Victoria Picks Up Playoff Win Over Cheylin

Posted on

The Victoria football team avenged a 50-point loss from last year to Cheylin on Tuesday night as they defeated the Cougars 36-18 in the opening round of the 8-Man Division II State Playoffs.

The return trip to Bird City started out slow for the Knights as they turned the ball over three times in the first half. Victoria trailed 12-8 at halftime.

Victoria would score on their opening possession of the second half on a drive that went 41 yards and took up over four minutes. The drive was capped off by an eight-yard run by senior Corey Dinkel. Dinkel had a career night as he rushed for 248 yards and completed 10 passes for 87 yards and another score.

With the Knights leading by two, Cheylin would respond early in the fourth quarter with a 47-yard touchdown pass from senior Kenan Reeh to junior Ethan Young. After the failed two-point conversion, the Cougars (8-2) would hold an 18-14 lead with just over 10 minutes to play in the game.

Victoria would answer 86 seconds later when junior Dalton Dreiling recorded a two-yard touchdown to eventually regain the lead by four.

The Knights (6-4) came up with a stop on defense and then on their very next possession they converted on 4th-and-9 with a 22-yard touchdown pass from Dinkel to sophomore Tanner Hobbs. Dreiling would seal things by coming up with an interception on the following Cheylin drive.

The Knights move on to the next round where they will host Otis-Bison. Otis-Bison destroyed Moscow Tuesday night 68-20. The game can be heard on 101.9 FM, The Country Bull, Y102 on Saturday with a 6pm kickoff.

Hays High defeat Salina Central 35-21

Posted on

Salina Central did bring the game back with in on posession scoring a touchdown with just :35 seconds left in the first half, but that left enough time for David Cardinal so strike on a 72 yard touchdown run pushing the half time lead to 21-7. 

Central again would fight back and make the score 21-14 after a Hays High fumble, but the Indians answered with back to back David Cardinal touchdowns, the second after a Adam Deterding interception.  Salina Central tacked on a touchdown late to make the final score 35-21.

Hays High finishes the season 8-1 and 3-0 in districts.  Hays also will be sharing the conference title with Garden City and Great Bend as Garden City beat Dodge City 18-15 in double overtime.

Hays also advances to the playoffs for the first time since 1995.

Y102 Game of the Week: Plainville at LaCrosse

Posted on

Friday night’s Y102 Area Game of the Week features two unbeaten teams battling for a district championship. The Plainville Cardinals and the LaCrosse Leopards close out the regular season in a class 2A district 6 showdown in LaCrosse.

The Leopards and the Cardinals come into this week a perfect 8-0 and 3-0 in district play. The Leopards offense continues to shine averaging 445 yards per game, outscoring their first eight opponents 426-114.

Quarterback Tayler Stull is the leading rusher again this season with 836 yards and 755 yards through the air, totaling 28 touchdowns this season. Junior running back Levi Morss has 15 touchdowns and 826 yards rushing and Kip Keeley has 738 total yards and 8 touchdowns through eight games.

The Plainville Cardinals offense has been putting up great numbers this year as well. Averaging 44 points and 417 yards per game.

Harrison Gilliland has 746 yards and 12 touchdowns and Dalton Werner had 662 yards. The Cardinals have outscored opponents 354-88.

The Cardinal defense has been just as good, giving up 11 points and 219 yards per game through 8 games. Linebackers Andrew Casey and Nate Thyfault (TEE-FO) both have over 60 total tackles this season and Jameson Klein leads the team in sacks with 6.

TMP-Marian Finishes Season with Loss to Goodland

Posted on
TMP's season comes to an end as big plays hurt them against Goodland.

The Thomas More Prep–Marian football team needed a win Thursday night in Goodland to make it to the playoffs for the first time since 2002, but it just wasn’t in the cards for the Monarchs losing 35-19.

Both Goodland and TMP were 1-1 in district play going into the game setting up a do or die game to be the runner up out of District 15 in Class 3A. The Cowboys (5-4) will travel to undefeated Scott City Tuesday night for the opening round of the playoffs.

The Monarchs fumbled the football twice on their first three possessions, and the Cowboys scored on their first three possessions. Just like that, the Herd was down 21-0 at the end of the first quarter.

TMP (5-4) figured things out in the second quarter, scoring two times with touchdown passes from senior Nick Hammeke. The first score went to senior Jacob Fouts, and the second thrown to junior Shane Zimmerman.

Fouts finished the game with five receptions breaking the school record for most receptions in a season. Fouts finished the season with 44 catches, edging out Nathan Zimmerman’s record of 43 set last year.

TMP only trailed by eight, 21-13, to begin the second half, but Goodland sophomore Dax Ruhs broke a 94-yard touchdown run on the Cowboys’ first play on offense to begin the third quarter. Ruhs punished the Monarchs all night with 16 carries, 249 yards, and three touchdowns.

Both teams would score one more time before the finish of the ballgame.

Unofficial numbers from Thursday’s contest:

Hammeke: 22 completions, 229 yards, 3 touchdowns. 20 carries, 87 yards.
Dylan Gottschalk: 14 carries, 47 yards.
Taylor Pfeifer: 6 receptions, 74 yards, 1 touchdown.
Shane Zimmerman: 5 receptions, 53 yards, 1 touchdown.

With his effort against Goodland, Hammeke finished the season with over 2,000 yards passing (2,068). Hammeke now owns just about every passing record in the book for TMP-Marian.

TMP will lose 13 seniors after this year and will have a realigned district next season. The Monarchs will play Russell, Scott City, and Hoisington in district play in 2012.

TMP Football at Goodland Tonight (LISTEN LIVE OR WATCH)

Posted on

 

Essentially, a play-in game will be taking place Thursday night in Goodland as Thomas More Prep – Marian will take on the Cowboys for a chance to make the playoffs.

The Monarchs (5-3) put themselves in a position to make the postseason for the first time since 2002 when they defeated Norton 20-19 last Friday. The victory marked an end to seven straight district game defeats. TMP now sits at 1-1 in Class 3A, District 15. Goodland is also 1-1, setting up the scenario of whoever wins Thursday’s game will make it to the playoffs as the District 15 runner-up. Phillipsburg is 2-0 and has already defeated both schools.

The Herd may have put together their best defensive effort last week against Norton. TMP forced 5 turnovers against the Blue Jays without their leading tackler, senior Austin Werth who tore his ACL and MCL two weeks ago.

Goodland made the playoffs last year as the district runner-up, and hold a 4-4 record so far this fall. The Cowboys saw a three-game winning streak come to an end last week as they lost to Phillipsburg 35-21. Senior quarterback Reed Bellamy’s numbers are down a bit from last year, but Goodland has used the rushing attack more this year. Sophomore Dax Ruhs has rushed for 523 yards this year and is coming off a 116-yard effort last week.

Stat Watch:

While senior Nick Hammeke owns just about every passing record at Thomas More Prep – Marian, fellow senior Jacob Fouts is closing in on a few receiving records.

– Fouts, who has 39 receptions on the season, needs just five more catches to claim the most receptions in a season.
– Fouts only needs 38 more receiving yards to own the career receiving yards record at TMP set by Tracey Hoffman in the late 1980’s with 951 yards.

– Fouts already has the school record for career receptions with 72.

Keep in mind, Shane Zimmerman is close behind Fouts in all these categories and Zimmerman is only a junior this year.

If you’re traveling out to the game in Goodland this Thursday night, it will start up at 6:00 Mountain Time. For those listening here in the Hays area, it’s the same start as usual. The Fort Hays Auto Sales Pregame Show will begin at 6:30PM with kickoff at 7:00 on KAYS (1400-AM) or listen online right here at Hayspost.com.

1997: Microsoft buys Apple, Princess Diana Dies

1998: Google is founded

2002: No Child Left Behind Act is signed into law, The U.S. invades Afghanistan

2003: The Iraq War begins, Martha Stewart indicted on insider trading

2004: I graduated from college, The last Oldsmobile rolls off the assembly line

2005: Pope John Paul II Dies, George W. Bush is inaguarated

2006: Bird Flu hits the United Kingdom, Pluto is demoted to a dwarf planet

2007: The Simpsons movie is release, The Writers Guild of America goes on strike

2008: Oil hits $100 for the first time, Fidel Castro resigns

2009: Outbreak of H1N1, Michael Jackson dies

2010: WikiLeaks releases 250,000 American diplomatic cables, H1N1 outbreak declared over.

That all came to an end last week as the Indians qualified for the playoffs with a win over the Salina South Cougars.  Hays High still has to play one more game Friday against Salina Central before the playoffs begin.

TMP Football beats Norton 20-19

Posted on
TMP assures themselves a winning season with a 20-19 win against Norton.

Thomas More Prep – Marian snapped a 15-game losing streak to Norton Friday night at Lewis Field Stadium as they held on for the 20-19 win.

The Monarchs trailed 19-14 with under four minutes to play, but after recovering a Norton kick at their own 47-yard line they had a short field to work with. TMP would score eight plays later on 4th-and-goal at the 10-yard line when senior Nick Hammeke lobbed one up for senior Taylor Pfeifer to bring down for the go-ahead score with just over a minute to play.

The contest was tied at seven apiece at halftime, and TMP took a 14-7 lead by scoring on their first possession of the second half on a one-yard rushing touchdown by senior Dylan Gottschalk.

Norton (3-5) would get the next two scores of the ball game on a pair of two-yard rushing touchdowns by senior Jordan Wahlmeier in the fourth quarter. Sophomore kicker Austin Hager missed the extra point after the first Wahlmeier score and the Blue Jays had a failed two-point conversion on their final score.

Norton would drive into TMP territory on their last possession before Pfeifer came up his second interception of the game to give the Monarchs (5-3) the win.

The Herd reaches 5 wins on the season for the first time since 2002. It’s also the first win against Norton since 1937. Friday’s win was TMP’s first district win since 2008.

Hammeke finished the night with 13 completions for 148 yards and two touchdowns. Hammeke has now thrown for over 4,000 yards in his career at Thomas More Prep – Marian. (4,083)

In the other Class 3A District 15 game, Phillipsburg defeated Goodland 35-21. The Panthers are now 2-0 in districts and have assured themselves a playoff spot.

1-1 TMP and 1-1 Goodland square off Thursday night in Goodland. The winner makes it to the playoffs and loser’s season comes to an end.
