SURPRISE, Ariz.—The Kansas City Royals this morning announced that Executive Vice President and General Manager&nbsp;J.J. Picollo&nbsp;has agreed to a contract extension, which will run through the 2030 season with a club option for 2031. Additionally, the Royals have exercised Manager&nbsp;Matt Quatraro’s&nbsp;club option for the 2026 season.

“J.J. is one of the top executives in baseball, and I am proud that he’s leading our pursuit of a championship,” said Royals Chairman and CEO&nbsp;John Sherman. “His ability to lead and connect with people, his intellectual curiosity, and his innovative methods of combining the best of traditional scouting and player development with advanced sciences and technologies are driving us toward that ultimate goal.”

Picollo is in his 19th full season with the Royals and his third full season in his current position. He was named the seventh General Manager in franchise history on Sept. 12, 2021&nbsp;and was elevated to his current role a year later. The Royals have hired more than 30 new people in Baseball Operations since he was named Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations in September 2022.

The Royals spent $110M on free agents during the 2023-24 offseason, which was the most among American League teams. That number does not include the extension of&nbsp;Bobby Witt Jr., who in February 2024 signed the biggest contract in franchise history, a 14-year agreement that includes 11 years guaranteed.

Those offseason efforts led the Royals to an 86-76 record in 2024, resulting in a postseason berth and a 30-win improvement from the previous season. They were just the sixth team in the 162-game Era (since 1961) to have a 30-win improvement from one season to the next (excluding shortened seasons). Kansas City’s turnaround led to Picollo finishing as the runner-up in the 2024 Executive of the Year voting.

Since Picollo’s&nbsp;arrival in 2006, the Royals have had 36 different players, coaches or trainers be selected to the All-Star Game, combining for a total of 59 All-Star selections. Of the 21 All-Star players among that group, 11 were originally drafted or signed by the Royals. During the same time, the Royals have produced nine different players who have earned a&nbsp;Rawlings&nbsp;Gold Glove Award, and that group has combined for 23 Gold Gloves. During Picollo’s&nbsp;tenure, the Royals have also had five different players combine for nine Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Awards.

“Leading the Royals’ Baseball Operations is an honor that I take seriously every day,” said Picollo. “Q helps push us in so many ways, particularly with collaboration between departments and constantly seeking new answers so I’m thrilled that he will be with us into the future. John [Sherman]’s confidence in how we operate is humbling, and&nbsp;only adds to our collective focus on adding to what the Royals mean to Kansas City and giving our fans a championship team to root for.”

Quatraro, who finished as the runner-up in the 2024 American League Manager of the Year voting, is entering his third season with the club, after being named the 18th full-time Manager in Royals history on Oct. 30, 2022.

In his second season as Manager last year, he led the Royals to an 86-76 record and their first postseason berth since 2015. The 2024 Royals were the third team in Major League history, according to&nbsp;Elias, to make the postseason following a 100-loss season.

Royals announce contract extension with Executive VP and GM J.J. Picollo

Kansas Wesleyan's eighth consecutive defeat by three points or less was gut-wrenching enough.

The fact that the 83-82 loss to Southwestern on Saturday night inside Mabee Arena eliminated the Coyotes from contention for a berth in the Kansas Conference postseason tournament made it much more difficult.

And the fact that game officials declined to look at a video replay of the controversial final of play of the game then departed without explaining why made it borderline unbearable.

<a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/953e84ce-c526-43a3-bb65-6a0d25ff33c9?elinkdata=19453">Alex Littlejohn's</a> potentially game-winning shot as time expired was blocked by Southwestern's Zach Hidalgo. Controversy immediately arose as it appeared the block came after the shot banked off the backboard which would have been goaltending and would have given KWU the lead/victory.

No call was made, though, and the three officials sprinted out of the arena as soon as time expired opting not to review the play or discuss the matter despite impassioned pleas to do so from KWU coach <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/0c85e965-7def-43d0-bfdf-4d5e7207f930?elinkdata=19453">Anthony Monson</a>.

"Absolutely goaltending in my mind," Monson said. "The kids deserved to see that play reviewed at the very least. I don't why (it wasn't), they ran out of here so fast we couldn't even have that conversation. It's frustrating they wouldn't even take a look at that.

"There are goaltending calls all the time in games that they review to make sure and they didn't do it. These games matter and this knocked us out of the playoffs."

The Coyotes (7-13 KCAC, 12-14 overall) trailed 52-36 at halftime and fell behind by 19 (57-38) early in the second half. Down 70-56 with 12½ minutes left they abruptly came to life with a 16-2 run that tied the game 72-72 with 6:53 remaining.

Southwestern (12-8, 18-8) responded with a 9-3 burst and led 81-75 with 2:35 left but the Coyotes scored the next five on a <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/53f39edd-a300-46bb-a944-bf86c17cacb3?elinkdata=19453">Landon Wagler</a> basket and <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/833dae48-70dc-433d-87a3-78d19a348614?elinkdata=19453">Eric Green's</a> 3-pointer that cut the deficit to 81-80 with 49 seconds left.

After a Southwestern miss Littlejohn gave KWU a brief 82-81 lead with two free throws with 14.0 seconds left but Wyatt Bell's driving layup 4.4 seconds later put the Moundbuilders back on top 83-82. After a timeout Littlejohn got the ball under the basket to the right of the rim. He went up for a contested shot that Hidalgo swatted out of bounds.

"Guys played their tails off the second half, they worked hard, they made the plays they needed to and gave us a chance to win," Monson said. "At the end of the day it's another one-point loss which is frustrating for sure."

Littlejohn was magnificent as always finishing with 28 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals. Freshman <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/1a68bd1e-051b-4ef4-8d37-dbd21ab60606?elinkdata=19453">Carson Jones</a> scored 22 and Wagler 15 as KWU shot 49.2 percent (31 of 63) overall but was 4 of 17 from 3-point range. The Coyotes won the rebounding battle 31-29 and had just four turnovers.

Trey Abasolo led four Southwestern players in double figures with 28 points. The Moundbuilders shot 50 percent (30 of 60) including 8 of 20 from deep and were 15 of 16 at the free throw line. Hidalgo grabbed 15 rebounds.

Coyote Men's Basketball falls in controversial 83-82 game to Southwestern

Kansas Wesleyan Women's Basketball captured its first KCAC regular season championship since the 2020 season on Saturday night as the Coyotes obliterated the Southwestern Moundbuilders 106-54 inside Mabee Arena.

The victory gives the Coyotes a 2-game lead in the conference standings with two games left to play, ensuring KWU no worse than a share of the conference title. KWU heads to Bethany on Wednesday and wraps the regular season at home on Saturday against Ottawa.

After a bit of a slow start, the Coyotes stepped on the gas pedal, nearly driving it through the floorboard midway through the first quarter and didn't let off until the end of the third quarter.

Southwestern was with four points at 17-13 with 4:24 left in the first when the switch flipped for the Coyotes. <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/8f7a2925-5285-4744-b7cc-184eaacaafcd?elinkdata=19484">Angel Lee's</a> bucket with 3:28 left sparked a 14-2 run for the Coyotes capped by <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/5e555268-4015-4681-a324-a90d21cb1eb3?elinkdata=19484">LaMyah Ricks'</a> 3-pointer as time expired to give KWU a 31-16 lead.

Wesleyan pushed the lead out to 17 on free throws by <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/22b793bd-4419-40c5-a9cd-2d5e60c42dc9?elinkdata=19484">Catherine Bowman</a>, but after a Southwestern 3-pointer, it was all Coyotes. KWU held Southwestern to just one point in the final 7:33 of the second quarter while quickly building the lead out to 61-22 at the half. The Coyotes closed the half on a 26-1 run.

Wesleyan's offense didn't slow down in the third quarter either. Wesleyan's last five field goals of the third were all 3-pointers as the Coyotes outscored Southwestern 34-16 in the third to lead 95-38 at the end of the quarter.

The starters didn't touch the floor in the fourth quarter as the Coyotes passed the century mark with 6:32 to go on a bucket by <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/ac3cc3bc-debf-4187-89f6-b1a696f44b2e?elinkdata=19484">Alexis Dixon</a>.

The Coyotes shot 60.9 percent from the field in the first three quarters (39 of 64) and finished 43 of 88 for 48.9 percent for the game. KWU hit 14 3-pointers in the game. Five players reached double figures led by 16 from <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/53e0f584-93ac-4778-86b9-a422bb44d7f9?elinkdata=19484">Paige Chauncey</a>. <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/612b3621-8f8f-4523-a64a-37eda486785e?elinkdata=19484">LaMyah Ricks</a> had a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. KWU had 26 assists on 43 field goals against only 12 turnovers. The Coyotes blasted Southwestern on the boards, outrebounding the Builders 59-29.

Wesleyan's defense was again stellar, holding Southwestern to 29.5 percent shooting and forcing 19 turnovers that led to 23 points.

KWU MVB gets first Heart win in five-set thriller with UHSP

Former Kansas Wesleyan Men's Tennis student-athlete <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/608dfde0-bac6-4555-9b05-c5d6d7526279?elinkdata=19298">Bryce Ware</a> established himself as one of, if not the best tennis players in Kansas Wesleyan's history. He earned NAIA All-America honors and established himself on the national stage in UTSA and ITA competition. He was an outstanding student as well.

Ware, though, has moved on and the Coyotes enter the 2025 season without him and <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/ad645b02-e208-4b88-96bf-7908590edfcb?elinkdata=19298">Alex Sherer</a>, Ware's doubles partner, a highly successful athlete in his own right and now a KWU assistant coach.

Wesleyan was 13-8 overall, 7-4 in the Kansas Conference last season.

Coach <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/ff1cd024-7aad-4558-b2bc-c1d9588772ec?elinkdata=19298">Brian Vancuren</a> is taking a pragmatic approach with the first match of the spring season at Baker approaching Sunday.

"We're honestly just trying to tell the men's team just in general it's going to take everybody to do their part," he said. "Just trying to get the guys to really buy in and really make sure we're locked in for the season. Some guys have got to step up to the plate and pick up the challenge."

The proverbial cupboard is not bare. Four of KWU's top single players return - seniors <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/a13989af-98dd-4fb6-9e18-7c73626f0373?elinkdata=19298">Raul Davalos-Gavino</a> and <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/70e83446-1759-445b-a498-2b92ed39d60d?elinkdata=19298">Luke Craft</a> and juniors <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/5c8f274f-18a1-4d70-bbac-a3879dcd0fc2?elinkdata=19298">Adam Hanson</a> and <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/4465c98d-3108-41f4-bfcc-7343827d5e85?elinkdata=19298">Jacob Phelps</a>.

Davalos-Gavino will move into the No. 1 singles slot.

"We're excited to see what Raul can do for us this year," Vancuren said. "We're expecting some big things from the others who are having to play a little higher up this year."

Vancuren, who is in his second season as men's head coach, is counting on juniors Jack Hansen and <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/dd13db7e-a93b-413b-ad16-8ec3ebf03142?elinkdata=19298">Gavin Chavez</a>, sophomore William McMurray and freshman <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/a599336b-d1bd-4df4-9292-4207c3d95854?elinkdata=19298">Paul Jittawait</a> to contribute as well.

"There's a lot of guys out there that we feel like that could really make it and help us out at the bottom," Vancuren said. "It's just what they're doing in their off time and if they're putting the work in. We've done some challenge matches here lately but I think they're really itching to get back into playing against actual opponents, not their own teammates."

Mother Nature has not cooperated this winter, but the Coyotes have been able to do some work inside at The Pines Tennis Club.

"It's been tough with having two courts indoors but at the same time we're actually very fortunate to still have indoors where a lot of teams haven't had a chance to practice," Vancuren said.

Five Coyotes with experience return. Like the men's team Vancuren must replace last year's No. 1 singles entry <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/f67bfd87-7b82-4696-9475-7e5c97dfc337?elinkdata=19298">Michaela Crowe</a>.

"We basically have five of our six back," Vancuren said. "We brought in a freshman (<a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/d214f95d-8b0b-4734-bc43-328f82807b13?elinkdata=19298">Hayden Bellamy</a> from Colby) that's going to be a very key asset for us moving forward and will be playing our one spot. She had a nice fall for us and showed up in some big matches that we weren't expecting her to be as competitive, but she did a really good job of being very competitive."

The returning players are seniors <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/69b436a1-e430-4823-ac75-f62c76756136?elinkdata=19298">Eliza Camp</a> and <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/8264f53d-579f-46ba-bf82-1c1acb88d4dc?elinkdata=19298">Kristi Henderson</a> and sophomores <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/8914a31a-2462-40c3-8ebd-e1c62840fbd4?elinkdata=19298">McKinnley Evans</a>, <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/8d5a97e7-6623-4d0b-b4da-f2c08482d7c9?elinkdata=19298">Alivia Sherer</a> and <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/419a52f9-6341-46bd-b268-ad3537ba3e0f?elinkdata=19298">Danielle Slack</a>.

"I think a lot of it is maturity," Vancuren said. "It's going to definitely help with them having a year under their belts where they're going to feel a lot more comfortable and know what they're getting ourselves into."

Vancuren has been impressed with the way the women's team has performed in the preseason.

"We've been really working hard with them, and they honestly have bought in really well, this semester especially," he said. "They've been going out there on their own, practicing on their own, doubling up on practice. They're really excited."

Vancuren said it will be business as usual in the conference for the most part.

"McPherson is the preseason favorite for both sides, but Bethel is not too far away from them on both sides," he said. "We actually like our matchups with a lot of the teams, especially on the women's side and even on the men's side where we feel like we could actually make a few upsets as well.

"This is probably the deepest on both sides the conference has ever been, which is a good thing. It's very competitive but it's also very scary where there are no guarantees that you're going to win some of these matches either."

🏀 Madsen scores 24 in Utah win over No. 17 Kansas

PROVO, Utah (AP) — Richie Saunders scored 17 points and grabbed 14 rebounds on Saturday night to help BYU beat Kansas State 80-65 and snap the Wildcats' six-game win streak.

Dallin Hall scored 16 points and Fousseyni Traore 11 for BYU (17-8, 8-6 Big 12). Keba Keita added nine points, 11 rebounds and five blocks.

Egor Demin threw down a dunk that gave BYU the lead for good less than five minutes into the game and sparked a 17-4 run that made it 26-12 about four minutes later. The Cougars led by at least eight point the rest of the way.

CJ Jones made layup for the Wildcats with 7:43 left in the first and half and neither team scored again until Hall's layup with 2:56 to go until halftime that gave BYU a 14-point lead.

Kansas State, which made four of its first 16 shots and at one point missed 10 consecutive field-goal attempts, shot 27% (9 of 33) in the first half.

Dug McDaniel led Kansas State (13-12, 7-7) with 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting, 3 of 7 from 3-point range. Brendan Hausen added 12 points, including three 3s.

The Wildcats lost for the first time since a 70-62 loss at Baylor on Jan. 22, the last in a six-game skid.

Hall hit a 3-pointer to give the Cougars a 22-point lead — their biggest of the game — less than four minutes into the second half. Kansas State responded with an 18-4 run to trim its deficit to 53-45. Saunders answered with a layup and BYU led by double figures for the final 10-plus minutes.

The Southeast of Saline basketball teams were back on the road this Friday as they made the short trip to Minneapolis to tangle with the Lions and Lady Lions

SES battled but Minneapolis would take the girl’s game 47-35 but the Trojans would rout the Lions on the boy’s side 64-38.

Girls: SE of Saline 35, Minneapolis 47

Southeast battled hard to overcome a dismal first quarter, but a 14-5 start for the Lady Lions proved to be too much to overcome as SES dropped just their second game in conference play.

The Lady Trojans cut the lead to seven at halftime but from there, Minneapolis would extend the lead back to 12 and hold on to win by the same margin.

Both teams forced turnovers in bunches, with each side surrendering the ball 17 times before the final whistle.

Baylee Randall-Hurt and Maci McClure each had big nights for Minneapolis, contributing 17 and 14 points respectively.

On the Southeast side Kyiah Samuelson was the only player in double figures, with 12 points, Aba Pearson (8) was the only other Lady Trojan north of five.

With this result SES falls to 13-5 on the year and 8-2 in league play while the Lady Lions improve to 10-6 and 5-4 respectively.

Boys: SE of Saline 64, Minneapolis 38

The boy’s game was rarely in doubt as the Trojans took an 18-12 lead to open the game and steadily built it from there, holding a nine-point advantage at the half and a 13-point edge at the end of the third.

If there were any lingering doubts, they were quickly extinguished in the closing quarter as Southeast exploded, outscoring the Lions 21-8 down the home stretch of this game.

While there were plenty of great SES buckets in this game, none were better than Tiernan Ptacek’s buzzer-beating double-clutch half-court shot to end the first quarter, which sent the traveling Southeast contingent into raptures.

Ball security played a big role in this win for Southeast, who forced 19 turnovers by the final buzzer while surrendering just six turnovers themselves.

Gannon Jacobson (21) led the way for the Trojans on a night where seven different players scored, backed up by Tiernan Ptacek (13), Isaiah Kejr (9), Owen Bailey (8), and Sam Knopf (8).

Owen Just led the Lions in the losing effort but the Trojans made life difficult for the Minneapolis star, holding him to just ten points, and allowing him to score just once in the whole second half.

With this result, SES improves to 9-9 overall and 6-4 in league play while Minneapolis slides to 4-12 and 3-7, respectively.
