Aiming higher at Kapaun -
09/02/2010
The Kapaun Mount Carmel football team has been relatively successful since Dan Adelhardt took over in 2005. It's had five consecutive playoff appearances and four seasons with six or more wins. But a City League title and deep playoff runs have been elusive. Adelhardt says he finally has the pieces to field a squad with a legitimate chance of achieving those goals. Quarterback Keaton Lewis has the same feeling and knows a lot of what they do tonight at Northwest in the season opener will
determine the direction of the team. Read more
Kansas State football keeping it small -
09/02/2010
MANHATTAN — When Tramaine Thompson puts on a helmet, it's hard to tell him apart from Brandon Banks. At 5-foot-7, they are the same height. At 164 pounds, they are similar in weight. They even run routes the same way. Like Banks, a former wide receiver who led Kansas State in catches the past two seasons, Thompson relies on his quick feet
and reliable hands to make up for limited size. "Whether it's special teams or on the field, he's always making plays," cornerback David Garrett said after covering the redshirt freshman in practice. "He knows how to run routes and catch the ball. He's a younger Banks." Read more
Chiefs' Croyle looking to make up for lost practice time -
09/02/2010
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —If there was one play that showed Brodie Croyle was indeed back on the Chiefs practice field this week, it was the last one from a 2-minute drill. Croyle looked to his left, dragging defenders that way. He came back to the other side with a bullet to tight end Leonard Pope, who was standing in the end zone. He didn't look like a quarterback with a sore arm on that one. "Brodie's got a gun,'' Pope said. "That hasn't changed.'' Read more
Kansas faces daunting nonconference schedule -
09/02/2010
LAWRENCE — While his predecessor was able to take advantage of soft nonconference schedules to build early momentum for his program, Kansas coach Turner Gill will have no such luxury in place. In fact, Gill inherited by far the toughest September slate KU has faced in the last decade — the product of former coach Mark Mangino's growing interest in playing BCS opponents in nonconference play and a scheduling coincidence
that dropped the No. 16 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets into the Sept. 11 slot on this year's schedule. Six days later, the Jayhawks will play a night game in Hattiesburg, Miss., against traditional Conference USA power Southern Mississippi. Kansas' upping of the ante couldn't have come at a less opportune time. The Jayhawks haven't won a game since Oct. 10 after losing their last seven in 2009. They've got a new coach, a new quarterback and a host of questions to answer
— only minimal time to study up before being handed a test as tough as any Big 12 program other than Oklahoma (which plays Florida State, Air Force and Cincinnati). Read more

 Baseball in
Wichita
The art of baseball is evident at Wichita State
University’s Eck Stadium. The bronze sculpture, “Put Me in
Coach,” overlooks the stadium entry. Behind it a 70-foot mural, the
longest of its kind at any university ballpark, depicts WSU’s storied
baseball history. The art of baseball has also been evident on Wichita’s
playing fields for well over a century. During and after the Civil War,
baseball quickly spread across the nation. When Wichita was incorporated in
1870, the town and the game were ready for each other, and Wichita had its
first professional nine the following decade. Baseball in Wichita tells the
story of local baseball at all levels—amateur, collegiate and pro—in
words and images dating from the 19th century to the present day.
