Tiger Rally Falls Short at Pittsburg State

Posted on

FHSU-MBB-RussellThe Fort Hays State Tigers nearly erased a nine-point deficit in the final three and-a-half minutes, but a missed layup by Lance Russell with under 10 seconds to play helps the Pittsburg State Gorillas hold on for a 72-69 win Saturday afternoon at John Lance Arena in Pittsburg. The loss drips the Tigers to 10-5 and 4-3 in the MIAA. Pitt State improves to 12-4 and 5-3 in the conference.

The Tigers led by 13 with with 3:30 to play in the first half but Pitt closed the half  on a 15-2 run to tie the game at 35 at the break. The Gorillas pushed the lead to six, part of a 23-4 run. The Tigers rallied to take a 46-43 lead but Pitt responded with a 13-2 run to go up nine with 6:20 left. The Tigers were still down nine with 3:40 left when they began their comeback.

Lance Russell led the Tigers with 21 points along with nine rebounds. Craig Nicholson added 15 and seven assists, Dwayne Brunson scored 14 and Ben Congiusta 11 with seven assists.

Pitt State outscored the Tigers by 12 at the free throw line, attempting 17 more for the game. Fort Hays State , who shoot a season-low 38.8-percent from the floor, hit 12-of-26 three-pointers. Pitt was 7-for-14 beyond the arc. FHSU was even in rebounding against the MIAA second best rebounding team, and had four more on the offensive end.

American Legion Riders Say “Thanks” to Hays Police Department

Posted on

3 shot lambertMotorists are encouraged to “look twice” for motorcycles driving on the road, and the bikers themselves are defensive drivers, watching out for other, bigger vehicles that don’t see them.

The Hays American Legion Riders at Post 173 have additional help with safety when they’re riding in town.  This week the members presented a “Thank-You” to the Hays Police Department for its support.

“Every time we call, they’re there,” said Riders Director Lambert Staab.

“For some of the larger events, such as this past summer’s rally, we meet in advance with the them,” said Hays Police Lt Brandon Wright, “and then plan ahead for what kind of traffic control will be needed to keep everybody safe.”

The Hays Police Department provides traffic control for the American Legion Riders throughout the year for funeral escorts, rallies and rides. The Riders also host send-offs for troops being deployed and welcome-home events for troops coming back from deployment.

Governor and AG Seek Stronger Anti-Human Trafficking Law

Posted on

stop-human-trafficking1Kansas Governor Sam Brownback and Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced Friday they will ask the Kansas Legislature to strengthen the state’s human trafficking statutes, with an emphasis on protecting children from commercial sexual exploitation.

The bill establishes a Human Trafficking Victim Assistance Fund to provide support for those victimized by human trafficking. The fund will be paid for through mandatory fines on people convicted of human trafficking and related sex crimes.

The bill also provides for special Child in Need of Care procedures for children who have been subjected to human trafficking and expedites expungement procedures for those convicted of selling sexual relations if they were subject to coercion.

A new crime of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of a Child is created in the bill, increasing the penalties of the existing crimes of patronizing a prostitute and promoting prostitution of persons under the age of 18. Increased penalties and sentencing enhancements are included for a number of other related crimes.

The bill also includes additional training and tools for law enforcement to combat human trafficking. It will be introduced in the Senate Judiciary Committee next week.
