Game Highlights


The Hornets took advantage of Jacob Mezera interception on the Tigers first possession and scored a touchdown to grab the early lead. Brandon Brown connected on a 37-yard field goal on the next possession to pull FHSU to within 7-3 which would be the score at halftime.

Braxton Marstall hit Mitchell Foote on a 65-yard touchdown pass with 6:32 to play in the third quarter to push the Hornet lead to 14-3.

The Tigers took advantage of a taunting penalty to score on a 10-yard Shaquille Cooper run to pull within 14-9 early in the fourth quarter. Cooper led the Tigers with 79 yards on the ground on 17 carries.

Emporia State answered with a 38-yard TD pass to Morris Williams to push their lead to 24-9 with 5:13 to play.

Jacob Mezera, who completed 27 of 43 passes for 218 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions and was sacked five times, hit Layne Bieberle on a 36-yard strike with 0:17 to play but the Hornets recovered the on-side kick and ran out the clock.

The Tigers had only 317 yards of offense and converted on just three of their 17 third down plays.

Jose Delgado recorded a game-high 16 tackles including two for a loss. Sie Doe, Jr. recorded the Tigers only sack, his 13th of the season which sets a new FHSU single-season record.

No. 20 FHSU men’s soccer defeats Southwest Baptist on Senior Night

Posted on

HAYS, Kan. – The 20th-ranked Fort Hays State men’s soccer team improved to 11-3-1 overall and 4-1 in the MIAA on Friday with a 4-1 win over Southwest Baptist. The Bearcats dropped to 0-14-2 overall and 0-6 in the conference.

The game served as Senior Night for the six FHSU seniors, who were celebrated at halftime with a brief ceremony. The six seniors honored on the night were Jose Aguilar, Michael Cole, Damion Cooper, Maurizio Costa, Tyler VanCamp and Drew Wilson.

Luis Mendez gave the Tigers the lead late in the first half when he recorded his seventh goal of the season at the 33:52 mark. Mendez settled a ball from Arsenio Chamorro, put a move on a defender and rifled the shot from 15 yards out to beat the diving keeper.

Just 22 seconds into the second half, Derick Gonzalez extended the Tiger lead to 2-0 when he scored his team-leading ninth goal of the season. After a loose ball landed at his feet, Gonzalez blasted a shot from 12 yards out that found the back of the net.

Gabriel Gaviolli cut the Tiger lead in half at the 63:57 mark. Tiger keeper Jose Aguiler deflected a ball that bounced high into the air and Gaviolli launched himself towards the ball and headed it over the goal line.

Just over two minutes later at 65:59, Dylan Kintner again made it a two goal game in favor of the Tigers with his third goal of the season. Tobias Patino set up Kintner perfectly with a through ball about eight yards out, at which point Kintner sent it easily into the net.

Michael Cole wrapped up the scoring for FHSU when he recorded his fifth goal of the season. After gaining possession of a ball just inside SBU territory, he turned on the afterburners and it was off to the races. Cole sprinted beyond the last line of the Bearcat defense for a breakaway and sent the ball in to the bottom right hand corner of the net.

Aguilar picked up his first win in goal, making the first start of his career at FHSU. He made two saves on the night, one was a huge save on a breakaway to help keep the Bearcats at bay.

The Tigers hit the home pitch one last time in the regular season on Sunday (Oct. 30) when they battle Northeastern State at 1:30 pm.

Hays falls at Wamego; misses playoffs

Posted on

For a second week in a row Hays High needed a victory to keep their chances at a playoff berth alive. They also needed help from McPherson to beat Abilene to keep the decision from going to a tie-breaking point formula. McPherson took care of their end of the deal, Hays High did not.

It was the first ever game between Hays and Wamego in football. Wamego is the 67th different team has played since 1923.

Wamego came out of the gate and took a two possession lead on a nine play and two play drive to take a 13-0 lead. Hays punted on their first three drives then cut the Wamego lead down to six on a one yard touchdown run by Kohlton Meyers. Wamego took possession of the ball with 4:26 in the half and drove 66 yards on 12 plays to go up 19-7 after a blocked extra point.

Highlights

Hays closed the gap down to one score for a second time after Keaton Markley returned an interception down to the nine yard line. Meyers scored his second touchdown of the night one play later making the score 19-13 following a missed XP.

Wamego marched right back down the field and took back their two score advantage on a 4th and 1, six yard run on the first play of the fourth quarter taking a 27-13 lead.

Hays moved inside the red zone of Wamego on the next possession but threw an interception at the five yard line. Wamego went on for the 30-13 win, tacking on a 28 yard field goal following after Hays lost the ball on downs deep in Wamego territory.

Great season ends for TMP-Marian volleyball at state tournament

Posted on

EMPORIA, Kan. – The top-seeded Thomas More Prep-Marian Monarchs volleyball team saw their season come to an end at the 3A state tournament at White Auditorium Friday. The Monarchs (39-4) went 1-2 in pool play and failed to advance to Saturday’s semifinals. After a sweep of Humboldt (25-19, 25-17) in their first match, TMP-M lost to Hesston (24-26, 20-25) then Silver Lake (19-25, 15-25).

All four of the Monarchs losses were at the hands of state tournament teams. Abilene who was the top seed in 4A Division I and Central Plains who was the No. 2 seed in Class 2A in addition to the two teams at the Class 3A tournament.

La Crosse also went 1-2 in pool play and didn’t advance past pool play at the 1A Division I tournament at Gross Coliseum in Hays. The Leopards (33-7) dropped their first match to Hanover (19-25, 21-25), beat Pretty Prairie (25-20, 31-29) then lost to top-seeded Centralia (25-13, 25-20) after the Panthers had lost their first match of the season earlier in the night to Hanover.

Dighton was also 1-2 with losses to Goessel (25-12, 12-25, 15-25) and South Barber (21-25, 20-25) and a win over Lebo (25-17, 25-14).

Wheatland-Grinnell and Otis-Bison both advanced in Class 1A Division II. The top-seeded Thunderhawks (37-6) went 3-0 in pool play defeating Ingalls (25-21, 25-19), Otis-Bison (26-24, 25-21) and Fowler (25-8, 25-12). The Cougars (27-13) finished pool play 2-1. They defeated Fowler (25-19, 25-23), lost to Wheatland-Grinnell then defeated Ingalls (25-12, 25-14).

Wheatland-Grinnell will play No. 2 seed Waverly (28-9) and the fifth-seeded Cougars play No. 7 seed Axtell (25-15) in Saturday’s semifinals at 10 am. The third-place and championship matches follow at 11:30 am.

FHSU women’s soccer shutout UNK; will play for share of MIAA Title on Sunday

Posted on

KEARNEY, Neb. – The 21st-ranked Fort Hays State women’s soccer team will look for its first MIAA Regular Season Championship in two days thanks to a 3-0 win at Nebraska-Kearney on Friday. With the win the Tigers improved to 13-3-1 overall and 9-1 in the MIAA. The Lopers dropped to 6-8-3 overall and 3-5-2 in the MIAA and the result eliminates them from a chance for a spot in the MIAA Tournament.

The win for the Tigers also ties the program record for consecutive wins in a season with seven, and it puts them one win shy of their overall program record of 14 wins in a season.

After an uneventful first half that saw just a single shot on goal from either team, the Tiger offense stepped up and delivered. Jasmine Beaulieu gave the Tigers the 1-0 lead in the 65th minute when she recorded her second goal of the season. Kelsey Steffens and Beaulieu connected to execute a successful give-and-go that resulted with Beaulieu alone in front of the net 10 yards out.

Thayla Dwyer made it a 2-0 game with her sixth goal of the season in the 74th minute. A pass from Silvana Romero set up Dwyer with a breakaway and Dwyer chipped the ball over an aggressive goalkeeper 15 yards out.

Steffens added late insurance with just under a minute and a half remaining in the match. About 10 yards out she took a shot that the UNK keeper was able to deflect but quick on her toes, Steffens was able to win the race to the rebound and send the ball across the goal line for her sixth goal of the season.

The Tigers recorded their fifth shutout in the last six games. Abbie Flax earned her ninth shutout of the season between the pipes, stopping three shots on net.

The final match of the regular season will be Sunday when the Tigers look to claim at least a share of the MIAA regular season title on Senior Day. Washburn will be the final MIAA team standing in their way. Kickoff is set for 11 am at FHSU Soccer Stadium in Hays.

By Jeremy McGuire
Hays Post

HAYS-Norton scored 21 first quarter points and 14 second quarter points en-route to a 49-20 win over TMP on Thursday night at Lewis Field Stadium.  Bluejay Quarterback Jace Ruder was dominant in the first half with his legs running for 100 yards and three touchdowns and throwing for another score.  Koby McEwen caught the Ruder pass for the score and Carson Wallace added the other score on a seven yard run.

Norton came out blazing in the second half scoring two touchdowns within 17 seconds of each other.  The first was a Ruder 27 yard run and then Ruder connected with Tyus Henson on a 28 yard touchdown pass.  TMP was able to get their offense moving late in the third quarter as Luke Ruder found Creighton Renz from 26 yards out.  Joe Flax would score on a three yard run early in the first quarter for his only touchdown of the season.  TMP rounded out the scoring when Carson Jacobs threw a 46 yard strike to Renz late in the fourth quarter.

Three Royals named finalists for Rawlings Gold Glove Awards

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Rawlings Sporting Goods Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Newell Brands, announced today that three Kansas City Royals – left fielder Alex Gordon, first baseman Eric Hosmer and catcher Salvador Perez – have been named finalists for 2016 American League Gold Glove Awards ®.  The Royals’ three finalists have combined to win 10 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards in their careers, with Gordon winning four-straight, from 2011-14 while Hosmer and Perez have won each of the last three seasons (2013-15).

Rawlings also announced that winners will be revealed on Tuesday, November 8 at 7 p.m. CT, during a special edition of “Baseball Tonight – The 2016 Rawlings Gold Glove Award Announcement Show”, which will air on ESPN.  The Rawlings Gold Glove Awards honor the best individual fielding performances at each position in the American League and National League, as voted by Major League managers and coaches.

Kansas City’s three finalists are tied for second-most in the Major Leagues, behind only Detroit’s four.  Along with the Royals, five other clubs have three finalists this season ­– Arizona, Boston, Chicago Cubs, Houston and San Francisco.

Gordon is attempting to win his fifth Gold Glove Award (2011-14) and become the second Royal to be honored five times or more, joining second baseman Frank White (eight times, 1977-82, 86-87).  The last outfielder to win at least five awards in a six-year span in either league was Torii Hunter, who won nine-straight from 2001-09.  The other left field finalists for this season are Houston’s Colby Rasmus and Brett Gardner of the New York Yankees.

Hosmer is seeking his fourth-straight Gold Glove Award, looking to become the first AL first baseman to accomplish that since Don Mattingly (1991-94).  He is the only Royal to win a Gold Glove at first base.  Other nominations at first base include: Baltimore’s Chris Davis and Texas’ Mitch Moreland.

Perez is also up for his fourth-straight Gold Glove Award, while he is the second KC backstop to earn the honor, along with Bob Boone (1989).  Should he win, Perez would become the first AL catcher to win as many as four-straight Gold Gloves since Ivan ‘Pudge’ Rodriguez was honored 10-straight years (1992-2001).  Other 2016 finalists include: Carlos Perez of the Los Angeles Angels and Detroit’s James McCann.

Following the ESPN announcement telecast, voting for the Rawlings Platinum Glove Award presented by SABR, will begin at www.rawlings.com, allowing the general public to weigh in as to who is the “Finest in the Field” in both leagues.  Fans can vote for one player among the 2016 Rawlings Gold Glove Award winners from each league.  A combination of the international vote and the SABR Defensive Index will determine who takes home the honor of each league’s top defensive player.  The Rawlings Platinum Glove Award winners will be unveiled during the 2016 Rawlings Gold Glove Awards Ceremony presented by Gold Sport Collectibles on Friday, November 11.  Gordon was the 2014 American League Platinum Glove Award winner.

Broncos’ C.J. Anderson denies report he’s done for the year

Posted on

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) – C.J. Anderson is disputing a report that his knee injury will end his season.

The Denver Broncos running back panned a report Thursday from the NFL Network that he had “told people close to him that he’s done for the year.” Anderson angrily denied the report on Twitter but later deleted his comments, saying he would “stay off social.”

Anderson and the Broncos (5-2) are expecting to find out later Thursday the extent of his injury and how many games he’ll miss.

Anderson rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown in Denver’s 27-9 win over Houston on Monday night despite injuring his right knee on his second carry.

Rookie Devontae Booker will start Sunday against the Chargers (3-4).

Posted on

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Former Fort Hays State standout defensive back Nathan Lindsey has signed to play for the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League in 2017. Lindsey played two years at FHSU from 2013 to 2014.

For the 2016 season with Cedar Rapids, he had 28 tackles, three interceptions, and two forced fumbles.

Lindsey was an All-Super Region 3 and All-MIAA selection at Fort Hays State during his senior year when he had 41 tackles and three interceptions. He added a kick return for a touchdown that year, averaging 41.5 yards per return on four attempts. As a junior he had 44 tackles and one interception.

Posted on

After wins over the former No. 3 and No. 4 ranked teams in the region last week, Fort Hays State jumped two spots to No. 3 in the second release of the NCAA Central Region Rankings released Wednesday (Oct. 26).

Fort Hays State, now 12-3-1 overall, was No. 5 in the first release of the rankings last week, but defeated then No. 3 Northeastern State and No. 4 Central Oklahoma in Hays to make the move in the latest release. The Tigers also are the only team to defeat Minot State, the current No. 2 ranked team, this year. Minot State is 12-1-1 overall.

Central Missouri remains the No. 1 ranked team in the region with an overall record of 14-1. Minnesota State made a big move in the rankings this week, jumping four spots to No. 4. Northeastern State and Central Oklahoma dropped to No. 5 and No. 6 respectively. Bemidji State remained No. 7 and Missouri Western moved into the rankings at No. 8.

Fort Hays State and Central Missouri are tied for first in MIAA play, both at 8-1. The conference regular season title will be determined this week as FHSU plays at Nebraska-Kearney and returns home to face Washburn in the regular season finale. Central Missouri plays Lindenwood and Missouri Western at home.
