HAYS, Kan. — Fort Hays State (9-0-2, 5-0-0 GAC) secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Ouachita Baptist (1-7-2, 0-5-0 GAC) on Saturday afternoon at FHSU Soccer Stadium. The Tigers took the lead early with a first half goal, then added two more late to remain unbeaten on the season through 11 matches and continue their best start to a season without a loss in program history.

Fort Hays State controlled the first half against Ouachita Baptist, capitalizing on a flurry of offensive pressure to take a 1-0 lead. Oliver Wright delivered his third header goal of the week off a throw in from Joseph Street in the 16th minute. FHSU finished the half with a 19-1 shot advantage. OBU played a man down for the final 70 minutes of the match after one of their players received a red for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity by taking down a FHSU player about to have a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.

The Tigers had several chances to extend the lead early in the second half, but took until the 79th minute to go up 2-0. FHSU broke through with a goal from Juan Linares on a rifle shot inside the box, assisted by Bastian Carlman. Then Carlman pushed the lead to 3-0 a few minutes later off a free kick from Tadhg Walsh. Fort Hays State went on to outshoot Ouachita Baptist 25-2 in the match. Wright attempted eight shots in the match to lead FHSU.

Payton Roehrich secured another individual shutout in goal by making one save. He now has six individual shutouts and has been part of two combined shutouts as well, helping FHSU record its eighth shutout of the season overall.

Next up for the Tigers will be a home match against Newman University on Thursday (Oct. 16) at 7 p.m. The team has selected it to be their Senior Night, even though more home games remain on the schedule beyond the contest.

👟 Tiger men's cross country fifth at FHSU Tiger Open

By GARRETT WELLBROCK Hays Post Sports

NESS CITY — Trego kept its perfect season alive Friday night, rolling past Ness City 52-6 in a wire-to-wire victory that showcased the Golden Eagles’ balance, efficiency, and physicality on both sides of the ball.

Behind senior quarterback Ashton Wynn, the Golden Eagles scored touchdowns on seven of eight possessions, with every scoring drive lasting five plays or fewer. Trego improved to 6-0 overall, while Ness City dropped to 1-5.

Ness City opened the game with the football but quickly went three-and-out. From there, Trego took control, marching 39 yards in five plays, capped by a 3-yard touchdown pass from Wynn to Cass Smith to take an 8-0 lead. After a defensive stop, the Golden Eagles struck again — another 3-yard touchdown pass from Wynn, this time to Vladon Crawford, extending the margin to 16-0 late in the first quarter.

The Eagles answered with their lone score of the night, converting a 4th-and-3 when Hunter Stenzel found Braddix Bozarth for a 37-yard gain before sneaking in from the 1-yard line to make it 16-6. But Trego immediately countered as Wynn threw his third touchdown pass of the quarter, connecting with Aaron Samson from 17 yards out as the first period expired.

Trego kept its momentum rolling in the second quarter. Jack Conness added a pair of touchdown runs — from seven and nine yards out — as the Golden Eagles’ ground game began to take over. Wynn added a 5-yard scramble in the final minute before halftime, giving Trego a commanding 46-6 lead at the break after a blocked punt set up the short field.

Trego opened the second half with one final scoring drive, a four-play, 66-yard march capped by a 13-yard touchdown run from Crawford that triggered the 45-point mercy rule. The Golden Eagles’ backups took over from there as the game ended midway through the third quarter.

Wynn finished a near-perfect night, completing 6 of 7 passes for 52 yards and three touchdowns, adding 21 rushing yards and a score. Conness led all rushers with 139 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries, while Crawford accounted for two total scores.

Trego piled up 237 yards of total offense (185 rushing, 52 passing) and went 7-for-8 in the red zone, continuing a season-long trend of efficiency. The defense held Ness City to just 94 total yards and 0-for-8 on third downs.

For Ness City, Stenzel completed 3 of 5 passes for 53 yards and a touchdown on the ground, while Bozarth added 26 rushing yards and a 37-yard reception.

The win keeps Trego atop the 8-Man Division I District 7 standings and sets up a pivotal stretch run as the Golden Eagles continue their pursuit of a district title and an unbeaten regular season.

Central Oklahoma (2-3, 2-2 MIAA) at RV/#20 Fort Hays State (4-2, 3-1 MIAA) Saturday, October 11 ⦁ 7 p.m. Hays, Kan. ⦁ Lewis Field

Radio:&nbsp;KJLS (103.3)&nbsp;<a href="https://mix103fm.com/">CLICK HERE TO LISTEN</a> Video:&nbsp;MIAA Network:&nbsp;<a href="https://themiaanetwork.com/fhsutigers/">CLICK HERE TO WATCH ($)</a> Television: 38 The Spot (Kansas City area), KOKH TV (Oklahoma City area)

Fort Hays State preps for a key battle with defending MIAA champion Central Oklahoma on Saturday night at Lewis Field in Hays. The Tigers enter at 4-2 overall and 3-1 in the MIAA, while the Bronchos are 2-3 overall and 2-2 in the MIAA. The game will be available for viewing as normal on The MIAA Network, but will also be available on 38 The Spot in the Kansas City area and KOKH TV in the Oklahoma City area.

Central Oklahoma owns a 10-7 advantage in the all-time series and has won three of the last four meetings. However, Fort Hays State owns a 6-4 advantage in MIAA play between the teams. FHSU won five-straight games against UCO from 2015 to 2019. UCO won last year's meeting in Edmond by a score of 49-24. The Bronchos went on to win their first MIAA title in football last year, going 8-1 in MIAA play and 12-2 overall.

Central Oklahoma's record can be a bit deceptive since the Bronchos started the year ranked No. 5 in the AFCA Top 25 and No. 3 in the D2Football.com Top 25. UCO lost to UT Permian Basin in the season opener, a team that is now ranked in the top 10 nationally. The Bronchos bounced back for a win over nationally ranked Pittsburg State and then Washburn, but have lost two straight since to Northwest Missouri State and Central Missouri. Northwest Missouri State is now in the national rankings of both polls after its win over UCO.

Three of Fort Hays State's four wins this year have been one-score games. The Tigers defeated nationally ranked CSU Pueblo on the road by one point, Missouri Western by eight points, and Missouri Southern by seven points. Central Oklahoma will be the fifth opponent the Tigers face this year which has either been ranked or receiving votes at some point this year.

Fort Hays State is led offensively by quarterback Caleb Heavner, who averages 220 yards of total offense per game. He has thrown for 1,046 yards and rushed for 274. The Tigers have four players with at least 100 rushing yards this season, led by Joshua Clark at 278 yards. Clark produced his first 100-yard rushing game as a Tiger last week at Missouri Southern with 116. Ryan Allen leads FHSU receivers with 202 yards.

Defensively, John Johnson continues to lead the Tigers with 59 tackles for the season. He also leads the team in tackles for loss with 5.5. Gaven Haselhorst leads FHSU in sacks with 3.0, while Michael Chavez and Michael Polley each have two interceptions for the season.

For UCO, William Mason leads the team in rushing with 462 yards, while Jaylen Cottrell has 308. Though Clayton Creason leads the Bronchos in passing yards, Jett Huff returned at quarterback last week and nearly threw for 400 yards. Ashton Schumann leads UCO in receiving by plenty with 444 yards for the season. Connor Johnson leads the UCO defense with 30 tackles.

👟 No. 26 FHSU women's cross country third at home meet

HAYS – The TMP-Marian Monarchs scored on seven of their eight
offensive drives Friday night and added a defensive touchdown as they picked up
their first district win, 52-21 over Oakley.

The Plainsmen opened the game with an 18-play drive that
took the majority of the first quarter, but they missed on a 31-yard field goal.

TMP (3-2, 3-2 MCL, 1-1 1A-D8) answered with a nine-play
drive, but that drive also ended with a missed field goal.

On Oakley’s ensuing drive, the Monarchs got pressure on the
Plainsmen quarterback with Grant Nehls, Bradon Gilmore and Kenneth Walker who
combined for a strip-sack and Nehls recovered the loose ball and returned it
inside the Oakley 25-yard line. 

TMP drove down and capped off the short-field touchdown
drive with a one-yard touchdown run by Carson Liles on fourth down, making it
7-0 after the touchdown and extra point.

Oakley (2-3, 1-2 MCL, 1-1 1A-D8) was forced to punt on their
next two drives while the Monarchs scored on six straight to close out the
night.

TMP put together a second straight seven-play drive that was
capped off by an 11-yard touchdown run from Jackson Gillespie, his first of
three on the night, for a 14-0 TMP lead. 

The touchdown was set up by a 33-yard pass completion from
Liles to Nehls.

Oakley answered right back with a 77-yard touchdown run on
the first play of their drive, cutting the TMP lead to 21-7.

With just 58 seconds to play, TMP took over deep in their
own territory after a penalty.

TMP wasted no time marching down the field on seven plays
and in 55 seconds, with Liles finding Nehls for a 24-yard touchdown, putting
TMP up 21-7 at halftime.

The Monarchs opened the second half with the football and
took advantage of a short field with Gillespie scoring on a 36-yard touchdown
run for a 28-7 TMP lead.

After Oakley got a touchdown back, on a tipped pass, cutting

🏈 Monarchs offense leads the way in first district win

By DUSTIN ARMBRUSTER Hays Post Sports

DODGE CITY - A tale of two halves ended with Hays High having the better half and beating Dodge City 42-19.

Dodge City (2-4, 0-3 WAC) played an inspired first half, scoring three second quarter touchdowns on the way to a 19-14 lead.&nbsp;

Hays (5-1, 2-0 WAC) turned the ball over on their first two possessions. The Red Demons couldn't capitalize and punted the ball away twice. Holden Lind ripped off a 58 yard run that set up a fourth down touchdown plunge by quarterback Zane Viegra. The Carson Moore extra point gave the Indians a late first quarter lead of 7-0.

Dodge City held the ball for the next ten plays and capped their drive with a fifteen yard touchdown run. The extra point tied the game with 9:48 left before halftime. Hays punted on their next possession and Dodge City seized the lead with a 48 yard touchdown pass, their longest completion of the season. The Red Demons missed the extra point at 14-13.&nbsp;

Hays regained the lead on their next possession. Viegra found Jarek Purdy in the end zone on a 33 yard touchdown pass. Moore's PAT gave the Indians the lead back at 14-13 with 4:02 left in the first half. Hays forced a punt by Dodge City on their next possession but lost the ball on downs at mid-field.&nbsp;

Dodge City needed just two plays to score and take the lead at halftime at 19-14 when their two-point conversion attempt fell incomplete.

The second half belonged to the Indians. Hays scored on all four of their second half possessions. Dodge City started the second half and had a chance to increase the lead. The Hays defense forced a punt that rolled to the three yard line. Holden Lind gave the Indians breathing room with a 29 yard run on first down. Hays marched the remainder of the way to the end zone. Alex Loving used all of his 6'2" frame and reach to haul in a pass to keep the drive going.

Viegra capped the drive with his second touchdown rush to give Hays a lead they would never give back. Moore was perfect on the night on extra point kicks and made the score 21-19 with 5:11 to go in the third.

The Hays defense forced two more punts and held Dodge City on downs on another. The Indian offense took over from there. Viegra found Purdy for a 45 yard touchdown with 1:20 left in the third for a 28-19 advantage.&nbsp;

Braxton Basgall finished off another eleven play drive with a five yard touchdown run for a 35-19 lead. Lind capped the scoring and his big night with a 55 yard run and a 42-19 difference. Lind ended the night with 304 yards rushing on 30 carries.&nbsp;

HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State ran its record to 8-0-2 overall and 4-0-0 in GAC play with a 5-0 shutout of Harding on Thursday evening at FHSU Soccer Stadium. The No. 7 ranked Tigers scored three of their five goals off headers in the box. Oliver Wright and Elias Ovelar Semeniuk both provided two goals in the match, while Juan Linares also got in on the scoring act.

Fort Hays State extended its longest streak without a loss to open a season in program history, remaining unbeaten for the first 10 contests this year. The Tigers did it in dominating fashion, outshooting the Bisons 21-2 in the match. FHSU held HU without a shot in the first half before they found two attempts in the second half.

Fort Hays State took control early in the first half, capitalizing on a throw in by Joseph Street in the sixth minute to set up a header by Wright for his first goal of the season. A near replay of the same sequence about 13 minutes later occurred when Wright headed another ball in off a throw in by Street. Ovelar Semeniuk added a third goal in the 31st minute, capping a dominant half where the Tigers outshot the Bisons 13-0.

The lead grew in the 55th minute when Semeniuk scored with a header in the box off a free kick assist from Tadhg Walsh. It was his 10th goal of the season, which tied him for second-best in the nation. Juan Linares capped the scoring in the 78th minute with a nifty move past a defender, allowing him to fire off a shot for the fifth goal of the match.

Along with their dominance in the shot count, FHSU had 12 corner kick opportunities to none for Harding. Payton Roehrich played the first 61 minutes of the match before yielding to Simon Niksch for the final 29. Neither had to make a save to earn the combined shutout. Fort Hays State now has seven shutouts in 10 matches this season. Wright, Linares, Ovelar Semeniuk, and Dalton Cates all tied for the team lead in shots with three each.

Looking ahead, Fort Hays State will host Ouachita Baptist for another GAC contest on Saturday, October 11 at noon.

The team had 31 players, led by head coach Bob Fornelli, the all-time leader in wins at FHSU and member of the Tiger Sports Hall of Fame. Fornelli set the program record for wins by a coach at 306 and went on to finish with over 1,120 wins in his coaching career with three national title game appearances at the NCAA Division II level, all accomplished at Kansas institutions.
