Lawrence delegation received warm welcome to Algeria as part of World Cup friendship

The last World Cup match in Kansas City was held nearly four months ago, but the positive feelings remain. Organizers have shared some bullish numbers about the impact locally, including 680,000 visitors to Kansas City and direct spending of $570 million during the World Cup. The goodwill created has certainly continued as England made a great impact on the citizens of Prairie Village, where the “Three Lions” had their base camp during the World Cup. And the friendship between Algeria and the city of Lawrence, which hosted the “Desert Foxes” during the tournament, has endured. The Algerian government invited a delegation from Lawrence to visit their country, and that contingent received a warm welcome Monday when they arrived. Among the members in the group are Lawrence Mayor Brad Finkeldei, police officers Dave Ernst and Meghan Bardwell, members of the University of Kansas community, including several members of the band, faculty and staff, and others. Members from Elkader, Iowa, which boasts being the only town in the United States to have a sister city in Algeria, also made the trip. Media members in Algeria shared photos and video of the Lawrence delegation, getting to Algiers, the capital. Elizabeth Aubin, a former

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.”

KU flips cornerback Northcutt for 2027 class but loses linebacker recruit to LSU

The Kansas football team added a cornerback to its 2027 class on Saturday morning by flipping Dylan Northcutt from Syracuse. Northcutt announced the move on Instagram. He is the first player at his position in the class and the second overall defensive back after safety Braiden Graves of Cypress, Texas. He had visited KU and Syracuse in quick succession before initially picking the Orange back in June, but that decision lasted less than five months before he made the move to join the Jayhawks after all.
