Cheney fulfilling expectations

JOANNA CHADWICK — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 02:27 CDT

After Cheney's 31-7 volleyball season in 2007 and all but two starters returning, coach Stacy DeVore knew her team had a chance for a special year.

Cheney is 25-0.

"We're just trying to play ball," DeVore said. "We've just got some good players that are playing pretty steady. We have high expectations for our season, there's no doubt."

Cheney, which lost to Clearwater in a Class 4A sub-state last season, is led by junior Courtney Traxson, a 5-foot-11 hitter who has orally committed to Kansas State. Traxson has a team-high 182 kills.

"She's athletic, a quick learner and she loves the sport," DeVore said. "(Kansas State) had her at camp and were really impressed with her. She can jump -- she's a high jumper, as well. She needs to gain strength, but she's hitting well this season."

Hutton, Andover win golf crowns

MATT BROWNING — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 01:38 CDT

In rainy conditions, making a par on any of the long, challenging holes at Hidden Lakes Golf Course is a challenge.

At the Class 4A regional Monday afternoon, temperatures fell into the low 50s, with a 15 mph wind and aconsistent mist fell most of the day.

Wichita Independent's Francesca Hutton managed to make five pars and made it to the clubhouse with a 92, winning medalist honors by a stroke over Cheney's Jacie Scheer.

"I'm proud of my being medalist," Hutton said. "I didn't know what to expect, especially with the conditions. It was really hard to stay focused."

Even though rain fell throughout on the front side, conditions dramatically decreased once the winds changed from the south to the north on Hutton and Scheer's seventh hole. Temperatures fell 10 degrees in a span of an hour.

Girls compete for state golf berths

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 01:38 CDT

The state's top girls tee it up at 16 high school golf regional sites today.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association has expanded girls golf into four classes this season, as opposed to the two-class division which had been in place since 1977.

The top three teams at each regional will to next Monday's state tournaments. The next five lowest individual scorers not on a qualifying team will also advance to state.

The Andover girls won the last four Class 4-1A titles. The Trojans are competing in the 4A regional today at Derby's Hidden Lakes Golf Course.

St. Thomas Aquinas, the 2007 Class 6-5A champion, is in the 5A regional at Overland Park Golf Course.

Silver Lake coach gets 300th victory

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 03:43 CDT

Silver Lake coach C.J. Hamilton joined an elite group on Oct. 3 with his team's 36-14 victory over St. Marys. It gave him 300 victories, becoming the third Kansas coach to do so.

Clifton-Clyde coach Ed Buller won 335 games, while Sedan's Les Davis won 316. McPherson coach Tom Young is nine wins from 300.

Asked if he wants to pass Davis and Buller, Hamilton chuckled and said, "I hope I get 301. That's all I'm worried about."

Hamilton's 300th win Friday night came against Riley County.

"The big thing it means is I've been very fortunate to have the opportunities I've had in this community. The community has supported what we've done very well. Having good athletes makes a big difference, and a coaching staff that's always been willing to work."

Hutch coach's tirade raises questions

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 01:43 CDT

Randy Dreiling has endeared himself to a lot of Hutchinson High football fans since taking over a losing team in 1998 and leading it to its fourth straight Class 6A football championship last year.

But some are questioning whether he is receiving preferential treatment after a minute-long, profanity-laced tirade to his team surfaced in an audio recording first posted months ago on a message board on The Eagle's Web site.

High school administrators learned of the tape by that posting and alerted superintendent David Flowers. Dreiling was given a reprimand, though few details have been released by the administration.

"Probably less formal language is used in coaching situations," Flowers said. "That may seem like a double standard," but added that there were not different standards for coaches and teachers.

That's not true, says retired Hutchinson High School social studies teacher Jerry Beasley, who said some coaches seem to feel that they aren't held to the same requirements as other teachers.

Independent loads up for state

BROOKS SEELEY — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 03:33 CDT

The move up to Class 4A hasn't slowed the Independent girls tennis team's march to state.

Independent, the defending Class 3-2-1A champion, had a dominant team performance Saturday at the Class 4A sub-state in Pratt.

The Panthers ran away with the team title by claiming the singles and doubles champions. The Panthers also qualified all six players for state.

"That was our goal coming into today, and we did a great job," Independent coach Simon Norman said. "We wanted to set ourselves up for state with a great day today and we did that."

Sophomore Caroline Lincoln breezed through the first two rounds and met Andover's Mel Mihelic in the final. Lincoln defeated Mihelic in a close match on Thursday at regionals and knew that this would be no different.

Bishop Carroll's Bell floors Kapaun

JONATHAN LONG — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 02:54 CDT

Blake Bell hadn't taken any meaningful snaps in the fourth quarter since the first week of the season.

But he didn't show any fatigue or nervousness leading his team on a 13-play, 62-yard drive that gave Bishop Carroll a 36-28 victory over Kapaun Mount Carmel, the Eagles' 10th straight over their rival.

Leading by eight, the Eagles consumed more than five minutes before Nick Seiler scored from 3 yards. Bell completed passes on fourth-and-3 at the Kapaun 24 and third-and-6 from the 14 to keep the drive alive.

"It was ugly, but we got it done," Bell said. "We hadn't had a lot of close games, but we knew we needed a sustained drive. The hitch route was working for us and we stayed with it."

Bell completed 30 of 51 passes for 350 yards and two touchdowns. He was also Carroll's top rusher with 12 carries for 40 yards and two touchdowns.

Garden Plain rolls over Trinity

MATT BROWNING — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:43 CDT

At first glance, it appeared Garden Plain wanted to run the ball using a methodical, ball-control style to outmuscle its opponent.

Based on Friday night's results, that couldn't have been further from the truth.

While still in their wishbone power formations, the Owls used only 26 plays to score 35 points in the first half and cruised to a 41-21 victory over Wichita Trinity at Maize South Field.

"We definitely have some guys that can score quick," Garden Plain coach Todd Puetz said. "That showed in the first few minutes."

Actually, the very first minute.

Wellington bombs scuttle Rose Hill

TAYLOR ELDRIDGE — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 03:11 CDT

The frustration was evident in Sage Aguilar as he trotted back to the Wellington huddle midway through the fourth quarter.

Aguilar had streaked down the field wide open on a play-action pass that quarterback Jordan Edwards threw incomplete to another receiver.

"The quarterback didn't pass it to me (the first time)," Aguilar said. "Then we ran the same play again and I was wide open again."

Same play. Different outcome.

This time Edwards stepped up and delivered a spot-on ball to Aguilar, who had once again sneaked behind the Rose Hill defense for an 80-yard strike -- the game-winning touchdown with six minutes remaining in Wellington's 14-13 victory Friday night.

Robinson rolls in Northwest victory

TREVOR MURPHY — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:37 CDT

Northwest running back Demarcus Robinson was one of the smallest players on the field Friday night, but the 5-foot-8 junior proved again why he is one of the top rushers in the City League.

Robinson rushed for 220 yards on 28 carries and found the end zone three times as the Grizzlies pounded Garden City 35-13.

"It all goes back to the offensive line," Robinson said. "They did it for us tonight. My part is the easy part. I just got behind them."

The Grizzly offense got going early. After a blocked punt on the Buffaloes' first possession, Northwest went 19 yards in six plays, capped by a 3-yard touchdown run by Brock Heithaus.

Garden City's offense was stagnant much of the first half, held to less than 100 yards and seven points. The Grizzlies continued to fire on all cylinders.

Brown scores 6 TDs as Aces roll

JORDAN BASS — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:43 CDT

East's Bryce Brown had 274 rushing yards on 13 carries and scored six touchdowns in only three quarters to lead East to a 54-0 win over West on Friday night at Heights.

Brown, who was playing with a cold according to East head coach Brian Byers, went over 1,000 yards for the season with a 32-yard touchdown on East's first offensive play. Brown scored on runs of 24, 47, 69, and 14 yards to finish with five rushing touchdowns.

Brown scored his last touchdown of the night on a 46-yard reception from quarterback Matt Byers. In a stretch during the second and third quarters, Brown reached the end zone on three consecutive carries; he ended the night with 335 total yards.

" (Brown) is an unbelievable back," Byers said. "The run he made at the start of the second half (a 69-yard, weaving touchdown run) was unbelievable."

Cameron Newton had a 55-yard kickoff return for the Pioneers, one of West's few highlights.

Derby wins with last 22

ARNE GREEN — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 03:12 CDT

Salina South quarterback Mike Stratton wandered off the field unable to believe his eyes.

Salina South had just scored seven touchdowns and totaled 448 yards on Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League Division I leader Derby, built a 21-point fourth-quarter lead, and it still wasn't enough.

"It's mind-boggling," Stratton said after watching Derby score 22 straight points in the final 7 ½ minutes Friday night to win 43-42. "I don't know what to think right now.

"I thought we had the game in the bag, but obviously Derby's a great team."

Andover stands tough

TRAVIS RICHARDSON — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 03:09 CDT

All game long, the Andover defense had been making plays.

So with Pittsburg driving near the end of the game, it was no surprise that the Trojans stopped the unbeaten Purple Dragons for a 13-9 victory Friday night.

"The defense kept coming through," Andover coach Mike Lee said. "It was one big play after another."

On its second drive, Pittsburg found itself with a short field. But the Trojan defense limited the Purple Dragons to a field goal.

On its next drive, Pittsburg again had to settle for three, but the attempt was blocked by Alex Croitoru.

Heights uses turnovers to get rolling

JOANNA CHADWICK — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 01:43 CDT

It might seem odd to say Heights had an off night offensively when the Falcons defeated South 48-6.

Heights running back Richard Dixon had 98 rushing yards, as the Falcons rushed for 232 yards. And quarterback Chris Boyd was 4 of 10 passing for 57 yards and an interception.

Fine enough numbers, but the offense was helped tremendously by the defense.

Heights forced two fumbles, Duane Sims intercepted South quarterback Spencer Hickey twice and quarterback Zach Villereal, who replaced Hickey, was intercepted once by Dedrick Roberts.

"Our (defensive line), they attacked the ball pretty well," Sims said. "They are able to shut the run down pretty good, so it forces (opponents) to pass. When they get in that predicament, then they get confused and don't know whether to run or pass.... Our line held them up and forced them to throw the ball in an awkward position."

Heights wins thriller at Carroll

JOANNA CHADWICK — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 05:41 CDT

The last time Heights won a City League volleyball title, it was 1976 and current Falcons coach Gary Thomason was 3 years old.

Thursday night, Heights put itself in position to win a league title by beating host Bishop Carroll 21-25, 25-9, 32-30. Heights, which also beat South 25-15, 25-8, has won 23 straight since dropping its season opener to Northwest.

Heights is 9-1 in the City League, the only league team with one loss. The Falcons finish with West, Kapaun Mount Carmel, North and East.

"This is pretty sweet," said senior Allison Bailey, an out-of-state transfer this season. "I'm glad I could be there for the girls. I know that they wanted it and I wanted to win it for them. Lindsay (Moss) came up to me and cried after the game."

After losing the first game to Carroll while committing 14 unforced errors -- including six as Carroll took a 9-2 lead -- the Falcons came back strong in Game 2.

North gets first win in double OT

JEFFREY LUTZ — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 06:04 CDT

North football coach Tom Beason braced for a chest bump from Adam Burrell then backed off, realizing Burrell was still in full pads.

If Beason appeared uncertain about how to celebrate a win, it's because he hasn't had many with the Redskins.

North captured its first victory of the season Thursday night and snapped its winless start came with plenty of drama.

Southeast was unable to convert a two-point conversion in the second overtime and the Redskins held on to win 42-41. It was North's third win since the start of last season, Beason's first.

"We fake punted, we onside kicked, we reversed," Beason said. "You do whatever you can to win when you're not as good as they are. I'm hoping this was it -- we had to have something good happen to us."

Maize wins 6A tennis regional

BROOKS SEELEY — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 01:36 CDT

Maize began the girls tennis season with a tough act to follow -- the Eagles finished second at last year's Class 6A tournament.

This year's squad is faring well too, though. Maize won the Class 6A regional at Goddard on Thursday, winning the singles title and placing 1-2 in doubles.

In singles, sophomore Tiffany Khounsombath defeated Goddard junior Courtney Coad 6-2, 6-2 for first place. It was the third time Khounsombath defeated Coad, twice in the last two weeks.

"This feels great, to win this tournament is a great accomplishment," Khounsombath said.

Maize's Meredith Marney and Jackie Frentz took the doubles title, beating teammates Kylie Jobe and Kelby Deterding in the final.

Salina Central tops Derby in OT

JONATHAN LONG — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 05:44 CDT

Salina Central failed to take advantage of several scoring opportunities in regulation of Thursday's boys soccer game.

Central didn't have that problem in overtime.

With 5:39 left in the opening overtime period, the Mustangs' Craig Knox sped past Derby defenders and then beat goalkeeper Nathan Garrison to give his team a 1-0 victory.

Salina Central can clinch the AV-CTL I league title with a win or tie in its final league game against Hutchinson.

After stopping a scoring opportunity for the Panthers, the Mustangs' Jack Shoup pushed the ball up the sideline. Shoup had plenty of open space, but noticed Knox running down the field and lofted a perfect pass over the defense to his teammate.

East hit hard by knee injuries

JOANNA CHADWICK — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 06:04 CDT

The East football team has been hit hard with injuries -- anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

Freshman C.J. Bruce, Bryce Brown's backup at running back, was the first to tear an ACL in the season opener when he was on the kickoff team against North.

The next week against Dodge City, senior defensive tackle Alex Riffle tore an ACL on an interception return against Dodge City. Two weeks later, starting sophomore center Jonathan Nelson tore an ACL against South.

"It's tough. They're kids that you lose for the season," East coach Brian Byers said. "They all play a big part of the team, and they're out for the year. I feel sorry for them.

"... They're all good kids, they're in good spirits, they're always around."

Getting to know - Staisha Miller-Diaz

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 05:38 CDT

STAISHA MILLER-DIAZ

WEST GIRLS GOLF

Miller-Diaz is a freshman at West, but because the Pioneers don't have a golf team, she has been playing for South all season. But regionals are on Monday, and while South and coach Travis Rogers will be at Garden City's Class 6A regional, Miller-Diaz will be the lone golfer representing West at Arkansas City's 5A regional.

Are you disappointed that West doesn't have a golf team?

"I guess not many students are interested in it.... I'm getting used to the fact that they don't have a golf team, so I got to meet more people from different schools, got to know different things. But now that I can't play for South and I have to go as a West High student, it's kind of different. I wish (West) had a team. Everything's on me. I'm the only one from West."

Hard work can change a team's fortunes

JONATHAN LONG — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 05:43 CDT

Perseverance and belief.

That's what West High soccer coach David Cobb said it took to turn his program around. The Pioneers are one of several teams that have found winning ways after struggling in past years.

After winning six games in three previous years under Cobb, the Pioneers notched their seventh win of the season by beating South on Tuesday.

"The boys really believe that they can win," Cobb said. "The core group of the team were freshmen when I started and they've stuck with it. Now they are seeing the results of their hard work."

It's been a tough road for the Pioneers. Though they've been one of the more successful teams at the school, the soccer program hadn't been able to find success against its City League foes. Wins over Northwest and North broke double-digit losing streaks against both.

Top test awaits Andover runner

TAYLOR ELDRIDGE — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 01:42 CDT

Andover cross country runner Tom O'Connell doesn't always find serious competition when he steps on the course.

So far this season O'Connell has won all four races he's competed in, including last week's Winfield Invitational. But when the Trojans travel to the Circle Invitational today, O'Connell will have all he can handle in Mulvane, the No. 1-ranked team in the state.

"I think he's looking forward to it," Andover coach Ryan Harshaw said. "He always mentions in practice how he wishes there was more competition in meets. We don't see Mulvane all the time, so I think he kind of looks forward to those very competitive races."

"Very competitive" might be an understatement -- O'Connell will potentially duel with Mulvane's top runner David Roberts. But unlike Roberts, O'Connell lacks one of the state's top teams to practice with.

"He pushes himself in practice," Harshaw said. "He's got a real good work ethic. His goal is to become an individual state champion. He's been league and regional champion, so he's pushing himself really hard to get (the state champion) done."
