- The importance of being No. 1
- Thursday, July 17, 2008
- KANSAS CITY — Luke Hochevar experienced a pitching epiphany last Friday night ... or at least he hopes that’s what it was. “I guess you would say the light came on,” the Royals rookie starter said. But a seven-inning, one-run performance against the Seattle Mariners — baseball’s worst team — won’t justify the start of a Hall of Fame career for Hochevar. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 draft, Hochevar’s first half-season in the big leagues was marked with ups and downs.

- Sunday, July 13, 2008
- Brad Nurski’s putt sat on the outside of the cup on the 10th green before gracefully disappearing for a birdie.
The clutch putt on the first playoff hole at the Fairview Club Championship shifted the pressure back to defending champion Mark Korell, who sank three birdie putts on the final four regulation holes. - DVL shuffle changes football landscape

- Mark Ross wiped the tears from his eyes, momentarily allowing the moonlight over Charger Field in Horton, Kan., to flow into his vision.
That October night, the now-departed Horton senior quarterback left his home field for the final time after a 28-22 loss to Rock Creek in the Class 3A playoffs. A downtrodden team for most of the past two decades ended a magical season without achieving all of its goals. - Johnny Coy headlines all-state selections
- Tuesday, June 24, 2008
- Johnny Coy earned his second straight first-team all-state distinction as an infielder in Class 3, while two other city players made the cut for the first time on the Missouri Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association all-state baseball teams, released today.
Benton junior Austin Garton joins Coy on the Class 3 squad, making the second team as a designated hitter/utility selection. Bishop LeBlond senior Ethan Lueckenhoff made first team infield on the Class 2 squad. - Coy plans to play at Arizona St. no matter what
- Friday, June 20, 2008
- Johnny Coy will play basketball at Arizona State and baseball — somewhere.
A recent seventh-round draft pick of the in Major League Baseball’s first-year player draft, Coy still must decide whether to sign with the Philadelphia Phillies or take Arizona State’s offer of also playing collegiate baseball. That decision will be decided by money.
Brian Kohlscheen, Phillies central regional supervisor, met with the Coy family for the second time this week. In an hour-and-a-half conversation, the Phillies offered $50,000 more than their original offer, but according to Coy’s older brother, Dickie, it’s still not enough to assure the signing. - Nurski advances at Missouri Amateur
- Friday, June 20, 2008
- ST. LOUIS — Brad Nurski misplaced his driver during his morning match at the 101st Missouri Amateur Championship against St. Louis’ Darren Lundgren, then responded with his best golf of the week while his caddie looked for it.
Needing a win in the afternoon to reach the match play quarterfinals for the first time, Nurski was glad to have it back. Nurski won both of his match-play tilts Friday at WingHaven Country Club, the second a 19-hole victory against Mitchell Gregson of Waterloo, Ill.
On the first playoff hole against Gregson, Nurski blistered his drive down the fairway and put the pressure on Gregson, a golfer at Kansas State. Nurski eventually two-putted for par, while Gregson three-putted the win to Nurski. - Missouri All-Stars fall to Kansas

- But Kansas took advantage of two first-half turnovers and built a 10-point halftime lead and held on for a 20-9 victory at Blue Valley Northwest High School in the exhibition presented by the Greater Kansas City Football Coaches Association.
“I didn’t care that we lost; I just had so much fun playing and making so many friends,” said Hill, who will play at Missouri Western next season. - Four locals qualify for Missouri Amateur match play
- Wednesday, June 18, 2008
- ST. LOUIS, Mo. — The putter continued to work for Brian Haskell during Wednesday’s second round of the 101st Missouri Amateur Championship.
If not for a couple of errant shots from his other clubs, the 42-year-old St. Joseph resident might have shared medallist honors. - Locals in the hunt at Missouri Amateur Championship
- Tuesday, June 17, 2008
- ST. LOUIS — All six local golfers competing in the 101st Missouri Amateur Championship have a shot to make it to match play.
But they’re all chasing a player from Kansas. - Local men take swing at Missouri Amateur
- Monday, June 16, 2008
- ST. LOUIS — Brad Nurski’s last major venture turned into a one-stroke disappointment.
The St. Joseph amateur golfer enters this week’s Missouri Amateur Championship knowing the strokes don’t mean everything. The five-day tournament begins today at WingHaven Country Club with the first of two rounds of stroke play.
On Thursday, the field is trimmed to 64 and placed into a match-play bracket. The winner of five 18-hole matches and one 36-hole final will be the champion.
