KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs signed first-round pick Dee Ford putting the final player from this year’s draft class under contract as the team began a three-day rookie minicamp.

Ford played defensive end at Auburn but the Chiefs view him as a pass-rushing outside linebacker, one who can complement Pro Bowl selections Tamba Hali and Justin Houston this season and potentially replace one of them next season.

He was the 23rd overall pick in this year’s draft.

While the Chiefs did not disclose terms of his contract, the current salary structure leaves little room for surprise. All deals for draft choices are four years, and Ford will receive about $8 million total. The Chiefs also hold a fifth year option because he was a first-round pick.

Eight members of the Junction City Lady Jay track team have qualified for the Class 6A competition in the State Track Meet May 30 and 31 in Wichita.

Unfortunately for Junction City, none of the members of the Blue Jay boys track team qualified during the regional meet Friday in Lawrence.

The highest finish for the Blue Jay boys were fifth place finishes by Jeffrey Dorval in the 110 Meter Hurdles in 15.8, Ali Childs in the pole vault with a vault of 11’6, and the 4 x 100 relay team of Trey Mays, Jason Carter, Byrale Carter, and Jovan Baldwin in 44.7.  Only the top four finishers in each of the individual events advances to the state meet.

For the Lady Jays the state qualifiers included the 4 x 800 relay team of Myrissa Humphreys, Deisjambra Bisio, Bri Pace, and Rosie Hollis, who  captured first place in a time of 9:56.2, the 4 x 400 relay team of Humphreys, Bisio, Hollis, and Nashaia Nixon who finished second in 4:08.9, the 4 x 100 relay team of Samonte Jones, Raynell Wilson, Li’Minnie Garrison, and Nashaia Nixon who finished third in 50.5, and Deisjambro Bisio who ran the 400 meters in 1:01.7 to place fourth in that event.

The Junction City Blue Jays ( 9-13 ), play the Manhattan Indians ( 20-2 ), in the first round of the Class 6A State Baseball Tournament Thursday, May 29, at Hoglund Stadium at the University of Kansas in Lawrence.

The game is scheduled at 4 p.m. on the 29th. Junction City is the number eight seed, while Manhattan is the top seed in the tournament.

The same side of the bracket finds Shawnee Mission East ( 17-5 ) playing Maize ( 16-6 ) in the first round.

The other side of the bracket has Washburn Rural ( 19-3 ), against Wichita Northwest ( 12-10 ), and Overland Park – Blue Valley West ( 18-4), will play Overland Park – Blue Valley ( 15-7 ).

The tournament semifinals and finals are Friday, May 30th. The championship game is scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on the 30th.

 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Royals sent third baseman Mike Moustakas to Triple-A Omaha on Thursday in their latest attempt to break one of their franchise cornerstones out of his prolonged slump.

The team announced the move in a brief statement while traveling from Kansas City to Anaheim. The Royals open a three-game series against the Angels on Friday.

Utility man Jimmy Paredes was recalled from Omaha in a corresponding move.

Moustakas had slowly lost playing time to Danny Valencia. The former No. 2 overall pick heads to Omaha toting a .152 average with four homers and 17 RBIs in 40 games.

Moustakas has been the everyday third baseman the past two seasons, but he’s struggled to live up to expectations. He hit.233 with 12 homers and 42 RBIs a year ago.

 

The Junction City Lady Jays fell to Washburn Rural ( 20-2 )  10-0 in the first round of the Class 6A Regional Tournament on Wednesday at Washburn Rural. The game went six innings.

Washburn Rural went on to defeat Lawrence Free State in the tournament championship game 9-2, and clinch a berth in the Class 6A State Tournament.

The Lady Jays ended their softball season with a final record of 5-17.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Highly touted forward Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk has signed to play college basketball at Kansas, adding the talented swingman from Ukraine to what was already a top-10 recruiting class.

The school announced his signing in a statement Wednesday.

The 6-foot-8 forward will be eligible to play this season, even though he won’t turn 17 until June, because he has already completed high school in the Ukraine. But his age also means he will not be eligible for the NBA draft for at least two years because of age requirement rules.

Mykhailiuk shined at the under-16 European championships, averaging 25.2 points and eight rebounds. He also played for the world select team at the Nike Hoops Summit last month.

He joins Cliff Alexander, Kelly Oubre and Devonte Graham in this year’s class.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs have signed quarterback Aaron Murray, their fifth-round pick, leaving only first-round pick Dee Ford among their unsigned players from this year’s draft.

The Chiefs announced the signing Wednesday. They open a three-day rookie minicamp Saturday.

Murray was considered a first-round talent a year ago, but he had this past season cut short by a torn ligament in his knee. The former Georgia star is also considered small for the position, standing 6-foot and weighing about 200 pounds.

Still, the Chiefs believe Murray could push second-year pro Tyler Bray for the No. 3 job, and perhaps even supplant Chase Daniel as the backup to starter Alex Smith.
