🏐 HHS has three named to All-WAC team

By KEN MAGUIRE AP Sports Writer

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Patrick Mahomes said teammate Bryan Cook looked as if he was running the anchor leg of a 4x100-meter track and field relay on his touchdown.

The Chiefs safety took a fumble return 59 yards for what turned out to be an important touchdown&nbsp;in Kansas City's 21-14 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Deutsche Bank Park.

“He got those knees up and was rolling down the field,” Mahomes said. “Huge play that obviously mattered a ton in the game.”

Mahomes threw two touchdown passes and the Chiefs (7-2) did just enough to slow the NFL’s top-ranked offense in the first-ever regular season game in Frankfurt, Germany, but the defending Super Bowl champions nearly blew a big lead.

Miami's comeback fell short when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa couldn't handle a snap on fourth-and-10 from the Kansas City 31 with 1:03 to play.

“I’m always going to blame myself — I’ve got to catch the ball,” Tagovailoa said. “Can’t end the game like that when we have an opportunity like that against a really good team.”

Mahomes connected on first-half scoring passes to Rashee Rice and Jerick McKinnon as Miami (6-3) kept getting stuck in third-and-long situations. The Dolphins also fell to 0-3 on the season against teams with winning records.

Mahomes finished 20 of 30 for a season-low 185 yards in his European debut, but the Chiefs’ offense struggled in the second half. Tight end Travis Kelce had just three catches for 14 yards, which was just enough to become the franchise's career leader in receiving yards.

“Obviously, penalties and then me not connecting on guys deep down the field hurt us, but luckily for us our defense is playing their tail off and we got the win,” Mahomes said.

Three Chiefs players combined to put Kansas City up 21-0 just before halftime on one of the top defensive plays of the season so far.

And it came at the expense of former teammate Tyreek Hill.

With the Dolphins driving late in the first half, cornerback Trent McDuffie stuffed Hill on a short pass in the flat and stripped the ball from the All-Pro receiver. Mike Edwards scooped it up and after Hill tried to tackle him, Edwards lateraled to Cook, who returned it for the score.

Cook said the most recent time he scored a touchdown was while playing collegiately for Howard in 2018.

Hill finished with a team-high eight catches for 62 yards.

Taylor Swift was a no-show, as was Miami’s offense early on. The only thing more surprising than Miami’s first-half struggles on offense was referee Clay Martin making a "false start" call in German&nbsp;in the first quarter.

Miami hadn’t been shut out in the first half of a game since Week 2 of the 2021 season.

But Tagovailoa got the comeback started with a 31-yard touchdown pass to Cedric Wilson Jr. in the third quarter.

Bradley Chubb’s strip-sack of Mahomes then gave Miami the ball on the Kansas City 27, and Raheem Mostert ran it in from 13 yards after an unnecessary roughness call on Chris Jones on a third-and-20 keep the drive alive. Mostert had 12 carries for 85 yards.

Tagovailoa finished 21 of 34 for a season-low 193 yards.

After a game that could have playoff implications — the Chiefs have hosted a record five straight AFC championship games — Chiefs coach Andy Reid said the flight home will feel shorter.

“There's nothing worse than going into a bye week with a loss first of all, and then an eight-hour plane ride on top of that,” Reid said.

The Chiefs haven’t lost back-to-back games since early in the 2021 season and stayed undefeated in international games. They won in London in 2015 and in Mexico City in 2019.

The Dolphins have lost their past four international games. They are 2-5 in games played outside the United States.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle was slow to get up after blocking on rushing attempt on Miami's first drive. He returned on the second drive and took a reverse for a 12-yard gain. ... OL Robert Jones was helped off the field early in the fourth quarter. Reid said there were no Chiefs injuries to report.

Dolphins: Bye week and then host the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 19.

Chiefs: Bye week before a Monday night Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles at Arrowhead Stadium on Nov. 20.

🏈 Mahomes throws 2 TDs, Chiefs hang on to beat Dolphins in Germany

WARRENSBURG, Mo. - The Fort Hays State football team led at halftime against No. 11 Central Missouri, the Mules shutout the Tigers in the second half and won 47-28 Saturday at Walton Stadium. The victory coupled with Pittsburg State's loss at Missouri Western gave UCM a share of the MIAA title and kept their playoff hopes alive.

The loss ended Fort Hays State's five-game win streak, their longest since winning seven-straight in 2019.

Fort Hays State (7-3, 6-3 MIAA) battled blow for blow with the nation's top offensive attack in the first half. FHSU had three leads including a 28-24 lead at halftime.&nbsp;

UCM (9-1, 9-1 MIAA) scored the game's first touchdown when the MIAA's leading receiver Arkell Smith broke a tackle and sprinted 68 yards for a touchdown on a pass from Zach Zebrowski but the Tigers answered on the following possession when Jack Dawson found&nbsp;true freshman Jabari Lewis on a 25-yard touchdown pass.

After getting a pair of stops, FHSU grabbed a 14-7 lead on a&nbsp; 29-ayrd touchdown run from Travis Dixon with 4:33 remaining in the opening quarter.

A 63-yard pass from Zebrowski to Derrick Rose set up a two-yard Zebrowski 2-yard touchdown run to tie the game 14-14. FHSU would answer with an eight-play, 75-yard drive capped by a 29-yard touchdown pass from Dawson to Trevor Watts.

Zebrowski's second touchdown pass of the first half tied the game 21-21 early in the second quarter. The Tiger defense stopped the Mules on their next possession, and then the Tiger offense went on a long 13-play, 72-yard touchdown drive capped by a 1-yard plunge by Dixon with 2:07 remaining before the half. 

UCM drove down the field and kicked a field goal on the final play of the second quarter to pull within four.

The Mules dominated the second half. After an interception on the Tigers first possession, they marched 43 yards and took the lead 31-28 when Zebrowski found Price Morgan for an 8-yard touchdown pass. 

The Tiger offense was held to only five yards on the third quarter and also yielded a safety which pushed the Mules' lead to 33-28. 

UCM scored again on TD pass from Zebrowski to Jack Pospisil to make the score 40-28. They put the game away with a 42-yard touchdown pass from Zebrowski to Rose. 

Dawson finished the game with 261 passing yards for FHSU. Dixon led the Tigers with 84 rushing yards and Trevor Watts&nbsp;had a team-high 11 receptions for 113 yards. John Johnson led the Tiger defense with&nbsp;15 tackles, followed by Benyon Williams with 10 and Makel Williams&nbsp;with nine. Parrish Terry had two sacks and Myles Menges&nbsp;added one.

Zebrowski lived up to his billing as the nation's top passer. The UCM signal caller threw for 459 yards and five touchdowns. Smith finished with 149 receiving yards, followed by Rose with 118. The Mules generated 531 yards of total offense. 

Fort Hays State will close out its regular season next weekend at home when it plays host to in-state rival Emporia State. Both teams will enter the contest at 7-3 overall and 6-3 in the MIAA. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. on Saturday (Nov. 11) at Lewis Field Stadium.&nbsp;

🏈 Tigers shutout in second half, lose at No. 11 Central Missouri

By ANDREW LOGUE Associated Press

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Jason Bean passed for 287 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown to Lawrence Arnold after Iowa State pulled within three points in the fourth quarter, and the No. 22 Jayhawks held off the Cyclones for a 28-21 victory Saturday night.

The Jayhawks (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) won consecutive conference games for the first time since 2008. They also reached the seven-win benchmark and won in Ames for the first time since that ’08 season.

“This is a great college environment,” Bean said of Iowa State’s Jack Trice Stadium. “It’s a tough environment for any team to come in and play.”

Iowa State (5-4, 4-2) began the day in a five-way tie for first place in the Big 12, but the Cyclones’ comeback bid came up short after they trailed 21-3 with 9:24 left in the third quarter.

“We never put our head down,” Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht said. “We kept fighting. That’s what I love about this team.”

Bean completed 14 of 23 passes, his biggest one to Arnold giving Kansas a 10-point cushion right after Iowa State had scored to make it 21-18. Arnold got behind the secondary to make the catch at the 50 and ran the rest of the way untouched.

“It was a play we worked on all week,” Bean said. “I felt like all game we were baiting them to come down low enough to get past them on that play. I delivered the ball to (Arnold) and he did the rest.”

A field goal got the Cyclones within 28-21 with 4:53 left. The Jayhawks were able to pick up two first downs on their final possession to run out the clock.

“We don’t get too high. We don’t get too low,” said Arnold, who finished with 112 yards on three catches. “It was just keeping your composure and making sure we did what we had to.”

Kansas’ Devin Neal scored the first of his two touchdowns on the game’s opening series, capping a nine-play, 87-yard drive.

Mello Dotson returned an interception 50 yards for Kansas’ second touchdown, and his second pick-six in two games. The Jayhawks missed two field goals before Iowa State trimmed the margin to 14-3 on Chase Contreraz’s 35-yard kick before halftime.

Neal’s second touchdown completed a 75-yard drive to start the third quarter and gave Kansas a 21-3 lead.

“I feel like it was a lack of detail on our part,” Cyclone receiver Jaylin Noel said of Iowa State’s slow start. “Just little things. Jumping offsides, holding personal fouls. It’s hard to win when you get those type of penalties.”

The first two times Kansas was in the Top 25 this season, it lost its next game. The Jayhawks should stay in the rankings a second straight week.

Kansas' Dotson appeared woozy after hitting his head while making a diving tackle of Dimitri Stanley with 10 seconds left in the first half. Athletic trainers tended to Dotson on the field for a few minutes, but he was able to walk off the field on his own.

Bean grabbed the back of his left leg after ISU’s Will McLaughlin hit him low after he threw a pass in the second half. No. 3 quarterback Cole Ballard came on to take one snap.

Iowa State's defense neutralized the top running back duo in the Power Five. Neal and Daniel Hishaw came into Saturday with a combined 1,259 rushing yards on the season but netted a combined 86 yards on 30 carries. Neal ended up with 57 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

They also reached the seven-win benchmark and won in Ames for the first time since that ’08 season.“This is a great college environment,” Bean said of Iowa State’s Jack Trice Stadium. “It’s a tough environment for any team to come in and play.”Iowa State (5-4, 4-2) began the day in a five-way tie for first place in the Big 12, but the Cyclones’ comeback bid came up short after they trailed 21-3 with 9:24 left in the third quarter.“We never put our head down,” Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht said. “We kept fighting. That’s what I love about this team.”Bean completed 14 of 23 passes, his biggest one to Arnold giving Kansas a 10-point cushion right after Iowa State had scored to make it 21-18. Arnold got behind the secondary to make the catch at the 50 and ran the rest of the way untouched.“It was a play we worked on all week,” Bean said. “I felt like all game we were baiting them to come down low enough to get past them on that play. I delivered the ball to (Arnold) and he did the rest.”A field goal got the Cyclones within 28-21 with 4:53 left. The Jayhawks were able to pick up two first downs on their final possession to run out the clock.“We don’t get too high. We don’t get too low,” said Arnold, who finished with 112 yards on three catches. “It was just keeping your composure and making sure we did what we had to.”Kansas’ Devin Neal scored the first of his two touchdowns on the game’s opening series, capping a nine-play, 87-yard drive.Mello Dotson returned an interception 50 yards for Kansas’ second touchdown, and his second pick-six in two games.

🏈 No. 22 Kansas holds off Iowa State to reach 7-win mark for first time since 2008

By JIM VERTUNO AP Sports Writer

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas was dominant for most of three quarters against Kansas State, building a comfortable 20-point lead behind a suffocating defense.

Then the No. 7 Longhorns found themselves in overtime, clinging to a three point lead with just six yards between the No. 25 Wildcats, the end zone and a loss.

“These are the moments you live for. Everybody wants to be the person to make that play,” Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron said. “Trust one another. And that's what we did.”

With a chance to win and all the momentum, Kansas State gained just two yards in three plays before Texas' Barryn Sorrell pressured Will Howard into a desperate, off-balance pass that fell incomplete, as the Longhorns made Bert Auburn's 42-yard field goal stand up for a 33-30 win that keeps them atop the Big 12.

Texas (8-1, 5-1 Big 12, No. 7 CFP) matched last season's win total and stayed on track for a possible berth in the Big 12 championship game. Texas hasn't won the league since 2009, and this is the last chance before the program leaves for the Southeastern Conference next season.

“Versatility, resilience, perseverance ... those are all qualities championship teams have,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said. “They can make plays at critical moments.”

That was Kansas State (6-3, 402, No. 23 CFP) when the Wildcats came storming back from a 27-7 deficit late in the third quarter. Kansas State rallied behind three touchdown passes from Howard in less than three minutes.

Kansas State forced overtime on Chris Tennant's 45-yard field goal with 1 second left. Tennant had earlier missed a short chance to tie with just under two minutes left.

Texas went nowhere on its first possession of overtime before Auburn's go-ahead kick, his fourth field goal of the game. Kansas State was then quickly inside the Texas 10.

Facing fourth down, the Wildcats went for the win instead of another field goal to tie and more overtime. Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said he didn't hesitate to make the call and would do it again if given another chance.

“Our kids always believe we have a shot,” Klieman said. “I’m upset that we lost, but watching what our guys were able to do in the second half was pretty special.”

Jonathon Brooks ran for 112 yards and a touchdown for Texas, which also got a 54-yard scoring run early from C.J. Baxter. Howard passed for 327 yards and four touchdowns for the Wildcats, two of them to Phillip Brooks.

Kansas State's rally was helped by consecutive Texas turnovers — an interception and fumble — that set up two quick Howard touchdown passes. A blocked punt set up Kansas State's only touchdown in the first half.

“It tested us. It tested our resilience," Sarkisian said. “It tested our culture to stick together.”

Texas has been dominant on run defense all season and allowed just 33 yards on the ground Saturday.

“I think we're proving the physicality that Texas can play with on defense that probably hasn't been there in the past decade,” said Texas edge rusher Ethan Burker, who had two sacks. "We're really showing the country how physical and strong we are.

Kansas State: The Wildcats stubbornly stuck to a running game that was going nowhere in the first half. Even when they rotated in speedy freshman quarterback Avery Johnson, his first full series produced three consecutive handoffs instead of letting him probe for an opening. The Wildcats moved the ball through the air on a short scoring drive in the second quarter before opening up the offense on Howard's passing in the second half.

Texas: Maalik Murphy has managed the last two games at quarterback for Texas but has been erratic and struggled with accuracy and turnovers Saturday. After a quick start Saturday, he threw one interception and two more passes that were dropped by Wildcats defenders. Ewers has been deemed “week-to-week” by coach Steve Sarkisian with a sprained right throwing shoulder.

“Quinn is moving in the right direction" to return, Sarkisian said. "How quickly I don't know yet.”

Texas wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, a transfer from Georgia, caught eight passes for 149 yards and touchdown, his third scoring connection with Murphy in two games.

🏈 FG and late defensive stand lift No. 7 Texas over No. 25 Kansas State in OT



GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – A handful of FHSU Women's Wrestling student-athletes traveled to compete unattached in the Maverick Open on Saturday (Nov. 4), seeing the first official action for any wrestler in the program's infancy. Freshman Piper Cadden&nbsp;blazed her way to the 136-pound title, while Marissa Porsch, Lila Bloomer and Ashlynn Goodwin&nbsp;all placed in their respective weight classes.

Bloomer's only loss was a 16-7 decision to weight class champion Alison Evans, who was wrestling unattached as well.

Goodwin&nbsp;placed third at 143 pounds, but she took out three ranked wrestlers in the process including the same wrestler twice. After an opening round 10-0 technical fall, she knocked off Abigail Trayhorn of Snow College, the No. 6 ranked wrestler at 143 in the NJCAA, 8-2.

🏃‍♂️ Tiger men 12th at Central Regional

Fort Hays State (7-2, 6-2 MIAA) at #11/8 Central Missouri (8-1, 8-1 MIAA) Saturday, November 4 – 1 p.m. Warrensburg, Mo. – Walton Stadium

Radio:&nbsp;KJLS (103.3)&nbsp;<a href="https://mix103fm.com/">CLICK HERE TO LISTEN</a> Video:&nbsp;The MIAA Network&nbsp;<a href="https://themiaanetwork.com/fhsutigers/">CLICK HERE TO WATCH ($)</a>

Fort Hays State will face Central Missouri in a key battle that will have MIAA standings and NCAA postseason implications on Saturday (No. 4) in Warrensburg, Mo. The Mules are ranked No. 11 in the latest AFCA Top 25 Poll and No. 8 in the D2Football.com poll, while the Tigers are receiving votes in the AFCA Top 25 Poll.

Central Missouri is only one game back in the loss column of undefeated Pittsburg State in the MIAA standings. PSU is 8-0 in the MIAA, while UCM is 8-1. Both teams are in the latest edition of the NCAA Super Region rankings with Pittsburg State at No. 1 and Central Missouri at No. 4. Though Fort Hays State is not in the top 10 right now, a win on Saturday could drastically raise the Tigers' stock for NCAA postseason consideration and pull the Tigers even in the loss column with Central Missouri in the MIAA standings. Pittsburg State takes on the No. 9 ranked team in the super region, Missouri Western (7-2, 6-2 MIAA), on Saturday in St. Joseph. That game could also have a big impact on conference standings and region rankings. Currently there are still four undefeated teams in Super Region 3, which includes Pittsburg State, Harding, Indianapolis, and Davenport.

This game pits the MIAA's top defense vs. the top offense. Fort Hays State owns the best total defense in the MIAA at only 254 yards allowed per game. The Tigers have held seven of nine opponents this year to less than 300 yards, but their season high allowed was 476 to Pittsburg State in Week 2. Central Missouri averages an NCAA-best 590.2 yards of offense per game. The season low for UCM this year was 442 yards against Pittsburg State in Week 3.

Central Missouri leads the all-time series with FHSU 10-8. The Tigers have closed the gap considerably, going 6-2 in the last eight meetings. FHSU won each of the last two meetings, taking the 2021 meeting in Warrensburg 21-17 and the 2022 meeting in Hays 27-14. In the 6-2 run by the Tigers over the last eight meetings, they held the Mules to less than 20 points in each of those wins. UCM scored 34 in each of its wins during that span (2019 and 2016), which were both in Warrensburg. UCM holds a 5-3 advantage in past meetings between the teams in Warrensburg.

The Fort Hays State rushing attack has been alive and well over the last five weeks during the team's five-game win streak. The Tigers had at least 196 rushing yards in all five games, and they went over 200 in all three home games during that run. Shane Watts&nbsp;has ran for over 100 yards in each of the last three games, becoming the first Tiger to rush for 100 or more yards in three straight since Charles Tigner did so during the 2018 season.

Meanwhile, the Tiger passing attack has been consistent, led by Jack Dawson&nbsp;with 2,209 passing yards and 22 touchdowns. The Tigers have produced at least 240 passing yards in all but two games this year and average 269.4 yards per game through the air. Trevor Watts&nbsp;(562) and Jayden Horace&nbsp;(500) both have at least 500 receiving yards this season, while Bryson Smith&nbsp;(359) and Cale Cormaney&nbsp;(335) are both north of 300. The Tigers have spread the ball around with 11 different players recording receiving touchdowns this season, but Horace leads the group with 10 receiving touchdowns, which is third-best in the MIAA. Watts ranks fourth in the MIAA in receptions (53).

The Tiger defensive unit has been solid as a whole.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/football/roster/john-johnson/7368">John Johnson</a>&nbsp;leads the group in tackles with 61, followed by Makel Williams&nbsp;with 55. Williams and Kobe Rome share the team lead in interceptions with three each. The Tigers have 14 as a team, which ranks 13th&nbsp;in NCAA Division II. Myles Menges&nbsp;has been disruptive in the backfield with 5.0 sacks in the last three games and leads the team with 5.5 sacks overall. He is tied for the team lead in tackles for loss with Parrish Terry, both with 8.0.

The Tiger defense has the task of trying to slow down the nation's top passer this week in Zach Zebrowski, along with his solid core of receiving targets. Zebrowski leads NCAA Division II in passing yards (3,482) and passing touchdowns (41), and ranks second nationally in completions per game (32.8). Arkell Smith is the MIAA's top receiver with 975 yards and 12 touchdowns. The Mules are no slouch in the running game to counter their passing attack as Marcellous Hawkins is the second-leading rusher in the MIAA at 100.9 yards per game.&nbsp;&nbsp;

🏈 Friday night high school scoreboard (Nov. 3, 2023)

By DUSTIN ARMBRUSTER Hays Post

GODDARD -&nbsp;Hays High traveled to Goddard on Friday night to face the Eisenhower Tigers in the Regional round of the 5A playoffs.

Eisenhower used great starting field position to jump out to a 20-0 first half lead on their way to a 41-7 win over the Indians.

Eisenhower took their opening drive 83 yards for a 7-0 lead and then picked off a Hays pass. The Indians blocked the field goal but threw a second interception on the first play of the next drive. Eisenhower threw a 38 yard touchdown on the next play for a 13-0 lead after the extra point missed.

The snowball continued to roll down hill for Hays as their next drive ended with a punt block that was recovered by the Tigers at the Indian four. Four plays later Eisenhower grabbed a 20-0 advantage.

Hays found some momentum with a touchdown drive of six plays 63 yards. Malik Bah hit pay dirt on a two yard run. The Indians forced a punt on the next possession but ended up punting the ball away themselves. Eisenhower took the punt back to the Indian 36 yard line and scored six plays later for a 27-7 halftime advantage.

Hays High pushed the ball into Eisenhower territory on five separate occasions but could not score any points on a defense that allows just 12 points per game.

Eisenhower added two second half scores on a 28 yard run and 17 yard pass for the 41-7 win.

Hays ends the season at 7-3. Eisenhower improves to 9-1.

🏈 Hays High season ends versus Eisenhower

By JONATHAN ZWEYGARDT Hays Post

NORTON – The TMP-Marian Monarchs season came to an end Friday
night in the second round of the 2A playoffs with an 18-6 loss to the Norton
Bluejays at Travis Field in Norton.

The Monarchs (5-5) started the game with the football and opened
with a solid drive that got all the way to the Norton 26 yard-line but the drive
stalled and TMP gave the ball to Norton on a turnover on downs.

Norton (10-0) wasted little time, scoring in just four plays when
quarterback Eli Jones busted free for a 46-yard touchdown run to put Norton up
6-0.

After a TMP punt, Norton drove right back down the field and
capped off a 12-play drive with an eight-yard touchdown run for a 12-0 lead
with just over seven minutes to play in the first half.

TMP finally broke onto the scoreboard with just under five
minutes left in the first half when, on fourth and one, TMP’s Peyton Schwartz broke
free for a 33 yard touchdown that cut the Norton lead in half at 12-6.

After both teams turned it over on an interception the first
half came to an end with Norton leading 12-6.

In the second half both teams settled in defensively with the
Monarchs forcing Norton into a punt and turnover on downs on their first two
offensive possessions of the second half.

TMP punted on the first drive of the second half and then
after driving inside the Norton 20 yard-line, TMP turned it over on an
interception.

Norton was able to take advantage with a 14-play drive that
ended with the second rushing touchdown of the night for Jones.

TMP tried to put together one last comeback effort but an
interception ended the Monarchs threat and Norton ran out the clock for an 18-6
victory.

Norton’s Eli Jones finished with 164 rushing yards and two
touchdowns in the victory. Norton outgained TMP 300 to 161 total yards.

TMP’s Griffin Schumacher was 9-18 passing for 98 yards and
three interceptions.

The win is the ninth straight for Norton over TMP.
