Posted on

Beloit 60, TMP 21

Beloit outscored TMP 28-0 in the 3rd Quarter Friday night to blow open a close game with the visitors from Hays. The Trojans led 24-14 at halftime and used one offensive and three defensive touchdowns in the third to help blow out the Monarchs 60-21.

TMP scored three touchdowns on the night.  A 65-yard Chase Romme touchdown run on the first offensive play of the game for the Monarchs put TMP on the board.  Gavin Schumacher added a couple of scores for TMP as well. He was on the receiving end of a 36-yard touchdown strike from Romme with under a minute to play in the first half. He also hauled in a 42-yard touchdown pass from Luke Ruder in the 4th Quarter.

TMP drops to 1-6 overall and 0-1 in Class 3A, District 14 play.  The Monarchs will host Russell on Friday night at Lewis Field Stadium.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Edinson Volquez gave the Blue Jays another reason to rue him Friday night.

The Royals right-hander combined with three relievers on a three-hitter, Salvador Perez hit a soaring home run off Toronto starter Marco Estrada, and Kansas City rolled to a 5-0 victory in Game 1 of their American League Championship Series.

Volquez (1-1) ramped up his fastball to 97 mph to slice through a potent Blue Jays offense, never allowing a runner past second base over six innings. His only trouble occurred when he walked the first two batters in the sixth, but he wiggled out of it without any damage.

The Royals’ bullpen finished off the club’s eighth consecutive ALCS victory.

Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain drove in runs off Estrada (1-1), while Eric Hosmer and Kendrys Morales tacked on two more off LaTroy Hawkins to put the game away.

The Blue Jays’ three hits were their fewest ever in a postseason game.

Posted on

By Dustin Armbruster

The Hays High Indians opened district play with the undefeated Buhler Crusaders on Friday Night.  Buhler had only given up 41 points in their first six games, which included three shut-out wins.  Buhler entered the night ranked #2 in class 4A-1.  It was the first time Hays had played an opponent that was not in Class 5A or 6A.

The Indians forced Buhler into a change of possession on downs to start the game.  Hays then had their punt blocked and recovered at the 1 yard line to set up the Crusaders to with their first score of the night one play later.  Hays blocked the extra point to keep the score at 6-0.  Hays responded on their next drive scoring on a 43 yard touchdown pass from Kohlton Meyers to Keith Dryden on 3rd a 21.  The score and Logan Clark extra point gave the Indians a 7-6 lead in the first quarter.

Highlights

 

Hays would hold that lead until midway through the second quarter.  At that point Buhler would score three touchdowns in less than five minutes to go up 25-7 at halftime.

The Indians opened the second half driving with the football but fumbled the ball that Buhler returned 40 yards for a touchdown.  Buhler would go on for the 46-14 win.  Dylan Schmidtberger scored his first career touchdowns for the Indians in the fourth quarter for their second score of the night.

Coach Rath

 

Hays falls to 2-5 and 0-1 in district play.  Buhler is now 7-0 for the eighth time in school history.

Hays travels to 7-0 Abilene next week.  Abilene beat McPherson 26-17 on Friday moving to 1-0 in district play.

FHSU Athletics

MARYVILLE, Mo. – The Fort Hays State women’s soccer team bounced back with a big MIAA win on Friday (Oct 16), a 3-0 decision against Northwest Missouri State after dropping their previous two conference matches. With the win the Tigers moved to 7-6 overall and 4-3 in the MIAA, while NWMSU went to 2-7-3 overall and 1-5-1 in the MIAA.

Ember Albertson got the offense going for the Tigers when she scored her second goal of the season at the 13:54 mark. Albertson received a pass from Kelsey Steffens, beat a defender, and then buried the ball past the keeper to give the Tigers the 1-0 lead.

Cassi Moosburger added her third goal of the season when she received ball from Albertson that the diving Bearcat keeper could not get to, leaving the net wide open to push the FHSU lead to 2-0 at 52:46.

Salvana Romero joined the offensive party when she scored her first goal of the season and put the game out of reach in the 72nd minute. She was able to head the ball beyond the keeper on a good group effort with passes from Veronica Kurtz and Hannah Jurgens.

Abby Flax was the winning goalkeeper for the Tigers, recording her second win of the season by saving four shots. Flax is 2-1 overall.

Next up for the Tigers is Missouri Western in St. Joseph, Mo., on Sunday (Oct. 18) at 12 pm.

Kan. statistician garners support for suit over voting machines

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita mathematician seeking to audit voting machine tapes after finding statistical anomalies in election counts is getting legal and other support in pursuing her lawsuit.

Wichita State University statistician Beth Clarkson had been pursuing the case herself, but now has a Wichita lawyer representing her. Other people have set up a non-profit foundation for donations.

A Sedgwick County judge is expected to set filing deadlines and a trial date at a Monday hearing.

Clarkson has analyzed election returns in Kansas and elsewhere over several elections that indicate “a statistically significant” pattern where the percentage of Republican votes increase the larger the size of the precinct. The pattern could indicate election fraud.

Her attorney, Randy Rathbun, says Clarkson convinced him that she is right, and somebody needed to help her.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Waking up hundreds of miles above the Himalayas, astronaut Scott Kelly broke the U.S. record Friday for the most time spent in space with 383 days.

Kelly is more than halfway through a yearlong mission at the International Space Station and will eventually set a record for the longest single U.S. space mission.

Kelly tweeted back to Earth that he hopes that his eventual 500 plus days in orbit will be exceeded by someone visiting Mars. He tweeted that his day began with a strikingly beautiful view of the Himalayas and vowed to visit them.

Kelly and his ex-astronaut twin Mark, on the ground, are part of an experiment on the long-term effects of space.

Russia’s Gennady Padalka holds the record with 879 days in space.

Driver hospitalized after semi travels into a Kan. pond

Posted on

Screen Shot 2014-07-03 at 5.13.15 AMGARNETT –A semi driver was injured in an accident just before 4p.m. on Friday in Anderson County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2007 Feightliner semi driven by Hamza Jama Gorod, 29, Kansas City, was northbound on U.S. 169 five miles south of Garnet.

The semi left the roadway on the west side. The driver tried to maneuver the truck back onto the roadway. He over corrected, went back into the ditch and then into a pond.

Gorod was transported to the hospital in Garnett. He was properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the KHP.

Appeals court rules in favor of Google’s massive online library.

Posted on

Screen Shot 2015-10-16 at 9.23.09 AMNEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court says Google is not violating copyright laws by digitizing books for a massive online library.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City ruled Friday, agreeing with a judge who concluded that the snippets that Google showed customers from its database did not violate copyright laws.

The Authors Guild and various authors had challenged Google, contending that the digital book project violated their rights.

Mountain View, California-based Google Inc. has made digital copies of tens of millions of books from major libraries and established a publicly available search function.

The appeals court says Google’s profit motivation does not in these circumstances justify denial of what is a fair use of the books’ content.

Lawyers did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Kan. Gas Service fined for issues locating underground lines

Posted on

Screen Shot 2015-10-16 at 10.05.10 AMTOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A state agency has fined Kansas Gas Service $7,000 over problems with locating underground gas lines.

The Kansas Corporation Commission originally approved $14,000 in penalties related to incidents in the Kansas City area, but cut the amount in half after KGS sought reconsideration.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports  gas utilities must provide accurate information about where lines are within two days because of dangers if a line is struck and natural gas is released. KCC staff reported finding 149 instances of noncompliance related to KGS in the past two years.

The utility attributes the problems to an unusually high number of requests to locate gas lines in Johnson and Wyandotte counties, and said work laying fiber-optic cables drove that increase. KGS also says it’s made changes to address the problem.

Parole denied for man convicted in Kan. toddler’s beating death

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The state parole board has denied parole to a 40-year-old man convicted of killing a Topeka toddler in 1995.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the Kansas Prisoner Review Board has denied release to Glenn Allen Heath, and won’t consider parole for him again until October 2018.

Heath was convicted of first-degree murder in the October 1995 beating death of 2-year-old Cain Baker. He’s serving a life sentence at the Lansing Correctional Facility.

The prisoner review board considered Heath for parole once previously, in 2010, and passed him for consideration for five years.

The Corrections Department says board members chose not to grant parole because of the serious nature and circumstances of Heath’s crime, public objections to his potential parole and because he denies responsibility for the crime.
