HAYS, Kan. – Fort Hays State picked up its first regular season sweep of Northwest Missouri State since the 2012-13 season on Saturday (Jan. 18). The Tigers defeated the Bearcats 72-65 to improve to 12-4 overall and 5-2 in the MIAA. NWMSU fell to 4-13 overall and 2-6 in the MIAA. The win gave FHSU a perfect 3-0 homestand.

Even though Fort Hays State jumped out to a 10-point lead twice early on, starting the game on a 12-2 run, Northwest Missouri State would not go away throughout the afternoon. The Bearcats battled back to even with the Tigers on a 10-0 run after the Tigers led 14-4 and took three one-point leads in the opening half before FHSU eventually got back ahead and led 33-29 at halftime. A 7-0 burst by the Tigers took them from one point down to six up before the four-point advantage at the break.

A 7-0 run by the Tigers from the 15:16 to 13:46 marks in the second half pushed the Tiger lead back out to 10. Another 7-0 burst from the 7:41 to 6:07 marks took a six-point lead out to 13, the largest of the game, capped on a layup made by Traejon Davis.

The Tigers were up 12 with 4:11 to play, but a pair of quick 3-point field goals from Marcus Glock immediately brought the Bearcats back within striking distance with 3:00 to play. A pair of free throws 30 seconds later brought the lead down to just four. However, Davis had the big answer for FHSU by knocking down a corner 3-point field goal with 53 seconds to play, pushing the lead to seven and making it a three-possession game. Davis closed any further hope by making a pair of free throws with 16 seconds to play to produce the final margin of seven.

Davis finished with a season-high 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field. He was 2-of-3 beyond the 3-point line and his two free throws late were his only attempts at the stripe. Kaleb Hammeke&nbsp;added 16 points and a team-high four assists. Shaun Riley&nbsp;picked up his second double-double of the season with 15 points and a season-high 11 rebounds.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/kyle-grill/8223">Kyle Grill</a>&nbsp;also reached double figures in scoring with 10 points.

Glock led the Bearcats in scoring by going 5-of-8 beyond the 3-point line and 3-of-3 at the free-throw line for 18 points. Byron Alexander had a near-perfect shooting day for NWMSU going 4-of-4 from the field and 5-of-6 at the free-throw line for 14 points. Trey Moala also reached double figures with 11 points.

FHSU outscored NWMSU by 14 on field goals, but NWMSU had seven more free throws made. FHSU scored 38 of its 44 2-point shots inside the paint. FHSU finished at 47.5 percent from the field overall in the game, while holding NWMSU to 39.6 percent from the field.

The Tigers moved into a second-place tie with Northeastern State at 5-2 in MIAA play. Both are two games back of undefeated and No. 1 nationally ranked Washburn, which is 17-0 overall and 7-0 in MIAA play.

FHSU will be on the road for its next four games, starting with a trip to Oklahoma next week when it takes on Rogers State (Thur.) and Central Oklahoma (Sat.). It will be the only meeting of the regular season with both schools.

YORK, Neb. – Fort Hays State Women's Wrestling returned to action on Saturday (Jan. 18) at the York University Open.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/womens-wrestling/roster/piper-cadden/8210">Piper Cadden</a>&nbsp;claimed a tournament title at 131 in her first action this season after missing the first semester.

🤼‍♀️ Hays High girls' fourth at own Prairie Classic

MARSHALL, Minn. - The Fort Hays State men's wrestling team came out victorious in one of three matchups at the SMSU Duals on Saturday (Jan. 18). The Tigers opened the day with a 32-16 loss against Wisconsin-Eau Claire, the fifth-ranked team in Division III, before bouncing back in a 28-14 win against tournament host Southwest Minnesota State. FHSU then fell to Minot State on tiebreaker criteria, 22-21, in the finale.

Four Tigers went undefeated on the day, with&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/wrestling/roster/a-b-stokes/8307">A.B. Stokes</a>&nbsp;(125 pounds) and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/wrestling/roster/riah-ostrander/8302">Riah Ostrander</a>&nbsp;(285 pounds) both picking up a trio of wins.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/wrestling/roster/ryan-patterson/8305">Ryan Patterson</a>&nbsp;and 12th-ranked&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/wrestling/roster/tereus-henry/8295">Tereus Henry</a>&nbsp;combined for three wins at 197 pounds, with Patterson picking up a win in the first dual and Henry following with two wins.

Stokes opened the day with a 14-5 major decision before Wisconsin-Eau Claire took control with wins in six of the next seven bouts.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/wrestling/roster/marcell-dely/8293">Marcell Dely</a>&nbsp;broke up the run with a 6-3 decision at 157 pounds before&nbsp;Patterson took home a win via injury default at 197 pounds and Ostrander wrapped up the dual with a 5-1 decision.

Stokes added his second win of the day with an injury default in the first bout against Southwest Minnesota State before&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/wrestling/roster/andrew-honas/8314">Andrew Honas</a>&nbsp;recorded a first-period pin to double the lead to 12-0. The Mustangs won the next three to close within 12-11, but Fort Hays State picked up wins in four of the last five matchups to secure the win.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/wrestling/roster/jacob-judd/8315">Jacob Judd</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/wrestling/roster/connor-padgett/8304">Connor Padgett</a>&nbsp;opened the run with back-to-back major decisions, while Henry and Ostrander finished things off with a 15-0 technical fall and a 4-0 decision, respectively.

Stokes opened the dual against Minot State with a dominant 15-0 technical fall, but the Beavers were then able to win the next four bouts to take a sizable 18-5 lead. With the Beavers open at 285 and the score essentially 18-11, Fort Hays State took three of the next four bouts to claw back. Judd secured his second victory of the day with an 8-3 decision before MSU bounced back with a tiebreak win.&nbsp;<a href="https://fhsuathletics.com/sports/wrestling/roster/matthew-rodriguez/8306">Matthew Rodriguez</a>&nbsp;followed with a 12-0 major decision at 185 pounds to put the Tigers effectively within 21-18.

The Tigers (14-2, 5-2 MIAA) hit 53.8 percent from the floor in the win, their highest shooting percentage against a Division II team this season. The win is Fort Hays State's fourth conference victory by at least 20 points this season.

The teams battled back-and-forth throughout the first quarter, with the lead changing hands five times alongside five ties. The Bearcats led by as many as four midway through the frame before the Tigers closed the quarter on a 9-3 run, taking the lead for good.

Fort Hays State started to pull away in the second quarter after outscoring the Bearcats 26-11 in the frame. The Tigers hit a blistering 63.3 percent from the floor in the opening half (19-of-30), including a run of eight-straight made field goals over a five-minute stretch that pushed the lead to 15. Talexa Weeter&nbsp;hit four shots during the run, while Katie DeGarmo&nbsp;added seven points. DeGarmo later scored the final three points of the half, giving FHSU a 47-30 lead at halftime.

A layup from Olivia Hollenbeck&nbsp;and five points from Kate Dilsaver&nbsp;helped the Tigers push the lead to 24 early in the third quarter, 54-30. Dilsaver continued to impress throughout the frame, with the senior totaling 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting in the third quarter alone.

The Bearcats responded with a 9-0 run over the heart of the third quarter to close within 15 before the Tigers scored nine in a row themselves to push the lead back to 24.

Fort Hays State continued to add to its lead in the fourth quarter, scoring 14-straight points after forcing the Bearcats into seven-consecutive misses and two turnovers. Bailey Wilborn's&nbsp;second basket of the day put the Tigers up by as many as 32 with 3:23 to play.

Five Tigers scored in double figures for the fourth time this season, including a team-high 15 points from both DeGarmo and Weeter. Hollenbeck and Dilsaver both contributed 14 points each, while Brooke Loewe&nbsp;totaled 13 points and added 11 assists for her third double-double of the year.

Fort Hays State turned the ball over a season-low five times, the lowest total for the Tigers in nearly two years (three turnovers at Nebraska-Kearney, 2/25/23). The Tigers outrebounded Northwest by 11, 42-31, and doubled them up in scoring in the paint, 44-22.

Now with 1,670 career points, Hollenbeck moved into fifth place on the all-time scoring list at Fort Hays State, moving past Petrece Faulkner (1,657 points, 1989-93).

The Tigers will now hit the road for a four-game road trip beginning Thursday (Jan. 23) when they take on Rogers State beginning at 5:30 p.m. in Claremore, Okla.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Fort Hays State Men's Basketball wraps up a three-game homestand on Saturday when it plays host to Northwest Missouri State. Tipoff for the second meeting between the teams this season is set for 4 p.m. The Tigers enter at 11-4 overall, 4-2 in the MIAA, while the Bearcats are 4-12 overall and 2-5 in the MIAA.

Fort Hays State won the first meeting of the season with Northwest Missouri State by a score of 58-39 in Maryville. It was the first win for FHSU in Maryville since the 2012-13 season, snapping an eight-game win string by the Bearcats on their home floor against the Tigers. The Tigers have a chance for their first regular season sweep of the Bearcats in conference play since the 2012-13 season. FHSU has won two of the last three meetings overall with NWMSU and won 57-49 last year in Hays.

The Tigers are coming off a 61-50 win over Missouri Western in Hays on Thursday night. The Tigers have held the opposition to 50 points or less in five of their last six games, going back to December 20. In the process the Tigers took over the national lead in scoring defense following their 69-44 win over Emporia State on January 9. They continue to lead that category, now at 58.0 points allowed per game this season.

The Bearcats are coming off a 74-69 loss at Nebraska-Kearney on Thursday night. The Bearcats have lost five of their last six games, with the lone win a one-point decision over Central Missouri in Warrensburg on January 9. Northwest Missouri State is 3-3 so far this year in true road games, but are just 1-9 in home and neutral games combined this year.

Kaleb Hammeke&nbsp;reached another major milestone on Thursday night in the win over Missouri Western. He is now the only player in program history to have the combination of 500 assists and 500 rebounds in a career. Hammeke is the only active NCAA Division II player to have 1,500 points, 500 assists, and 500 rebounds in a career. He is one of only five active players at all NCAA levels to accomplish the feat in the three categories. The other four are NCAA Division I players, which includes Mark Sears of Alabama, RJ Davis of North Carolina, Caleb Love of Arizona, and Dayvion McKnight of Xavier. Hammeke and Davis are the only two of the group who have done it at one school.

Hammeke continues to lead the team at 15.1 points per game and 4.7 assists per game. Kyle Grill&nbsp;ranks second on the team in scoring at 12.0 points per game. Shaun Riley&nbsp;is the top rebounder at 6.6 per game and adds 10.2 points per game. Hammeke has scored in double figures in all 15 games so far this season and 102 times overall in his career. He is on the verge of recording three or more assists in a game 100 times in his career, currently with 99 occurrences.

Emorie Knox leads the Bearcats in scoring at 13.2 points per game, while Spencer Schomers adds 10.1 per game but has not played in the last eight games due to an injury. Knox had 10 points in the first meeting with FHSU this season.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Katie DeGarmo&nbsp;is closing in on a pair of milestones. The graduate student needs 35 rebounds to tie Kate Lehman for the school record in rebounds (1,109 career boards). She is also just 32 points away from becoming the second player in school history to score 2,000 career points.

Three items related to progress in the Tallgrass Housing 4th Addition near 22nd and Wheatland in east Hays were presented at Thursday's Hays City Commission work session.

The developer, Grow Hays/Heart of America Development Corporation, included a rezoning request from agriculture and residential general districts to residential multi-family.

The designation request, already unanimously approved by the Hays Planning Commission, would&nbsp;offer the developer more housing-type options and flexibility, including higher-density residential uses.&nbsp;

"The primary objective is to allow for the higher density with smaller setbacks," said Jesse Rohr, public works director.

The final plat contains 101 lots covering the area north of Phases 1-3 and continuing north to Interstate 70. 

Phases 1-3 have a total of 65 lots. Each of the houses was sold before it was completed, said Doug Williams, Grow Hays executive director.

He expects the new 22-acre area to be just as popular with new homeowners.

 "If this has ever been done in our community at this scale, it's been 60 years," Williams said. "It's all similar to what was done in the first three phases, similar lot sizes and price points.

"Heart of America has been willing to step up to the plate and do this all at on time. They know costs are going to be higher later than what costs are now."

Sloan Engineering and Consulting, Hays, has prepared a $249,850 contract for engineering services for the addition, which has about 4,500 feet of water line, sanitary sewer and street improvements.&nbsp;

Rohr presented an award for 32nd/33rd Street reconstruction from Willow to Vine.&nbsp;

"This has been on our capital improvement plan for some time. ... There's a lot of deterioration," Rohr said. The street section was built in the mid-1960s.

Vogts-Parga Construction, Moundridge, submitted the lowest bid for the project, $1.55 million, which is about $245,000 below budget.

The project includes removing and replacing all the concrete pavement, various areas of curb and gutter, select areas of sidewalk and curb ramps to meet ADA requirements, intersections, and some alley entrances. The north intersection of Skyline and 33rd Street will be widened.&nbsp;

Also under consideration is a construction engineering services agreement with Driggs Design Group, Hays, for $52,320.

The section of street is a minor urban arterial road and carries about 3,500 vehicles per day. 

Rohr said those figures were from 2021. Mayor Sandy Jacobs said she expects the traffic count is down since the extension of&nbsp;nearby 37th Street.&nbsp;

Rohr told commissioners one lane would remain open during the reconstruction except when intersections are worked on.

Affected property owners will be notified of the project, and a public informational meeting will be conducted in February.&nbsp;

Commissioners also discussed BEREXCO, LLC's request to annex its 5-acre front lot at 800A Commerce Parkway. The remainder of the lot to the east would remain in the county.&nbsp;

"The owner is looking to the city for more reliable sanitary sewer," Rohr said.&nbsp;

The business is the Hays branch of an independent oil and gas exploration and production company.&nbsp;City utilities are available for connection with water and sewer running adjacent to Commerce Parkway.&nbsp;

Commissioners moved all items forward for a vote at their Jan. 23 meeting.

MANHATTAN — Farmers and ranchers from across Kansas gathered in Manhattan Jan. 10-12 for the annual Young Farmers and Ranchers (YF&amp;R) leaders conference. 

Nearly 500 attended the three-day Kansas Farm Bureau conference designed to provide educational and networking opportunities for young growers in Kansas. 

The conference provided farmers and ranchers between the ages of 18-35 with agricultural education, motivational speakers and opportunities to connect with industry resources and network with peers. 

Attendees heard from Jordy Nelson, a former K-State star receiver and Super Bowl XLV champion with the Green Bay Packers, and Dan Thomson, a feedlot veterinarian and CEO of Production Animal Consultation who founded “Doc Talk” on RFD TV. 

State committee members from each of the 10 Kansas Farm Bureau districts planned and hosted the conference, which included workshops, speakers, tours and competitions. The YF&amp;R state committee played an integral part in making this year’s conference a success.

Winners of the conference competitions include the following:

· Ag Quiz Bowl – Laine Schmalzried, Aidan Yoho, Grant Hervey and Mason Fink, Kansas State University

· Collegiate Discussion Meet – Abby Graham, Fort Hays State University

· YF&amp;R Discussion Meet – Lindy McMillen, Lane County

· YF&amp;R of the Year – Jacquelyne Leffler, Lyon County

Graham received $500 and an expense-paid trip to the 2025 American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) YF&amp;R Leadership Conference in Denver, Colo. McMillen and Leffler each received $700 and will represent Kansas in their respective competitions at the 2026 AFBF Annual Convention in Anaheim, Calif. 

Destiny Johnson, Stafford County, received the inaugural Rural Minds Matter Young Advocate of the Year award for her work cultivating resilience and well-being among farmers, ranchers and rural communities.

Those attending from Ellis County were Geordan Hayden and Jacob Calloway. The Ellis County Farm Bureau also&nbsp;sponsored a large group of Collegiate Farm Bureau Students to attend the conference.
