⚾ Tigers home opener pushed to Saturday

Trayton Roa started getting into the gym to lift weight around his eighth grade and freshman year. In Roa's words, he "fell in love with it." Tuesday the Hays High senior signed to compete in power lifting for Midland University in Fremont, Neb.

Recently, Roa switched the federation he competed under which allowed more exposure to colleges. Midland University saw the numbers and recruited their most recent signee.

Roa has won every competition he has entered in Kansas and Missouri. He finished first in the junior division at a meet in Arkansas and finished second in the open division.

Competing at the 165 pound weight division, Roa currently has personal bests of 545 pounds on deadlift, squat 495, and 260 on bench.

Last season, Midland University had 14 national champions and 10 national runners-up in the various weight divisions.&nbsp;The Warriors won both the women's and men's raw and equipped discipline team titles.

🏀 Two close games as Hays sweeps Dodge City

By DAVE SKRETTA AP Basketball Writer

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State coach Jerome Tang leaped onto the courtside table and pumped his fists, then landed a spectacular dismount, before climbing into the student section and joining in the “Wabash Cannonball” dance to celebrate another ranked win.

Keyontae Johnson scored 25 points, Markquis Nowell added 14 points and 10 assists, and the No. 14 Wildcats followed a long first-half slump with a big second-half run to beat ninth-ranked Baylor 75-65 on Tuesday night.

In doing so, they gave their first-year coach a season sweep of Tang's former team and his longtime mentor, Scott Drew.

“I tried to tell y’all I’m athletic,” said Tang, who spent 19 years on the Baylor bench and helped bring a national title to Waco, Texas. “They were arguably the hottest team in the league, except the second half of the last game and this game.”

Cam Carter added 10 points for the Wildcats (21-7, 9-6 Big 12), who trailed 34-31 at the break before their 18-4 charge gave them control. They coasted from there to a school record-tying seventh win over a ranked team this season.

The last two — against Iowa State and Baylor — came after the Wildcats had lost four of five.

“I thought it was another typical Big 12 game,” Drew said. “K-State played like you're supposed to on your home court. I thought Keyontae Johnson, we really had trouble matching up with him pretty much all night, and then Nowell struggled from the field but 10 assists, zero turnovers. That's why they're first-team all-leaguers.”

Keyonte George hit six 3-pointers and scored 23 points to lead Baylor (20-8, 9-6), which had won seven of its last eight against the Wildcats and three straight in Manhattan. LJ Cryer added four 3s and finished with 16 points.

“You know, it comes back to all of us. It's a team effort,” George said. “We just have to play harder, including myself.”

Baylor was coming off an 87-71 loss at No. 3 Kansas on Saturday in which the Bears were phenomenal in the first half, building a 17-point lead, and dreadful in the second, when they were outscored 55-26 while looking listless and lost.

The Bears' kept that Jekyll-and-Hyde act going Tuesday night.

Their sluggish finish in Lawrence carried over to the opening 13 minutes in Manhattan, when the Wildcats were able to methodically build a 24-13 lead. But after Drew called a timeout, his guys answered with a 3-pointer fueled 21-3 run over the next 6-plus minutes, allowing Baylor to take a 34-31 advantage into the break.

Cryer did most of the damage, going 4 of 5 from beyond the arc and scoring 11 first-half points.

“We did a really good job early and we messed up on some ball-screen coverages and they were able to make some 3s,” Tang said. “At halftime the team said, ‘Coach, if we do this it’ll make it better for us.' And the fact that they were thinking about how the problems were taking place and they came up with the solution, that was big time.”

Whatever the change, it certainly worked.

The Bears still led 40-37 in the opening minutes of the second half when Johnson scored back-to-back baskets to give Kansas State the lead. David N'Guessan kept the charge going, and it eventually reached 18-4 when Carter took a turnover by the Bears' Caleb Lohner for a dunk that made it 55-44 with just over 8 minutes left in the game.

“It's hard to stop transition offense, especially off turnovers,” Carter said. “We capitalized on that.”

The Wildcats stretched their lead to as many as 14 points before wrapping up the season sweep of the Bears.

“It started in practice,” Nowell said. “Whenever we're in practice, we come with that energy. We have a good scout, we play well. We've been focusing on practice a lot more, focusing on the defensive side, and we got two wins to show for it.”

Baylor struggled to find some help for George and Cryer on offense. Adam Flagler missed his first nine shots and finished with four points on 1-for-13 shooting, and Jalen Bridges had just six points while dealing with foul trouble all night.

Kansas State overcame a poor night from the 3-point arc (4 of 21) by dominating the guard-heavy Bears with a 42-16 edge in the paint. Many of those points came in transition, where the Wildcats had a 19-5 advantage off turnovers.

Baylor returns home to play eighth-ranked Texas on Saturday.

Kansas State visits Oklahoma State the same day.

🏀 Area teams ranked in latest KBCA poll

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Aroldis Chapman can earn up to $8.75 million as part of his one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals if he regains a job as a regular closer.

The left-hander, who turns 35 on Feb. 28, is guaranteed $3.75 million under the deal announced Jan. 27.

Chapman can earn $2.5 million in performance bonuses based on games: $312,500 for 20 and for each additional five through 55. He also can earn $2.5 million based on games finished: $312,500 for 12 and for each additional four through 40.

He averaged 100.7 mph on his fastball in 2016 but dropped below 100 mph in 2018 and was at a career-low 97.5 last season. He was 4-4 with a 4.46 ERA last season for the Yankees, walking 28 and striking out 43 in 36 1/3 innings.

Chapman had spent time on the injured list with Achilles tendinitis in May, then lost the closer job to Clay Holmes. He was on the IL again in August for a leg infection following a tattoo, then missed a mandatory team workout for the playoffs and was left off the Division Series roster.

He would earn $100,000 for winning an MVP award or a Cy Young Award and $50,000 for finishing second through fifth in the voting. He would get $100,000 for World Series MVP or winning the Mariano Rivera/Trevor Hoffman reliever of the year award, and $50,000 for becoming a Rivera/Hoffman finalist. Chapman would get $50,000 for making the All-Star team, winning a Gold Glove or the League Championship Series MVP. He gets a hotel suite on road trips.

Area Game of the Week will be live-streamed Tuesday on Hays Post

A program guy. That is the phrase that Hays High football coach Tony Crough used to describe senior Evan Lind. A few years ago the coaching staff didn't know how they were going to get the new Fort Hays State Tiger on the field.

Through several position changes over four high school seasons, Lind found is way onto the field as a linebacker during a historic season for Hays.&nbsp;

Tuesday Lind signed his National Letter of Intent with Fort Hays State University.

Lind found himself in the endzone three times in 2022. Not bad for a devensive player. When asked about it, he quipped that if Coach Crough wasn't going to give him the ball, he would have to get it himself.

Of Lind's 122 career tackles, 91 were in the fall of 2022. Lind also recorded eight tackles for loss and one sack. Both of his interceptions were returned for touchdowns and his one fumble recovery was also taken in for a score. Lind also forced one fumble.

The Indian defense allowed just 16 points per game and were +16 in turnovers.

🏈 Hays High's Evan Lind inks with FHSU

By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Big 12 scoring leader Jalen Wilson was struggling with his shot for third-ranked Kansas, and standout freshman Gradey Dick didn't score again after reaching 19 points only two minutes into the second half.

The Jayhawks, in pursuit of their 21st Big 12 regular-season title, still never trailed after halftime and extended the league's longest active winning streak to five in a row, beating&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-basketball-poll">24th-ranked TCU</a>&nbsp;63-58 on Monday night.

“I’ve said all along, we’ve got five guys that can all go out there and play and take over the game. And that’s the beauty of our team," said Wilson, who had 13 rebounds while&nbsp;<a href="https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/35704230">making only 3-of-11 shots for seven points</a>, more than 13 below his season average. “We’re all going to have some type of effort to win. ... That’s part of a championship team."

Damion Baugh missed a potential tying 3-pointer with five seconds left for TCU (18-10, 7-8 Big 12). Shahada Wells missed a follow-up layup before Kevin McCullar,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/35704091">who finished with 15 points</a>, was fouled and made two free throws to seal it for the Jayhawks (23-5, 11-4).

Kansas began the night tied with idle eighth-ranked Texas for the conference lead. Coach Bill Self's reigning national champions have won seven of eight games since a three-game losing streak that included a 23-point home loss to the Horned Frogs.

“We haven’t accomplished jack, but we've put ourselves in a favorable position to maybe do something,” Self said. “Everybody talked about our sky's falling when we lost three in a row. In this league, that can happen easily. But we’ve recovered pretty good since then."

<a href="https://twitter.com/sportscenter/status/1627881401063477249?s=12&amp;t=e0UFw3IkK2zPbMHYnJlTIw">Not even an appearance from Heisman Trophy runner-up Max Duggan</a>&nbsp;could get the Frogs over the hump. They were within 56-53 with 6:07 left when the four-year starting quarterback, still in his tuxedo after receiving the Davey O’Brien Award in a ceremony about four miles from campus, waved the crowd into a frenzy while going to a courtside seat.

“He looked good tonight with the tux on,” Self said. "I’m just glad he didn’t get here any earlier.”

Neither team made a field goal in the final 4:19. TCU missed its last six shots over that span, while the Jayhawks were 0-for-4 in the final 4:45.

The Frogs tied the game at 48 with 10:13 left when&nbsp;<a href="https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/35704179">Jakobe Coles made a tough leaner</a>&nbsp;while being fouled, but missed the free throw that would have put them in the lead.

Mike Miles Jr. had 13 points for TCU, which has lost five of its last six games. The first four of those losses came when the guard was out with a hyperextended right knee. Coles added 12 points and Baugh had 11.

It was only the second game Miles and big man Eddie Lampkin played together for the Frogs since their 83-60 win at Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 21. That was the second-worst home loss for Kansas in Self’s 20 seasons.

With both of them starting again, TCU beat Oklahoma State 100-75 at home Saturday to end a four-game losing streak while hitting the century mark in a Big 12 game for the first time. Lampkin, who missed four of six games after a high left ankle sprain in the first meeting against the Jayhawks, had two points and eight rebounds in the rematch.

“It’s disappointing how we played and how we executed and how we handled the situation,” TCU coach Jamie Dixon said. “Obviously played good in our last game, excited about having our guys back. But we just didn’t carry it over.”

Kansas: The Jayhawks reached 11 conference wins for the 29th consecutive season, a streak that began in 1994-95 and is the longest active in Division I. They have three regular-season games left, two at home before the finale at Texas.

TCU: After shooting a season-high 68.6% against Oklahoma State two days earlier, the Frogs were a season-low 30.3% (20 of 66) from the field against Kansas. They missed their first eight shots in the first 5 1/2 minutes of the game, then missed their last six shots before the break. TCU missed nine of it last 10.

Kansas is home Saturday to play West Virginia.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kaleb Hammeke&nbsp;was named the MIAA Men's Basketball Athlete of the Week, presented by Shift Group, for a second time this season on Monday. He helped the Tigers to road wins at Pittsburg State and Missouri Southern and reached a major milestone in the process. Hammeke averaged 27 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists this past week, leading the Tigers in scoring for both contests. The Hutchinson, Kan. native had 19 points in a 22-point win at Pittsburg State, then had a tremendous second half against Missouri Southern to finish with 35 points, one shy of his career high. He scored 24 of his 35 after halftime. He was 12-of-18 from the field in that game and near perfect beyond the arc, going 5-of-6. He was also 6-of-7 at the free-throw line in that game. During the win at Missouri Southern, Hammeke became just the fourth player in FHSU men's basketball history to have at least 1,000 points and 300 assists. He joined Raymond Lee (1,615 points, 899 assists), Craig Nicholson (1,449 points, 628 assists), and Mark Wilson (1,631 points, 556 assists) with his first of four assists in the game.

By MATT PIKE&nbsp; St. Joseph Post&nbsp;

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — With the Super Bowl
 in the rearview, all eyes in St. Joseph are turning to ensuring the 
return of Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp this summer. &nbsp;

Mayor 
John Josendale says the effort to keep Chiefs Training Camp at Missouri 
Western is a combined effort between the city, Chamber of Commerce, 
Mosaic Life Care, as well as Missouri Western. &nbsp;

Josendale says the Chiefs are very demanding with Chiefs President Mark Donovan wanting every year to be bigger and better.&nbsp;

"Last
 year we kind of did that, so this year doing it with the world champion
 Chiefs and being able to do it in St. Joe, we're looking forward to 
that," Josendale tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline. "So, we're 
going to plan for them being here, hopefully that comes through in the 
next couple of months that they're here, and we'll build on that."&nbsp;

Chiefs
 Training Camp has been hosted at Missouri Western State University 
since 2010, except for the COVID year.&nbsp; Josendale says currently the 
deal being negotiated is on a year-to-year basis.&nbsp;

"We know that 
we did very well last year, that we got very strong reviews, we know 
that Andy Reid does like being in St. Joe," Josendale says. &nbsp;

Josendale says it's also well known that the players enjoy being here as well.&nbsp;

"They
 come up here, they stay, they get away from the home life in Kansas 
City or wherever they're from, it blends them together and puts them in 
together to where they build that team comradery," Josendale explains.&nbsp;

The
 Chiefs would be coming back to St. Joe as world champions, after 
defeating the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.&nbsp; Mayor John Josendale says he 
thinks it's fair that St. Joseph can take a little credit for that, as 
the place that journey started.&nbsp;

"We put our best foot forward 
when we show the town at that, and this is something that's really 
exciting, not only for us, but when Kansas City wins a world 
championship, St. Joe wins also," Josendale says.

 </figure>By MATT PIKE&nbsp; St. Joseph Post&nbsp;ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — With the Super Bowl
 in the rearview, all eyes in St. Joseph are turning to ensuring the 
return of Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp this summer. &nbsp;Mayor 
John Josendale says the effort to keep Chiefs Training Camp at Missouri 
Western is a combined effort between the city, Chamber of Commerce, 
Mosaic Life Care, as well as Missouri Western. &nbsp;Josendale says the Chiefs are very demanding with Chiefs President Mark Donovan wanting every year to be bigger and better.&nbsp;"Last
 year we kind of did that, so this year doing it with the world champion
 Chiefs and being able to do it in St. Joe, we're looking forward to 
that," Josendale tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline. "So, we're 
going to plan for them being here, hopefully that comes through in the 
next couple of months that they're here, and we'll build on that."&nbsp;Chiefs
 Training Camp has been hosted at Missouri Western State University 
since 2010, except for the COVID year.&nbsp; Josendale says currently the 
deal being negotiated is on a year-to-year basis.&nbsp;"We know that 
we did very well last year, that we got very strong reviews, we know 
that Andy Reid does like being in St. Joe," Josendale says. &nbsp;Josendale says it's also well known that the players enjoy being here as well.&nbsp;"They
 come up here, they stay, they get away from the home life in Kansas 
City or wherever they're from, it blends them together and puts them in 
together to where they build that team comradery," Josendale explains.&nbsp;The
 Chiefs would be coming back to St. Joe as world champions, after 
defeating the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.&nbsp; Mayor John Josendale says he 
thinks it's fair that St. Joseph can take a little credit for that, as 
the place that journey started.&nbsp;"We put our best foot forward 
when we show the town at that, and this is something that's really 
exciting, not only for us, but when Kansas City wins a world 
championship, St. Joe wins also," Josendale says.
