Figuring it out I n week 3 of the high school baseball season, I witnessed a rarity for my time in Hays.

Usually at this point — six games in — for the Hays High School baseball team, we’re thinking about how dominant one, or even two, of the Indians’ pitchers are.

Or, how one or two in the lineup are tearing things up offensively.

But this year is a little different. No one is really dominating for the Indians, and the young team has made a lot of errors.

At least that was the case in the Indians’ 1-5 start.

But it’s not as though this baseball team is just terrible. The first 10 or so games usually are spent finding the right combination for a young team. And it’s usually about this For starters point in the year — the games leading up to and including the upcoming Western Plains Diamond Classic — that the Indians find out what they’re made of.

Even the Indian teams of the past that have dominated early in the season, it’s not until this point when Hays High puts itself through a true test — in tournament form.

The Western Plains Diamond Classic has usually provided Hays High with a platform to test its pitching depth — something early this season longtime coach Frank Leo admitted was an issue.

At the same time, the upcoming two weeks it seems usually are when the Indians have someone step up and become a determining factor for the rest of the season. Though that’s not always the way it works, this year that will clearly be the case. The Indians are fairly inexperienced at the varsity level, but no doubt could still make a run at the postseason. For one, Hays High is playing host to what is now a Class 4A Division I regional. It was determined early Indian Field would be the location. Even if — though it seems unlikely — Hays High enters the field with just one win out of 20 games, you just can’t count out a team with so much tradition on its side. For years, Leo has been saying it’s all about how the team is playing in game No. 21 (first game in the regional), and it’s all about building up to that.

While a rare 1-5 start might seem disappointing, it seems inevitable that at some point in the season, likely the upcoming week or two if it hasn’t happened already, that someone will step up and help Hays High build momentum to at least get the Indians in a position they want to be.

Notable performances in northwest Kansas Kylee Martin

A junior for the Colby High School softball team, the pitcher moved to 2-0 in the circle, part of the Eagles’ 4-0 start in mid-April. In the season-opener against Ulysses, Martin pitched five innings of hitless ball, struck out six and walked two. Then against TMP on April 13 in Hays, Martin threw seven innings, giving up one earned run on four hits with eight strikeouts and three walks.

Through her 2-0 start, she had a 0.58 Earned-run average, and was the Eagles’ second-best hitter with a .538 average with three RBIs and five runs scored.

Estefania Lopez

The Fort Hays State University junior from Spain didn’t take long during the outdoor season to make her name known. In the second outing of the spring at Emporia State University, Lopez uncorked a javelin throw of 169 feet, 7.25 inches to set the new program record by nearly nine feet. The throw at the time was also the top throw in the nation. A week later, Lopez again earned a win, taking first place at the KT Woodman Classic at Wichita’s Cessna Stadium at 166-1. Lopez is a transfer from the University of Valencia in Spain.

Luke Schemm

Just one meet into the 2015 track and field season and Schemm, a junior from Wallace County High School in Sharon Springs, already was in mid-season form. The high-jumper — also part of the Wildcats’ 1A Division II state basketball championship this winter —set a new school record in the high jump at 6 feet, 8 inches. The mark was the top in the state at the time, regardless of classification, and it was four inches higher than his fourth-place jump last season at the 1A state finale in Wichita.

EYES

WaKEENEY — Two WaKeeney-Trego Community High School golfers have different memories of last year’s Class 2A state tournament, played at Fort Hays Municipal Golf Course in Hays. First, there is current junior Dion Reetz, who shot 73 to finish in fourth place.

“For the most part last year, I couldn’t have done any better,” Reetz said.

Then, there is current sophomore Emmit Owens, who shot 86 to finish in a tie for 38th. Owens felt a little bit of pressure last season to perform as a freshman, and none more so than in the season finale.

His only regret was leaving too much out on the course, as the Golden Eagles would end up taking third as a team, finishing four strokes shy of state champion hotos Olpe High School and two strokes shy of state runner-up and story Sterling High School.

“It was fun, but I didn’t play by ustin well. It was pretty frustrating,” olbert Owens said. “I wish I could have done better. But only losing by four to first really kind of frustrated me because I knew I could have done better and put us in first. But I was satisfied we got third at least.”

Trego’s third-place finish at state in 2014 was a step back from its Class 1A state championship in 2013. Played at the Emporia Municipal Golf Course, the Golden Eagles won the tournament by 23 strokes over Olpe, led by the 77 of then-freshman Reetz, who took fifth as an individual.

“I didn’t think I could pull anything off like that. But then I just kept getting better throughout the year and kept on practicing and pulled out a good score that day,” Reetz said in reflection of their state title run two years ago.

“I appreciate that now more that I’m older.

It was just a really cool experience during

that time. And it still is to look back and say that I did that.”

Reetz and fellow junior Tanner Townley are the only ones left from that state title team in 2013, Townley having shot 111 that day to finish as Trego’s sixth-best golfer, a number he matched at state last spring in Hays.

While Trego doesn’t have the depth in 2015 at it had in the past, notably during its most recent state title, Reetz and Owens give the Golden Eagles a pair of individual state title hopefuls, especially with the defending 2A state champion, Ellis High School’s Skyler Tebo, having PAGE 8 graduated.

“Our golf program is a program that’s had a lot of success in years and it’s been very steady. From year to year you can usually always count on Trego golf hopefully qualifying for state and competing down there,” said first-year Trego golf coach Lance Ziegler. “We do have a couple of guys that can obviously compete for being in the top five places in the state. If it’s the right day and they’ve got their A-game and they are playing their best, I think they can play with anybody.”

Ziegler takes over for Mark Pfannenstiel, who was forced to step away from coaching due to health concerns.

While Ziegler, an avid golfer, is in his first season coaching the sport, the concept of coaching is nothing new to him.

Born and raised near WaKeeney, Ziegler graduated from high school in 1998 before attending Fort Hays State University, where he graduated with a degree in elementary education in 2003. He originally went to FHSU for track, but only spent one season in

the Tigers’ program before putting his focus on academics.

After graduating from Fort Hays, Ziegler returned home to WaKeeney, where he has been ever since, teaching, coaching, and operating a small farm outside of town during the summer.

“One of the reasons I went into teaching and coaching is because I knew it would work well with farming on the side,” said Ziegler, who teaches junior high language arts. “I’m real familiar with the area, with the people. I wouldn’t want to raise a family anywhere else, even if I had the opportunity to. I really like the community, like the people, and just enjoy it here.”

Ziegler wasn’t hired full time straight out of college, instead spending a couple of years as a substitute, which allowed him to jump head first into coaching. At Trego, he has been an assistant football, basketball and track coach over the years, including a sixyear stint as the head basketball coach, during which he also served as the school’s athletic director.

He recently decided to take a step back from coaching, giving him more time to dedicate to the farm and his three daughters, ages 3, 6 and 9. But when Pfannenstiel had to step down and Ziegler was asked to coach golf, it made too much sense not to.

“I never really thought about coaching it much until they asked me to do it. I’m kind of an avid golfer,” Ziegler said. “In the spring when the weather gets nice and when I’m done teaching for the day, I usually come out and golf anyways. So I figured I was going to be out here anyways, why not just go ahead and coach golf? So I went in and took it on and I’ve really enjoyed it so far.”

Ziegler knows he inherits a tradition-rich program, which also won state titles in 2006 and 2008. But Trego hasn’t had an individual state champion since 1984, something he believes both Reetz and Owens are in a position to change should the cards fall in the right places.

“Every time I’m out here and was out

here during the summer, I was rarely out here and I didn’t run into them somewhere on the course. They just eat, sleep, drink, and breathe golf.

They love the game,” Ziegler said.

“With those two, if they consistently do what I would expect them to do all year, hopefully shoot in the 70s consistently all year, honestly if we can get just two or three other kids to improve their game enough, I honestly think we can compete for the top three spots at their regional and state level.”

While Reetz has been the team’s best golfer at state the last two seasons, it’s not to say Owens can’t get the better of him from time to time. When both players medaled at tournaments last season, Owens finished ahead of Reetz on four different occasions. The two have a strong friendship on and off the course, and use their competitiveness to drive each other to get better.

“We golfed a lot over the summer doing junior golf events. Practiced pretty much every day this summer. I think that helped us a lot this year,” Owens said. “In the summer I beat him for a week straight. We kept keeping track of how long I’d beat him and how long he’d beat me. The longest he’s beat me was five. So I was glad I got seven on him.”

The duo has different golfing backgrounds. Owens is a relative newcomer to the sport, having taught himself to golf about three years ago when he stopped playing baseball.

“We do have a couple of guys that can obviously compete for being in the top five places in the state.”

Lance Ziegler, Trego coach On the other hand, Reetz has had at least a plastic club in his hand since he was 5 and his uncles took him out to play. He didn’t take it too seriously until around age 10 when he realized he had enough talent to compete with some of the area’s best golfers his age.

Now, Reetz and Owens have come together to form a mighty duo on the course for Trego, where both vie to push for an individual state title and add another addition to the Golden Eagles’ trophy case.

“We know that we are each other’s main competition at most courses.

There will be a couple others, but it will just be basically me and him. And since we are on the same team we can kind of push each other to get better,” Reetz said.

“We have a pretty good team this year, but not the team we’ve had the last couple of years. And there is not as much competition as there was those couple of years. So I think I have a pretty good chance of getting into the top five again, or maybe even winning it.”

Trego Community sophomore Emmit Owens, right, and junior Dion Reetz hit off the driving range at the Big Creek Golf Course near WaKeeney.

Simple, but effective tool Local’s creation gaining attention in the youth ranks

A

basketball player at Victoria High School and for one season at Fort Hays State University in the early 1990s, Hays resident Curt Schmidtberger never thought about becoming a basketball coach or being involved on the court any further.

The 1991 Victoria graduate thought he was all-but-done with the game. Recently, though, while helping coach his son’s fourthgrade traveling basketball team, he had an idea.

“I watched many of the kids struggle handling the ball,” he said.

“They were very one-hand dominant and very uncomfortable putting the ball on the floor, and when they did, they would turn their back to the basket and put their head down.”

Schmidtberger thought about it on the way home, and just a short time later, the Dribble Defender was born at his home in Hays. It’s a creation — now just a few months old — he hopes can help many of the youth entering the game learn early the proper way to control the basketball.

A simple base and T shape made out of PVC tubing, the Dribble Defender is made to take the shape of the “arms of a defender,” helping its users learn to keep dribbles and passes low, and away from the defender. An idea that just kind of “popped into his head,” he said it worked much better than he thought it would.

At its highest point, the contraption is 17 inches Schmidtberger off the ground and built on a pivot so it can be lower to either the right or left as users get better.

The “arms” extend out roughly 50 inches wide, mimicking that of the defender.

“It helps players learn to keep the basketball low to the ground while they practice the cross-over dribble,” Schmidtberger said.

He and his sons — Devin (10), Deyton (7) and Dalton (5) — worked a little at the gym and came up with a series of drills the tool can be used with, and the complete product took shape.

And just a few short months later, the Dribble Defender is becoming more well-known.

“I designed it and my wife (Mary Jo, formerly Rupp, of Hays) came up with the name,” Schmidtberger said. “I didn’t like it at first, but it grew on me the more I said it.”

Schmidtberger, who never had a Facebook page, started his own page, and created a page dedicated to the family’s product, and it has taken off. Most recently, they created a website, www.thedribbledefender.com, where people can place orders. Priced at $19.99 right now, plus shipping and handling, Schmidtberger said they have filled orders anywhere from one to 20 at a time — sold through the family’s new company, 3D Sports Concepts LLC, which is named after the couple’s three boys.

“So far I have sold sets to AAU youth teams as far away as Fort Worth, Texas and kids’ youth clinics in Miami, Fla.,” he said.

He was even impressed when Duke star Jahlil Okafor made a visit and clicked like on the Dribble Defender’s Facebook page.

Plus, the Dribble Defender will be in Singapore this month with two basketball organizations — Jammers League and SG Basketball.

On top of that, Schmidtberger was invited to Baltimore by Robert Worthington to put on a demo of the Dribble Defender.

He also was invited to Washington in June and July to set up as a vendor at the National AAU second-grade tournament, and there is a possibility of partnering with the AAU. He also has been contacted by professional basketball players overseas.

During the Easter weekend, he was interviewed on the Tim and Corey Show out of Cleveland, a sports radio talk show that had come across the Facebook page.

“This is just blowing me away,” Schmidtberger said. “My goal was to sell 2,000 of them this year. We’re going to well exceed that.”

And the sky is the limit for the Dribble Defender, Schmidtberger said, not leaving out the possibility of it one day showing up in sporting goods stores.

AND PAYTON RUDER

Payton Ruder is a junior on the Hays High School boys’ golf team and its leading returner by average.

He was a regional champion in Class 5A last spring and was part of an Indians’ team that finished sixth in the state tournament. As a sophomore in the fall of 2013, Ruder severely injured his neck at the Indians’ preseason football scrimmage at Lewis Field Stadium. He partially tore two neck muscles, tore ligaments in his vertebrae and suffered a severe concussion. Since then, golf has been his only sport.

What were the difficulties in coming back from the neck injury?

“It was a tough time. I had a migraine for four, four and a half months. I couldn’t hardly go to school for much more than a couple of hours. I had a half schedule almost the whole first semester. I probably made six or seven trips down to Wichita to see a sports medicine specialist there to make sure my recovery was going as it should. I went to the chiropractor about three times a week to make sure everything was in place while it was coming all back together.”

“I had to give up football and basketball. I was really looking forward to football, but at the same time I don’t want to risk it and try to play it again and have it be worse than the first time around. It was a long road. I’m glad that I’m almost done with that. I still go to the chiropractor every once in a while to make sure everything is still in place.”

“The ligaments still aren’t fully healed all the way because I can still shift my neck over to the side, but it’s one of those things where if they went in and did surgery it would probably cause more harm than what it would do good. So I’m kind of just living with what I got.”

Does golf mean more to you now than it did before?

“It’s always meant a lot to me. Golf has always been my primary sport. It does allow me to have more time in the offseason to practice and to try and get better.

It makes me appreciate a little bit more. I do practice I think more than I used to, but I think some of that is just wanting to get to then next level and wanting to perform well. I really enjoy golf.”

Is there pressure on the guys to do well after watching the HHS girls win state in Class 4A during the fall? “(Coach Mark Watts) brought it up going down to Garden City this past Friday. He was just talking about how other coaches in 4A were not that happy with us moving down to 4A for the girls’ season.”

“He is like, ‘You guys are capable of doing it. We have a good golf team this year.’ There is a spot in my mind where yeah, we have a good golf team, but it’s going to be tough. There’s some good teams in 4A for sure.”

“I’m pretty close with (HHS senior golfer) Lexie Schaben, but they don’t really talk about it all that much. I was extremely happy for them. Since I work out at the country club, I saw them practicing all the time and got to interact with them quite a bit while they were practicing. I texted Lexie and asked them how they did and she said she got fifth. Then I was like, ‘Congrats,’ and she texted back and was like, ‘Oh, and by the way, we are state champs.’ I was like, ‘You have to be kidding me.’”

What are your personal goals for this season?

“I want to average under 80 and I want to, even if my team does qualify for state as team, I want to know in my head I could have qualified even without my team.”

What are your aspirations after high school? Do you want to play college golf?

“I’ve talked to a couple of colleges. I got offered a spot on a team from Boston (Newbury University), but I don’t want to go that far away from home. So it’s just kind of waiting to see what I can get. I don’t know for sure. I’d like to go to K-State for engineering and if I get to play on the golf team while I’m there, then cool. But if not, it’s OK. I’ve always dreamed of playing collegiate golf, but if it doesn’t happen then it wasn’t meant to be.”

“Honestly, I’ve thought about playing golf at Fort Hays for the first two years and doing their pre-engineering program and taking all my physics classes and stuff here and then transferring to K-State for another two years to get my degree in engineering.”

Talk about the best round of golf you ever played: “The best round I ever played was at Ellis Country Club, which is now Ellis Golf Club. I started out par, bogey, bogey. Then I parred out the rest of the nine. Then I went on the back nine and shot 5-under and shot a 68. … It was probably a year and a half ago.”

What is your favorite golf course you’ve actually played on?

“It’s probably Brookridge Country Club in Overland Park. That was where our state was my freshman year. It was just a really, really nice and pristine course.

Either that or Prairie Dunes. One of those two. I’ve played both of those. Brookridge you had to think a little more than at a normal course. You couldn’t just pull out driver and bust it every single time.”
