Owls secure fourth volleyball championship By Travis Mounts

The Garden Plain Owls are the Class 2A State volleyball champions. The Owls won their third State championship for head coach Gina Clark on Saturday. It’s the fourth State volleyball title in school history. The went 2-1 in Friday’s pool play, earning the runner-up spot in their pool and advancing to Saturday’s final four. Clark has taken the Owls to State five times since 2008, and has advanced to the second day of play each time. In addition to their three titles under Clark, the Owls have a second-place finish and a third-place finish. The Owls, the No. 5 seed in the tournament, faced No. 2 Smith Center in their Saturday morning semifinal. A potential rematch loomed with the top seed, undefeated St. Mary’s Colgan, which handed Garden Plain a 25-20, 25-20 defeat in Friday’s pool play. But the Owls’ weren’t thinking about a potential rematch. “Friday night, the only thing we talked about was Smith Center,” said Clark. While the Owls were a bit off
during play on Friday, they were sharp on Saturday. “We were confident and excited. We were confident because we felt we didn’t play as well on Friday as we could have. We had untapped potential,” Clark said. Garden Plain and Smith Center played an entertaining match, with the Owls winning 25-14, 17-25, 2518. The Owls had some trouble serving against Smith Center, but that was fine with Clark, who said the Owls are aggressive when serving. “It’s not unusual for us to miss three, four or five serves in a match, as long as you match it with aces,” she said. It turns out, the Owls didn’t need to worry about Colgan. Wabaunsee, the No. 6 seed in the tournament, eliminated the tournament’s top seed, giving them their first loss 2725, 25-22. Colgan didn’t ever recover from that loss, and fell 25-14, 25-17 in the third-place match. That left the Owls playing in the title match against a team they hadn’t prepared for. “I hadn’t spent much time scouting Wabaunsee,” Clark said. “We just went out and played.” The strategy worked. The teams battled back and forth through the first set, and were tied at 21. Wa-

baunse scored two straight points for a 23-21 lead and were poised to take the first set from the Owls. After a Garden Plain sideout made it 23-22, Wabaunsee got to set point at 24-22 with a sideout of their own. The first set turned around during a late timeout by Garden Plain. “I gave a silly question. I asked them, ‘How do you eat an elephant?’” Clark said. “I said, ‘We’re going to eat it one bite at a time.’” The Owls scored two straight points to tie the set at 24. Another sideout to Wabaunsee made it 2524. Then behind the serving of Alli Puetz, the Owls scored three straight points to win the set 27-25. That comeback fueled the Owls, who owned the second set. An early 2-1 lead quickly became a 15-7 advantage, forcing Wabaunsee to take a timeout. That was not enough to break Garden Plain’s momentum. The Owls quickly increased their lead to 20-10. Behind the serves of Natasha Dooley and then Nikole Puetz, the Owls finished off Wabaunsee and the celebration began. By the middle of the second set, Garden Plain’s victory seemed inevitable.

Goddard rides big first half to win over Circle Lions get rematch with Jaguars By Travis Mounts
The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com
The Goddard Lions scored 37 first-half points en route to a 46-6 win over the Circle Thunderbirds in last Friday’s first-round game in the Class 4A football playoffs. The Lions found the end zone twice in the first quarter, then added 24 more points before halftime to put the game away before the second half began. Kyler Semrad threw two touchdown passes and Ben Bannister ran for three scores in the blowout win. Bannister caught one of those passes and Blake Mitchell grabbed the other, and Dhimani Butler also ran for a touchdown. Bannister, a senior, ran for 114 yards, and Jared Mocaby and Butler ran for 38 and 34 yards, respectively. Semrad was 16-for27 passing, accounting for 219 of Goddard’s 227 passing yards, and eight different receivers had catches for positive yards. Kaeden Hoefer had a team-high 67 yards on three catches. Mitchell had 56 receiving yards, and sophomore Soren Carr had 42 yards on two catches, including a 35yard catch. Hoefer had the game’s longest catch-andrun, going for 42 yards. “Our expectation was a win. We felt like we were good enough in all areas to be dominant. They had a couple guys we were worried would make some big plays, and they did,”
said Goddard head coach Tom Beason. He said the defense did was expected, despite losing defensive leader KamRon Gonzalez. “Offensively, we’re still not where we could be yet, but we’ve made so many strides the last four weeks. We’ve turned the corner,” Beason said. With just 11 starts, sophomore quarterback Semrad has shown improvement. Bannister carried a big load with his four touchdowns. Bannister also returned an interception to the 1-yard line. “He had a pretty good night,” Beason said. This is the fourth straight year the Lions have secured a winning record, and they have advanced the playoff for five consecutive seasons. The Friday’s home game brings a rematch, as the Andover Central Jaguars come to Goddard District Stadium. The teams met in Week 3 in Goddard, and the Lions escaped with a 17-16 overtime victory. Since the, the Jaguars have made changes, including moving from a 3-4 defense to a 4-2. “The adjust as time goes on,” Beason said. “I think they’ll be a better team. I know we’re a better team.” The Lions, the No. 3 seed in the Class 4A West division, now stands at 7-2. Andover Central, the No. 6 team is 5-4 following last week’s 16-7 victory over Augusta. The winner of this week’s game will advance to face either No. 2 Wellington (7-2) or No. 7 Buhler (5-4). Friday’s kickoff in Goddard is at 7 p.m.

Owls get another shot at Celtics
By Travis Mounts
The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com
Following Friday’s 45-6 victory over Douglass, the Garden Plain Owls will get another shot at the Trinity Catholic Celtics this week in Friday’s regional football game in Hutchinson. The Owls tamed the Douglass Bulldogs for the second time this season, knocking the Bulldogs out of the playoffs. Douglass won the District 5 title and had a 7-1 regular season record. Their only defeats this season came at the hands of the Owls. A pair of touchdowns in each of the first two quarters gave the Owls control
of the game by halftime. Douglass fumbled on the second play from scrimmage, and on the next play Caleb Hitt gave the Owls a 7-0 lead just 37 seconds into the game with a 37-yard touchdown run. Garden Plain extended that lead to 14-0 when Dylan Hahn found Trey Smith for a 21-yard touchdown pass. “It kind of rolled from there,” said Garden Plain head coach Ken Dusenbury. “We’ve made a lot of improvements this year. Everybody did their jobs and played really hard.” In the second quarter, Hahn ran for a 29-yard touchdown, and the Owls followed that up with an-
other scoring drive capped by a 10-yard Locke Byers scoring run. Garden Plain led 27-0 at halftime. The Owls came out strong in the second half, as well, as Matt Pauly returned the opening kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown and a 35-0 lead just 13 seconds into the half. Still in the third, Garden Plain added a 17-yard touchdown run by John Nowak and a 34-yard Nick Bugner field goal. The Bulldogs broke the shutout with a touchdown with just over four minutes left in the game. Garden Plain dominated the ground game, rushing for 277 yards while giving up just 90. The owls were 4-for-7 passing for an-
other 69 yards. Douglass through for 92 yards. Nick Bugner had a interception for the defense, and the Owls also recovered a Douglass fumble. Hahn was the game’s top rusher with 83 yards, and he passed for 69. Nowak and Hitt each ran for 53 yards, while Jake Landwehr had 36 and Byers contributed 31 yards. The Owls were able to substitute for their starters in the fourth quarter. “We got out of there healthy, and that’s good,” Dusenbury said. Now the Owls will try to exact some revenge on Trinity while moving on in the playoffs. Trinity handed the Owls
their first loss five weeks, taking advantage of two early scores in a 20-7 win. The Owls made a couple early mistakes that helped the Celtics, but after that matched the Celtics blowfor-blow. Dusenbury said at the time it felt like a missed opportunity. Now the Owls have a chance to make up for that game. But the coach said the Owls don’t need extra motivation. “Playoffs are enough. Trinity is a really good team. They’re 8-1 for a reason,” he said. “It’s a great experience for our team. It’s fun to play a team like this.” He said the Owls will need to play fast and physical to get a win on Friday.
The competition gets much tougher from here. Last Friday, 14 of 16 playoff games in Class 2A were decided by three or more touchdowns. Fourteen of the 16 remaining teams have two or fewer losses, and three are undefeated. The Owls (6-3) and McLouth High School (5-4) are the only teams with more than two losses. “Everybody’s wellcoach. Everybody’s good. Everybody’s got talented athletes,” Dusenbury said. Garden Plain hosted the first game against Trinity. Friday’s rematch will be in Hutchinson. The winner will take on either Cimarron or Hoisington. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.
Mustangs win rematch over Tigers
Head coach announces resignation after playoff loss By Travis Mounts
The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com
The Eisenhower Tigers were eliminated from the Class 5A football playoffs last Friday, suffering a 20-6 road loss to the Salina Central Mustangs. The defeat was a bookend for the Tigers, who opened their season with a 44-7 loss at Central.
Central jumped out to a 20-0 first-half lead before the Tigers rallied to score before halftime. Central scored on the opening drive, driving to the Eisenhower 6-yard line and scoring a touchdown on a fake field goal. A 99-yard scoring drive gave Central a 13-0 lead early in the second quarter, and Central took advantage of a 2-yard Eisenhower punt to strike again with 9:30 left in the first half. The Tigers got on the board later in the second quarter with a 5-play, 60-yard drive that ended with Parker Wenzel’s 2-yard touchdown run. Eisenhower had multiple chances to pull even with the Mustangs in the second half,
driving into Central territory five times after the break. But the Tigers were unable to convert those opportunities into points, with a missed field goal, two interceptions and turning the ball over on downs. The loss drops the Tigers to 3-6 on the season. After the game, Marc Marinelli resigned as the Tigers’ head coach. He announced his decision on Twitter. He thanks administrators, “The Zoo” student section, fellow educators, the dance cheer teams, his wife and the players. “At the end of this, it is the relationships and love for those people I will carry with me forever. However, it is time for a
change at The Ike. It is time for someone else to come in and lead the program to the next level. The talent is there but I feel that I ultimately failed in leading these great young men to the next step. I look back not with sadness but with pride,” he wrote in part. Eisenhower High School opened in August 2012, and during that fall, Goddard and Eisenhower played one final season as a single football team. Marinelli was named as the Tigers’ first head coach, starting with the 2013 season. The Tigers recorded a pair of 2-7 seasons in 2013 and 2014. Goddard also struggled those first seasons after the split, going 2-7 and 3-7.
Marinelli lead Eisenhower to its first winning season in 2015, going 7-5 and advancing to the 5A State semifinal. The Tigers went 3-6 in 2016, missing the playoffs. The 2017 season started poorly, with the Tigers going 0-5 including a 2-point loss and a 3-point loss. But then the Tigers strung together five straight wins, including a firstround playoff victory over Salina South. The Tigers lost in the second-round to crosstown rival Goddard. Marinelli was twice named to the Kansas Shrine Bowl coaching staff, serving as head coach in 2017 and as an assistant in 2016.

The Eisenhower Tigers girls cross country team finished its 2018 season with a State trophy in hand. The team took third in Class 5A at Rim Rock Farm on Saturday, finishing only 2 points behind second-place Bishop Carroll. Kennedy Nicholson and Alyssa Nelson finished 10th and 11th, winning individual medals. “They did great; that’s exactly what I wanted from them,” Tigers head coach Jeff Taylor said. “What really put us over the top was we had Kaitlynn Hayes, Abby Bachman and Jadyn Pavlik all coming in at 20:30, right at the same time. I really think that

in 16:28.5 and crushing the EHS 5K record by 9 seconds. “That might’ve been the race of the day for us, on an individual basis,” Taylor said. Benjamin Roberts took 25th to finish his career with the second-fast-

The Eisenhower Tigers boys soccer team’s season ended in a regional final last Thursday, Oct. 25, at Maize South. The Tigers lost 2-1 in double overtime. EHS player Carlos Fernan-
dez struck first, scoring to put the Tigers up 1-0 with 14 minutes left in the game’s first half. The Tigers held onto that 1-0 lead until there were only 7 minutes left on the clock. Then Maize South’s Bryce Bowman scored on a corner kick to send the game to overtime. The first overtime period
expired with no one scoring. In the second overtime, Maize South’s Andrew Bliss scored the game-winning goal. The Tigers reached the regional final with a 3-1 home win over Maize High School last Tuesday, Oct. 23. They finished their season with a 13-5 record.

Chapman’s second-half push too much for Clearwater By Travis Mounts
The Times-Sentinel news@tsnews.com
Clearwater and Chapman met Friday night in the first round of the Class 3A football playoffs, both bringing run-first teams with strong quarterbacks. But the Chapman Fighting Irish brought more experience than the younger Indians, and were able to find the end zone more easily as they defeated Clearwater 48-14. “They started nine seniors and we started nine sophomores. They’re bigger and more physically mature, and very physical. Our margin of error was very small. We hung with them for a while,” said Clearwater head coach Jeremy Scheufler. The Indians fell behind 14-0 in the first half, but were still in the game at halftime, thanks to an interception return for a touchdown by Tanner Cash. The Irish had driven to the Clearwater 30-yard line when Cash picked off Chapman’s Izek Jackson and returned the ball 88 yards. That cut Chapman’s lead in half, 14-7. But three third-quarter touchdowns helped Chapman put the game away. After the Irish went up
28-7, the Indians put together their only offensive scoring drive of the game. The Indians drove from their 44-yard line to the Irish 40 before Cash found Tres Moreland open inside the 20 and Moreland ran the rest of the way for a 40-yard touchdown pass. That cut Chapman’s lead to 28-14, but the Irish returned the ensuing kickoff 83 yards for a touchdown and a 34-14 lead. Two more Chapman touchdowns in the fourth quarter erased any hopes for a late Clearwater comeback. The Indians gave up the ball on two interceptions, the second one leading to a second-half touchdown for Chapman. “We fought hard. I never felt like we lost control of the game,” Scheufler said. “We took away their No. 1 option, and really, their No. 2. They were deep enough to have a third option.” The Indians ran for 133 yards, including 144 from Cash and 20 from Moreland. Cash completed five of 16 passes for 58 yards. Chapman’s Blake Vercher had a tremendous night running the ball, gaining 231 of the Irish’s 420 rushing yards. Chapman attempted only six passes,
completing three for 26 yards. The Indians finished the season 4-5, improving on their 2017 season where they recorded just one win.
“We’re young and we feel like we’re on an upswing,” Scheufler said. Out of 56 players, only 17 are juniors or seniors. “We need to improve our passing game, improve our
team speed.” They returned to the playoffs for the first time since 2015. Clearwater went 3-2 in the new five-game district format, winning three consecutive
games over Cheney, Haven and Wichita Trinity, and lost a back-and-forth battle with Collegiate by just a single touchdown as the teams battled for a home playoff game.

The Smoky Valley Vikings ran for 407 yards against the Cheney Cardinals last Friday, while the Vikings’ defense grabbed five interceptions in a 43-6 playoff rout. The Cardinals end their season with a 2-7 record, but did earn a playoff berth in the first season of the new sixteam district format. The teams played to a scoreless draw in the first quarter, but the momentum was with the Vikings. Cheney punted twice in the quarter, while Smoky Valley put together a long drive deep into Cheney territory before the Cardinals’ defense stopped the drive on a fourth-and-6 at the Cheney 15-yard line. The teams traded punts at the start of the second quarter before Smoky Valley scored on a three-play, 49-yard drive. A 45-yard run on first down was the key play. A second touchdown in the quarter gave the Vikings a 14-0 halftime lead. Smoky Valley put the game away in the third quarter with three touchdowns, the last on an interception that gave the Vikings a 37-0 lead. The Vikings added one more score early in the fourth quarter. Cheney’s lone touchdown came with 3:25 left in the game. The Cardinals made a fourth-down stop on the Vikings near

midfield. Cheney’s Kauy Kuhn completed a 7-yard pass to Riley Petz, then had runs of 39 yards and 1 yard for the score. “We have a lot of respect for Smoky Valley. They’re a good team,” said Cheney head coach Shelby Wehrman. “They handled us on the line. Landon Gegen was probably our only guy who could handle them.” Gegen recorded 17 total tackles, and Seth Teague logged 19 tackles. “They were out biggest contributors on defense,” Wehrman said. “Seth was hurt most of last year, so he really improved as this year went on.” Cheney ran for 90 yards in the game, with Kuhn accounting for 86 yards of those yards. He was 9-for-20 passing for 94 yards. Petz was the top target, catching seven of eight passes for 71 yards. The Cardinals had a rough start to their season, starting 0-5, but they strung together back-to-back wins to go 2-3 in district play and earn the fourth and final playoff berth in 3A District 6. It was a strong district, although Andale is the only team from the district to win last its playoff game last week. Wehrman said the Cardinals’ players did improve during the season, learning more each week. “Our underclassment started to figure out they can contribute. We were a pretty young team. It was encouraging to see our sophomores (the Cardinals’ largest class) get better,” he said.

Owls From Page 1B “I thought we played well on Saturday,” Clark said. She didn’t realize how well until she looked at the stats later. The Owls logged 33 kills against only eight errors. Natasha Dooley led the team with 12 kills and Abby Gordon added six. Others with kills were Alli Puetz (5), Sydnee Becker (4), Claire Clark (3), Kara Heimerman (2) and Nikole Puetz (1). Defensively, the Owls logged six blocks and 49 digs. Kennedy Horacek led the team with 14. Other players with digs were: Alli Puetz (9), Christia Rose Gorges (8), Heimerman (7), Dooley (6), Nikole Puetz (4), and Becker (1). Garden Plain scored just six aces, with two each from Nikole Puetz, Alli Puetz and Dooley. Against Smith Center, Dooley had 17 of the Owls 30 kills, Gordon and Alli Puetz were next with four each. The Owls had 13 aces, led by Dooley with six and Alli Puetz with four. Garden Plain notched 59 digs, with 21 by Horacek and 11 by Alli Puetz. On Friday morning, the Owls cruised to a 25-18, 25-14 win over Maranatha Academy. After sitting out a couple matches, Garden Plain lost in two close sets to Colgan 25-20, 25-22, then turned around won a must-win match against Valley Heights, 25-13, 25-23. Clark said the Owls played well in the opener against Marantha Academy, but didn’t live up to their potential against Colgan. Even though Garden Plain beat Valley Heights in two sets, Clark said the Owls let Valley Heights stay closer than they should have been. Three Garden Plain players were named to the all-State team: senior Nikole Puetz and juniors Natasha Dooley and Kennedy Horacek. Clark said it was a nice honor for Nikole Puetz, whose efforts sometimes get overlooked. “She played so steady on Friday and Saturday. She served well down the stretch Saturday and had some key aces,” Clark said. “She’s quiet but she’s a competitor.” Somebody who contributed without playing much was senior Lauren Danahy, who suffered an ankle injury during substate. Danahy did play a little on Friday, coming in to serve, but she had not healed enough to handle the jumping and landing needed to play along the front line. Gorges, a sophomore, play a lot in her place. “Lauren supported Christa Rose all week in practice. She didn’t care who was out there. She’s an oustanding teammate,” Clark said. “What Lauren brings to our team is super consistency. She isn’t the hardest hitter, but she’s doesn’t make mistakes.” The Owls have made it to the final four in all five of their State appearances under Clark. She gave credit to longtime Clearwater volleyball coach Ernie Beachey, who offered some advice to Clark before her first State trip with the Owls. “He said some teams go into State and are awed. Others go in and feel they’re so cool. The third goes in and takes advantage of the opportunity,” she said. It probably helped that many of the Owls on this year’s squad helped the school win a State basketball title back in March. Garden Plain has now won State titles under Clark in 2008, 2015 and 2018. They also have placed third and second. The previous appearances were in Class 3A. The team will lose five seniors to graduation: Nikole Puetz, Alli Puetz, Heimerman, Danahy and Becca Smith. Seven players with significant varsity experience will return. Location does not seem to matter for the Owls, who have won their championships under Clark in Salina, Emporia and now Hays.
