CS needs just a half for big win By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
Three touchdowns in each of the first two quarters was enough in the Conway Springs Cardinals’ 42-0 win over the Sublette Larks. The game was called at halftime. How the game ended was a bit strange. The Cardinals made all their adjustments at halftime, and then lined up to kick off the third quarter. Then the referee approached Conway Springs head coach Matt Biehler. “It was the weirdest thing I’ve seen,” he said. “The white hat came over and said they were done.” Sublette had barely enough players to field 11 for the game, and had concerns about staying healthy enough to play again this week. The Cardinals’ homecoming vic-
tory over the winless Larks keeps them on top of Class 1A District 4 with a 4-0 record. Conway Springs is 5-1 overall, with five consecutive wins. Conway Springs ran for four touchdowns and passed for two more. Izic Billups ran for scores of 1 and 15 yards. He threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Derek Smith in the first quarter for a 14-0 lead, and Taylor Wykes caught a 17-yard scoring pass from Billups late in the second quarter to go up 42-0. Brayden Kunz ran for an 18-yard touchdown in the first quarter, and had a 30-yard touchdown in the second. The Cardinals gained 376 yards in just a half, while holding the Larks to 108. They ran for 213 yards and passed for 163. Kunz rushed for a game high 100 yards, and Billups added another 68. Billups was 7-for-10
passing, with Wykes leading all receivers with 76 yards on three receptions. Smith finished the night with 45 receiving yards, and Lance Pauly had 42. Billups and Kunz both had 100yard nights. Billups led all players with 163, and Kunz had 100. The Larks were able to pass for only 59 yards, and ran for just 49. Conway Springs’ defense forced Sublette into a pair of turnovers, with interceptions by Lane Kelly and Billups. Logan Warren led the Cardinals with 4.5 tackles. “We played a really well-rounded game,” Biehler said. “They moved the ball at times, but we clamped down when we needed to.” On Friday, the Cardinals will travel roughly 260 miles west to near the Colorado border and take on the Stanton County Trojans,

Local golfers headed to State By Michael Buhler TSnews
Two local girls’ golf teams and several individual golfers punched their tickets earlier this week for next week’s State golf tournaments. The Cheney Cardinals are headed to State in Class 3-2-1A after taking third at the Council Grove regional Monday, while the Campus Colts are State bound in Class 6A after also placing third at the Hutchinson regional Monday. The Cardinals shot 438, while Campus carded a 399. In Class 5A, Eisenhower finished fifth at the Hays regional with a score of 416, 14 strokes behind Salina South for the final State berth, while Goddard finished seventh after shooting 439. However, the Tigers will send Kayla Jensen and Lexi Habbert to State after both finished 10th and 11th, respectively, at Hays with scores of 93 and 95. Goddard’s Kalista Rugh also is State bound after shooting a 105 to tie for 19th and earn the final State berth. Two other schools that did not field enough for a team will send individuals to State. Clearwater’s Lexi Elliott won the Class 4A regional at Hesston Monday with a score of 79, five strokes ahead
of Buhler’s Callie Cooper. Elliott played with Campus as part of a co-op during the regular season. Elliott is relatively new to golf, and played as a member of the Clearwater boys golf team last spring. The Indians added girls golf this spring through a cooperative program with Campus. It’s similar to the soccer cooperative that allows Clearwater students to play as part of the Campus Colts. Meanwhile, Garden Plain will send a pair of golfers to State after Jaycee Brown and Carly Hitt finished fourth and seventh, respectively, at the Council Grove regional with scores of 97 and 100. At the Hutchinson regional, Kiley Maier finished third with a score of 86 and will play at State for the second year in a row, while Sara Vulgamore tied for 12th with a score of 102 and Analysia Morales tied for 15th with a score of 105. Alicia Jamarillo tied for 18th with a score of 106, while Ava Baker carded a 128 to finish 36th and Kaitlynn Lechner finished 42nd with a score of 142. At Hays, Eisenhower’s Meredith Russell shot a 112 and finished 26th, while Liliann Roy tied for 27th with a 113. Abby Brewer shot a

Defense keys Cheney victory By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
A strong defensive performance, especially in the first half, gave the Cheney Cardinals a 25-14 homecoming victory over the visiting Holcomb Longhorns last Friday. Cheney’s offense moved the ball at will in the first half, but left points on the field with three turnovers before halftime. The Cardinals’ defense kept the Longhorns corralled for nearly the entire half. Holcomb went three-and-out on three of its first four possessions, gaining just one first down during those four drives. “It wasn’t very glamorous. It was homecoming week, and we practiced the way we played,” said Cheney head coach Shelby Wehrman. “We looked distracted. We couldn’t get 11 guys on a page. I’m still proud of the guys for beating a good Holcomb team.” Cheney drove into the red zone on its first possession, but fumbled the ball away inside the 5-yard line. Cheney’s defense held, forcing Holcomb into its second threeand-out in as many drives. A short punt gave the Cardinals possession at the Holcomb 38-yard line. A pass completion on fourth-and-4 gave the Cardinals a first down and put the ball on the 15-yard line. On the next play, Harrison Voth ran it in for a touchdown and a 6-0 lead. The Cardinals got the ball right back on a successful onside kick. A 35-yard pass to Dayton Higgs put the Cardinals on the 15 again, and a few plays later Voth threw a 17yard pass to Luke Grace, who spun off a defender and dove into the end zone for a 12-0 advantage. Cheney fumbled on its next drive, and its last drive of the half ended on a interception with under 10 seconds to play in the half. Voth recovered a Holcomb fumble between those drives. Both teams scored on their first drives of the second half. The Car-
dinals drove 68 yards in just over three minutes, scoring on Quincy Thomas’ 2-yard run to lead 19-0. Holcomb got on the board with a 54-yard drive. Carson Middleton blocked the point-after kick, and Cheney led 19-6. The Cardinals’ next drive was a mess. A third-down left them facing third-and-28. After an incomplete pass, they decided to go for the first down. Back-to-back false start penalties made it fourthand-38, and then the Cardinals turned the ball over on downs after a fake punt play ended in a pass
out of bounds. On the following drive, the Cardinals ran the same fake punt play on fourth-and-9 and converted it as the third quarter ended. The drive featured two bad snaps that moved them backward, as well as an amazing toe-dragging catch by Jack Voth at the 5-yard line. Despite all the problems, the Cardinals scored on Thomas’ second touchdown run of the game, this time from 18 yards out, to go up 25-6.

Cheney girls, Campus boys win races at Cheney Lake By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
The Cheney girls used four top-10 finishes to run to the varsity girls 5K title at their home cross country meet, held last Thursday at Cheney State Park. The Campus Colts won the boys 5K with four top10 performances, including three Colts who placed in the top five. Paul Sevart, Brody Bloom and Peyton Letterman finished second, third and fourth, respectively, and all broke the 18-minute mark, as did individual champion Zach Winter of Andale. Nathan Mortensen took seventh, as the Colts’ 32 points was far better than runner-up Wellington. Eight teams ran in the boys 5K. Cheney did not have a full squad in that race. Abbye Hudson led the Cheney Cardinals with a second-place finish in the girls race, while Kinslee Ingram was sixth, Taelyn Hoch took eighth and Tatum Ingram placed
Cardinals From Page B1 who are 2-3 following last week’s 10-8 loss to Elkart. This will be the fifth straight game where the Cardinals enter as the heavy favorite. Over the last four games, Conway Springs has posted three shut-out victories and
10th. Lakin Green was just outside the top 10, coming in 12th. Four schools ran with full teams. The Campus girls did not have a full varsity squad in the race, but Maddie Carpenter had a nice race and finished ninth. “I knew we matched up pretty well heading into the meet, but they crushed it,” said Cheney head coach Rich Simmons. He noted that only one school had its second runner ahead of the Cardinals’ fifth runner. Their team score of 23 points is only 8 more than a perfect score of 15. In cross country, teams may enter up to seven runners and the top five are used for scoring. The sixth and seventh runners are tiebreakers. Scoring is based on one point for first place, two points for second, place, etc. “They’ve put in the work and are really seeing that pay off each week. We’re all very excited to see what we can do the rest of the season,” Simmons said. Campus head coach
Cooper Clark said the Colts’ boys ran well at Cheney. “We’ve been focusing on the closing the gap between our top five runners all season, so that had to be the best pack we’ve seen so far,” he said. “racing together is something we preach to our kids all year, so it’s awesome to see the boys run like that. Even with missing runners, we have a “next man up” mentality. Any of our top 10 guys could be in our top five on any given day.”
Campus boys: Paul Sevart, 2nd, 17:47.5; Brody Bloom, 3rd, 17:56.9; Peyton Letterman, 4th, 17:58.6; Nathan Mortensen, 7th, 18:12.9; Kaleb Arneson, 17th, 19:42.7; Ailin Snodgrass, 24th, 20:10.8; Christopher Guanche, 37th, 21:17.3.

Clearwater and Goddard run at Trinity
The Eisenhower boys came in third and the girls took seventh at the Salina Invitational, held last Saturday at Bille Burke Park. The EHS boys scored 89 points, coming in just 6 points behind runner-up Salina. Shawnee Mission North won with 35 points. Logan Libel set the pace for the boys, just missing the top 10 with an 11thplace finish. The Tigers had four runners in the top 20. Ashyton Koeppen had the best time for the Tigers’ girls.
The Clearwater boys had the best team finish, placing fifth overall, while Goddard was the eighth and final team in the boys’ varsity race. The Indians scored 129, while the Lions scored 204. Trinity won the race with 21 points. The Clearwater girls took fifth out of six teams, as Hayley Trotter was the only runner to break the 20-minute mark. Her time of 19:36.00 won the race. The Indians scored 138 points, while Andover won with 29 points. Olivia Brownwell of Goddard was the Lions’ only varsity runner in the girls 5K, but she earned a top-10 finish.

outscored opponents by a combined score of 192-13. Biehler said Stanton County likes to run a little more than it throws. The Trojans like the spread offense and shotgun formation, and run a lot of motion and shifts. It is a style the Cardinals will likely see at some point in the playoffs. “It will be good for our guys to face that,” he said.

Quincy Thomas breaks free for a second-half touchdown against the Holcomb Longhorns.
Jack Voth stepped up again a few plays later on defense, intercepting a Holcomb pass near midfield. The Longhorns added a score in the game’s closing seconds to lessen the size of their deficit. Wehrman described the offense as a sputtering car on vacation, but said he was “super happy” with the defense. That said, Cheney’s offense is still potent even when it isn’t at its best. “I always have faith we’ll put up enough points. So far, the defense has stood up every game,” he said. “I thought the front seven of our defense did a great job shutting down the run. Peyton Hays had a standout game defensively, beating blocks and getting to the quarterback and running back.” Cheney now controls its destiny in Class 3A District 8. The Cardinals are 3-0 in district games, with a win over the next two teams (Pratt and Holcomb, both 2-1). Cheney’s final two games are against the bottom two teams in the district, starting this Friday with a home game against winless Nickerson. Cheney is 6-0 overall and remains ranked No. 3 in Class 3A, behind Andale and Collegiate.

Owls take third at McPherson Invitational By Michael Buhler The Garden Plain Owls volleyball team won three of its five matches at the McPherson Invitational last Saturday and took third place at the tournament, downing Bishop Caroll 23-25, 25-12, 25-23 in the third-place match. The win over Bishop Carroll was also the Owls’ 20th win of the season. Garden Plain entered this week with a record of 20-6 and ranked second in Class 2A in the Kansas Volleyball Coaches Association poll. Brooke Hammond had 11 kills against Bishop Carroll, while Molly Zoglman added nine, Naomi Dooley had seven and Kaylor Wasinger added six. Wasinger and Sophia Smith added three blocks apiece, while Sydney Puetz had 29 digs and Naomi Dooley had 11. Dooley and Ryleigh Stuhlsatz combined for 27 assists in the match. “It was a good win against a 5A State-ranked team,” Garden Plain coach Gina Clark said of the third-place match. “We played good matches against Pittsburg and Garden City in pool play, but I felt we let down against McPherson in the final match of pool play. They are a tough team, but beatable.” In pool play at McPherson, the Owls beat Garden City 25-16, 25-15 and Pittsburg 25-22, 2510, but lost to host McPherson 18-25, 10-25. In the semifinals, the Owls lost to Nickerson 1725, 21-25. “We had a chance late in the second set against Nickerson, but just couldn’t find the confidence to finish,” Clark said. “I was proud of how we rebounded against Bishop Carroll and finished the day with a win. We play tough, bigger schools during this time of season to better ourselves, find where we need to make improvements, and prepare for postseason play.” Last Tuesday, the Owls took on Wichita Independent and Conway Springs in Central Plains League play, sweeping both matches. Garden Plain defeated Wichita Independent and Conway Springs 25-14, 25-18. “It was a fun night of volleyball,” Clark said. “We had the opportunity to play all six of our seniors the entire first set against Wichita Independent. They did a great job and had a lot of fun during the last home matches of
the season.” Hammond had 12 kills on the night, while Dooley had four aces and 27 assists and Stuhlsatz added four aces. The Owls took on Douglass and Medicine Lodge earlier this week and head to Goddard for a tournament Saturday. Garden Plain finishes the regular season Tuesday against Kingman, Wichita Trinity and Belle Plaine.
Cardinals down Riverton in battle of State-ranked teams The Cheney Cardinals continued their strong performance on the court last week as they won a quartet of matches. The Cardinals downed Medicine Lodge (25-12, 25-9) and Belle Plaine (25-18, 25-17) in CPL play last Tuesday, then swept a pair of matches at Fredonia last Thursday from St. Mary’s Colgan of Pittsburg (25-10, 25-15) and Riverton (25-20, 25-12), which was ranked sixth in last week’s Class 3A State volleyball poll. The Cardinals were ranked third. “Last week was homecoming week for us, so I always am trying to keep the girls focused on the matches that week,” Cheney coach Sara Walkup said. “We knew last Tuesday’s matches were ones we could win, but we still had to make sure we performed there without just going through the motions.” Last Tuesday, Campbell Hague and Anna Martin had 10 kills apiece, while Wewe had four aces and Lacy Luehrs had six blocks. Korri Lies had 20 digs, while Wewe added 19 digs and 29 assists. Two nights later at Fredonia, Hague had 15 kills, while Alex Bittner added 11 on the night and the duo of Lies and Wewe each had three aces that evening. Hague had four blocks between the two matches, while Lies had 26 digs and Wewe had 35 assists. “Last Thursday’s matches were matches we have looked at for a while now as some potentially tough matches,” Walkup said. “Riverton is having a great year and has some good players, and Colgan had historically been a great program. We had a game plan going in on how we were going to handle both teams, and I thought we really executed it very well.” The Cardinals took on Wichita Independent and Wichita Trinity earlier this week and head
to Goddard for a tournament Saturday before finishing the regular season Tuesday against Conway Springs and Douglass.
Raiders take third at SCBL Tournament The Argonia Raiders returned from a two-week layoff in strong fashion, taking third at the South Central Border League Tournament last Saturday. The Raiders beat South Haven 25-18, 25-20, but lost to West Elk 17-25, 23-25. Argonia beat Sedan 25-18, 25-12, South Haven (again) 25-20, 25-11 and Oxford 25-13, 25-10. “This tournament was our first time playing in two weeks,” Argonia coach Haili Lovelance said. “We fought through Covid and only had two full practices with everyone before competing in the league tournament. Although they fought hard and didn’t end up with what they wanted, us coaches are still proud of them for fighting through the day.” Chelsea Coleman, led the team with 51 kills last Saturday, followed by Teighlor Viohl with 36, while freshman Lakelyn Love led the team with 19 aces, followed by setters Alyssa Martin and Brenna Booker with four each. Love also had 10 blocks, while Abigail Harbin and Heidi McCurley had six each and Coleman added five. Libero Maya Jones “saved us on the back row with phenomenal hustle and many great digs,” Lovelace said. The Raiders hosted South Haven and Attica earlier this week.
Clearwater takes fourth at Council Grove The Clearwater Indians took fourth at the Council Grove Invitational last Saturday, going 3-2 on the day. The Indians downed Santa Fe Trail 25-18, 25-21, Abilene 25-21, 27-25 and Jefferson West 25-10, 25-11 in pool play, but lost to Hesston 2518, 28-30, 19-25 in the semifinals and to Abilene 22-25, 21-25 in the third-place match. “We had a solid weekend at Council Grove and I was proud of our offensive effort,” Clearwater coach Adrienne Noland said. “We saw some big performances from our team last weekend
and I’m so impressed with how much we improve from week to week.” Laurel Streit and Tess Winter paced the offense with 39 kills apiece on the weekend, while Brooke Berlin added 114 assists. Defensively, Hayley Gerberding had 56 digs while freshman Kaylee Hampton added another 40. Kenzy McArtor led with 16 blocks on the weekend and Hampton added seven aces. Last Tuesday, Clearwater lost to McPherson 25-13, 26-28, but beat Rose Hill 25-22, 25-18. “McPherson is always tough and I was proud of how hard we pushed them in the second set,” Noland said Streit had 17 kills and four blocks last Tuesday, while Berlin added three blocks against McPherson. Elizabeth Tjaden had 19 digs on the night, while Berlin added 36 assists. Clearwater, ranked ninth in Class 4A, hosted Augusta and Wichita Collegiate earlier this week and hosts its own tournament Saturday before heading to Wichita Tuesday to take on Andale and Collegiate to wrap up the regular season.
Tigers win two more, crack State poll The Eisenhower Tigers had a strong performance on the court last week, winning two more matches last Tuesday to get to 20 wins on the season and also cracking the Class 5A State poll at No. 10. The Tigers defeated Campus 25-16, 25-12 and Great Bend 2517, 25-14 and entered this week with a record of 20-7. “Last Tuesday was not our best day, but we got the job done,” Eisenhower coach Shelby Allee said. “Toward the end of the first set against Campus, my setter (Delainee Dexter) went down with injury, but she was back this week.” Hannah Weber had 13 kills on the night, while both Taylor Burkholder and Addison Verbeck contributed 13 digs. Hayden Yuza stepped up and filled in at the setter role and had sevin assists. Allee also is pleased to see her team get some recognition. “I am so proud of the girls for cracking the top 10,” Allee said. “We set multiple team goals early on in the season and we are working on achieving them. We are getting better everyday and I am glad that our record is
showing that.” Eisenhower took on Valley Center and Arkansas City earlier this week and heads crosstown to play in the Goddard Invitational Saturday before finishing the regular season with Hays and Salina Central Tuesday.
Colts drop pair of matches The Campus Colts dropped their only two matches last week, falling to Eisenhower 16-25, 12-25 and to Great Bend 23-25, 25-10, 20-25 last Tuesday. Taryn Kondo had 12 kills and 20 digs last Tuesday, while Mak O’Bryan had 11 kills and four blocks. Dallas Whitman had seven kills, 15 digs and a pair of blocks, while Reece Likes had 26 assists and Kaylee Martinez had 26 digs. The Colts took on Derby and Maize earlier this week and head to Goddard for a tournament Saturday before hosting Andover and Newton Tuesday to finish the regular season.
Lions stop skid The Goddard Lions got back in the win column last Tuesday when they beat Arkansas City 27-29, 25-15, 25-16 last Tuesday. It was the Lions first win since Sept. 11. Goddard lost its other match last Tuesday to Andover Central, falling 23-25, 13-25. The Lions also competed at the McPherson Invitational last Saturday, going 1-3 on the day. Goddard beat Pittsburg 25-21, 25-11, but lost to Garden City 14-25, 32-30, 20-25, Hutchinson 13-25, 15-25 and Nickerson 2025, 13-25. Goddard took on Andover and Andover Central earlier this week and hosts a tournament Saturday to wrap up the regular season.
Conway Springs loses pair The Conway Springs Cardinals dropped a pair of CPL contests last Tuesday, falling to Garden Plain 15-25, 17-25 and to Kingman 20-25, 16-25. The Cardinals took on Belle Plaine and Chaparral earlier this week before heading to Clearwater for a tournament Saturday. Conway Springs finishes the regular season Tuesday against Cheney and Douglass.

Tigers beat Lions in soccer rematch By Sam Jack TSnews
The Eisenhower Tigers boys soccer team beat the Goddard Lions 2-1 last Tuesday, Oct. 5, in a rematch of the early-season tournament final. The Tigers also won that earlier match, by a single penalty kick. Eisenhower head coach Roger Downing and Goddard head coach Josh Hansen agreed that the Tigers’ goalkeeper, Logan Glover, allowed his team to preserve their win, making several difficult saves. “It was almost like there was a force field around that goal, and it didn’t matter how many times we went forward, we just couldn’t find the ball to go into the net,” Hansen said. “We pushed really hard and tried to get a goal, but it just didn’t happen.” Downing thought it was the Lions’ best game of the season. “They played really well, pressed us really hard, but we caught them on a few counterattacks, and that was the biggest
difference in the game,” he said. Trey Harris scored to put the Tigers up 1-0 about 20 minutes into the first half. Goddard’s Brian Aleman scored the equalizer about five minutes later. With about 25 minutes left in the game, Devin Hake scored to put the Tigers in the lead. The Tigers next game was Thursday, Oct. 7, when they beat Valley Center 4-0. Andy Sloss scored two goals, while Hake and Brayden Ritchie had a goal apiece. Sloss, Connor Shipman and Braeden Boer had assists. “We’ve really been able to focus on scoring on set pieces lately and this time we scored on four setpieces,” Downing said. The Tigers hosted Andover on Wednesday, Oct. 13, and will travel to Salina Central on Tuesday, Oct. 19. Goddard’s other game last week was at Maize on Oct. 7. It ended in a 2-2 draw. “Maize is always tough,” Hansen said. “In the last 20 years, we have never beaten them. This is the first year we didn’t actually lose to them, so that was a big deal for us.”
Maize took a 2-0 lead before momentum shifted and allowed the Lions to level it 2-2. “It definitely shows where we’re at conditioning-wise,” Hansen said. “Especially these late games, getting into overtime, you can see the shift going into our favor. We’ve just got to do a much better job of finishing our chances.” Goddard played at Salina Central on Tuesday, Oct. 12, and will be in Winfield this Thursday. On Tuesday, Oct. 19, the team hosts Arkansas City.
Colts beat Salina South, lose to Derby
The Campus Colts went 1-1 last week, beating Salina South 2-0 on Oct. 5 before losing to Derby 2-0 a couple of days later. Colts head coach Casey Reece said the game at Salina South was a really solid one for his team. “We finally put everything together, and we finally had a game where we didn’t have those mistakes that end up
costing us a game,” he said. Both Colts’ goals came in the first half: Alaa Al-Amood assisted by Isaiah Stevens, then Jeremiah Whitson assisted by Larry Cannup. Hosting Derby on Oct. 7, the Colts started the game with two starters out due to COVID-related quarantines. Two other starters went out with injuries during the first half. Those deficits prompted the Colts to take a more defensive approach, and they were able to hold the game scoreless until the final 20 minutes. “I was really proud of the way that we played, but a game like that is going to grind you down,” Reece said. “We just struggle to put together a whole lot of possession time against them, and then once that one goal went in, we had to be more aggressive on our attack, which eventually resulted in the second goal.” The Colts played at Wichita South on Monday, then hosted Valley Center on Tuesday. This Thursday, Oct. 14, they will play at Mulvane, and on Tuesday, Oct. 19, they will be at Maize South.
Titans tame Wildcats for home victory Eagles edge Owls on 4Q field goal By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

The Titans’ Xander Newberry had a big night with five touchdown runs and two touchdown passes during Friday’s victory.
an interception. A pair of turnovers slowed the Titans’ offense in the first half, and Moundridge was able to control the clock. In one series, the Titans forced an interception but then fumbled the ball back. The Titans began to take control just before halftime. Newberry connected with Harndon for a 67-yard touchdown pass in the final five seconds of the half. “That gave us quite a bit of momentum going into at half,” said co-head coach Luke Greenwood. He said the Titans did a better job of taking care of the ball after the break. They scored on all of their second-half possessions. The doors opened for both teams in the fourth quarter as they combined for 48 points. “Our offensive and defensive lines did a great job,” Greenwood said. Blake Shaddox, Brady Roblin and Kaden Thomas anchor the interior of both lines. Greenwood said Newberry is not forcing things as much as at the
start of the year, showing his development. If the Titans want to host a first-round playoff game, they need to get a win at the Medicine Lodge Indians this Friday. The Titans are 2-1 in 8-man Div. 1 District 5, sitting behind Medicine Lodge and Goessel, both of which are 3-0. Goessel has a win over the Titans. Medicine Lodge is undefeated this season with a 6-0 record. The Indians have had their two biggest wins of the seasons the previous two weeks, beating Fairfield and Pretty Prairie by a combined score of 104-6. The Titans will need to clean up their penalties this Friday. They were whistled for 80 yards last week, compared to just 33 for Moundridge. “They’re a pretty balanced team. They have good size and like to run the spread offense. It definitely will put a strain on the defense in terms of playing in space and covering them,” Greenwood said.
A 23-yard field goal allowed the Kingman Eagles to escape Garden Plain with a 10-7 win over the Owls last Friday at Gard Field. Both teams were able to gain decent yardage, but the end zone was hard to find for both squads. Each team gave up the ball twice, with a fumble and an interception. The Owls fumbled four times, but were able to recover the ball three times. Garden Plain took a 7-0 lead late in the first half, when Reed Adelhardt completed a 40-yard pass to Teagen Daerr with 3:50 to go before the break. Adelhardt turned in another strong game, gaining 159 yards on 31 carries. Kingman’s first score came on a drive late in the third quarter, tying the game at 7 with a 1-yard touchdown run. The game remained tied until the 7:49 mark of the fourth quarter, when the Eagles made a game-winning field goal from 23 yards out. The Owls thought they had a go-ahead touchdown at the end of the game. Kingman punted and did not down the ball. Adelhardt picked it up and ran it to the end zone, but the play was ruled dead because of an inadvertent whistle. Both teams were held far below their season scoring averages. “Both defenses were pretty stingy,” said Garden Plain head coach Danny Adelhardt. “We wanted to get off to a quick start, and we did to a point.” The Owls felt they were able to move the ball, especially on their first two drives, but they weren’t able to get to the end zone. They finally broke through on a halfback pass, when Reed Adelhardt took a toss from John Stuhlsatz, and connected with Daerr for what turned out to be the Owls’ only score of the game. “It was a beautifully run play,” Danny Adelhardt said. Kingman gained 290 yards, with most of it coming through the air as they went 18-for-30 passing for 237 yards. Garden Plain kept the ball on the ground, running 42 times compared to Kingman. The Owls ran for 185 yards, and went 2-for-10 passing for 45 yards. Plays that failed to gain yards or that lost yards were a problem at times for the Owls. Adelhardt was happy with the Owls’ ability to create defensive pressure. “I love the way we made the quarterback uncomfortable. That came from a lot of people,” he said. The loss means the Owls will most likely be on the road for the first round of the playoffs. They are 1-2 in District 6, sitting behind Chaparral and Kingman, both of whom have wins over Garden Plain. The Owls are tied with Belle Plaine and Douglass in the district, although the Owls own the point tiebreaker over both teams. To keep hold of the third-place spot in the district, Garden Plain will need to secure wins the next two weeks over Belle Plaine and Bluestem. The Owls go to Belle Plaine this Friday to take on the Dragons, whose only win this season was over Bluestem. “We want to play well. Belle Plaine was very competitive against Chaparral,” Adelhardt said.

The Argona-Attica Titans took care of business in Argonia last Friday, beating the Moundridge Wildcats 62-34. The Titans were able to put some distance between themselves and Moundridge by outscoring the Wildcats 14-0 in the fourth quarter, turning a 22-12 lead into a 24-point advantage. A&A took an 8-0 lead in the first quarter, and kept the offense rolling through the rest of the game. Xander Newberry had seven touchdowns. He ran for five scores and gained 190 yards on 24 carries. He threw a pair of touchdown passes to Conner Harnden and Adam Blanchat. Harnden was the top receiver, with 78 yards on two catches. Blanchat had 44 receiving yards, and gained another 75 on the ground. Harnden had 44 rushing yards. The Titans finished the night with 474 yards of total offense, rushing for 321 and passing for 153. Blanchat led the defense with 7 solo tackles and 11 assisted tackles, and Wyatt Peterson had 4 solo and 9 assisted tackles. Colter McDaniel picked off two passes, and Blanchat had

Top-ranked Derby downs Campus By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com Let’s start with the obvious – the Derby Panthers are a special team, and it takes a special effort to beat them. The Panthers are the three-time defending 6A champions, and have won the title five out of the last six years. Last year was a down year for them – two regular-season losses before winning State, rather than an undefeated run to the crown. So it was not a big surprise that the Campus Colts lost 70-21 last Friday at Derby. The Colts did have a great start to the game, as Dylan Sheler took the opening kick off 89 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead on the rival Panthers. “We got some nice blocking to set him up. That’s how you want to do it,” said Campus head coach Jamie Cruce. Those blocks freed up Sheler to scamper down the left sideline and into the end zone.
Derby’s offense was highly effective once it got the ball, however. The Panthers rattled off 21 points in the first quarter, and at halftime held a 49-7 advantage. Campus added a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter. Brody Johnson scored on a 12-yard run. After another Derby touchdown, the Colts found the end zone again. Dillon Cruce ran in from 4 yards out. Campus’ 21 points are actually the second-most that the Panthers have given up this season. Highly-ranked Bishop Carroll scored 36 in an eight-point loss in Derby. After scoring 14 points or less in the first three games, the Campus offense has averaged almost 28 points per game the past three weeks. “The offensive line was playing pretty well. Derby is definitely the best defense we’ve faced,” Cruce said. Down 28-7, Campus missed a field goal try that would have pulled them to within 18 points.
Derby scored on the ensuing possession, and then had a pick-6 touchdown to go ahead 41-7. A fumble return for a score put Derby up 49-7 before the half. “When you’re a talented team, that’s what you do,” Cruce said about Derby. “I was proud of our guys. They didn’t have any quit in them.” The Colts turn their attention this week to the Hutchinson Salthawks, who come to town for Campus’ final regular-season home game. The Salthawks are 3-3 and coming off a 41-7 win over Salina South. Cruce said Hutchinson has a very similar playbook to Campus. He feels the teams are on a similar level in terms of their offenses. To pick up the season’s first win, the Colts’ defense will need to get some stops and give the ball back to their offense. “We feel like we’re getting better. We’re definitely better on offense,” Cruce said. Friday’s game will be at Colt Stadium.
No. 2 Collegiate pushes back Indians By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com Contributed photo
The Cheney Cardinals and Garden Plain Owls pose together at the conclusion of the 3-2-1A golf regional tournament. The Cardinals qualified their entire team for State. The Owls did not compete as a full team, but both of their golfers qualified for State as individual entrants.
Goddard’s struggles continue versus Newton The Goddard Lions are still in search of a win this season, following last week’s tough 24-12 loss against the Newton Railers, who also were winless coming into the contest. The Lions were in this game well into the second half, trailing by just five points in the third quarter, 17-12, and driving for a possible go-ahead score. They pushed the ball all the way to the Newton 9-yard line. “We’re right there knocking on the door,” said Goddard head coach Tommy Beason. “We had a window of opportunity and we didn’t capitalize. It’s the story of our season.” A fumble by the Lions late in the quarter set up the Railers for an insurance touchdown. Beason said the Lions battled to the last play of the game. Newton jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, with a rushing touchdown and a passing
score. Goddard responded with its own drive, finding the end zone on a 25-yard run by Bo Bantz, who has become an important second option in the backfield. It was Bantz’ first touchdown of the season. The teams traded field goals in the second quarter, with Newton scoring first. Goddard made it 17-10 on a 35-yard kick by Gabe Villegas. That was the score at halftime. The Lions picked up 2 points on a Newton safety late in the third quarter. Goddard is a young team gaining experience, with sophomores and even a freshman starting. They’ve made some in-season adjustments, due to injuries as well as trying new things to find the spark that will result in a win. The Lions remain positive. “We’ve continued to improve, manipulating our personnel pieces in ways to make us more compet-
itive,” Beason said. “There are good things happening, we just need to do more of it.” The Lions hope they are on a similar trajectory as Salina Central. The Mustangs had just one victory in 2020, and with many of the same players now sit at 4-2 and have the eighth and final spot for a home playoff game in two weeks. The Mustangs host the Lions this week. They have a pair of running backs that Beason calls “thunder and lightning.” “We know going in what they’re capable of,” he said. “They like the run-pass option, and their quarterback is the glue that holds things together.” Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Friday.
The Collegiate Spartans had a strong edge on both sides of the ball in a 4514 win at the Clearwater Indians. The Spartans, ranked No. 2 in Class 3A, gained 380 yards with a balanced attack, rushing for 232 yards and passing for 148 more. They kept the Indians’ offense mostly in check, giving up 110 passing yards and only 53 yards running. Collegiate is 6-0 this season and tied with Andale at the top of 3A District 7 at 3-0. Clearwater’s loss likely means the Indians are out of the running for a home game in the first round of the playoffs. They are third in the district standings, and want to hold that spot for seeding. The top four out of six teams advance to the playoffs. “Our offensive line was a bit surprised by how physical Collegiate was. It took some time to respond,” said Clearwater head coach Jimmy McDowell. “Collegiate is very well coached and

dians got on the board in the second quarter with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Fugarino to Trent Hasting. The Spartans then rattled off 28 unanswered points for a 45-7 lead in the fourth quarter. Fugarino added a touchdown on a 1-yard run late in the game. Clearwater will face a similarly difficult test this Friday, hosting the topranked and undefeated Andale Indians. Andale is the two-time defending 3A State champion, and has played in three of the last four championships. Andale’s last regular season losses were early in the 2015 season when the Indians started 1-2 but advanced to the 4A Div. II semifinals. Even though Clearwater has had ups and downs while building a 3-3 season, the Indians are making progress. “Our kids have bought into our motto – control what you can control, and stack good days on good days,” McDowell said. “We’re a much better team than we were early in the season.”

took away a few of our weapons.” The Indians are a bit of an inexperienced team this season. They have sophomores starting at some key slots, and a linebacker who moved to that position after the start of the season. McDowell said players are making the right reads and getting to the right spots, but sometimes that’s happening just a half-step too slowly. “We’re making progress. There wasn’t a lack of effort,” he said. Momentum played a role on Friday. The Indians got a big defensive stop late in the first half, taking over inside the 50-yard line and trailing 17-7. But the Spartans ended the drive with an interception and then scored on a 29-yard pass on the next play to take a 24-7 lead into halftime. Instead of possibly cutting the deficit to a touchdown or less, the Indians found themselves down by 17 points. Collegiate built a 17-0 first-half lead on a pair of touchdowns and a 49-yard field goal. The In-

Road win brings Tigers up to .500
By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
Four straight scores to open the game powered the Eisenhower Tigers to a 33-14 road victory over the Arkansas City Bulldogs. It is the Tigers’ second straight win, and evens their record at .500. They have two more winnable games on the schedule as they continue to battle to host a first-round playoff game. Eisenhower started the game with a bang, as Lucas Dickman ran 65 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. The Tigers went up 14-0 as quarterback Tyner Horn threw the first of three straight touchdowns in the first half. All three went to Cade Friend, including the first one, which went for 19
yards. Friend had a career night, setting a new school record for receiving yards in a game with 219 on 12 catches. Ethan Ellingson ran in for the 2-point conversion on the second touchdown; the Tigers missed the earlier point-after kick. Friend was the target for two more touchdowns in the second quarter, scoring on receptions of 54 and 20 yards. The Tigers missed the last of the point-after kicks, and took a 27-0 lead. The Bulldogs showed a little bite by scoring twice before halftime. They made it 27-7 with a 59-yard strike with 2:09 to play. After recovering an onside kick, the Tigers were able to score again with a 48-yard pass with 1:37 to play, making it 27-14 at the midway point. Those were the last points that
Eisenhower’s defense allowed. The Tigers have now held their opponents scoreless in seven of their last eight quarters. Eisenhower padded its lead with a 1-yard touchdown run from Cade Schuber in the fourth quarter. The Tigers had their best offensive game of the season, with a balanced attack that went for 444 yards. Horn was dialed in with a 16-for-20 performance and 250 yards, with three touchdowns against one interception. Friend averaged 18.25 yards per catch. Dickman had 113 of the Tigers’ 194 rushing cards, averaging 7.5 yards on 15 carries. Max Brown added 76 yards. It was Dickman’s first 100-yard game of the season and a career high. With the exception of the final minutes of the first half, Eisen-
hower’s defense kept the Bulldogs’ offense caged up all night. Arkansas City had 158 yards of offense, all through the air. The Bulldogs ran 21 times for a net total of zero yards. They had just six first downs on Friday, compared to 23 for the Tigers. Eisenhower held Arkansas City to 2-for-10 on third-down conversions. “We did a really good job of stopping the run,” said Eisenhower head coach Darrin Fisher. “Outside of the end of the first half, our defense was lights out.” The defense was further boosted by the play of Kade Schuber, who recorded four sacks and disrupted Arkansas City’s backfield. Fisher said Dickman’s touchdown run was critical. “It really set the tone out there. Our offense hadn’t scored more
than three touchdowns in a game,” he said. “It was nice to see our offense have some big plays. Our quaretback (Horn) has some talent.” The Tigers were able to open up the playbook more. And with a strong running game, the passing game found more success. Eisenhower’s final two games will be at home, starting this Friday when the Tigers host the Great Bend Panthers. Great Bend comes into the game still looking for its first win, but is not an opponent that should be overlooked. The Panthers had their closest game of the season last week, falling 22-21 at Liberal, which sports the same record as Eisenhower “They do a lot of stuff defensively that will really test our offensive line. They could be trouble,” Fisher said.
Specialist: Plan now for future emergency
Saving money to get through emergencies has always been a sound financial strategy, but the COVID-19 pandemic reminded many just how crucial a financial cushion can be. Elizabeth Kiss, a family resource management specialist with K-State Research and Extension, said the pinch of the pandemic forced many Americans to dip into their reserve funds in order to get through it. Others, she added, may have actually saved money during the pandemic because they were not able to travel, eat out or attend their favorite events. In either case – and in light of communities opening up again -- “it’s time to think about our budget,” Kiss said. “If we step back and think about our budget and how our income and

IN THE EIGHTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT DISTRICT COURT, SEDGWICK COUNTY, KANSAS PROBATE DEPARTMENT IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF LUEODA BROWN, DECEASED. CASE NO. 21PR1535 Pursuant to K.S.A. Ch. 59 NOTICE OF HEARING AND NOTICE TO CREDITORS THE STATE OF KANSAS TO ALL PERSONS CONCERNED: You are hereby notified that on October 6, 2021, a Petition was filed in this Court by Jerry Brown, Executor named in the Last Will and Testament of Lueoda Brown, deceased, dated March 18, 2015, praying that the Will filed with the Petition be admitted to probate and record; that the Petitioner be appointed as Executor without bond; and that he be granted Letters Testamentary. You are required to file your written defenses thereto on or before November 4, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., in the Sedgwick County Probate Courthouse, 1900 E. Morris, Wichita, Kansas, at which time and place said cause will be heard. Should you fail therein, judgment and decree will be entered in due course upon the petition. Parties who wish to contest the matter are directed to notify Kenneth Jack of their intention to contest, and such notice must be given prior to the date set forth above. All creditors are notified to exhibit their demands against the Estate within four months from the date of the first publication of this notice, as provided by law, and if their demands are not thus exhibited, they shall be forever barred.

expenses flow, we need to first cover our weekly and monthly expenses,” she said. “The next step is to think about whether we have money for next month’s expenses.” Once the weekly and monthly bills are accounted for, Kiss urges consumers to think about building an emergency savings fund, or money set aside to cover urgent or unanticipated expenses – such as a surprise medical bill, major car repair or even sudden unemployment. Building an emergency fund could be as easy as setting aside $5 a week. “Slow and steady wins the race,” she said. Kiss points to a recent publication, titled ‘Estab-
lishing or replenishing emergency savings,’ that indicates if consumers had saved just $5 a week since the end of the Great Recession (June 2009), they would have accumulated $2,600 by March 2020 – the beginning of the pandemic-related shutdown. While more is always better when it comes to an emergency fund, any amount you can save is helpful. America Saves, a campaign managed by the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America, outlines 38 reasons you need at least a $500 emergency fund. “I’m not saying all of this can be accomplished overnight because I recognize that everyone’s situ-

ation is different and it can be a challenge,” Kiss said. One strategy, though, is to “pay yourself first” when the paycheck arrives. “Take money off the top, before you pay your bills,” Kiss said. “You can automate that payment, or simply have it transferred from your bank account. Or as you do your routine
financial tasks, you transfer the money to yourself.” Kiss then recommends having a plan for the rest of the money, to include paying bills and entertainment or other expenses. “Other goals you may have could be saving to buy a home or car or putting money aside long-term for retirement,” Kiss said.
