OU baseball signs Belton outfielder

Ottawa University baseball signed Belton High School senior outfielder Cole Horn.

“Cole played at Ottawa University back in the fall with Terry Harris’ high school showcase team and we noticed him at that time. He really stood out among the others that were here from pregame in and out and throughout the game,” Ottawa coach Joe Reed said. “Cole has the ability to get on base, run, disrupt the defense and leaves nothing out there when game is over.”  

Horn plans to major in exercise science.



Emmitt Thomas returns to K.C.


KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Emmitt Thomas, a Hall of Fame cornerback for Kansas City’s Super Bowl teams in the late 1960s, is returning to the Chiefs as defensive backs coach.

Thomas played cornerback for the Chiefs from 1966-78 and is still their all-time leader with 58 interceptions. A five-time Pro Bowler, Thomas was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008.

 He spent the past eight years as an assistant coach with Atlanta. He was the Falcons’ interim head coach for the final three games in 2007. Before that, he was defensive coordinator for Minnesota, Green Bay and Philadelphia.

The Chiefs also announced Monday that they have added Bernie Parmalee as tight ends coach, and Otis Smith as head of defensive quality control.
