OAKLAND | Jamaal Charles broke a 44-yard run and, yes, reached the end zone on the ground for Kansas City's first rushing score of the season. The Chiefs were the last NFL team to score their first rushing TD, but now that streak is broken. Kansas City hopes an imperfect first half, in which the Chiefs hold a 13-10 lead, might be the start of their second victory of the season.
ST. JOSEPH | Matt Ziesel doesn’t stray far from coach Dan McCamy on the sidelines during St. Joseph Benton High School’s freshman football games. He likes to stay within earshot.
When it comes to preventing ACL injuries, LESS may be more. The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) has been by developed by Darin Padua, director of the Sports Medicine Research Laboratory at University of North Carolina, as a predictive tool in the prevention of ACL injuries.

LAWRENCE | For all the underachievement and disappointment in the Big 12 North this season, at least the division will be spared a final indignity.

The most dangerous team in the state began this season with new faces in glamour positions while its best player — a pint-sized tough guy — walked around the practice field in street clothes. At that time, its head coach laughed at the thought that he might be a sadist for enjoying being around these guys so much. Then two games in, this team goes to Hutchinson and gets the blue and white kicked out of it. Those qualifications don’t exactly strike fear in opponents. And certainly not the beginning you would have expected from tradition-rich Rockhurst. But flash ahead to Friday night — the Hawklets look nothing like the team they were a couple of months ago. While blowing out Liberty 35-14 in a Class 6 sectional playoff game and setting up a classic Rockhurst-Blue Springs grudge match, the Hawklets looked like the team they grew to be: the most dangerous team in the state.

To win a championship, you need everything to fall in place because the best regular season team doesn’t always come out on top in league playoffs. It takes more than sitting on a roster full of elite players, as some of these players could be resting when Super Bowls are played.
