MCPHERSON – There was a familiar sight with McPherson Bullpups baseball team at the end of Saturday night, but this time, however, it was the 16 and under summer team that turned in the familiar sight as the Bullpups defeated the Wichita Raiders 7-5 in the title game of the Kaiden Schroeder Memorial Tournament at Grant Sports Complex.

Sporting Kansas City (3-9-4, 13 points) slipped to a 2-1 loss against the New England Revolution (5-5-4, 19 points) on Sunday afternoon at Children’s Mercy Park. Captain Johnny Russell treated a sold-out crowd to the game’s best moment early in the second half, bagging a brilliant free kick for his 50th career Sporting goal in all competitions, but New England claimed victory behind goals in either half from Gustavo Bou and Emmanuel Boateng.

Dayton Moore has always been a vocal opponent of purposefully tanking a season for his Kansas City Royals. The former general manager, who is now the team’s president, has refused to sell off his roster in order to have the worst record and nab the top pick in the following summer’s Major League Baseball draft.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Patrick Mahomes walked onto the field for the start of the Kansas City Chiefs’ mandatory three-day minicamp with his right tackle standing off to the side in a bucket hat and his Pro Bowl left tackle nowhere to be found. Lucas Niang was present but didn’t work out as he continues to recover from knee surgery. Missing entirely was Orlando Brown Jr., who has yet to sign his franchise tender. The Chiefs and the Pro Bowler are working on a long-term deal and both sides are optimistic that it will get done before the July 15th deadline.
