⚾ FHSU pushes back weekend slate with Lions

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State Men's Basketball had three players recognized with MIAA postseason honors on Tuesday. Kaleb Hammeke&nbsp;became the only five-time All-MIAA selection in FHSU men's basketball program history, earning a first-team selection for the third-straight year. He was also named to the MIAA All-Defensive Team. Kyle Grill&nbsp;was an All-MIAA Honorable Mention pick, while Shaun Riley&nbsp;joined Hammeke as one of five players on the All-Defensive Team.

Hammeke continued to add to his storied career at FHSU. He became the fourth player in the program's history to receive all-conference first team honors for a third time in their careers, joining Elmer Johnson (1938, 1939, 1940), Mark Wilson (1978, 1979, 1981), and Raymond Lee (1984, 1985, 1986). He is the first three-time all-conference first team selection in the program's NCAA Division II history. Hammeke is the all-time leading scorer at FHSU, now with 2,008 points in his career. This season, he is averaging 16.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. He has scored in double figures in all but one game this year. Hammeke is one of only four active players at all NCAA levels to have 2,000 points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists in their careers, joining Mark Sears of Alabama, Caleb Love of Arizona, and RJ Davis of North Carolina. Hammeke also received a selection to the All-Defensive Team for the first time in his career at FHSU.

Grill is enjoying a strong sophomore season for the Tigers. He ranks second on the team in scoring at 11.8 points per game, while adding 4.6 rebounds per game. He has scored in double figures 20 times this season with a season high of 25 points. He scored at least 20 in a game four times this season. Entering the MIAA Tournament, he leads the team in 3-point field goals made with 47.

Riley received a nod on the MIAA All-Defensive Team alongside Hammeke. He averaged a team-best 6.4 rebounds per game in the regular season, while leading the Tigers in blocked shots with 26. Not seen on a stat sheet, Riley consistently showed a suffocating display of defense throughout the season, especially in key moments when outcome of games were on the line.

This was the first time FHSU had multiple players named to the MIAA All-Defensive Team in a season. It is the fourth-straight season the Tigers had representation on the All-Defensive Team. The Tigers are the top defensive team in NCAA Division II, allowing just 59.8 points per game.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Katie DeGarmo&nbsp;has been named MIAA Women's Basketball Player of the Year for a second-consecutive season while fellow Tiger Olivia Hollenbeck&nbsp;has earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2024-25, headlining Fort Hays State's haul in Tuesday's release of the MIAA postseason awards and All-MIAA teams.

Fort Hays State led the league with five All-MIAA performers, tied for the most in a single season in team history. DeGarmo and Hollenbeck were both first team selections, giving the Tigers a pair of first teamers for the sixth time in team history and the first time since 2020-21.

Kate Dilsaver, Brooke Loewe&nbsp;and Talexa Weeter&nbsp;all received honorable mention recognition, while Dilsaver and Hollenbeck were both on the All-Defensive Team. It is the second time FHSU has had multiple representatives on the All-Defensive Team and the first since 2014-15.

DeGarmo is the fifth player since 1980 to earn the conference's top honor in consecutive seasons and the first to do so since Washburn's Crystal Walker in 2001-02 and 2002-03. She is the third player in school history to earn first team honors three times, joining Annette Wiles and Kate Lehman. It is her fourth All-MIAA honor overall after also picking up second team status in 2021-22.

The Maize, Kan. native led the team with 16.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, ranking third in the league in each category. She was also third in assist/turnover ratio in the league (1.9) and ranked 12th in the conference with 1.6 steals per game. She is the program record holder with 1,199 career rebounds while ranking second with 2,198 points. DeGarmo is also fourth all-time in assists, fifth in steals and second in field goals at FHSU.

Hollenbeck is the first five-time all-conference performer in school history. This is her initial first team honor after garnering third team recognition each of the last two years and honorable mention status in her first two seasons at FHSU. She is the first Tiger to earn Defensive Player of the Year honors since Kate Lehman did it in three-straight seasons between 2013 and 2015.The Lincoln, Neb. native ranked second in the conference with 2.3 steals per night while ranking third with 1.7 steals per game. She also ranked fifth in the league in scoring with 16.5 points per contest while posting the second-best field goal percentage in the league at 62.1 percent. Hollenbeck ranks fourth in school history with 1,864 points, second with 217 blocks and eighth with 200 steals in her career. She also ranks third in field goals and needs 30 rebounds to crack the top 10 list in that category at FHSU.

Dilsaver earned her first All-MIAA recognition after averaging 2.0 steals per game, third-most in the league. She ranked fourth on the team with an average of 9.1 points per game while pouring in 24 3-pointers, second-most on the squad. The senior rounded out her stat line with 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, making her the only player on the team to average two or more in four of the five major stat categories (points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks).

Loewe collected her first All-MIAA honor after leading the league with 192 assists this season, averaging 7.1 assists per game. The junior point guard ranks second in Division II in total assists while slotting third in average. She also ranked ninth in the league and third on the team with 1.7 steals per game while ranking fifth on the team with 7.2 points per contest. She broke the single season school record with her 192 assists and already ranks ninth in program history with 347 assists in just three seasons.

Weeter picked up her first All-MIAA award after averaging 13.1 points per game off the bench. She ranked 17th in the league in scoring, making her the only player to rank in the top 25 in the league in scoring that is not a starter for their team. She scored in double figures 20 times this year, including five games with 20 or more points. The sophomore also ranks second on the team with 5.8 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per night.

HOUSTON (AP) — L.J. Cryer scored 22 points and No. 3 Houston won its ninth straight game with a 65-59 victory over Kansas on Monday night.

Emanuel Sharp added 12 points off the bench, including two free throws that pushed Houston's lead to 63-59 with 20 seconds left. The Cougars (26-4, 18-1 Big 12) went 4 of 4 from the foul line down the stretch.

Cryer had 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting in the first half as Houston took a 30-27 lead into the break.

Milos Uzan finished with 10 points for the Cougars, who had already clinched their second consecutive outright Big 12 regular-season title. Mylik Wilson had 10 points, six assists and five rebounds.

Houston shot 35% from the field and was 7 of 20 on 3-pointers.

Hunter Dickinson had 17 points and 12 rebounds for the scuffling Jayhawks (19-11, 10-9), who shot 45%. KJ Adams Jr. added 15 points and David Coit had 14 off the bench.

Kansas: The Jayhawks fell to 3-3 against top-10 teams and 4-3 versus AP Top 25 teams this season.

Houston: The Cougars won for the 22nd time in 23 games and continued to boost their resume for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, improving to 8-4 in Quad 1 matchups.

After Sharp’s two free throws, Kansas guard Dajuan Harris Jr. slipped while trying to catch the inbounds pass, and Cryer stole it. He was fouled and made two free throws to ice the win.

Houston forced 20 turnovers and converted them into 18 points.

Houston visits Baylor on Saturday to close the regular season. Kansas hosts No. 24 Arizona the same day.

HAYS, Kan. - The Fort Hays State baseball team extended its winning streak to seven with a walk-off win over Missouri Western on Sunday, winning 3-2 for the second day in a row. The Tigers (11-4, 6-0) swept their second-straight conference series in the process, doing so for the first time since 2016.

Paul Panduro&nbsp;got the start for the Tigers and gave FHSU seven solid innings, scattering three hits over those frames while allowing just one unearned run to score.

The Tigers struck first in the bottom of the second when Trey DeGarmo&nbsp;led off with a double to center. Luis Ayala&nbsp;followed and reached on an error before DeGarmo came in to score on an RBI groundout from Cooper Howell. Zane Knox&nbsp;kept things rolling with an RBI single up the middle, putting the home team in front 2-0.

Fort Hays State had chances to add to its lead, collecting 11 hits in the game and managing baserunners in each inning, but the Griffon staff was able to get out of multiple jams to keep things close.

The Griffons eventually tied the game with a pair of unearned runs, one in the sixth and one in the top of the ninth. Fort Hays State answered right back, scoring in the bottom of the ninth after Isaiah Ural&nbsp;led off with a double down the right-field line. A pair of intentional walks later loaded the bases with one out for Ayala. The catcher sent a grounder to the third baseman who threw home for the force out to keep things tied. The Griffon catcher then tried to throw Ayala out at first, but the throw got away from the first baseman and allowed Elliott Herrmann&nbsp;to score from second base to end the game.

Kaleb Carpenter&nbsp;came on with one man on in the eighth inning to record three consecutive outs, including a pickoff to wipe out the baserunner. Brandon Chavez&nbsp;(2-0) earned the win after giving up one unearned run on one walk in the ninth inning while striking out one batter.

Cesar Saavedra&nbsp;and Zane Knox&nbsp;each had three hits in the game, while Ural added a pair of base knocks.

The Tigers will continue a nine-game homestand next weekend (March 7-9) when they host No. 13 Missouri Southern, with first pitch again set for 3 p.m. on Friday, 2 p.m. on Saturday and noon on Sunday.&nbsp;&nbsp;
