When Mecole Hardman learned of his opportunity to take on a bigger role in his fourth season, his first reaction wasn’t pure joy. After three seasons of playing alongside All-Pro pass catchers in Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, his elevation in the offense comes after the loss of a “once-in-a-generation talent” as he called Hill.
Daniel Lynch was pitching so well into the sixth inning Wednesday night that Royals manager Mike Matheny would’ve left him in the game against Minnesota had the Kansas City offense provided a little more support.
While the host Grain Valley Eagles cruised to an 8-1 Suburban Middle Six victory over William Chrisman Tuesday, the final event of a cold, wet late afternoon showed the competitive drive each team brought to the court.

Fort Osage girls soccer coach Michael Brown is happy his team is going to get a little rest. The Indians appear to deserve it after routing host Raytown 8-0 in a Suburban Middle Six Conference match Tuesday.
SEATTLE — Three-time All-Star reliever Greg Holland was designated for assignment Tuesday by the Texas Rangers after allowing three home runs in his five appearances this season.

Drew McDonald came up big for the Grain Valley baseball team. He allowed just a fifth-inning solo home run to Hayden Klein as he pitched the Eagles to an 8-1 victory over the visiting Park Hill South Panthers Tuesday.
The Truman boys tennis team won four of the six singles matches to claim a 5-2 Suburban Middle Six win over Fort Osage Tuesday. Only the No.
The United States will play Mexico, Jamaica and Haiti in Group A at the CONCACAF W Championship this summer, which will determine qualifiers for the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
