The week: PyleâÂÂs been the focal point of the Cardinalsâ offense all season, and last week was no exception. The running back carried the ball 50 times for 252 yards in a 21-7 victory against Mill Valley for the district title last Thursday, and another 17 times for 101 yards and two touchdowns in a 21-14 win against Baldwin on Tuesday in the first round of the 4A playoffs.

Comment: âÂÂWe think AndrewâÂÂs a great back and weâÂÂre going to give hm the ball and see what he can do,â Cardinals coach Gregg Webb said. âÂÂHeâÂÂs our horse.âÂÂ

The week: OgleâÂÂs fourth-place finish at the 4A state cross country meet in Wamego last Saturday led the way for the Baldwin girlsâ team to snag its first-ever state title. Ogle, who covered the two-mile course in 12:12, knew before the race that sheâÂÂd have to lead the way, making the title that much sweeter.

Comment: âÂÂSomewhere along the way she was talking about being the first to win a state title,â Bulldogs coach Mike Spielman said. âÂÂShe just ran a great race. She did a great job as a leader. SheâÂÂs got a lot of experience running on that course.âÂÂ
