HAYS - Fort Hays State had a scoop and score touchdown to take their first lead of the game but it was an interception by Central Oklahoma returned to the one yard line which set up the go-ahead score that lifted the Bronchos to a 21-14 win over the Tigers in front of 4,719 at Lewis Field Saturday night.

The Tigers (4-3, 3-2 MIAA) took thier only lead in the third quarter when Taderian Partee recoverd a fumble following a high snap over UCO quarterback Jett Huff's head and rumbled 69 yards for a touchdown to put FHSU up 14-7. The Bronchos (3-3, 3-2 MIAA) quickly seized back the momentum 27 seconds later when UCO running back Dev Matthews ran 62 yards for a touchdown to even the score 14-14.

The Tigers moved the ball into UCO territory early in the fourth quarter, but defensive back Bryant Coley intercepted a Caleb Heavner pass and returned it 65 yards to the FHSU 1-yardline. Two plays later, Huff found tight end Dominique Dunn for a two-yard touchdown pass, which proved to be the game winner.

The game was tightly contested throughout with the score tied at the end of each of the first three quarters. After a scoreless first quarter, UCO got on the board with a 37-yard touchdown pass from Huff to Ashton Schumann at 8:53. The Tigers drove 75 yards on their next possession and tied the game on a Heavner 24-yard touchdown pass to&nbsp; tight end Cale Cormaney.

The Tigers were plagued by penalties, totaling 10 for 120 yards including a key 15-yards unsportsmanlike conduct after they had moved to ball to the Bronchos 38-yardline midway through the fourth quarter.

Heavner finished with 212 passing yards for FHSU. Curtis Douglas ran for a team-high 72 yards and Cale Cormaney hauled in nine passes for 93 yards. FHSU had 348 yards of total offense. John Johnson led the FHSU defense with 16 tackles, while Parrish Terry added nine tackles that included a sack.

The Bronchos rushed for 223 yards as a team and had a pair of 100-yard rushers. William Mason finished with 123, while Mattews added 105. Huff finished with 161 passing yards and Schumann was his top target with six catches for 61 yards. Jack Puckett led UCO with 11 tackles, which included a pair of sacks.

Fort Hays State travels to Northwest Missouri State next Saturday. The Bearcats are 5-1 overall and lead the MIAA at 4-0 following a victory Saturday at Central Missouri. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. in Maryville.

🏈 Fourth quarter interception helps Bronchos slip by FHSU

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Cameron Dickey ran for a career-high 263 yards and two long touchdowns, Will Hammond scored twice after replacing&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/texas-tech-behren-morton-injury-1c7e3fb079b539e0a158fbc690d0d37c">injured quarterback Behren Morton</a>&nbsp;and No. 9 Texas Tech beat Kansas 42-17 on Saturday night.

Dickey sprinted 71 yards on the first offensive play for the Red Raiders and added a 55-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter. With co-lead back J'Koby Williams slowed by an injury, Dickey had 21 carries, another career best.

Texas Tech (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) had 372 yards rushing and recovered from a malaise after Morton's injury in the school's first game as an AP top 10 team since 2013.

“We felt like we could run the football against the these guys,” coach Joey McGuire said. “Those two guys feed off each other. J’Koby’s a little banged up, and Cam got the majority of the load and offensive line really played well tonight in the run game.”

A 21-0 Texas Tech lead was down to four points at the break when the Jayhawks (4-3, 2-2) scored on three of their first four possessions after Morton appeared to injure his lower right leg on a sack in the second quarter. He didn't return.

Hammond threw an interception and the Red Raiders punted on his other three possessions before halftime. But the redshirt freshman ran 20 yards for a touchdown on the first drive of the second half.

Dickey's second long TD put Texas Tech up 35-17, and Hammond's 10-yard run finished the scoring. Hammond had 61 yards rushing.

It's the third time Hammond has come on with Morton not returning this season. Morton&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/texas-tech-behren-morton-injury-13a9ea7986c7bce290c62d0cce241947">hyperextended his right knee</a>&nbsp;in a 67-7 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the season opener and was&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/texas-tech-behren-morton-utah-ded4ee663707dff8a8f086842cd111e6">sidelined in a 34-10 win over Utah</a>&nbsp;after taking a hard hit to the head.

Jalon Daniels threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns for Kansas, which dropped to 1-12 in Lubbock and has lost 24 of 26 meetings with the Red Raiders.

“Our margin of error against a top 10 team is going to be pretty small, and we’ve got to play a lot more sound,” Kansas coach Lance Leipold said. “We had trouble blocking them all second half, especially. That’s a really good defensive front. I think it showed up tonight no doubt.”

Kansas: The Jayhawks had all the momentum with the way they finished the first half after Morton's injury. They couldn't sustain it. Kansas punted on its five possessions after the break.

Texas Tech: The Red Raiders gave up some big pass plays to help Kansas get back in the game, but still sacked Daniels eight times. David Bailey had three of them. Texas Tech had a ninth sack on backup Cole Ballard in the final seconds.

Kansas: Off next week before getting rival Kansas State at home Oct. 25.

Texas Tech: At No. 21 Arizona State, the defending Big 12 champion, next Saturday.

🏈 Dickey runs for 263 yards as No. 9 Texas Tech beats Kansas

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Avery Johnson threw three touchdown passes — two to Garrett Oakley — and Kansas State added two defensive touchdowns to defeat TCU 41-28 Saturday afternoon. Des Purnell had two interceptions, including a pick-6, for the Wildcats.

“I thought we played well in all three phases at times,” Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said. “There’s always going to be things that we’ve got to get better at. But we came out with energy, with urgency. We came out with physicality, and did some really good things.”

Johnson finished 16-of-26 passing for 196 yards for Kansas State (3-4, 2-2 Big 12).

Josh Hoover was 26-of-47 passing for 376 yards and three touchdowns for TCU (4-2, 1-2 Big 12).

“We didn't do a very good job of going out and playing well enough to win,” TCU coach Sonny Dykes said. “It was just kind of a disaster in so many ways.”

K-State took a two-score lead early in the third quarter with its second defensive touchdown of the game. Purnell picked off Hoover and raced 25 yards for the score.

“It kind of feels like high school days all over again with the ball in my hand,” Purnell said. “But that was all set up by the rest of the guys around me.”

Johnson then found Garrett Oakley for his second touchdown, this time from 17 yards out, to give the Wildcats a 28-7 lead with 3:57 left in the third quarter. With that touchdown, Oakley became the all-time leader in touchdown catches among K-State tight ends.

“Avery made really nice throws today,” Oakley said. “I thought he had a really good game, so I’m happy for him as well.

"If you would have told me that (I would be the career leader in touchdowns) when I first got here, I don’t think I’d ever believe you. But this is a process organization, just coming to work every day. I put my head down, going to work is kind of what brought me to this moment.”

TCU used a seven-play, 75-yard drive in just 1:51 to draw within 28-14 late in the fourth quarter. Hoover found Chase Curtis on a 2-yard touchdown on fourth down.

But Johnson found Jarend Bradley for a 12-yard touchdown to give K-State a 35-14 lead.

“I didn’t see us as an underdog going into today’s game, and I don’t see us as a 3-4 team now,” Johnson said. “We just had an unfortunate turn of events early in the year. We didn’t play as well as we wanted to play. Last week at Baylor, things don’t go our way. And you might have one or two of those a year where things don’t go your way, but you win and play well in the other ones to make up for it.”

Hoover connected with Eric McAlister for an 85-yard touchdown, but Purnell's second interception in TCU territory set up a Luis Rodriguez field goal.

TCU got on the scoreboard with a 12-play, 93-yard drive late in the first half. Jeremy Payne went around the left end for a 1-yard touchdown.

Kansas State answered with a 32-yard touchdown pass from Johnson to Oakley, capping a six-play, 75-yard drive to even the score.

On TCU's second play of the ensuing possession, Hoover's pass to Ed Small was ruled a backward pass. It was recovered by Wesley Fair at the TCU 15-yard line. Fair ran it in for a touchdown, giving K-State a 14-7 lead at the half.

TCU: The Horned Frogs waited too long to find their offense. They started each half with anemic offense before getting long drives started.

Kansas State: The Wildcats were opportunistic, scoring twice on defense and holding TCU to 1 of 4 on fourth down.

TCU returns home next Saturday for a morning game against Baylor, while Kansas State has a bye before its “Sunflower Showdown” game at Kansas Oct. 25.

After trailing by as many as five late in the first set, a pair of Gracie Rains kills and three Hornet miscues helped Fort Hays State score five in a row and tie things up at 18. The score remained level until it was 21-21 when ESU scored four of the last five to take the frame, 25-22.

The Tigers kept things close early in the second set, leading as late as 8-7, but Emporia State closed the frame on a 15-7 run to turn a 10-10 tie into a 25-17 win.

A kill from Ella Goodwin gave the Tigers their first lead of the set at 9-8. FHSU led by two as late as 16-14 before six-straight Hornet points gave the home team a 20-16 lead. Two kills from Rains and a successful challenge helped the Tigers narrow the deficit to a pair, 21-19, but the Hornets were able to close out the win with a 4-2 run to close the stanza.

Rains led the offensive efforts for Fort Hays State, recording 11 kills on 21 attempts with a .429 hitting percentage.

🏐 Tigers stumble at Emporia State

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.

🏈 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;

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.
