Mezera and Brown earn MIAA football Athlete of the Week Honors

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State quarterback Jacob Mezera and kicker Brandon Brown earned two of the three weekly MIAA Football Athlete of the Week honors on Monday (Oct. 10). Mezera was named the Offensive Athlete of the Week, while Brown was named Special Teams Player of the Week, following an impressive 54-41 win at Pittsburg State.

Mezera set a new Fort Hays State record for total offense in a game with 508 yards (446 passing and a team-high 62 rushing yards) in the 54-41 win at Pittsburg State. The performance ranks fourth all-time in the MIAA as he became just the fifth player ever in MIAA history to produce at least 500 yards of total offense in a game. He also tied the FHSU record for most touchdown passes in a game with five and had a hand in six touchdowns total, adding one rushing score for the day. His 446 passing yards were third most in a single game at FHSU, only behind Robert Long who had performances of 467 and 465 yards in 1985. However, with Long playing in the NAIA era, Mezera’s passing total was a new school record for the NCAA Division II era, going past Mike Garrison’s 435 at Missouri Western in 2010. He distributed the ball to nine different receivers with Charles Tigner as his top target (8 catches for 160 yards). The win marked the first time FHSU defeated PSU in consecutive games in Pittsburg for the first time since 1970 and 1972.

Brown was a perfect 4-of-4 on field goal attempts and 6-of-6 on extra point attempts in the 54-41 win over Pittsburg State. Brown converted field goals from 19, 38, 37, and 49 yards. The 49-yard field goal was a season long for Brown and tied the seventh longest field goal in FHSU history. He averaged 60.5 yards per kickoff, producing four touchbacks. Brown is now 13-of-14 on field goal attempts this year, with his only miss from over 50 yards.

Tigers move closer to Top 25; Second highest receiving votes in AFCA poll

Posted on

WACO, Texas – Fort Hays State moved closer to the Top 25 in the latest AFCA Division II Poll, released on Monday. The Tigers are now the second-highest team among the receiving votes list after their 54-41 win at Pittsburg State. The result knocked Pittsburg State out of the list of receiving votes teams.

With the win in Pittsburg, the Tigers gained much more traction in the poll, going from eight votes last week to 48 this week. Only Ferris State (Mich.) has more votes in the receiving votes section with 76. Wayne State (Mich.), currently ranked No. 25, received 85 votes this week. The Tigers are still seeking to crack the top 25 for the first time in program history.

Northwest Missouri State and Emporia State continue to represent the MIAA in the top 25. Defending national champion Northwest Missouri State continues to hold the nation’s top ranking, now with 21 consecutive victories going back to the start of the 2015 season. Emporia State moved up six more spots this week to No. 12. Fort Hays State (48 votes) and Central Missouri (1 vote) are the only two MIAA teams among the receiving votes list.

If the Tigers want to continue their charge towards the top 25, they will have to end a streak of eight consecutive losses in Topeka this week. The Tigers have defeated Washburn six times since 1988, but all six wins have been in Hays. The last time FHSU claimed a victory over Washburn in Topeka was 1987.

Below is the AFCA Division II Top 25 Poll for October 10, 2016.

Kansas City pitching bid for Big 12 title game

Posted on

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – As the Big 12 weighs expanding by as many as four schools, conference officials are also considering where to go as the Big 12 brings back its title game in football, with Kansas City angling to draw the contest.

City sports officials tell the Kansas City Star they put together a solid bid for the game and want the event for the community and fans.

While it is not known what other cities have put in bids, Houston apparently is not among the suitors. KRIV-TV in Houston reports NRG Stadium is already hosting the Southwestern Athletic Conference title game on the same days as the first three years of the Big 12’s bid cycle. The SWAC also has first right of refusal for the following three years.

Big 12 officials are slated to meet next week, with expansion expected to be among the items on the agenda.

Atlanta hands Broncos their first loss

Posted on

Broncos logoDENVER (AP) — Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons didn’t need another 300-yard performance from Julio Jones to decipher Denver’s dazzling defense and wreck Paxton Lynch’s first NFL start with a 23-16 win over Broncos on Sunday.

Using a steady dose of I-formation runs and short passes that put Denver’s linebackers in coverage, the Falcons (4-1) handed the Super Bowl champs their first loss since Dec. 20 at Pittsburgh and left the Minnesota Vikings (5-0) as the NFL’s last unbeaten team.

The Broncos (4-1) were on their heels having to respect the play-action because Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman were so effective running the ball, combining for 119 yards and a 4.4-yard average.

A week after setting a franchise record with 503 yards passing in a runaway win over Super Bowl 50’s other participant, the Carolina Panthers, Ryan threw for 267 yards Sunday and only two of those (covering 29 yards) went to Jones.

Last week, Jones became just the sixth 300-yard receiver in NFL annals, not that Denver’s “No Fly Zone” defense was impressed. They dismissed that performance as a bad day by the Panthers, and they stifled Jones all afternoon.

Not that it mattered.

Coleman, who played despite having sickle cell trait, which can sometimes be exacerbated at altitude, showed off his breakaway speed by catching four passes for 132 yards to go with his 31 yards on six carries.

Ryan’s rather modest total included a 31-yard touchdown toss to Coleman following Ricardo Allen’s interception at the Denver 42 in the third quarter that made it 20-3.

That sequence sent some flustered fans streaming for the exits as the Falcons finished off the Broncos, who hadn’t lost at home since Dec. 13 against Oakland.

The Broncos don’t have much time to digest the loss. They play at San Diego on Thursday night, and their hope is that Trevor Siemian’s bruised left shoulder is healed by then.

Lynch, the 26th overall pick out of Memphis last April, got the starting nod because Siemian’s bruised A.C. joint in his non-throwing shoulder was still bothering him a week after he was flung to the turf in Tampa.

It was Lynch who showed he wasn’t ready Sunday, however.

He completed 23 of 35 passes for 223 yards with a late TD to Demaryius Thomas and an interception. He was sacked a half-dozen times, including 3½ times by outside linebacker Vic Beasley, who burned right tackle Ty Sambrailo on three of those takedowns.

Lynch’s footwork was a mess and his overthrows and misfires ruined any chance the Broncos had of capitalizing on the league’s 30th ranked defense, including the NFL’s next-to-last pass defense and a patchwork linebacker corps.

Unlike Siemian, Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler, all of whom did enough to allow Denver’s stout defense to secure the win during an NFL-best nine-game winning streak, Lynch couldn’t avoid mistakes that doomed his team to defeat. He constantly held onto the ball too long and too often didn’t make decisions or moves fast enough.

PROTECTION PROBLEMS: It didn’t help Denver that right tackle Donald Stephenson (calf) was deactivated for a third straight week. Ty Sambrailo was repeatedly burned by Beasley before the Broncos moved right guard Michael Schofield over and inserted Darrion Weems.

GROUNDED GROUND GAME: The Broncos’ ground game has ground to a near standstill ever since Stephenson and tight end Virgil Green pulled calf muscles in Week 2. After averaging 141 yards and 4.7 yards a carry in their first two games, the Broncos nosedived to 70 yards and 2.5 yards a carry in next two games. Green and Stephenson were surprise holdouts Sunday and the Broncos gained just 84 yards on two dozen handoffs.

MILLER TIME: Even in defeat, Von Miller got to the quarterback. He recorded a sack and now has 6½ on the season.

Late Lindenwood goal sinks valiant comeback effort by FHSU men’s socer

Posted on

HAYS, Kan. – The Fort Hays State men’s soccer team dropped a hard-fought match to Lindenwood on Sunday by a score of 3-2. With the loss the No. 16 ranked Tigers now sit at 7-3-1 overall and 3-1 in the MIAA. The No. 22 ranked Lions are now alone at the top of the MIAA standings with an overall record of 9-2-2 and 4-0 mark in the conference.

The Lions got on the board early when they scored just 2:08 into the match. Nijaz Muratovic was able to gain possession of a loose ball in the Tiger box then rifled it past the Tiger keeper, Michael Yantz, for his third goal of the season. They extended their lead in the 32nd minute when leading scorer Xhovani Dokaj found the back of the net for his 12th goal of the season. Similar to the first goal, Dokaj was in the right place at the right time when a loose ball landed at his feet and with a strike put Lindenwood up 2-0.

The Tigers looked like a different team in the second half as they came out with intensity. Derick Gonzalez cut the lead in half with his sixth goal of the season. Mauricio Castorino lobbed a slow ball into the box that found Gonzalez who drilled it past the keeper. In the 63rd minute, Luis Torres made it a 2-2 game with his sixth goal of the season. Torres took advantage of a loose ball that was bouncing around in the box and about six yards out got a good strike to get it past the keeper.

With all the momentum in their favor by outworking Lindenwood the entire second half, the Tigers let the golden opportunity for a comeback win slip away with just 1:35 to play in regulation. Lindenwood set up one of its few opportunities in the second half methodically as Jose Sanchez was the beneficiary of some nifty passing from Dokaj and Gaspar Alvarez. He was able to get a flick on the ball in front of the net that would send the Lions to their eighth consecutive win.

Michael Yantz took the loss in net for the Tigers with three saves and drops to 5-3-1 this season.

The Tigers look to bounce back on Saturday when they take a break from MIAA play. They host University of Mary at 7 pm in Hays.

FHSU women’s soccer rolls to shutout of Missouri Western

Posted on

HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State improved to 8-3-1 overall and 4-1 in the MIAA with a 3-0 shutout of Missouri Western on Sunday. The Tigers scored two first half goals into the wind, then tacked on another late downwind to cruise to victory. Missouri Western moved to 8-4 overall and 3-2 in the MIAA.

The Tigers took control within the first four minutes of the game when Kelsey Steffens corralled a pass from Jasmine Beaulieu just outside the box and made a nice turn to get in scoring position. Eden Stoddard broke free on the right side of the box and easily buried a shot past the keeper off a nice pass from Steffens. Beaulieu and Steffens each earned assists on the play.

In the 26th minute, Hannay Jurgens earned her first goal of the season with a header off a corner kick from Darby Hirsch. The Tiger defense kept the Griffons from making any threat in the second half and Kylie Thomas picked up Fort Hays State’s third goal in the 73rd minute. Hirsch sent a missile for a shot from about 30 yards out into the keeper’s hands. Silvana Romero touched the rebound before the ball went off the back of Thomas’ leg into the goal. Hirsch earned her second assist of the match on the play.

The Tigers outshot the Griffons 9-5 in the match and Abbie Flax saved all three shots the Griffons put on goal. Flax moved to 6-3-1 on the season in goal. Paige Labadie took the loss for MWSU, dropping to 2-3.

The Tigers hit the road next weekend for another pair of MIAA matches. FHSU is at Southwest Baptist on Thursday (Oct. 13) at 4 pm, then at Missouri Southern on Saturday (Oct. 15) at 11 am.

TMP breaks streak, beats Oakley

Hays Post

TMP 21, Oakley 20

It had been a long time since the TMP Monarch football team tasted the sweet nectar of victory.  TMP’s last win was September 11, 2015 on the road in Ellis.  After 12 straight losses that streak has been erased following a thrilling 21-20 win in Oakley on Friday night.

Oakley started off the ballgame in impressive fashion with a 13 play, 81 yard drive capped off with a 1-yard touchdown run by Auston Holzmeister.  TMP would get the ball back and their ensuing drive would eventually stall forcing a Monarch punt.  Oakley was back on the attack but a fourth down interception by Creighton Renz halted the drive and was the beginning of a defensive battle.

The Monarch defense was not done.  TMP would get a second interception late in the second quarter by Joe Flax. The Monarchs would march 42 yards in 10 plays when Luke Ruder took the ball into the end zone from 9 yards out to tie the game at seven heading into halftime.

TMP started the third quarter with the ball and continued where they left off in the first half.  The Monarchs scored three minutes into the third quarter on Ruder’s second touchdown run of the night, this time from 16 yards out. They weren’t done scoring yet as three minutes later Gavin Schumacher streaked 87 yards to the house to give TMP a 21-7 lead midway through the third quarter.

Oakley would answer quickly.  Jace Ochs caught a Kendrick Smith pass in traffic and rumbled 38 yards for the score just a minute after TMP scored.  Neither team could crack the scoreboard the rest of the third quarter.

The drive of the game came from the Plainsmen as they drove 99 yards in 16 plays and scored on a 15 yard run from Smith with 35 seconds to go in the game.  Instead of going for the tie with the extra point kick, Oakley went for the win and they were shut down by the Monarch defense.

Schumacher finished with a career high 157 yards and a touchdown.  Ruder finished with 36 yards and two scores. TMP improves to 1-5 on the season and will host undefeated Phillipsburg to open up district play next week.

Hays High falls at home to Dodge City

Posted on

By Dustin Armbruster

The Hays High Indians played Dodge City to close out their Western Athletic Conference schedule Friday night at Lewis Field Stadium. It was also the final game Hays would have to play versus an opponent in 5A or 6A, as the Indians open up 4A-I play next week.

Dodge City scored on all four of their first half possessions building a 24-7 lead. Hays tied the game at seven on a 31 yard third down pass from Hunter Brown to Mason Ibarra. Dodge City responded to take a 14-7 lead on the Red Demon’s quarterback ran in the second of his three first half touchdowns.

Hays put together a 65 yard drive getting to the 65 yard line but had a 32 yard field goal blocked. Two plays later Williams again hit pay dirt, this time on 74 yard run and a 21-7 lead. The Red Demons added a 34 yard field just before half for a 24-7 lead.

Highlights

Dodge City started the second half with a three and out, but got the ball back following a muffed punt by the Indians. Dawson Williams scored his fourth rushing touchdown of night pushing the lead to 30-7 following a missed extra point.

The Indians went on a 16 play drive on the next drive but lost the ball at the 26 yard line on downs. Dodge City ended up scoring on eight of their ten possessions winning 44-14. Hays did add another score on a 4th down pass of 28 yards from Brown to Collyn Kreutzer.

Coach Randall Rath

Hays totaled 270 yards and falls to 1-5 and finishes 0-4 in the Western Athletic Conference. Dodge City improves to 4-2 and is 1-1 in conference play. The Red Demons had 373 yards, 305 on the ground. Dodge City quarterback Dawson Williams scored four times and ran for 189 yards. Tylor Garcia ran for 110 and two scores. The Indian’s quarterback Hunter Brown threw for 136 yards and two touchdowns. Mason Ibarra and Collyn Kreuzter each had scoring catch.

Hays moves on to 4A-I district play next week as they travel to 4-2 McPherson.
