Hometown sports hero chosen for Country Club Plaza lighting on Thanksgiving

One Royals player will hear cheers later this month from a Kansas City crowd. But the scene will be at the Country Club Plaza instead of Kauffman Stadium. Royals catcher Carter Jensen was chosen to flip the switch for the annual lighting of the Country Club Plaza on Thanksgiving night. That is the unofficial start of the Christmas season in Kansas City, and who better to take part in one of the town’s beloved traditions than Jensen? He starred at Park Hill High School before being chosen in the third round of the 2021 MLB Draft. Jensen, who completed his first full season with the Royals in September, is a finalist for a Silver Slugger award at catcher. He had 27 home runs, 35 doubles, 80 runs scored and 81 RBIs for the Royals. Jensen finished third in bWAR among Royals players this season. “From the baseball diamond to the Plaza Lights ⚾️✨,” the Plaza wrote in an Instagram post. “We’re excited to announce Kansas City Royals catcher and hometown star Carter Jensen will have the honor of flipping the switch at the 97th Annual Plaza Lighting Ceremony! Born and raised in Kansas City, Carter is bringing his hometown pride

Kansas suffers potentially demoralizing loss in defeat against UCF

LAWRENCE — For a moment, there was hope. While UCF was ruled to have scored a touchdown with little time remaining in the fourth quarter, officials were reviewing to see if it should be overturned or not. The replay led some in the stadium to wonder if what had initially been ruled a catch might instead be an incomplete pass. It would have been the second time a touchdown by the Knights was overturned on that drive alone. If the review went that way. But, instead, the touchdown was upheld and UCF was able to tie the score. The Knights then hit the extra point, going up 33-32 — the score Kansas would lose by on Saturday, Nov. 7. The Jayhawks' attempt to score on the ensuing kickoff failed as time ran out. Now, the Jayhawks (3-6, 1-5 in Big 12 Conference) are having to grapple with the reality their season is trending toward being a third-straight under coach Lance Leipold without a bowl appearance. RELATED: Kansas football vs UCF final score, highlights from Big 12 matchup “We’re not out of that yet, but I would say this, that we’re going to continue to fight and go,” said Leipold, who

Kansas’ chances of a postseason berth took a significant hit when the Jayhawks let an eminently winnable game slip away on the road at TCU.

Now KU has little wiggle room with which to operate, as it sits at 3-5 heading into a home matchup with UCF, set for Saturday at 2:45 p.m. “We definitely want to make a bowl game,” cornerback Roman Pearson said. “We want to win every game from here on out. Again, just focusing on the little things each and every week and doing our job the best we can, not worrying about outside things is going to help us.”

He is the first player at his position in the class and the second overall defensive back after safety Braiden Graves of Cypress, Texas.

Cooper's penalty gives the Current a 1-0 extra time quarterfinal win over Angel City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Michelle Cooper converted a penalty kick in extra time to give the Kansas City Current a 1-0 victory over Angel City on Sunday in the quarterfinals of the National Women’s Soccer League playoffs. The fourth-seeded Current will face the winner of Sunday’s quarterfinal between No. 1 Gotham FC and No. 8 Seattle Reign FC in a semifinal match next weekend. Kansas City, the only NWSL team to finish the regular season unbeaten at home, extended that run into the playoffs. Angel City goalkeeper Angelina Anderson made five saves in regulation. Four minutes into extra time, Kansas City defender Izzy Rodriguez sent in a corner kick. Before the ball went over the crossbar, Current defender Kayla Sharples went to the ground near the goal line after contact with Anderson and midfielder Ary Borges. Kansas City was awarded the penalty, and Cooper converted. The teams combined for 25 fouls. Fifth-seeded Angel City drew three yellow cards in regulation, the first in the 13th minute when Sveindís Jónsdóttir slid into Gabrielle Robinson from behind as the Kansas City defender shielded the ball near her end line. Borges drew the second yellow in the 58th minute when her cleat
