The Knights would take the lead in the top of the 4th with a pair of runs but TMP would answer with three runs in the bottom of the inning on a three-run homer from Adam Gottschalk. Sacred Heart tied it in the top of the 5th but their joy was short lived as the Monarchs put up a five spot in the bottom of the inning to put the game away.

TMP would score two more in the 6th inning and picked up the 11-5 win. Chase Werth gets the win for the Monarchs who improved to 6-7 on the season. Goodland will come to town for a doubleheader on Thursday.

Posted on April 27, 2017

TOPEKA, Kan. – The Executive Board of the Kansas State High School Activities Association announced today, that Bill Faflick, of Wichita, Kansas, has been selected as Executive Director-Elect of the KSHSAA effective July 1, 2017. On July 1, 2018, Faflick will become the seventh Executive Director of the KSHSAA succeeding current Executive Director, Gary Musselman of Silver Lake.

Faflick, age 55, was selected in a national search to lead the organization and its 762 member schools effective July 1, 2018. Gary Musselman, the current Executive Director, previously announced his retirement effective on that date.

Faflick joins the KSHSAA after serving the last six years as Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools in USD #259 Wichita, Kansas.

I am humbled and honored with this opportunity to serve as the next Executive Director and excited to lead the KSHSAA team as we continue this important work across our great state of Kansas,” Faflick commented. “Following in the footsteps of Mr. Musselman will certainly be a challenge as his legacy of service and pursuit of excellence for Kansas students and member schools has set a high standard of excellence and integrity. Yet I believe my professional experiences have prepared me to provide the leadership needed for our Association to maintain and advance the mission of the KSHSAA moving forward.

It is my goal to provide the vision and energy necessary for the KSHSAA staff to engage, collaborate, and lead the charge for healthy interscholastic activities programs in Kansas schools. With a foundation of leadership and personal investment, I stand committed to lead with integrity and the passion necessary for the ultimate goal of student success.
