It wasn’t always pretty, especially at first, but Lawrence High’s football team eventually found a way to take control during its 52-21 win over Olathe Northwest on Friday night at LHS. And that is exactly what good teams do in those situations. The Lions, who were coming off a thrilling win over Gardner Edgerton, avoided any sort of letdown in their homecoming affair against the winless Ravens. LHS scored ...
Eudora’s football team earned its first win of the 2019 season in a weather-shortened affair. In a battle between two area teams, EHS took down Baldwin for a 34-12 home win. With the loss, the Bulldogs fall to 0-4 on the year. The Cardinals, who won just one game in 2018 in Sean Hayden’s first year at the helm, are now 1-3 halfway through the season.

Due to transportation issues, Bonner Springs showed up 16 minutes late Tuesday afternoon at the Youth Sports Complex. The visiting team was then given its own warmup time, meaning the match didn’t start until 37 minutes after it was originally scheduled to begin. In the end, the Seahawks still netted a 4-1 home win to improve ...
During KU’s 29-24 loss in the Big 12 opener, West Virginia essentially wrapped things up on its 81st offensive play of the afternoon. On third-and-5, WVU running back Martell Pettaway darted through the Kansas defense for a 7-yard touchdown run. Not a single KU player got a hand on Pettaway, who gave the Mountaineers a 29-17 advantage with 5:04 left in the game. True freshman linebacker Gavin Potter had a ...
