TMP-Marian boys soccer upsets top-seeded Golden Tornado

Posted on

COFFEYVILLE, Kan. – The TMP-Marian boys soccer set the tone early with a first half goal and pulled off a huge upset with a 3-0 win over Field Kindley Thursday night.

The eighth-seeded Monarchs improve to 8-7 with the win and advance to the 4-3-2-1A state quarterfinals where they will play Topeka Hayden next Thursday.

Logan Shaw scored 15 minutes into the match on a pass from Sheldon Weber to give the Monarchs what proved to be the game winning goal. Ethan Brummer made it 2-0 with a goal from 25 yards out in the 27th minute. Weber found Shaw again with nine minutes to play to close out the scoring and put the match away.

Bobby Cox had eight save in goal.

No. 1 Kansas shoots past Hornets

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Redshirt junior transfer Dedric Lawson made his Kansas debut one to remember as the Jayhawks opened exhibition play against Emporia State Thursday night, defeating the Hornets, 93-55, inside Allen Fieldhouse. Lawson led all scorers with a 31-point, 15-rebound effort as KU opened up its exhibition campaign.

It was an impressive effort from the opening jump as Lawson scored the first 10 points for the Jayhawks, hitting on his first 3-point shot three minutes into the game. The Memphis native was just getting started as he also recorded a double-double before the first half ended with 14 points and 12 rebounds in the opening stanza.

The Jayhawk defense was stifling, as KU held the Hornets to an 8-for-38 shooting mark in the first half. KU also used a 13-0 run to build the halftime lead, thanks in part to the quick hands of Quentin Grimes, who blocked a shot which led to a layup on the other end for the true freshman. The Jayhawks ended the half on a good note as redshirt sophomore Charlie Moore hit three 3-pointers of his own, hitting on one with a minute remaining.

Kansas stretched its lead in the second half with a pair of 3-pointers from Lagerald Vick and K.J. Lawson to increase the lead to 56-31 with 12 minutes left.

Junior Udoka Azubuike brought the crowd to their feet with the only dunk of the game: a two-handed, rim-rattling dunk over an Emporia State defender for his first point which charged up the Jayhawk offense. Dedric Lawson and David McCormack added layups before Emporia State kicked into gear.

With five minutes remaining, Dedric Lawson hit his second 3-pointer of the night with Grimes adding one himself. Freshman Ochai Agbaji hit two consecutive 3-pointers to close out the game, extending the lead to 38 and locking down the victory.

Dedric Lawson led all scorers with 31 points and 15 rebounds, shooting an explosive 68 percent from the field. Grimes added 10 points with Dotson pouring in eight. Vick and K.J. Lawson both scored seven apiece, with Vick dishing out five assists on the night.

Perez, Gordon finalists for Gold Glove Awards

Click HERE for a complete list of finalists.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Newell Brands, announced today that two Kansas City Royals – left fielder Alex Gordon and catcher Salvador Perez – have been named finalists for 2018 American League Rawlings Gold Glove Awards.

Since 2011, Gordon and Perez have accounted for nine of the Royals’ 14 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards, which are the most by any team in the Majors during that span. That includes Rawlings Gold Glove Awards in four consecutive seasons for both Gordon (2011-14) and Perez (2013-16). Gordon also received the honor last season. Kansas City is the only American League team with at least one Rawlings Gold Glove winner in each of the last seven seasons (2011-17).

Rawlings also announced that winners will be revealed on Sunday, November 4 at 8 p.m. CT, during a special edition of “Baseball Tonight – The 2018 Rawlings Gold Glove Award Announcement Show,” which will air on ESPN. The Rawlings Gold Glove Awards honor the best individual fielding performances at each position in the American League and National League, as voted by Major League managers and coaches.

Gordon, whose nine outfield assists were three behind the American League lead, is attempting to win his sixth Rawlings Gold Glove Award (2011-14, ‘17), while he was also the RawlingsPlatinum Glove winner in 2014. The only other Royal to win more Rawlings Gold Glove awards was eight-time winner Frank White (1977-82, ’86-87). Alex is one of two players to be named a finalist for a Rawlings Gold Glove Award each year since Rawlings started naming finalists in 2011, along with St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina. Should he win, Gordon would break a tie with Jason Heyward (a National League finalist in right field) for the second most Rawlings Gold Glove Awards by an outfielder among active players, trailing only Ichiro Suzuki (10). The other left field finalists for this season are Boston’s Andrew Benintendi and the Yankees’ Brett Gardner.

Perez threw out 24 would-be base stealers in 51 attempts (47.1%), tied for the second most in the Majors. He’s the seventh player since 1913 to record zero errors in at least 96 starts behind the plate, joining: James McCann (2015), Chris Snyder (2008), Chris Iannetta (2008), Mike Matheny (2003), Charles Johnson (1997) and Buddy Rosar (1946). Perez is up for a fifth Rawlings Gold Glove Award in six seasons and is just the second Royals catcher to earn the honor, joining Bob Boone (1989). Should he win, Perez would become one of seven catchers to win at least five Rawlings Gold Gloves, joining: Iván ‘Pudge’ Rodríguez (13), Johnny Bench (10), Yadier Molina (8), Boone (7), Jim Sundberg (6) and Bill Freehan (5). Other finalists include Cleveland’s Yan Gomes and Houston’s Martin Maldonado.

Following the ESPN announcement telecast, voting for the Rawlings Platinum Glove Award presented by SABR will begin at www.rawlings.com. The public can weigh in as to who is the “Finest in the Field” in both leagues, selecting one player from each league’s Gold Glove Award winners. A combination of the international vote and the SABR Defensive Index will determine who takes home the honor of each league’s top defensive player. The Rawlings Platinum Glove Award winners will be unveiled during the 2018 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards Ceremony presented by Gold Sport Collectibles on Friday, November 9.

Kansas to hold De Sousa out pending investigation

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Kansas forward Silvio De Sousa, whose name has surface as part of the FBI’s investigation into corruption in college basketball, will be withheld from competition pending a review of his eligibility.

Jayhawks coach Bill Self said in a statement before appearing at the Big 12’s annual media day Wednesday that the sophomore forward would be held out beginning with Thursday’s exhibition game.

During the trial of former Adidas executive James Gatto, ex-AAU coach T.J. Gassnola testified that he facilitated payments to De Sousa’s guardian in an attempt to steer him toward Kansas.

Gassnola denied that the Jayhawks’ coaching staff knew about the payments.

De Sousa graduated from IMG Academy last December and joined the Jayhawks for the spring semester, providing valuable interior depth as the school made a run to the Final Four.
