Fort Hays State at Kansas State Exhibition Monday, October 31, 2022 • 6:30 p.m. Manhattan, Kan. • Bramlage Coliseum Radio&nbsp;• KJLS (103.3)

<a href="https://radio.securenetsystems.net/cwa/KJLS">CLICK HERE TO LISTEN LIVE</a> Before opening the 53rd season in program history early next month, the Fort Hays State women's basketball team will play in one final tune-up game Monday evening when the Tigers travel to Manhattan, Kan. for an exhibition contest against Kansas State. First tip between the Tigers and Wildcats is slated for 6:30 p.m. inside Bramlage Coliseum. The game will be broadcast on the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.espn.com/watch/player/_/id/f5ee1ae7-94c6-4ec4-9ad7-2d07ecfe04df">ESPN+/Big XII NOW</a>&nbsp;streaming platform. Those with active ESPN+ subscriptions can watch the game at no additional cost, while others can sign up at a cost of $9.99 for a month-long subscription. The game is not included in subscriptions to The MIAA Network. Live audio from voice of the Tigers Gerard Wellbrock will also be available on KJLS 103.3 FM and streaming online at&nbsp;<a href="https://streamdb7web.securenetsystems.net/ce/kjls2/">hayspost.com</a>. The Tigers are coming off the fourth 30-win season in program history after winning both the MIAA regular season and conference tournament championships in 2021-22. The Tigers are trying to become the first team to win three consecutive regular season MIAA trophies since 2004-06 (Washburn). Fort Hays State returns eight student-athletes from last year's squad, including two All-MIAA performers in&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/katie-wagner/6848">Katie Wagner</a>&nbsp;(second team) and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/olivia-hollenbeck/6845">Olivia Hollenbeck</a>&nbsp;(2x honorable mention). Head coach&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/coaches/tony-hobson/1136">Tony Hobson</a>&nbsp;brought in six new players this season, including four transfers and two true freshmen. The Tigers are remarkably young on paper, with all but one player entering the season with at least three seasons of eligibility remaining. This year's team includes one graduate student, 11 players with a sophomore designation and two freshmen. While the roster looks young on paper, the Tigers bring in plenty of experience at the collegiate level. Eight of the 12 non-freshmen have played in at least two seasons of collegiate basketball, with those 12 veterans combining for 3,012 career points in 538 games played. Hobson enters his 15th season at Fort Hays State and his 31st season as a head coach at the collegiate level in 2022-23. He is 312-109 as a Tiger and 725-215 all-time. Hobson ranks third all-time amongst MIAA head coaches with 312 wins with the program. He ranks in the top 30 in win percentage amongst all active NCAA head coaches and in the top 10 in Division II. Hobson earned the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association Women's Four-Year College Coach of the Year award last season, his 19th career coach of the year award. The Tigers finished last season ranked seventh in the final WBCA Division II Coaches poll after reaching the Central Region championship game for the third time in school history. The Tigers also topped all DII in both GPA (3.814) and attendance (2,184 fans per game). FHSU was one of two schools to rank in the top 25 in all three end-of-season ranks (Ashland - 6th academic, 9th coaches poll, 11th attendance). This will be the seventh exhibition meeting between the Tigers and Wildcats, with all seven coming during the Hobson era. The teams last played in 2019, with K-State holding on to win 78-60 (11/1/19). Just two players remain on either roster from that contest in KSU's Ayoka Lee and Emilee Ebert. The teams were slated to play an exhibition inside Gross Memorial Coliseum to start the 2020 season before the game was canceled due to COVID protocol. The teams played 13 times in the early years of each program between 1969 and 1976, with K-State winning 11 of those matchups. The Tigers have never won in Manhattan, going 0-4 in the regular season and 0-6 in exhibition play. Fort Hays State last played on Halloween in 2010 in an exhibition game against Kansas. The Jayhawks came away with the victory in Lawrence, 83-62.&nbsp;Melissa Nelson led the team with 25 points and six rebounds.&nbsp; K-State reached the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament last season, defeating Washington State 50-40 before falling to NC State 89-57. The Wildcats ranked ninth in the country last year with 170 blocks and 20th in assist/turnover ratio at 1.21. Serena Sundell ranked second in the Big 12 and 23rd nationally with 5.3 assists per game last season. She was named to the preseason All-Big 12 team this season after earning a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman team and honorable mention All-Big 12 status a year ago. Jeff Mittie, father of former Tiger Madison Mittie, enters his ninth season with the Wildcats with a career record of 599-345 in 30 years as a head coach. After battling the Wildcats early in the week, Fort Hays State will take a few days to prep for the regular-season opener on Saturday (Nov. 5). The Tigers will head to Kansas City, Mo. and historic Municipal Auditorium, the annual site of the MIAA Championship Tournament, for the 2022 D2CCA Tip-Off Classic. FHSU will play West Texas A&amp;M, a national quarterfinalist from last season, on Saturday and Southern Nazarene on Sunday (Nov. 5), with both c&nbsp;&nbsp;

Treva L. McCandless, age 96, passed peacefully on Thursday, October 
27, 2022, at the Palisades at Broadmoor Park in Colorado Springs, 
Colorado with her daughter, son, and daughter-in-law at her side.&nbsp; Treva
 was born on September 29, 1926, in Emporia, Kansas, to Lyman Mallary and 
Arlene Loveland. &nbsp;

After graduating Emporia High School, Treva and three friends 
traveled to Wichita, having been recruited by Being in the War effort. 
She enjoyed telling of her time as a rivet chaser and typist at Boeing.

After Boeing, Treva worked at the Emporia Gazette where William Allen
 White was editor. Working as a proofreader, Treva had a sharp eye for 
errors, which continued through her life.

Treva attended Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia, and it was here where Treva met Robert McCandless, in Composition and Rhetoric class. 
Although Robert turned her down when Treva asked him for a date, he 
later asked her out, saying "do you remember?"

She certainly did. Robert and Treva were married in 1948.&nbsp; After 
marriage, Robert and Treva began farm life in Lebo, Kansas, and farmed 
until 1961, when they purchased the Airliner Motel in Scott City. Treva 
loved living in Scott City and belonging to the United Methodist Church 
where she made many friends in the Women's Society and was active 
helping with dinners and bazaars and attending Sunday School. Treva was 
also active in the High Plains Study Club, enjoying field trips, 
fellowship and coming up with the 'creative answers to be given during 
roll call.

After managing the Airliner Motel for 20 years, Robert and Treva retired in 1981.

They purchased a townhouse in Colorado Springs and took frequent get 
away trips to the mountains. Treva said they had the best of two worlds,
 watching grandchildren grow up in both Kansas and Colorado.

Following Robert's death in 2010, Treva remained in Scott City until 
2016 when she moved to Colorado Springs to be closer to her daughter and
 family. She lived at the Palisades retirement community until her 
passing.

Treva was a fierce Yahtzee player, an avid reader, and Jumble puzzle 
lover. Her more recent days were highlighted by watching Jeopardy and 
she was delighted if family members would sit and watch with her. She 
loved her family, praying for them each night and sharing wisdom with 
them during hard times.

Treva is survived by her son Mark (Suzanne), daughter Kim (Barry): six grandchildren, Leslie (Brad), Marie (Shawn), Laura, Hilary (Jake), Emily (Miles), 
and Thomas; and eight great-grandchildren, Mallory, Nate, Abby, Simon, 
Huxley, Asher, Theo, and Arthur.

Services are pending with Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home.

In Lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to United 
Methodist Church of Scott City in care of Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home,
 PO Box 553, Scott City, Kansas, 67871.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia resumed its blockade of Ukrainian ports on Sunday, cutting off urgently needed grain exports to hungry parts of the world in what U.S. President Joe Biden called a “really outrageous” act.

Biden warned that global hunger could increase because of Russia’s suspension of a U.N.-brokered deal to allow safe passage of ships carrying grain from Ukraine, one of the world's breadbaskets.

“It’s really outrageous,” Biden said Saturday in Wilmington, Delaware. “There’s no merit to what they’re doing. The U.N. negotiated that deal and that should be the end of it.”

Biden spoke hours after&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-europe-government-and-politics-3b563bd6f79f815c7e9f33505dd25334">Russia announced it would immediately halt participation</a>&nbsp;in the grain deal, alleging that Ukraine staged a drone attack Saturday against Russia’s Black Sea Fleet off the coast of occupied Crimea. Ukraine has denied the attack, saying that Russia mishandled its own weapons.

Ukraine's Infrastructure Ministry reported Sunday that 218 ships involved in grain exports have been blocked — 22 loaded and stuck at ports, 95 loaded and departed from ports, and 101 awaiting inspections.

One of the blocked ships, carrying 40,000 tons of wheat for Ethiopia under a U.N. aid program, could not leave Ukraine on Sunday as a result of Russia’s “blockage of the grain corridor,” Oleksandr Kubrakov, Ukraine’s minister of infrastructure, said on Twitter. The ship, Ikaria Angel, was stuck in the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk.

The Istanbul-based UN center coordinating the ship passages later said the Ikaria Angel was among six vessels that began moving out but hadn't yet entered a humanitarian corridor. The center reported on plans to move and inspect other ships on Monday but it wasn't clear whether Russia would agree.

The grain initiative — an example of rare wartime cooperation between Ukraine and Russia — has allowed more than 9 million tons of grain in 397 ships to safely leave Ukrainian ports since it was signed in July. U.N. chief António Guterres had urged Russia and Ukraine on Friday to renew the deal when it expires Nov. 19. The grain agreement has brought down global food prices about 15% from their peak in March, according to the U.N.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskky expressed outrage at Russia's decision. Referring to the Ikaria Angel, he said in his nightly video address Sunday, “This bulk ship with wheat for the U.N. food program and other vessels with agricultural products are forced to wait, because Russia is blackmailing the world with hunger.”

Two initiatives to revive the grain deal were reported Sunday.

Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar was in talks with his counterparts to “solve the problem and to continue the grain initiative,” his agency said, adding that no more grain ships would leave Ukraine but those already waiting near Istanbul would be inspected on Sunday or Monday.

At the United Nations in New York, Guterres delayed a trip by a day to engage in talks aimed at ending Russia’s suspension of the grain export deal. Russia also requested a meeting Monday of the U.N. Security Council to discuss the topic.

Analysts say Russia's withdrawal shows that it sees the grain deal as another way to pressure Ukraine.

“By leaving the deal now and putting the blame on Ukraine, it aims to slow Ukrainian attacks around the Black Sea,” said Mario Bikarski, a Economist Intelligence Unit analyst. Russia could be hoping that Ukraine’s Western allies might ask it to focus its forces elsewhere to save the grain deal, he said.

More conflicting details emerged Sunday about the alleged attack on Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

The city council of Mariupol, a Ukrainian port now controlled by Russia, claimed on Telegram that Ukrainian special services had destroyed at least three Russian warships near the city of Sevastopol on the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula.

But an adviser to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry claimed that the Russians' “careless handling of explosives” had caused blasts on four Russian warships. Anton Gerashchenko wrote on Telegram that the vessels included a frigate, a landing ship and a ship that carried cruise missiles.

Reports have surfaced for months of Ukrainian sabotage of Russian warplanes and ammunition depots on Crimea and Zelenskky has vowed repeatedly to recapture the strategic Black Sea peninsula that Russia annexed in 2014.

Russia's Defense Ministry claimed Sunday that one Ukrainian drone that reportedly attacked Sevastopol appeared to emanate from a civilian ship carrying agricultural products from Ukraine. The ministry claimed an inspection of the wreckage showed the drones used Canadian-made navigation and their launch point was the Ukrainian coast near the port of Odesa.

Independent verification of each side's claims was not possible.

Ukraine appears to have targeted the Black Sea Fleet and other Russian military infrastructure on Crimea — far from the front lines but a critical launching pad for attacks against Ukraine — since the spring, although it often doesn't confirm its responsibility.

On the battlefront, Russian missile attacks kept pounding key front-line hot spots in Ukraine. The Russians shelled seven Ukrainian regions over the past 24 hours, killing at least five civilians and wounding nine more, Ukraine’s presidential office said.

In the eastern Donetsk region, where the fighting is ongoing near the cities of Bakhmut and Avdiivka, eight cities and villages were shelled.

In areas that Ukraine has recaptured, residents are still recovering bodies of killed civilians, Donetsk Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said.

“Over the past 24 hours alone, in three de-occupied towns and villages, we found abandoned bodies of Ukrainian civilians,” Kyrylenko said.

Ukraine’s Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskiy said Sunday that Russian forces were mining territories they leave behind twice as densely as during the first months of the war.

Power outages were reported Sunday in the occupied Ukrainian city of Enerhodar, home to the closed Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Europe's largest. Ukrainian and Russian officials traded blame for the shelling that caused the blackout.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia resumed its blockade of Ukrainian ports on Sunday, cutting off urgently needed grain exports to hungry parts of the world in what U.S. President Joe Biden called a “really outrageous” act.Biden warned that global hunger could increase because of Russia’s suspension of a U.N.-brokered deal to allow safe passage of ships carrying grain from Ukraine, one of the world's breadbaskets.“It’s really outrageous,” Biden said Saturday in Wilmington, Delaware. “There’s no merit to what they’re doing. The U.N. negotiated that deal and that should be the end of it.”<div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Under the <a href="https://twitter.com/WFP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WFP</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/UN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@UN</a> the IKARIA ANGEL 🚢 loaded w/ 40 K tons of grain was supposed to leave the 🇺🇦 port today.

Ukraine has denied the attack, saying that Russia mishandled its own weapons.Ukraine's Infrastructure Ministry reported Sunday that 218 ships involved in grain exports have been blocked — 22 loaded and stuck at ports, 95 loaded and departed from ports, and 101 awaiting inspections.One of the blocked ships, carrying 40,000 tons of wheat for Ethiopia under a U.N. aid program, could not leave Ukraine on Sunday as a result of Russia’s “blockage of the grain corridor,” Oleksandr Kubrakov, Ukraine’s minister of infrastructure, said on Twitter. The ship, Ikaria Angel, was stuck in the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk.The Istanbul-based UN center coordinating the ship passages later said the Ikaria Angel was among six vessels that began moving out but hadn't yet entered a humanitarian corridor. The center reported on plans to move and inspect other ships on Monday but it wasn't clear whether Russia would agree.The grain initiative — an example of rare wartime cooperation between Ukraine and Russia — has allowed more than 9 million tons of grain in 397 ships to safely leave Ukrainian ports since it was signed in July.

LONDON (AP) — The Broncos offense has stalled all season so expectations were low when a punt left them on their 2-yard line, trailing the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.

Embattled quarterback Russell Wilson delivered a message in the huddle.

“I told the guys ’hey listen we’re going to go 98 yards right here. Believe in it,” Wilson said. “Every season I've ever played, you’ve got to catch momentum. There’s a moment in time where it clicks.”

Melvin Gordon scored on that drive early in the second half, and Latavius Murray took it in from 2 yards late in the fourth quarter to help the Broncos snap a four-game losing streak by beating the Jaguars 21-17 on Sunday.

Wilson led two go-ahead scoring drives in the second half on his return from a hamstring injury. He finished 18 for 30 for 252 yards with a touchdown and interception.

Wilson looked rusty early, but connected on a 47-yard completion to KJ Hamler after the Broncos fell behind 17-14 on Travis Etienne's 1-yard touchdown run with 3:54 to play. Wilson then scrambled for 10 yards on a third-and-5 to get to the Jacksonville 28.

The late score gave Murray a touchdown for two different teams this month in London. He ran for a score for New Orleans earlier in October at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Broncos (3-5) erased a 10-point deficit on Jerry Jeudy's 6-yard touchdown reception in the first half and Gordon's 1-yard run to complete the 98-yard scoring drive. On the long drive, Wilson connected three times with rookie tight end Greg Dulcich, including a 38-yard completion to the 1. Gordon then ran it in to give the Broncos a 14-10 lead.

Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett, who has come under criticism in his first year on the job, credited Wilson for shaking off the slow start.

“You learn a lot about a quarterback when they throw a pick,” Hackett said. “He got it out of the way early. He was able to rebound and come back.”

The announced attendance of 86,215 is the largest crowd in the history of NFL international games.

The Jaguars (2-6) lost their fifth consecutive game despite a career day from Etienne, who carried 24 times for 156 yards and a touchdown.

Etienne scored on a 1-yard plunge to give Jacksonville a 17-14 lead with 3:54 to play.

After Murray's touchdown with 1:43 remaining, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw an interception to K'Waun Williams at the Jacksonville 35.

Lawrence had a costly red zone interception on a first-and-goal from the 1 in the first half. Lawrence was 18 for 31 for 133 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

“I’ve got to look in the mirror. I’ve got to play better,” Lawrence said.

Jags coach Doug Pederson said he didn't regret calling the pass near the goal line.

“It’s a relatively safe play. If it’s not there, and Trevor knows this, just throw the ball (away), just sail the ball and you’ve got two to three more downs to do whatever you want to do there.”

Wilson missed last week's game because of a strained hamstring and threw an interception on his second pass.

The Broncos didn't get their first first down until almost midway through the second quarter.

The Jags had opened the scoring when Lawrence found Evan Engram for a 22-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter.

The Jags had another costly red zone turnover for the second consecutive week. Last week, Etienne fumbled into the end zone in the 23-17 loss to the New York Giants. It was Lawrence's turn this week. Broncos safety Justin Simmons reached up and snatched the ball out of the air at the goal line with Jacksonville leading 7-0.

“I saw him rolling out. I’m hoping maybe there's a chance I can bat the ball,” Simmons said, doing even better by pulling the ball down for a crucial turnover.

The Broncos amassed 10 penalties for 71 yards in the first half, handing the Jags extra opportunities on offense. Simmons was whistled for taunting after a tackle on JaMycal Hasty but later in the drive he intercepted Lawrence for a touchback. The Broncos finished with 12 penalties for 81 yards.

“We’ve got to get that out of the game. We can’t do that,” Hackett said.

Jaguars return specialist Jamal Agnew was inactive for a second week in a row because of a knee injury. Jags safety Rayshawn Jenkins stayed down after tackling Jeudy in second quarter. Broncos center Lloyd Cushenberry III (hip) went down on Denver's final drive of first half and was ruled out. Graham Glasgow replaced him.

Broncos: Bye week and then at Tennessee on Nov. 13.

Jaguars: Host the Las Vegas Raiders next Sunday. They're at Kansas City the following week before their bye.
