Shamet shoots Wichita State past Northern Iowa

Posted on

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Landry Shamet hit five 3-pointers and scored 17 points and Wichita State beat Missouri Valley Conference nemesis Northern Iowa 80-66 on Sunday.

Rauno Nurger added 13 points and Conner Frankamp 11 for Wichita State (14-3, 4-0). Northern Iowa came in with a 3-2 record against the Shockers the past two seasons, while Wichita State was 36-2 against the rest of the MVC in that period. The Shockers hit 55 percent (11 of 20) of their 3-pointers.

Jeremy Morgan scored 15 points and Jordan Ashton and Klint Carlson had 12 apiece with Carlson grabbing 10 rebounds for the Panthers (5-10, 0-4), who have lost six straight, their longest losing streak since 2000-01.

Frankamp and Reaves hit 3-pointers in the final minute of the first half for a 39-32 lead. The Panthers stayed in range until a 12-2 run left the Shockers in front by 17, 72-55, with 4½ minutes left.

Mason, Graham lead No. 3 Kansas past Texas Tech

Posted on

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Frank Mason III scored 26 points, Devonte Graham added a season-high 20 and No. 3 Kansas used a big second-half run to put away Texas Tech, 85-68 on Saturday night.

Josh Jackson had 17 points and Mason provided the spark for a 12-0 run that turned a five-point game into a rout, allowing the Jayhawks to remain perfect in 17 tries against Texas Tech at home.

The Jayhawks (14-1, 3-0 Big 12) also pushed their home winning streak to a nation-leading 51 games.

Aaron Ross and Zach Smith had 17 points each as the Red Raiders (12-3, 1-2) lost their 15th straight to the Jayhawks overall. Keenan Evans scored 15.

Texas Tech gave Kansas a tussle until a frustrating final minute of the first half.

FHSU wrestling comes up short at Adams State

Posted on

ALAMOSA, Colo – The 18th-ranked Fort Hays State University Tigers moved to 0-2 this season on Saturday when they dropped a dual matchup with Adams State by a score of 28-14.

The Tigers fell behind 6-0 early after Kyler Mick was pinned by Issac Lopez just 36 seconds into the 165-pound bout. Adams State quickly increased its lead to 9-0 in the 174-pound bout after Koery Windham got the better of Micquille Robinson in a 7-1 decision. The Tigers once again came up short at 184 pounds when Richard Bencomo kept Rakim Dean at bay for the entire match, walking off the mat with a 4-0 decision.

At 197 pounds, freshman Austin Brandt cut the Grizzlies lead to 12-3 after picking up a 10-5 decision over Kahlil Gipson. The momentum stayed in FHSU’s favor with ninth-ranked Christian Lance heading into the 285-pound bout. Lance pulled off a third period take down and picked up his team-leading 26th win on the year with a 3-2 decision, trimming the deficit to 12-6.

After a pin by the Grizzlies at 125 pounds and a technical fall at 133 pounds pushed the score to 23-6, the No. 7 wrestler at 141 pounds Brandon Ball got the Tigers on the board once more.  Ball was in full control for the entirety of the match, earning a major decision over Sage Budd by a score of 10-2.

A technical fall by the Grizzlies in the 149 bout sent Greg Tooley to the mat for FHSU in the final match of the night. Despite the 28-10 deficit and a comeback out of reach, Tooley ended the match on a positive note for the Tigers with a 10-2 major decision of his own.

The Tigers will return to the mat in search of their first dual win of the season when they welcome Colorado School of Mines to Gross Memorial Coliseum on Thursday (Jan. 12). The first bout is set to start at 7 p.m.

Tigers fall on last second shot to Southwest Baptist

Hays Post

HAYS, Kan. – For the second time in three years, Southwest Baptist beats Fort Hays State on a last second shot at Gross Coliseum. Cartier Dean, who lead the Bearcats with 11 points, hit a 3-pointer from the right wing with less than one second to play in the 56-54 victory. Dean’s heroics came after Kyler Kinnamon hit a layup with 13 seconds left to put the Tigers up one. Kinnamon was fouled but missed the free throw which would have given them a two-point lead.

Mark Johnson Postgame Interview

Game Highlights

The Bearcats (9-5, 2-3 MIAA) opened the second half on a 14-0 run to go up 10, holding the Tigers (9-5, 3-3 MIAA) scoreless for the first 4:58. FHSU responded with an 11-0 run over the next 7:48 to retake the lead on a Rob Davis 3-pointer.

A Brady Werth basket with 5:08 to play pushed the Tigers lead to four at 47-43 but SBU answered with a 7-0 run to go up 50-47 with 1:30 to play. Trey O’Neil answered with a 3-pointer on the next possession to tie the game 50-50 with 1:17 to play.

Werth led the Tigers with a career-high 13 points along with eight rebounds and was the only Tiger to reach double-figures.

Rob Davis, who led the MIAA in scoring at 24.2 points per game coming into the contest, was held to eight on 3-of-12 shooting.

Kansas State uses hot first half to upend Oklahoma

Posted on

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Wes Iwundu led a balanced attack with 16 points and Kansas State used a strong first half to defeat Oklahoma 75-64 on Saturday.

Barry Brown added 14 points, Kamau Stokes 13, Dean Wade 12 and D.J. Johnson 10 for the Wildcats (13-2, 2-1 Big 12).

Kansas State started out fast, opening a 14-3 lead and building it to 43-27 at the half on 54 percent shooting (15 of 28) as Stokes scored 13 and Wade 10. The pair combined to go 5 of 6 on 3-pointers.

The Sooners, who shot 38 percent in the first half, shot 68 percent (15 of 22) in the second and had a late run to get within six midway through the half but could get no closer.

Kameron McGusty came off the bench to score 20 points for Oklahoma (6-8, 0-3), which lost its sixth straight.

Longtime broadcaster named Covenant Builders Hometown Hero

Posted on

tad-feltsTad Felts has been named the latest Covenant Builders Hometown Hero. He will be honored at Saturday’s Fort Hays State University basketball games.

The following is a tribute to Tad Felts written by Senator Jerry Moran on May 17th, 2016:

For more than 40 years, Tad Felts has been broadcasting high school athletics and reporting north-central Kansas news for KKAN-KQMA radio in Phillipsburg, but after several decades chronicling hundreds — or more likely thousands — of sporting events, Tad decided a couple years back it was time to watch a few more games from the bleachers rather than the press box. Now, this month, he will retire from radio altogether.

Tad first started his radio career in Garden City at KIUL as a high school sophomore in 1948, working after school and at night for free. During his time at KIUL, his main duties were cleaning the floors and playing records. While he was a student at Fort Hays State University in 1951, Tad worked at KAYS radio station in Hays and upon graduation at KLOE in Goodland. Tad found his eventual home with the team at KKAN-KQMA in Phillipsburg in 1972.

Given his decades of experience in broadcasting, Tad knows the business well and takes great joy in teaching others. Gerard Wellbrock, the sports director of KAYS radio in Hays and the voice of the Fort Hays State University Tigers said this about Tad: “He was a good mentor, I learned so much from him. The work ethic, how to deal with people, the relations you build with athletic directors and coaches. It’s hard not to like Tad. And you learned a lot about work, and life, just by being around him.”

In gyms across north-central Kansas, the KKAN-KQMA banner can be seen at high school basketball games, wrestling tournaments, and State championships. In fact, it is because of Tad’s dedication that the radio station is so often present. Families who can’t make the game in person, often because they are working long hours on the farm, especially appreciate local radio hosts being there because they can still catch the details of the game.

In rural America, entire communities revolve around how the high school sports team is doing. It is a common topic of conversation while standing in the checkout line at the grocery store or while dining at a neighborhood restaurant.

By no means is Tad a one-trick pony, though. Cherished equal to his sports reporting are his updates from the field during wheat harvest season, in which Tad will drive straight up to a farmer in his combine and record an interview from the cab. This is in addition to the full slate of city council and school board meetings, county fairs, and annual parades.

For years, Tad’s knowledge and sunny disposition has greeted folks tuning in to local radio. One former peer of Tad’s said this about the significant impact he has made: “KKAN-KQMA Radio has played an integral role in the lives of people in the Phillipsburg area, and Tad has always been a driving force behind that station’s programming and its scope of community service.” His professionalism was recognized by his peers when Tad was inducted into the Kansas Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2010. Inductees to the hall of fame are selected based upon their contributions to the broadcasting profession, their broadcast career, and their recognition and awards received, and Tad is an extremely deserving recipient.

Today I want to express my gratitude to Tad Felts for helping to strengthen the close bonds of rural communities through his years of faithful service. I want to congratulate him on a job well done for the past nearly six decades. Tad’s been a tremendous friend to me over the years, and his work has served as a bedrock for many of the communities I grew up in and care deeply about.

Tad, I wish you all the best and thank you for everything you have done to improve the lives of so many in our great State.

ELLIS, Kan-TMP went on a 17-0 run midway through the first quarter and into the second quarter to take control of Friday night’s Mid Continent League match-up with the Ellis Lady Railers.  Leading 10-8, TMP scored 17 in a row to take a 27-10 lead early in the second quarter.  The Lady Monarchs took a 39-12 lead into the half thanks to 12 points off the bench from Aubrey Koenigsman.

The second half was much of the same for TMP as they continued to roll. The Lady Monarchs outscored the Lady Railers 16-9 in the third quarter and led 55-21 at that point which led to a running clock in the fourth quarter.  TMP picked up their sixth win with the 65-26 victory.  Koenigsman led the way with 17 for TMP.  Kaylyn Foster led the way for Ellis with 9 points.

The Lady Monarchs improve to 6-1 and will play Sacred Heart in Salina on Saturday.  Ellis drops to 4-4 and won’t play until next Friday when they travel to Hill City

Royals acquire right-hander Karns from Mariners for Dyson

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Royals have acquired right-hander Nathan Karns from the Seattle Mariners for outfielder Jarrod Dyson, solidifying a pitching staff that lost workhorse Edinson Volquez to free agency.

The 29-year-old Karns was 6-2 with a 5.15 ERA in 15 starts and 22 appearances last season. He got off to a 5-1 start with a 3.43 ERA but struggled the rest of the season, and missed the final two months with a lower back strain.

Earlier Friday, the Mariners obtained right-hander Yovani Gallardo from Baltimore for outfielder Seth Smith.

Kansas City has been shopping the speedy Dyson much of the offseason, and he became more expendable following the trade of closer Wade Davis to the Chicago Cubs for young outfielder Jorge Soler.

Davis and Dyson are eligible for free agency after the season along with outfielder Lorenzo Cain, first baseman Eric Hosmer, third baseman Mike Moustakas, shortstop Alcides Escobar and left-hander Danny Duffy

Dyson hit .278 while serving in a platoon role last season. He also had 30 stolen bases.
