In watching the last two football games of the FHSU Tigers, I couldn’t help but comment publicly:
First, the game against Northwest Missouri State on Saturday, November 3rd: I certainly don’t want to take anything away from the athletes and coaches for their dramatic victory, but the TV coverage was pitiful. Granted, I’ve become spoiled with the play-by-play coverage of Gerard Wellbrock, but the commentators were terrible, the cameramen must have been sleeping some of the time, and the 21 Cox and Hutchinson Community College commercials in the first half, some back to back, left a whole lot to be desired. I find it hard to believe that, for such an important Div. II game that more professionalism was not provided.
Secondly, a few comments on the matchup with the University of Indianapolis on November 17th: For you that did not watch or listen to the game, FHSU had the lead (24-17) and plenty of momentum in the third quarter, before a targeting infraction was called on one of the Tigers. Instead of a loss of 4 yards, Indy received a first down, and one of the Tigers’ best defenders, Doyin Jibowu was ejected from the game. I watched the replay several times, and I’m not sure what the referees saw, but it was certainly not targeting. So Doyin, who I understand is just a class act in every way, ends his football career with his first ejection, ever. What a great way to end someone’s football career.
Shortly thereafter, Indy took advantage of Jibowu’s absence and scored a touchdown to tie the game.
Next Layne Bieberle makes a fantastic catch in the end zone for a touchdown, only to have it called back for offensive pass interference. In watching the entire game, there were numerous pass plays with plenty more contact than this play, but again, the refs used their own interference to take away a touchdown from FHSU.
I once had a wrestling coach that told me that the referees never decided whether I won or lost, that it was up to me to decide. I have believed that through all these years — until now. The officials are totally responsible for this loss. Coach Brown, Dr. Mason, Dr. Hammond, and Gerard are too classy to complain about this and may even say, “This is just one of life’s challenges.” No disrespect to any of them, but this game was taken away from a very good football team by officials with great big imaginations.
All the hot August days, all of the weightlifting, watching film, two-a-days, etc. end on a very sour note because of incompetent officiating. Shame on you!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching Tiger Football. I only wish I could watch a few more Tiger games this year.
WICHITA — Motorists in Kansas and across America can add cheaper gas prices to their list of things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving holiday. As nearly 49 million motorists nationwide take to the roads for the upcoming holiday, they can enjoy some of the lowest prices at the pumps in 2018.
Kansas pump prices
Today’s average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in Kansas is $2.36, which is down 11 cents in the past week, down 33 cents from one month ago, and four cents lower than one year ago.
The rapidly falling gas prices of late in Kansas have earned some important distinctions for their affordability:
Kansas currently has the 8th cheapest gas prices in the country.
The 33-cent price decline in Kansas in the past month ranks as the 6th largest drop in America.
“Despite seeing higher gas prices throughout most of 2018 compared to last year, Kansans hitting the road for Thanksgiving will find pump prices that have fallen significantly in the past month and which are now cheaper than a year ago as well,” said Shawn Steward, AAA Kansas spokesman. “When it comes time to fill up during the trip, motorists should keep in mind that gas stations along highly traveled routes may have prices more expensive than in-town. Before setting out for the long Thanksgiving weekend, AAA recommends motorists download the free AAA Mobile app to find the lowest gas prices in their area.”
As usual, today’s average gas prices across Kansas vary by location:
Dodge City – $2.37
Emporia – $2.37
Goodland – $2.48
Hays – $2.44
Kansas City, Kan. – $2.34
Lawrence – $2.24
Manhattan – $2.57
Pittsburg – $2.32
Salina – $2.29
Topeka – $2.44
Wichita – $2.26
Today’s gas price extremes in Kansas are:
HIGH: Elkhart (Morton County) – $2.80
LOW: Benton (Butler County) – $2.18
Gas prices across America
Today’s national gas price average is $2.62, which is eight cents less than a week ago and the largest one-week decline in pump price this year. A year ago, the average national price was $2.54.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Even before the fourth lead change of the fourth quarter, well before the 1,001st yard of combined offense was tallied, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Rams already knew this was a classic.
Two powerhouse NFL teams at the peak of their brilliance dueled deep into the night at an ecstatic Coliseum, racking up eye-popping numbers that stretched the box score and credulity.
There were 14 touchdowns, including three by defensive players. There were 56 first downs. There were 105 points, with 50 from each team — the first time that’s ever happened in an NFL game.
In the final moments, the Rams did just enough to leave with a win they’ll savor for years.
And if these teams meet again at the Super Bowl in 2 1/2 months, the Chiefs will remember the sting from coming up just short.
Jared Goff threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Gerald Everett for the go-ahead score with 1:49 to play, and the Rams outlasted the Chiefs for a 54-51 victory Monday night in a showdown that somehow surpassed the hype.
“It was a crazy game, crazy game,” said Goff, who passed for 413 yards and four touchdowns and even ran for another score . “It seemed like whoever had the ball at the end was going to win the game. There was times where we felt like we were going to put the knife in and finish them, and there were times where it was the other way around, where we had to claw back into it.”
Patrick Mahomes passed for a career-high 478 yards with six touchdown passes in his latest jaw-dropping effort for the Chiefs (9-2), but he also threw two interceptions in the final 1:18 as the Rams (10-1) claimed the highest-scoring Monday night game ever played.
The highest-scoring game in the league this season was an offensive fantasia of ingenious scheming from mastermind coaches Andy Reid and Sean McVay — along with 21 combined penalties to keep things interesting. The second half was an extended thriller featuring 59 combined points.
Both teams scratched out fourth-quarter leads, only to see them evaporate. Mahomes hit Tyreek Hill with a 73-yard TD pass just when the Rams appeared to be pulling away early in the fourth, and Goff replied with two late TD passes to Everett , a backup tight end with 31 career catches before this game.
“It was a whirlwind,” McVay said. “I feel like I might need a couple of beverages to relax tonight, but it was great. This is what you love so much about the game.”
And this game was ultimately decided by defense: Marcus Peters and Lamarcus Joyner came up with late interceptions as the Rams stopped Mahomes’ final efforts.
“It’s always fun to play against real good teams,” Mahomes said. “You get to go out there and have fun … (but) it’s the same as when we played New England. You can’t make mistakes against great teams. You need to limit your mistakes, but be aggressive.”
The Coliseum’s first Monday night game since 1985 was staged on short notice after the NFL moved the matchup from Mexico City to Los Angeles six days ago due to poor field conditions at Azteca Stadium. The Rams used the opportunity to give free tickets to thousands of first responders and families recovering from the dual tragedies of nearby wildfires and a mass shooting in Thousand Oaks.
Those fans got an incredible treat for their reward — and if the video-game-like spectacle they saw turns out to be a Super Bowl preview, Atlanta will get an All-Madden-level show as well.
“It was just cool,” said Todd Gurley, whose 13-game touchdown streak somehow ended in this offensive showcase. “It was a last-minute game and everybody (came) out in support. Had the families here, had the responders, so it was just a great overall crowd and it was good for the city.”
This game has loomed in capital letters on the NFL’s regular-season schedule ever since these teams confirmed their status as offensive powerhouses in September. The Rams and Chiefs are the league’s biggest favorites along with New Orleans and New England — the teams responsible for the only other losses by Los Angeles and Kansas City this season.
Mahomes had the most prolific passing game in the NFL this year, but he and Goff both made key mistakes.
Rams linebacker Samson Ebukam returned Mahomes’ fumble and a one-armed interception for the first two TDs of his NFL career, while Kansas City’s Allen Bailey returned Goff’s fumble for a go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
“It was electric,” Ebukam said. “It’s hard to describe, because I’m still like in a game mode right now. I haven’t calmed down yet, so it hasn’t really all sunk in yet.”
BIG FINISH
The final seven minutes were particularly frantic and sweet: After Chris Conley caught his second TD pass from Mahomes for a 51-47 lead with 2:47 to play, Goff replied with a 75-yard TD drive in 58 seconds, hitting Everett down the Rams’ frenzied sideline.
Peters — the former Pro Bowl cornerback traded by Kansas City to Los Angeles last winter — then intercepted Mahomes’ underthrown ball near midfield with 1:18 to play, but the Rams only managed to take 14 seconds off the clock on their next three plays.
The Coliseum roiled in anticipation of a big finish by Mahomes, but the Chiefs were pushed back to their 13 with 50 seconds left thanks to a booming punt by Johnny Hekker. Joyner intercepted Mahomes’ final desperate heave with 13 seconds left.
“We can learn from this,” Reid said. “We can’t give up 21 points on turnovers. Have to take care of the football. We created some turnovers and points, (but had) too many penalties. We’ll heal up and get set to go for the stretch run.”
TIMELY DEFENSE
For all the offensive brilliance on display, both defenses made game-changing plays as well.
Aaron Donald forced two fumbles while sacking Mahomes, and Ebukam returned the first for a TD in the second quarter. The Rams’ unsung outside linebacker then made a spectacular one-armed interception at the line of scrimmage in the third quarter before returning it 25 yards for a score, powering over Mahomes to reach the end zone.
INJURIES
Chiefs: WR Sammy Watkins had one catch for 4 yards against his former team after missing last week’s game with a foot injury.
Rams: CB Troy Hill, WR Brandin Cooks and Peters all went to the locker room early in the second half with cramps. They all returned.
UP NEXT
Chiefs: Bye week, followed by a trip to Oakland on Dec. 2.
Rams: Bye week, followed by a trip to Detroit on Dec. 2.
Micquille Robinson, senior construction management major from Wichita
By DIANE GASPER-O’BRIEN FHSU University Relations and Marketing
A construction company out of Kansas City, Mo., was so impressed with its first student intern from Fort Hays State University last summer that it made him their poster child – literally.
McCownGordon Construction was one of 30 companies represented at a career day for FHSU’s Department of Applied Technology last month.
The company’s booth was one of the first that students could visit as they walked through the front door of the Center for Applied Technology building. Pictured on one of its banners – with a white hard hat atop his head and a big smile spreading across his face – was Micquille Robinson, a senior construction management major from Wichita.
It was McGownGordon’s first visit to FHSU’s career fair, and their representatives promised they would be back – especially after their experience with Robinson.
“We had never recruited from Fort Hays State, didn’t realize it had a construction management program,” said Emily Brown, director of talent development for McCownGordon. “But we stumbled upon Micquille, and he was a phenomenal intern. So we wanted to definitely come to this fair. He looks pretty good on that poster, don’t you think?”
Robinson sounded impressive to his new employer back in September 2017. Robinson was returning to Hays from a student-athlete leadership conference in Virginia and struck up a conversation with an employee of a concrete construction company in the Kansas City area.
“We just got to chatting, and he asked what I was studying in college,” Robinson said. “I told him, and he told me he had gone to Fort Hays State, and they didn’t have construction management back then. He said he would make some contacts for me.”
That gentleman reached out to McGownGordon. Within a couple of weeks, McGownGordon contacted Robinson to apply for an internship, which he successfully completed last summer.
Landing internships isn’t quite that smooth for all applied technology majors. But the department strives to guide students through the process and give them a variety of opportunities, including hosting events such as the career fair.
“The career fair gives our students an opportunity to visit with different companies and see what the strength of that company is and what type of work they do,” said Kim Stewart, chair of the Department of Applied Technology. “It allows the companies to visit with our students and get a feel for the type of student we have at our school.”
McGownGordon learned quickly what FHSU students have to offer.
“That Midwest work ethic stood out right away,” Brown said. “We learned that their values align with our values – relationships, integrity, performance. We have already hired two more FHSU graduates besides Micquelle.”
Local companies also make use of having interns and potential future employees readily at hand at FHSU.
One of those companies is Paul-Wertenberger Construction, which started with two employees (both FHSU graduates) back in 1983 and has grown to about 50.
Paul-Wertenberger employs several Fort Hays State alumni full-time, as well as numerous students who work part time while going to college. The company sponsors two seminar rooms in the new Center for Applied Technology that was completed in August 2017, and a scholarship in PWC’s name is given to a construction management major each year.
“Fort Hays State has been developing its construction management program and is making headway all the time,” said Bob Wertenberger, co-owner of Paul-Wertenberger along with Steve Paul. “So we have been able to have numerous interns.”
Wertenberger said that the construction industry “always need good help,” making it a highly marketable career.
“Companies are looking for good people,” he said, “and they know that western Kansas – and Fort Hays State – is a great area to pick up dedicated workers.”
Paul-Wertenberger, which also hires FHSU graduates, has either built or remodeled several of the buildings on campus, including the current construction of the new art and design building scheduled to open in August 2019.
Wertenberger, whose company works in about a 90-mile radius, “loves doing projects on campus.”
“It’s nice to see the program growing so much,” he said. “They have been developing their construction management program and making good headway all the time.”
Stewart said his department is thankful for “all the companies in the Hays area that use our students as part of their labor force.”
Three other local companies that have employed students as interns since the fall 2017 semester are Commercial Builders, Hess Services and Sizewise.
The Applied Technology Department works hard at getting the word out about its department. In addition to its career day in the fall, Applied Technology also hosts a conference for high school and middle school teachers as well as a visitation day for high school juniors and seniors. About 130 11th- and 12th-graders took part in the 2018 Junior/Senior Day Wednesday.
Two more ways for prospective students from Kansas and sometimes even neighboring states to get a look at the FHSU campus are the High Plains ElectroRally in the fall and the Western Kansas Technology Education Fair during the spring semester. High school students from compete in the electrorally, an electric car race, as one of the races on their annual circuit. The technology education fair showcases projects from junior and high school students in technology education classes.
The career day held in October was just the third of its kind, and Stewart said it has more than doubled in numbers since year one.
“This is not only an opportunity to interview them for summer jobs, for internships and for fall and spring co-ops,” Stewart said,” but ultimately they can be hired for full-time employment.”
Robinson stressed the importance of internships at the teacher conference the week before the career fair.
“That is basically a three-month job interview, because they recruit from their interns,” he said. “The internships help us out so much because now I know how McGownGordon does things. I have a head start over other new hires who didn’t intern with them.”
Stewart said his department had 28 students involved with internships last summer. Since the fall of 2017, FHSU students have earned internships at companies in six different states.
Seventy students participated in the career day activities, and more than half of those interviewed with companies for 2019 internships. The applied technology program has grown from 117 majors in 2012, when Stewart took over as director, to 190 this fall.
More information about that program can be found at www.fhsu.edu/appliedtechnology. Its areas of study are construction technology, construction management, engineering design technology, manufacturing technology, and technology and engineering education.
“Our degree is unique; it’s about having enough skill set to know what the common laborer does in a job and enough communication and management to run those jobs,” Stewart said. “The students have to be able to step in and do those jobs as part of being a leader in our industry.”
Robinson said he and fellow students learn that leadership, as well as time management, from professors who stress being active in organizations and activities.
Robinson could be a poster child for the department as well as for McGownGordon.
An honors student with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average, Robinson also puts in a lot of hours with the Tiger wrestling team. Once again, he learned last week that hard work pays off. After going 9-0 and claiming championships in two tournaments to start the season, the 184-pound Robinson was named the MIAA wrestler of week.
Following the wrestling season, Robinson will take off for Kansas City to start on his new journey. But he hopes that isn’t until March.
The NCAA Division II Regionals are scheduled for late February, with nationals set for early March.
“I’m excited about the job and wrestling,” he said. “My last year of wrestling, I definitely want to do well. I might as well go out with a bang.”
ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands (AP) — Dean Wade wanted nothing more than to win a regular-season tournament title for Kansas State coach Bruce Weber.
Wade helped the 12th-ranked Wildcats deliver, scoring 21 points as Kansas State defeated Missouri 82-67 Monday night in the championship game of the Paradise Jam tournament.
The Wildcats (5-0) won their first regular-season tournament championship in four tries under Weber, and Kansas State’s first since 2011.
“A lot of it has to do with the past three years,” Wade said. “We’ve had the games, and we’ve let them slip away. This year, we came out and kept the foot on the pedal. That was a big step for us maturing as a team.”
Barry Brown. Jr. added 19 points and six assists, Xavier Sneed had 13 points and Kamau Stokes scored 10 for Kansas State, which used a big run at the end the first half to help put the Tigers away.
“It’s all part of growing as a team and getting better,” Weber said. “We had a great run last year, and we’ve had some good moments with all the seniors each year. But now, can we be special and take that next step? This was our first big challenge.”
Jordan Geist had 24 points, Xavier Pinson added 12 and Mark Smith 11 for Missouri (3-2), which trailed by as many as eight points in the first 5½ minutes.
However, the Tigers rallied to tie the game four times, the last at 27-all on Reed Nikko’s dunk with 4:17 remaining.
Wade — named the tournament’s most valuable player — hit back-to-back 3-pointers to spark a 13-0 run to close the first half by the Wildcats, who took a 40-27 lead at the break on Cartier Diarra’s layup with two seconds remaining.
Kansas State would extend its lead to as many as 22 points in the second half, going up 58-36 on Levi Stockard’s layup with 12:50 left.
The Tigers would pull no closer than 13 points the rest of the way.
The Wildcats shot 54.5 percent (30 of 55) from the field Monday, and made a season-best 50 percent of their 3-point attempts (12 of 24).
“I thought K-State shot the ball well from 3, that’s the biggest thing,” Missouri head coach Cuonzo Martin said. “Wade made some great plays, getting to the rim. He made 3-point shots — he was 0-for-4 going into the game, but he made those shots, and it just opened it up for him. His confidence grew, and that made the difference.”
OREGON STATE 74, PENN 58
Tres Tinkle had a career-high 32 points and 12 rebounds, and the Beavers shook off a slow start to beat the Quakers in the third-place game.
Stephen Thompson Jr. added 11 points, six assists and four steals and Kylor Kelley scored 10 for Oregon State (4-1), which overcame an early 10-1 deficit in the first five minutes.
Devon Goodman had 13 points and Antonio Woods added 11 for Penn (4-2), which has now lost two straight after opening the season with four consecutive wins.
The Beavers led by as many as 20 points in the second half, going up 73-53 on Kelley’s tipin with 2:10 remaining.
NORTHERN IOWA 54, OLD DOMINION 53
A.J. Green scored 15 points, including a key basket down the stretch, as the Panthers held off the Monarchs in the fourth-place game.
With Northern Iowa (3-2) ahead 29-21 with 19:33 left, Old Dominion (2-3) rallied to tie the game four times, the last at 50-all with 2:15 left. But Green hit a jumper 22 seconds later to put the Panthers back in the lead for good.
Isaiah Brown made a pair of free throws with 17 seconds remaining to give Northern Iowa some breathing room.
Ahmad Caver, who finished with a game-high 24 points for Old Dominion, hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer for the final margin.
EASTERN KENTUCKY 100, KENNESAW STATE 81
Nick Mayo scored 28 points, and the Colonels pulled away in the second half to beat the Owls in the tournament’s seventh-place game.
Jomaru Brown added 21 points and Peyton Broughton had 13 for Kennesaw State (3-3), which led by as many as 21 points.
Tyler Hooker scored 29 points, Kyle Clarke added 20 and Ugo Obineke had 16 for the Owls (1-5), who lost their fifth straight.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State senior forward Brady Werth earned MIAA Men’s Basketball Co-Athlete of the Week honors on Monday (Nov. 19) for his efforts in Fort Hays State’s two non-conference wins this past weekend in Hays.
Werth helped Fort Hays State to a pair of non-conference victories last week, nearly averaging a double-double at 18.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. He scored a season-high 27 points in a 75-71 overtime win against Colorado School of Mines, while pulling down 11 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. In a 67-51 win over UC-Colorado Springs, he had 10 points and 8 rebounds.
Werth joins Grant Lozoya of Pittsburg State for the weekly honor from the conference office. Lozoya had 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists in Pittsburg State’s 79-71 win over Arkansas-Fort Smith.
Last week, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, came together with more than 100 federal, state, and local law enforcement officers, for a joint effort led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, Office of Investigations.
The effort was a part of the HHS OIG OI’s Operation HOPE. It aimed to locate and recover children missing from the Kansas Foster Care Program. The operation was successful in the recovery of 18 program runaways.
Throughout the week of Nov. 12, law enforcement operated from command posts in Sedgwick and Johnson counties for the purpose of ensuring the safety and well-being of foster children, and identifying and eliminating, waste, fraud and abuse occurring within the state administered foster care program. The geographical areas of focus for the operation were Sedgwick County, Johnson County, and Wyandotte County, though the effort ultimately spanned many Kansas counties and saw leads generated and forwarded to other states.
Steve Hanson, Special Agent in Charge, HHS/OIG/OI, Kansas City Region, stated, “One of our office’s highest priorities is to ensure the safety and security of our most vulnerable youth population. As the lead agency with oversight responsibilities of the $5.7 billion dollar foster care program, we have a responsibility to ensure these children are receiving quality care and services.”

The recount in the race for the 111th Kansas House of Representative District is underway Tuesday morning at the County Administrative Office in Hays.
Following last Thursday’s election canvass, election officials certified the election with Republican challenger Barb Wasinger defeating Democratic incumbent Eber Phelps by just 32 votes.
The Phelps campaign immediately called for a full hand recount.
The canvass of the recount is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at the administrative center.
TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and Prefix Health Technologies are launching a pilot program to speed up the process of determining Medicaid eligibility for Kansas older adults who seek coverage for long-term care (LTC).
“KanCare is working to improve the customer experience for applicants, and the Prefix Health solution has the potential to be a key part of that effort,” said KDHE Secretary Jeff Andersen. “We are excited to partner with Prefix Health to bring a data-driven, transparent approach to improving the determination process.”
Delays in Medicaid eligibility determinations often leave LTC providers to bear the expense of a resident’s care for months before the facility can be paid.
“Kansas LTC providers care for some of the most vulnerable members of our society. We welcome this step toward reducing these unnecessary delays in reimbursing them for doing so,” said Cindy Luxem, CEO/President, Kansas Health Care Association. “Streamlining this process and identifying areas where more information is needed gives LTC facilities more control in the process, enabling them to sustain this vital work.”
The Prefix Health solution leverages powerful data retrieval and machine learning technologies to quickly access and analyze data from secure, trusted third-party sources, such as banks and other financial institutions. This expedited digital approach reduces the information-gathering burden on residents and their families while providing additional usability and security.
“We are eager to partner with the KDHE Division of Health Care Financing on this pilot,” said Steve Grant, CEO, Prefix Health. “Improving this process will benefit residents, LTC facilities, and KanCare, putting Kansas on the road to assuring a stable, financially secure LTC sector that can meet the challenges of an aging population.”
WICHITA, KAN. – A Kansas man was sentenced Monday to 33 months in federal prison for concealing the theft of guns from a Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office vehicle, according to U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister.
Justin Winger is being held in Bulter County
Justin Winger, 37, Wichita, pleaded guilty to one count of misprision (failure to report a crime). In his plea, Winger admitted he was present when co-defendant Travis Keller broke into an undercover car and stole a 9 mm handgun, a 12-gauge shotgun and a 5.56 caliber rifle. Winger knew the co-defendant was a convicted felon who was prohibited by federal law from possessing firearms.
Co-defendant Travis Keller was sentenced to 57 months.
In watching the last two football games of the FHSU Tigers, I couldn’t help but comment publicly:
