New HHS football coach Crough looking to make a change for weights

Introductions are a vital part in starting a job. A good one can get you respect, it also can set you up to show you mean business and are willing to make a change.

New football coach Tony Crough did just that. In March, Crough sent out an email saying how he wanted to make a change and that change was getting student athletes in the weight room.

“We are up to 336 enrolled in a weights class and are looking for more,” Crough said. “Every athlete in the school should be in weights class all year if they are serious about their sport.”

Any other student interested in improving their overall wellness is invited as well.

“All athletes weight train,” Crough said. “If you don’t, you are not an athlete.”

Crough said you are falling behind and will struggle against competition that is lifting. He wants this school to be competitive in all sports and he believes it starts in the weight room.

“SPS (Strength, Power, Speed) will be geared more towards athletes,” Crough said. “But all classes will be working on athletic movements.”

Crough said weight lifting in its purest form is a sport, so all the classes will be athletic based.

The difference between the students in sports versus if they are not, is just recovery and rest, but other than that they will be doing the same basic lifts.

“In season, athletes will focus more on making sure they are fresh and ready for their competitions,” Crough said. “They will be working on explosive movements to help compete as well.”

To get to that point, they will be working on nine essential lifts–plyos, agilities, flexibility and mobility movements. They will also focus on injury prevention.

The explosive movements will mimic athletic movements performed in sports. Crough wants the athletes to be flexible, fast and powerful.

Crough thinks weight lifting is as important as practicing your sport.

“If your body doesn’t have a good base to begin with than it won’t perform that specific sport skills you are learning at a high level,” Crough said. “So, essentially when all things are equal, the stronger, more powerful, faster athlete will win. Athletes win in the weight room.”

He believes Hays High can build a great culture of successful athletics in the weight room that will carry over to all sports and infect the hallways with confidence and school spirit. Teams and programs that workout together win together.

“If an athlete doesn’t work out with their team, it shows a lack of commitment to their program and is a statement that I’m not willing to work hard to make sure I’m at my best for my team,” Crough said. “All athletes lift. Let’s change the culture together.”

Kansas moves to loosen rules for limited-use amusement rides

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is moving to loosen its rules for amusement rides for events such as county fairs a year after lawmakers strengthened regulations in the wake of a boy’s death on a waterslide.

The Senate voted 37-1 on Thursday approve a bill addressing complaints from rural lawmakers and local officials that last year’s law was too broad.

The House approved the measure 114-6 earlier this month, and it goes next to Gov. Jeff Colyer for his possible signature.

Legislators acted last year in response to the death of 10-year-old Caleb Schwab on a giant waterslide at the Schlitterbahn park in Kansas City, Kansas.

The changes will set lower requirements for rides at short-term, one-location events run by nonprofit groups and exempt attractions such as hay-rack rides and low-speed barrel trains.

Lady Indians hold TMP scoreless


By JEREMY McGUIRE
Hays Post

HAYS, Kan.-Hays High held TMP scoreless in 80 minutes worth of action on the pitch Thursday afternoon, picking up a 2-0 victory over the visitors from across town. Both teams had to deal with a strong Northerly wind which caused both teams issues when they played with it at their back (HHS first half, TMP second half). The Lady Monarchs struggled to put shots on goal in the first half while the Lady Indians were able to get a few shots without any results as the game was scoreless after the first half of play.

The game remained scoreless through the first 12 minutes of the second half and that’s when Hays High struck for two quick goals. The first was a floater off the foot of Cori Isbell that just crawled just under the cross bar to give Hays the 1-0 lead in the 53rd minute on the assist from Savannah Schneider. Four minutes later Schneider struck again, after receiving a pass from Kallie Leiker, she pulled the goalie off the line and punched a shot past her that just crawled inside the right post to give the Lady Indians the final score of the game.

TMP drops to 7-3 on the season. They will travel to the Bishop Miege Tournament this weekend. Hays High improves to 8-3-1 on the season and will travel to Garden City on Monday to face the Lady Buffaloes.
