INDIANAPOLIS - Fort Hays State's&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-cross-country/roster/emily-diercks/8438">Emily Diercks</a>&nbsp;earned an automatic qualifier spot to compete in the 2024 NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships, held next Saturday (Nov. 23) beginning at 1:15 p.m. (11:15 a.m. PT) at the Arcade Creek Cross Country Course in Sacramento, Calif.

Diercks secured her trip to the national meet with a seventh-place finish at this weekend's&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/news/2024/11/9/womens-cross-country-women-sixth-at-cross-country-regionals-diercks-named-all-region.aspx">Central Region Championships</a>, where she was the second-highest finishing individual not on an advancing team with a time of 21:12.7.The Hoxie, Kan. native is no stranger to national championship events after competing in two NJCAA Cross Country national meets and three NJCAA track national events during her time at Colby CC. Diercks was a cross country All-American after finishing sixth as a sophomore in 2022, while she placed 51st as a freshman in 2021. She went on to earn numerous All-American trophies in track, including winning the 2023 NJCAA Indoor 3,000m national title.

Diercks has had a stellar junior campaign, finishing in the top seven at all five races in which she finished including a pair of victories. She was the MIAA individual champion and was an All-Region selection, placing behind only six DII runners all season.

This is the fourth-straight season the Tigers have sent an individual to the national race and the ninth time out of the last 12 DII national championships that have had some sort of Tiger representation.

The top three teams from each of eight regions earn automatic bids as a team, with 10 more teams nationwide being selected on an at-large basis. A total of five teams were chosen from the Central Region, with the Tigers being the top-finishing team to not earn a bid.

Augustana, Pittsburg State, Rogers State, U-Mary and Winona State will all compete as a team, while Diercks will be joined by three other individuals from the Central Region - Ella Buhlke from Nebraska-Kearney, Franny Seidel from Minnesota Duluth and Sophia Strange from Oklahoma Baptist. A total of 34 teams and 26 individuals will run in the national championships.&nbsp;&nbsp;

🏃‍♀️ FHSU's Diercks picked to run at National Championship

INDIANAPOLIS – In the final edition of NCAA regional rankings released on Monday, Fort Hays State has surged into the Super Region 3 Top 10 rankings at No. 8 going into its final regular season game. The Tigers were not listed in the first two editions of the rankings, but a big win over Emporia State on November 2 and other results the past two weeks have got the Tigers right on the edge of potentially getting into the NCAA Playoffs.

Fort Hays State goes on the road to Nebraska-Kearney this Saturday to wrap the 2024 regular season. The Tigers need a win on Saturday and then potentially need help elsewhere or to have some mathematical formulas break their way to jump up among the seven teams selected to compete in the NCAA Playoffs from Super Region 3.

While sitting idle for a week, Fort Hays State vaulted past three schools to the No. 8 spot this week in comparison to the November 4 edition of the region rankings. In the last region ranking release, Emporia State was No. 7, Saginaw Valley State was No. 8, and Southern Arkansas was No. 10. The Tigers jumped past all three of those schools this week to No. 8, while last week's No. 9 ranked University of Indianapolis moved up to No. 7 this week.

The top seven teams in Super Region 3 will be selected to compete in the NCAA Playoffs. The Super Region 3 Top 7 for November 11, 2024 consists of two schools from the GLIAC (Ferris State and Grand Valley State), two schools from the MIAA (Pittsburg State and Central Oklahoma), two schools from the GAC (Ouachita Baptist and Harding), and one school from the GLVC (Indianapolis).

NCAA Super Region 3 Rankings for November 11, 2024 Rank - Team - Conference - Overall D2 Record - In-Region D2 Record 1 - Ferris State - GLIAC - 9-1 - 8-1 2 - Grand Valley State - GLIAC - 8-1 - 6-1 3 - Pittsburg State - MIAA - 7-2 - 7-2 4 - Central Oklahoma - MIAA - 8-1 - 8-1 5 - Ouachita Baptist - GAC - 9-1 - 9-1 6 - Harding - GAC - 9-1 - 9-1 7 - UIndy - GLVC - 9-1 - 9-1 8 - Fort Hays State - MIAA - 7-3 - 6-3 9 - Central Missouri - MIAA - 7-3 - 7-3 10 - Saginaw Valley State - GLIAC - 7-3 - 7-3&nbsp;&nbsp;

⚽ FHSU men to play Rogers State in GAC Tournament semifinals

LAWRENCE, Kan.&nbsp;– After extending his own school record in Kansas' 45-36 win over No. 17 Iowa State, senior cornerback&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/football/roster/mello-dotson/1352">Mello Dotson</a>&nbsp;has been named the Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Week. The conference announced the weekly honors on Monday.

Dotson was KU's highest graded defensive player against Iowa State, receiving an 85.1 grade from Pro Football Focus (PFF). Statistically, he recorded one solo tackle and one pass breakup, and his interception with 5:58 to play sealed the victory after he returned it 25 yards for a touchdown, putting Kansas up 45-28 at the time.

The interception was historic for Dotson as it extended his own school record as his fourth career interception returned for a touchdown, which is also tops among all active FBS players. It was the fourth interception for Dotson this season, which is tied for the Big 12 lead, and the 11th of his career, which is tied for No. 4 in school history.

This is the first career Big 12 weekly honor for Dotson, who joins KU's other senior cornerback,&nbsp;<a href="https://kuathletics.com/sports/football/roster/cobee-bryant/1350">Cobee Bryant</a>, in receiving conference recognition this season. Bryant was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 21 after tying the single-game school record with three interceptions in KU's 42-14 victory over Houston.

Kansas returns to action on Saturday, Nov. 16, traveling to Provo, Utah for the first time to face No. 7 BYU, who will be the third-straight ranked opponent for the Jayhawks. Kickoff from LaVell Edwards Stadium is set for 9:15 p.m. CT and the game will be televised on ESPN.&nbsp;&nbsp;

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have won just about every way imaginable during a perfect 15-game run that dates to last season: Patrick Mahomes leading last-second touchdown drives, their defense making a stand, and Harrison Butker kicking game-winning field goals.

They added a walk-off block to the list against the Broncos on Sunday.

<a href="https://x.com/NFL/status/1855715685764407408">Leo Chenal was part of a red wave</a>&nbsp;that crashed through the center of the Denver field goal unit, and the Chiefs linebacker got his hand on Wil Lutz's 35-yard attempt as time expired, allowing Kansas City&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/sports/denver-broncos-kansas-city-chiefs-e0c70031bac895819e5b83d347f168ba">to escape with a 16-14 victory</a>.

“It's a complete shock, you know? Not much I can say about it," Chenal said. “I was really praying for something to happen. That moment is so heavy. There's a second on the clock, they're going to kick a field goal and you feel the weight of the moment.”

Chiefs coach Andy Reid indicated they took advantage of something they had seen in the Broncos' field-goal operation.

“We did,” Reid said, “but it's also something we work on like crazy. It normally doesn't work quite like that one.”

The Chiefs had taken the lead on Butker's field goal with 5:57 remaining, but Bo Nix and the Broncos converted a trio of third downs while marching right back down the field. They proceeded to set up Lutz for the winner, but Chenal came up the middle amid a big push by the Kansas City defensive line to get his hand on the kick.

The ball squibbed away toward the Denver sideline as the Chiefs rushed onto the field to celebrate.

“I felt like we outplayed them but we didn't finish,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said. “That one will take a while. It'll sting.”

Mahomes finished with 266 yards passing and a touchdown for the Chiefs, who became only the fifth Super Bowl champion to win its first nine games the next season. That also matches the best start to a season in franchise history, and their 15-game win streak dating to last season is the longest in the NFL since the Packers won 19 in a row from 2010-11.

Travis Kelce had eight catches for 64 yards and a touchdown for Kansas City. DeAndre Hopkins caught four passes for 56 yards, and Kareem Hunt was held to 35 yards rushing but also caught seven passes for 65 yards.

“Any way you win is good in this league,” Mahomes said. “You live for these moments. When you grow up playing football, you live for the walk-off whatever-it-is. And I'm glad we get to experience it together.”

Nix finished with 215 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Broncos (5-5). Courtland Sutton had six catches for 60 yards and a score. And their 13-yard hookup on third-and-6 with 1:45 left is what gave&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/NFL/status/1855715047949193510">Denver a chance to kick as time expired</a>.

“They just made one extra play. When we thought it was in our hands, it wasn't,” Nix said. “It's tough. And again, it's two good football teams out there playing against each other, and one day it will go our way.”

The Broncos stunned the Chiefs a year ago, forcing five turnovers in a 21-9 win at Denver that ended a 16-game losing streak in the series. And they clearly had the same intention in mind as the AFC West rivals met again Sunday.

Their defense harassed Mahomes throughout the first half, particularly when an injury to Wanya Morris forced rookie left tackle Kingsley Suamataia into the game. And the Broncos capitalized on offense with two long scoring drives, the first ending with Nix finding Devaughn Vele wide open and the second with Sutton's 32-yard TD catch for a 14-3 lead.

It was Mahomes who got the Chiefs on track, going 7 for 7 for 62 yards on the ensuing drive. When it looked as if it had stalled at the Denver 2, Reid went against his conservative nature on fourth down, and Mahomes hit Kelce for the score.

The Chiefs still trailed 14-10 at the break, meaning they had Denver right where they wanted them.

Unflappable in winning its last eight games when trailing in the second half, Kansas City closed within 14-13 on Butker's chip-shot field goal late in the third quarter. The Chiefs defense then forced back-to-back punts, and Mahomes and the offense drove to the Denver 2, where Butker added the go-ahead kick with just under six minutes remaining.

Plenty of time for the Broncos to drive down the field. Not enough time for them to win.

“I told our team I was proud of the way they fought. I thought we outplayed them," Payton said. “But nonetheless, you have to beat a champion and we weren't able to do it, so obviously gut-wrenching.”

Taylor Swift was back at Arrowhead Stadium to watch Kelce and the Chiefs just&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/chiefs-taylor-swift-kansas-city-1aca48cb971d6d232186c5d73a2c4244">six days after turning up</a>&nbsp;to see their win over Tampa Bay on Monday night. The pop superstar resumes her Eras Tour on Thursday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Chiefs: Morris hurt his knee in the first half but returned early in the fourth quarter.

When it looked as if it had stalled at the Denver 2, Reid went against his conservative nature on fourth down, and Mahomes hit Kelce for the score.The Chiefs still trailed 14-10 at the break, meaning they had Denver right where they wanted them.Unflappable in winning its last eight games when trailing in the second half, Kansas City closed within 14-13 on Butker's chip-shot field goal late in the third quarter. The Chiefs defense then forced back-to-back punts, and Mahomes and the offense drove to the Denver 2, where Butker added the go-ahead kick with just under six minutes remaining.Plenty of time for the Broncos to drive down the field. Not enough time for them to win.“I told our team I was proud of the way they fought. I thought we outplayed them," Payton said. “But nonetheless, you have to beat a champion and we weren't able to do it, so obviously gut-wrenching.”<h2>Swift returns</h2>Taylor Swift was back at Arrowhead Stadium to watch Kelce and the Chiefs just&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/chiefs-taylor-swift-kansas-city-1aca48cb971d6d232186c5d73a2c4244">six days after turning up</a>&nbsp;to see their win over Tampa Bay on Monday night.

TOPEKA, Kan. – The Fort Hays State women's soccer team saw its 2024 season close on Sunday afternoon in a hard-fought 2-1 loss to Washburn in the MIAA Tournament Quarterfinals. The No. 1 seed and No. 16 nationally ranked Ichabods moved on to the semifinals, now at 14-3-2 overall. The No. 8 seeded Tigers wrapped the season at 7-8-4 overall.

The Ichabods never trailed in the contest, striking first in the 28th minute when Sam Searcey slotted home a goal inside the box off a well-placed crossing pass from Lindsey Maul. Washburn continued to apply pressure, outshooting the Tigers 9-1 in the first half throughout the first half. Tiger goalkeeper&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-soccer/roster/mackenzie-caldwell/8128">Mackenzie Caldwell</a>&nbsp;made four of her six crucial saves in the match before halftime.

The Ichabods doubled their lead in the 69th minute with a goal from Khloe Schuckman, assisted by Lakin Rold. Down 2-0, Fort Hays State continued to fight and finally broke through with a goal in the 84th&nbsp;minute. The Ichabods were unable to clear a ball in the box, which ricocheted perfectly off of a charging&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-soccer/roster/allison-worley/8102">Allison Worley</a>&nbsp;into the net in the 84th&nbsp;minute. However, it was the last shot for the Tigers in the match as the Ichabods held on for the win in the final six minutes.

Despite being outshot 18-4 in the match, the Tigers showed resilience weathering an offensive attack from Washburn, which included 15 corner kicks. Washburn goalkeeper, Alli Harrington, needed just one save to secure a win.

Though the Tigers came up short, the team battled through numerous injuries throughout the year to still secure a 10th-consecutive appearance in the MIAA Tournament. FHSU finished 1-1 against the 2023 national runner-up after defeating Washburn earlier during the regular season by a score of 2-1 in Hays.&nbsp;&nbsp;

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Devin Neal ran for 116 yards and two scores and became Kansas' all-time leader in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a 45-36 win over No. 17 Iowa State at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday.

Neal broke June Henley's rushing record with a 14-yard run on his first carry and now has 3,951. Neal's touchdown runs of 13 and 10 yards gave him 43, breaking Henley's mark of 41.

“I'm very happy for Devin and all of his teammates who have been part of this all the way through,” said Kansas coach Lance Leipold, wearing a T-shirt that read “REAL DE4L” representing Neal's No. 4 jersey. “It's because of the type of player he's been and the person he's been. He's humble and hard-working. I'm so happy he did it in front of our home fans in our home away from home this year.

"He's done so much for us on and off the field. He's done so much for us this season. He had another outstanding game today.”

Jalon Daniels finished 12 of 24 for 295 yards and two touchdowns for Kansas (3-6, 2-4 Big 12). None was bigger than a 70-yard strike to Luke Grimm on the second play after Iowa State drove 99 yards to take a 7-0 lead.

“That was a really good drive, an impressive drive for them to go 99 yards,” Leipold said. “It was like, ‘Oh, boy, they really found their stride.’

"For us to answer that quickly really kind of settled it back down and got it back to neutral. That was a big play.”

Daniels was just glad he didn't miss Grimm.

“That pass is not one we've hit a lot recently,” he said. “They took away my 1-, 2- and 3-progression and I saw Luke running across the middle. Sometimes the most wide-open throws are the hardest throws to make.”

Rocco Becht was 24 of 37 for 383 yards and three touchdowns for Iowa State (7-2, 4-2, No. 17 CFP), which has lost two straight after a 7-0 start.

Neal's second touchdown of the game put Kansas up 38-13 in the third quarter.

Carson Hansen scored a 13-yard touchdown for Iowa State to cut it to 38-20. Becht then found Jaylon Jackson for a 27-yard touchdown and Becht ran in the 2-point conversion to cut it to 38-28. Mello Dotson's 25-yard interception return for a touchdown for Kansas made it a 17-point game with 5:58 left.

The Jayhawks ran out the clock after Becht found Jaylin Noel for an 18-yard touchdown.

“We got an early lead and we just weren’t able to sustain it,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. “Our offense has to help out our defense at times. We’ve got to find a way. There’s no excuse. The reality is that nobody is going to feel sorry for us.”

Becht engineered a seven-play, 99-yard drive to open the scoring. Becht hit Noel on a 27-yard strike to finish it.

After Daniels' 70-yard pass to Grimm, Neal added a 13-yard touchdown run to give Kansas a lead it never relinquished.

“The best part was getting (the records) in a win,” Neal said. “That's a real good team over there. I was proud to be part of this team.”

Daniels found Quentin Skinner for a 24-yard touchdown to put the Jayhawks up 21-7.

Iowa State: The Cyclones still have a chance to play for the Big 12 title, but their margin for error is all but gone and they will need some help.

Kansas: The Jayhawks can go to a third straight bowl for the first time in program history if they win out. They still have to play BYU and Colorado, the two teams at the top of the standings.

Iowa State: host Cincinnati next Saturday.

🏈 Devin Neal sets KU career rushing records in victory over Iowa St.

MARSHALL, Minn. – Fort Hays State Men's Basketball took its second loss in as many days, falling to Concordia-St. Paul on Saturday. The Golden Bears had a balanced scoring effort from their starting five, winning by a score of 82-68 over the No. 16 ranked Tigers. CSP started its season 2-0, while FHSU moved to 0-2.

Fort Hays State held a 26-22 lead at the 8:49 mark of the first half before Concordia-St. Paul went on a 13-0 run to take a 35-26 advantage. FHSU closed back within one point shortly before halftime, but a 3-point field goal by CSP pushed the lead out to 44-40 at the break.

The Tigers chipped away early in the second half and got the lead down to one twice before momentarily taking a two-point lead (59-57) on a&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/kyle-grill/8223">Kyle Grill</a>&nbsp;3-point field goal at the 11:18 mark. However, CSP pulled back even and then used a 15-4 run to hold an 11-point lead with a little over four minutes to play. The Tigers cut the lead inside 10 only one time after the run.

<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/shaun-riley/8227">Shaun Riley</a>&nbsp;led the Tigers with a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/kaleb-hammeke/8224">Kaleb Hammeke</a>&nbsp;(12) and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/traejon-davis/8222">Traejon Davis</a>&nbsp;(11) also reached double figures in scoring for the Tigers.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/kyle-grill/8223">Kyle Grill</a>&nbsp;handed out a team-high five assists.

Marcus Skeete and Antwan Kimmons led the Golden Bears with 17 points each. Ben Kopetzki had 13 points, Ian Sluice had 12, and Cade Meyer added 11 points. Skeete and Kimmons nearly had double-doubles as both had nine rebounds. Kopetzki led CSP with four assists.

🏀 Golden Bears top No. 16 Tigers in Minnesota

Bobby Allison, founder of racing’s “Alabama Gang” and a NASCAR Hall of Famer, died Saturday. He was 86.

NASCAR released a statement from Allison’s family that said he died at home in Mooresville, North Carolina. A cause of death wasn’t given, but Allison had been in declining health for years.

Allison moved to fourth on NASCAR’s Cup Series victory list last month when chairman Jim France recognized him as the winner of the Meyers Brothers Memorial at Bowman Gray Stadium in North Carolina in 1971. The sanctioning body updated its record books to reflect the decision, giving Allison 85 wins and moving him out of a tie with Darrell Waltrip.

France and longtime NASCAR executive Mike Helton presented Allison with a plaque commemorating the victory. With it, Allison trails only fellow Hall of Famers Richard Petty (200), David Pearson (105) and Jeff Gordon (93) in Cup wins.

Allison was inducted into NASCAR’s second Hall of Fame class, in 2011. He was the 1983 NASCAR champion, finished second in the series title race five times, and a three-time winner of the Daytona 500.

“Bobby was the ultimate fan’s driver,” Allison’s family said in a statement. “He thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his fans and would stop to sign autographs and have conversations with them everywhere he went. He was a dedicated family man and friend, and a devout Catholic.”

He helped put NASCAR on the map with more than his driving. His infamous fight with Cale Yarborough in the closing laps of the 1979 Daytona 500 served as one of the sport’s defining moments.

“Cale went to beating on my fist with his nose,” Allison has said repeatedly, often using that phrase to describe the fight. “Cale understands like I do that it really was a benefit to the interest of racing. It proves that we were sincere.”

Born in Miami in 1937, Allison started searching for more racing opportunities outside the Sunshine State. He landed in central Alabama, where he found a number of small, dirt tracks.

He returned to Florida to get brother Donnie and close friend Red Farmer. They set up shop in Hueytown, Alabama, and dominated regional races throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. They were later joined in the Alabama Gang by Jimmy Mears, Neil Bonnett and Bonnett and Allison’s sons Davey and Clifford.

Allison retired in 1988 following a crash that nearly killed him. In June 1987, he wrecked on the opening lap at Talledega Superspeedway. He hit the outside wall and then got T-boned in the driver’s side door. He was initially declared dead upon reaching a local hospital but was later resuscitated.

He eventually regained his memory, re-learned everyday activities and attempted a comeback. But a series of tragedies led Allison to retire. His son, Clifford, was fatally injured during a crash in practice for the second-tier Busch Series at Michigan International Speedway in 1992. A year later, son Davey was killed in a helicopter crash at Talladega.

Three years after that, Bobby and wife Judy divorced. They reconnected four years later at their daughter-in-law’s wedding and were remarried in 2000. They remained together until Judy’s death in 2015.

Allison was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1992 and into the NASCAR Hall of Fame along with Ned Jarrett, Bud Moore, Pearson and Lee Petty.

“Bobby Allison personified the term ‘racer,’” France said in statement. “Though he is best known as one of the winningest drivers in NASCAR Cup Series history, his impact on the sport extends far beyond the record books.

Allison is one of 10 drivers to have won NASCAR’s career “grand slam” that includes the Cup Series’ most iconic races: the Daytona 500, the Winston 500, the Coca-Cola 600 and the Southern 500.

Allison made six IndyCar Series starts for Roger Penske, including a pair of Indy 500s.

His infamous fight with Cale Yarborough in the closing laps of the 1979 Daytona 500 served as one of the sport’s defining moments.“Cale went to beating on my fist with his nose,” Allison has said repeatedly, often using that phrase to describe the fight. “Cale understands like I do that it really was a benefit to the interest of racing. It proves that we were sincere.”Born in Miami in 1937, Allison started searching for more racing opportunities outside the Sunshine State. He landed in central Alabama, where he found a number of small, dirt tracks.He returned to Florida to get brother Donnie and close friend Red Farmer. They set up shop in Hueytown, Alabama, and dominated regional races throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. They were later joined in the Alabama Gang by Jimmy Mears, Neil Bonnett and Bonnett and Allison’s sons Davey and Clifford.Allison retired in 1988 following a crash that nearly killed him. In June 1987, he wrecked on the opening lap at Talledega Superspeedway. He hit the outside wall and then got T-boned in the driver’s side door. He was initially declared dead upon reaching a local hospital but was later resuscitated.He eventually regained his memory, re-learned everyday activities and attempted a comeback. But a series of tragedies led Allison to retire. His son, Clifford, was fatally injured during a crash in practice for the second-tier Busch Series at Michigan International Speedway in 1992. A year later, son Davey was killed in a helicopter crash at Talladega.Three years after that, Bobby and wife Judy divorced. They reconnected four years later at their daughter-in-law’s wedding and were remarried in 2000. They remained together until Judy’s death in 2015.ADVERTISEMENTAllison was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1992 and into the NASCAR Hall of Fame along with Ned Jarrett, Bud Moore, Pearson and Lee Petty.“Bobby Allison personified the term ‘racer,’” France said in statement. “Though he is best known as one of the winningest drivers in NASCAR Cup Series history, his impact on the sport extends far beyond the record books.Allison is one of 10 drivers to have won NASCAR’s career “grand slam” that includes the Cup Series’ most iconic races: the Daytona 500, the Winston 500, the Coca-Cola 600 and the Southern 500.Allison made six IndyCar Series starts for Roger Penske, including a pair of Indy 500s.<h2>___</h2>

🏈 Friday night high school scoreboard (Nov 8)

Through 87 meetings between Hays and Great Bend the two had never played against the other in postseason football. That all changed on rainy, cold Friday in Great Bend.

Hays never trailed in a 19-14 victory over the Panthers.

Each team punted on their first possession to open the game. Great Bend received great field position after the Hays punt. The drive was cut short on Cooper Lindenmeyer's second interception of the season. Hays used the momentum to go 14 plays that covered 75 yards for a touchdown.&nbsp;

Hays got onto the scoreboard with a 25 yard touchdown pass from Carter Graham to Johnny Cano. The Indians failed to convert on a two-point conversion try.

Hays increased the lead to 13-0 on an Ian McGuire 81 yard run in the second quarter. A Carson Moore extra point try went right through the uprights.

Great Bend put their best drive of the game together on the following possession. Daxon Minton found Jacob Hall for a 33 yard score. The extra point made it 13-7 with 7:43 remaining before halftime. Just before halftime the Panthers had a chance to take the lead but the Indians broke up a pass in the end zone.

Hays held the ball for 6:30 on the first drive of the second half but turned the ball over on downs after 13 plays. Great Bend threw their second interception of the game on the next drive. Caleb Thompson got his third pick of the year.&nbsp;

The Indians converted the turnover into points. Carter Graham punched in a two yard score for a 19-14 lead with :13 left in the third quarter. The two-point conversion failed.

Great Bend struck just three plays later. Minton ran for 65 yards. The extra point closed the score down to 19-14 with 11:07 left. Neither team scored rest of the way.&nbsp;

Both teams turned the ball over on downs. When the Panthers lost the ball on downs it was at the Hays 27 yard line with 4:00 left. Hays ended the game with a conversion on 4th and six and a 19-14 victory.

Hays ran for 305 yards and compiled 350 total yards. Great Bend was held to 216 total yards. The Indians improve to 6-4 and will plan in Hutchinson next week. Great Bend ends their season at 9-1.

🏈Hays continues season with postseason win at Great Bend

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Hunter Dickinson had 20 points and 10 rebounds for No. 1 Kansas, which blew a 20-point first-half lead against No. 9 North Carolina before holding on for a 92-89 victory when the Tar Heels’ Elliot Cadeau missed a 3-pointer as time expired Friday night.

Zeke Mayo had 21 points and KJ Adams Jr had 14 for the Jayhawks (2-0), who led 49-29 in the first half but trailed 87-83 with 3:28 to go. Dickinson and Mayo responded with a series of baskets to tie the game at 89, and Dickinson’s basket with 1:15 to go and free throw with 12 seconds remaining made it a three-point game.

The Tar Heels (1-1) raced up the floor, but Cadeau’s 3 from the wing was contested and never had a chance.

Seth Trimble scored 19 points to lead North Carolina. RJ Davis had 16 points and Cadeau finished with 12.

It was just the 13th matchup of the Tar Heels and Jayhawks, and first since Kansas rallied from a 16-point deficit to win the 2022 national championship. The only other time they have met on campus was in 1960, when Larry Brown — who would later coach the Jayhawks to the 1988 title — helped the Tar Heels win in Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas made a repeat seem unlikely when it built a 20-point first-half lead.

But the Tar Heels trimmed the deficit in the second half, and Jae'Lyn Withers' 3-pointer gave them an 80-79 lead with 7:06 to go. The two bluebloods wrestled it away several other times before Kansas finally put the game away.

North Carolina stayed alive by getting to the basket and drawing fouls, ultimately going 28 of 31 from the line. But the lack of production in the paint was a big problem.

Kansas avoided what would have been the biggest blown-lead loss in school history.

Dickinson's basket inside with 1:15 left gave Kansas the lead, and the All-American center's free throw forced North Carolina into needing a 3-pointer to tie the game.

20 — The lead that Kansas had in the first half. And that the Tar Heels overcame in the second.
