. The Big Ten says its Council of Presidents and Chancellors voted unanimously to restart sports. Back in August, the conference voted to postpone fall sports.
The Missouri Valley boys and AHSTW girls took team titles at the AHSTW Cross Country Meet on Tuesday in Avoca. Cole Dooley of Treynor won the boys individual title and Courtney Sporrer of Logan-Magnolia won the girls race.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Christian Yelich broke out of his slump with a home run and three hits, Ryan Braun also went deep and the Milwaukee Brewers romped to an 18-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. Keston Hiura and Daniel Vogelbach also homered for the Brewers. Well after the game was out of hand, both managers were ejected following a catcher’s interference call on Yadier Molina that led to a tense confrontation in front of the Brewers’ dugout. Milwaukee jumped on St. Louis early, a night after the teams combined for only eight runs in splitting a doubleheader in which both games went to extra innings.
DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera hit a homer and a double to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals 6-0. Matthew Boyd bounced back with a strong performance, throwing five-plus scoreless innings and giving up just two hits. Boyd allowed seven runs over three-plus innings in his previous start as Milwaukee beat Detroit 19-0 last week. Jakob Junis started in place of Danny Duffy, who missed the team’s flight to Detroit. Junis gave up five runs and seven hits. Detroit had lost three straight and 10 of 13 games. Kansas City had won six straight.
NEW YORK (AP) — Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are on top of the first AP Pro32 poll of the season. Fellow AFC contender Baltimore followed at No. 2. NFC powers New Orleans, Seattle and Green Bay rounded out the top five. The Chiefs have been riding high since winning the Super Bowl in February and opened the 2020 season with a win over the Houston Texans. Baltimore began with a rout of the Cleveland Browns. Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers debuted in the poll at No. 14 in Brady’s first season outside New England.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire showed the NFL that his skill set translates quite nicely to the sped-up world of pro football. The first-round pick ran 25 times for 138 yards, highlighted by a 27-yard touchdown scamper, in leading Kansas City to a 34-20 victory over Houston last week. And while he failed to catch a pass, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes targeted him twice in a sign of just how comfortable he is in the passing game. Now, the challenge for Edwards-Helaire will be to show that he can put together those kinds of performances on a week-to-week basis.

The Atlantic Activities Department has released details on attendance to the Atlantic vs. Clarinda football game this Friday that is now being played in Glenwood. There will be no limitations on number of fans and tickets will be sold at the gate. There will be some seating requirements and other protocols in place and you can see all the details in the document below.
The Exira-EHK Spartans football team was scheduled to head to Woodbine this Friday night but that game has now been cancelled.
A letter from Superintendent Trevor Miller says, “The Exira-EHK Community School District has learned that there are four individuals in our school district that have been exposed to COVID-19 and have been placed in quarantine for 14 days. Our administrative team and nurses have done an amazing job of reaching out to Local Public Health with contact tracing and have notified the individuals we know who have been exposed and are using the 14 days quarantine guidance from Public Health for exposure. We are constantly in communication with public health and are following their guidance.”
The Spartans believe that they will be able to be back in action for their September 25th game at West Harrison/Whiting. Woodbine has found another opponent for this week. The Tigers will now host Newell-Fonda.
The Nodaway Valley Wolverines are searching for a new Week 4 football opponent. The Wolverines’ game at Ogden scheduled this Friday night has been cancelled. Nodaway Valley officials said they are searching for a possible alternate opponent and will announce those details if and when that is possible. The Wolverines are 1-3 on the season so far.
This is the second game in the area that has been called off this week. Greene County announced over the weekend that their homecoming game against Des Moines Christian has been cancelled and they are also searching for an alternate opponent.
