3A State runners-up

County leaders sent letter inviting Tyson Staff report

The Times-Sentinel

All five Sedgwick County commissioners signed a letter to Tyson Foods, inviting the corporation to look at the county as a possible site for a $320 million poultry processing plant. The letter, dated Sept. 27 and first reported Monday in the Wichita Eagle, touted Sedgwick County’s agricultural and transportation infrastructure. “We are ready to collaborate with you regarding this venture and leverage many of our important partnerships, including the shared City/County zon-

Cheney volleyball players get ready to play in the 3A State championship match. The Cardinals beat Thomas More Prep-Marian last Friday in pool play, but the Monarchs edged the Cardinals in three sets to win the Class 3A State title Saturday in Emporia.

Cardinals take second at State By Michael Buhler The Times-Sentinel

Cheney volleyball coach Sara Walkup did not have high expectations for her team after the Cardinals took some early-season losses – but that all changed when Cheney started winning. The Cardinals kept on winning all the way to the

Class 3A State finals last Saturday, where they took second after a tough 22-25, 25-18, 19-25 loss to Thomas More Prep-Marian. “At the beginning of the season when we really weren’t playing well at all, I told myself that I needed to enjoy my team because we probably wouldn’t be a State contender this year,” Walkup said. “Then, we

changed some positions around and started playing well and totally exceeded my expectations. This team was awesome and deserved all the success they achieved.” However, the loss to TMP-Marian still stung. “It was tough to take a loss in the finals to a team we had beat the day before,” Walkup said. “We

definitely didn’t play our best in the championship match. However, we did beat them at the tournament the day before, so we can say we beat the championship team in two sets then. Unfortunately, we just didn’t beat them at the right time. “That said, second place

Cards tame Bulldogs for playoff win By Travis Mounts

The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com

Cheney wasted little time in asserting itself at Douglass in a 48-8 victory in the first round of the Class 3A football playoffs. The Cardinals scored a touchdown on their first possession, then scored three more times in the first half, taking a 28-0 Opinions

lead into the locker room at halftime. They ran their lead to 48-9 in the second half before Douglass finally got on the board against junior varsity players late in the game. Riley Petz ran for touchdowns of 5 yards and 8 yards to begin and end the first half. In between, Micah

Grover threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Trent Scheer in the first quarter, and ran for a 17yard gain in the second quarter. Douglass tried an onside kick to start the third quarter, but the kick went out of bounds. Starting from their own 40-yard line, the Cardinals picked

up 10 yards before Lakin Petz broke loose for a 50-yard scoring pass from Grover that gave Cheney a 35-0 lead. Still in the quarter, the Cardinals added a touchdown on a 10-yard run by Grover. The Bulldogs blocked the point-after kick, which was their only game highlight up to that

GODDARD – Because the Goddard High School and Eisenhower High School football teams are both still alive in the Class 5A playoffs, the Lions and Tigers will host games at Goddard District Stadium on successive days. The Lions, seeded No. 1 in the 5A West bracket, will play ninth-seeded Andover High School on Thursday at 7 p.m. The Tigers, seeded 12th in 5A West, will host 13th-seeded Salina South High School on Friday at 7 p.m. Several Goddard High School parents and team supporters took to social media last week, expressing disappointment that Goddard will not play at the traditional Friday night time, despite an undefeated record that includes a win over the Tigers. Goddard High School principal Doug Bridwell explained the thinking behind the decision in a message that was posted to the Goddard Booster Club’s Facebook page. “In situations where both teams are hosting post-season games against different opponents, the team that was the visiting team in the

regular season will play the Friday game,” Bridwell wrote. “If both teams win and another conflict arises, the team playing the Thursday game in the previous week will play the Friday game. If GHS and EHS match up in the post-season, the host school will be determined by KSHSAA guidelines (currently, higher seed hosts). The game will be played on a Friday as designated by the KSHSAA.” The Lions and Tigers have shared Goddard District Stadium, located adjacent to Goddard High School, since the 2012 season. District voters approved a $52 million bond issue this April, but it did not include funds for a second full-size stadium on the Eisenhower campus. Campaigners said that they wanted voters to know the proposal was focused on “needs,” not “wants.” The bond issue does include funds to revamp the district field house, providing dedicated locker rooms for both Eisenhower and Goddard. If both schools win their games this week, they will play at the district stadium on Friday, Nov. 10. Goddard, as the higher seed, would be the home team.
