KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)– The Kansas City Chiefs had been in the same position twice before this season, trying to hold onto a dwindling fourth-quarter lead inside Arrowhead Stadium. This time, they managed to do it. Alex Smith calmly led the Chiefs downfield in the closing minutes, hitting Chris Conley with a short touchdown toss, and Kansas City held off the ailing Pittsburgh Steelers 23-13 on Sunday to snap a five-game skid with its first home victory this season. “Not much different than the other two games, to be honest,” Smith said of the losses to Denver and Chicago. “A…

By Chris Kutz, K-State Athletics Communications LUBBOCK, Texas – K-State used its offense early and defense late to earn its second straight road win with a sweep of Texas Tech (25-20, 26-24, 25-19) on Saturday at the United Supermarkets Arena. The Wildcats (12-8, 4-4 Big 12) had 36 of its 49 kills over the first two sets, including 17 in the first when it hit .389, while six blocks in the third limited the Red Raiders (13-9, 2-6 Big 12) to a .024 clip in the set and under .200 for the match (.178).

AUSTIN, Tex — For a while, it looked like Kansas State may get boat-raced for a second straight week. Considering the weather conditions, it would have been fitting. To the Wildcats’ credit, they refused to give in to Texas like they did to Oklahoma a week earlier. But a lack of offensive firepower proved costly once again as K-State fell to 3-4 on the season with a 23-9 loss to the Longhorns on Saturday afternoon. With multiple chances to tie the game in the 4th quarter, the Wildcat offense, aside from Charles Jones, was inept. Jones finished with 122 yards…

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas officials are considering tougher penalties for people who chronically exceed water supply consumption limits or don’t report how much water is pumped from wells. Susan Metzger, assistant secretary of the state Department of Agriculture, talked about changing penalties Thursday before an interim legislative committee. She said the $250 fine for not reporting water use wasn’t much of a deterrent. She said overdrawing water for a year gets a written notice. Metzger said the department hasn’t determined how much penalties would rise, or when it would take effect. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports talk of harsher penalties comes…
KANSAS CITY, Mo.(AP)– Lorenzo Cain raced in from the outfield about as fast as he had raced around the bases, hurrying to join the rest of the Kansas City Royals as they streamed onto the diamond in celebration. There was Eric Hosmer, hugging anyone in sight. And curmudgeonly manager Ned Yost, finally cracking a smile. And stoic closer Wade Davis, who let out a fierce roar Friday night when the Royals recorded the final out in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series, a white-knuckle, 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. A win that returned the Royals to…
