The Red Raven football program is feeling excitement after watching a former Raven reach the NFL over the weekend.

Zah Frazier was the fifth-round pick of the Chicago Bears out of the University of Texas San Antonio, but played two seasons with the Red Ravens before the FBS journey.

Athletic Director Bryce Saia says watching athletes achieve their dreams is one of the best parts of the job.

Frazier was recruited to CCC by then first-year defensive coordinator and now head coach Nick Dobler. Dobler says it's a full circle moment to see a player get to the mountain top.

Frazier was a standout playmaker on the Raven defense, forcing four turnovers and accounting for 48 tackles. Saia says that kind of ability can make an impact at any level.

The defensive back becomes the latest CCC alum to reach the pro ranks, building to the tradition of CCC football. Dobler says it's a testiment to what a player can do at the JUCO level.

Frazier will participate in rookie mini camp next month, and will aim to make the Bears' 53-man roster.

A former Coffeyville Community College football star is heading to the NFL, after being selected by the Chicago Bears.

Defensive back Zah Frazier was the fifth-round pick of Chicago on the final day of the 2025 NFL Draft on Saturday. Frazier spent two seasons with the Red Ravens, in the spring and fall of the COVID year, and spent the following three seasons with the Texas San Antonio Roadrunners.

Frazier says he has been through a lot, but it's prepared him for the moment.

Frazier was a star while at Coffeyville, finishing with 48 total tackles, three interceptions, and a forced fumble. He says the JUCO experience is one that builds character.

The former Red Raven will now battle for a roster spot, joining a Chicago secondary that ranked fourth in the NFL last season.

A former Top 30 prospect in Major League Baseball is finding his footing in the Royals' outfield.

Drew Waters was a second-round pick by Atlanta in 2017, and quickly became the organization's top prospect and the No. 26 prospect in baseball. He was traded to the Royals for a Competitive Balance pick in 2022.

Waters has struggled in his time in the majors over the last three seasons, but has found a groove as of late, hitting .280 with an .801 OPS, including .370 in the past eight games. He says the clubhouse has given him the comfort to make an impact.

Waters has been given the opportunity to play daily, after the team optioned MJ Melendez to the minor leagues. Waters says having consistent reps makes all the difference.

Waters and the Royals begin a series in Tampa Bay tonight against the Rays, with coverage beginning at 6 on the Mighty 690, KGGF.

The 2025 NFL Draft is in the rear view mirror, and the Kansas City Chiefs were able to add depth at a number of positions with their selections.

In the first round, KC selected offensive tackle Josh Simmons out of Ohio State, a potential Top 10 talent who fell due to a serious knee injury he suffered last season. Simmons still brings plenty of upside and is the potential left tackle of the future for the Chiefs.

On Day 2, Kansas City selected Tennesee defensive lineman Omarr Norman-Lott in the second round, Louisville edge rusher Ashton Gillotte in the third round, and California defensive back Nohl Williams in the third round. Norman-Lott brings nice size and versatility on the line, while Gillotte was a very productive pass rusher in college. Williams was a ball hawk in college, creating plenty of turnovers for the Golden Bears.

The final day of the draft saw the Chiefs select three more players; Utah State wide receiver Jalen Royals in the fourth round, Oregon linebacker Jeffrey Bassa in the fifth, and SMU running back Brashard Smith in the seventh. Royals was a consistent player who can get open all over the field, while Bassa is more of a project piece that brings promising athleticism and size, and Smith brings dynamic ability and big-play potential to the running back room.

The Kansas City Chiefs used their first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft to continue adding depth to the offensive line room.

Kansas City drafted offensive tackle Josh Simmons with the No. 32 overall pick, out of Ohio State University. Simmons is 6-foot-5 and 317 pounds, and spent three seasons as a starter, one at San Diego State before two with the Buckeyes.

Head Coach Andy Reid says Simmons is a guy that checks a lot of boxes.

The left tackle has received praise from NFL scouts about his athleticism and quickness, allowing him to stay in front of elite edge rushers with speed and power. Simmons says he knew Kansas City was interested early.

It is unknown if Simmons will participate in rookie mini camp due to recovery from a serious knee injury, but he is expected to be ready for training camp this summer.

Coffeyville was also able to make a meaningful addition locally, adding Neodesha guard Prayer Roebuck to the 2025 class. Turner says Roebuck has plenty of offensive potential, and will be a great piece.

CCC has also looked to the transfer portal for players with college experience that can help out. Turner says a few players that were nearly Ravens a few years ago are now heading back to Coffeyville.

The Lady Ravens will once again be seen as a KJCCC conference championship contender in the 2025-26 season.

Independence struck first in the second inning with one run off a Logan Sprague ground out scoring Kellen Lanning. In the bottom of the inning Coffeyville would tie things back up as Cooper Sprague would steal third and a throwing error to third base would allow him to score on the play.

Hershey's day would come to an end after 3 2/3 and with Indy threatening Haydn Main would get Coffeyville out of the inning. The Nado would take the 2-1 lead in the bottom of the fourth off a bases loaded single by Stephen Goff.

Mitchell ran for 963 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie in Kyle Shanahan's offense. He missed all of last season due to injury, but is currently fully healthy and will participate in offseason practices next month.

The 26-year old joins Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt on the roster, and will help to replace production lost by Samaje Perine, who signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency.

Red Raven baseball continues to have success at home this season, sweeping a Saturday doubleheader with Labette County to win the series.

Caleb Peek would come in and close the door in the seventh inning for a 2-1 win.

Game 2 was a back and forth affair, with each team having multiple leads throughout the day. CCC was able to re-take the lead in the seventh, on a two run single from Carson Miller.

Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has had another incident with the law.

Police were called to Hill's Miami residence Monday, responding to a domestic dispute between Hill and his wife. No charges have been filed at this time.

According to Sunny Isles Beach Police Department, the call came from Hill's mother-in-law, who told them Hill "was very agressive and impulsive" and that she was "afraid for her daughter."

This marks the third incident Hill has had with law enforcement since being traded to the Dolphins in 2022.

The Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference is officially losing a member, as the Hesston College Larks have been officially approved to join the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes (NAIA).

Hesston had been a member of the KJCCC since 2019, and announced late in 2023 that it would begin the transition to a four-year athletic model, also shifting academic focus to bachelor's degree offerings.

In the inaugural season in NAIA, Hesston will compete in the Continental Athletic Conference (CAC), a non-traditional conference that allows schools considered independent a path to postseason play. Hesston will join Haskell Indian Nations University as the second Kansas school in the CAC.

Hesston also joins the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) as a Division 1 member institution that offers athletic scholarships. Central Christian and Sterling College are the only other NCCAA D1 schools in Kansas.

A familiar face to Coffeyville Community College and the Jayhawk Conference is back, being named the new head volleyball coach at Labette Community College.

Deardin Kelley served as an assistant coach at Labette for two years, before spending two seasons as the head coach at Coffeyville. Kelley spent the past fall as the head coach at Division 2 William Jewell in Missouri.

Kelley says she is eager to be back in an environment she knows.

Kelley won 48 games in her two seasons in Coffeyville, establishing herself as one of the top young JUCO coaches in the state of Kansas. She says she's learned to be more relaxed with more experience.

Yeshiva University in New York City, an Orthodox Jewish school in upper Manhattan, had dropped 100 straight games dating back to February of 2022.

The Maccabees faced the Lehman Lightning in a Tuesday doubleheader, with Lehman College entering the game on a 42-game losing streak of their own. Lehman won the first game, 7-6 in extra innings, to snap their skid first.

Game 2, however, favored Yeshiva, who held on for a 9-5 win to earn their first ever win over Lehman, and their first win in over three years. Only two players on the Maccabees roster were on the field for the last team win.

Yeshiva's Noah Steinmetz closed out the victory, and is the younger brother of Diamondbacks top prospect Jacob Steinmetz.

Former Bartlesville High School coach Tommy DeSalme is heading back to the Jayhawk conference, this time with the Garden City Broncbusters.

DeSalme agreed to a deal to become the new head coach at Garden City, returning to the KJCCC just over a year after departing Hutchinson following three seasons. DeSalme says this was an opportunity to get back to what he loves.

Coach DeSalme is no stranger to the league, having coached at Independence, Cowley, and Hutchinson before the new opportunity with Garden. He says he is eager to rejoin the Jayhawk.

Garden City had highs and lows last season under interim coach Isiah Tisdale, who will stay on staff as the Associate Head Coach. DeSalme says the team will bring toughness and work ethic every night.

Field Kindley baseball's comback attempt falls just short as the Nado fall 9-6 against Labette County.

Jaxin Hershey would get the start for the Nado. The Grizzlies would get to him early scoring three in the first and adding another in the second. Hershey would settle in for the third and fourth inning holding Labette scoreless. Haydn Main would take the mound in the fifth giving up two runs in the inning with two more given up in the sixth.

Coffeyville falls to 3-2 on the season and 1-1 in league play. The Nado are back in action on the road taking on Independence tomorrow.

Fall sports season may still be months away, but the Red Raven volleyball program is hard at work, looking to take a leap forward next season.

Head Coach Kandi Midgett enters her second season as head coach, following a 9-25 initial campaign that saw impressive wins over Fort Scott, Independence, and Hesston. A combination of inexperience and lack of size in the middle led to inconsistency for the team in the landscape of the season.

Midgett says she targeted specific traits when recruiting future Ravens.

One of the major commits from this year's recruiting class is Neodesha's Prayer Roebuck, who is an all-state caliber volleyball and basketball player, and will be playing both sports for the Red Ravens. Midgett says she's excited to get Roebuck on campus.

Coffeyville will open the 2025 season with a non-conference tournament in Texas, with the full schedule to be released later this summer.

The Florida Gators have reached the top of the college basketball world for the first time since 2007, defeating the Houston Cougars 65-63 in the national championship game.

Florida struggled with the Houston defense early, trailing at halftime and facing a 12-point deficit early in the second half. However, through quality defense and opportune scoring, the Gators rallied to take the lead, and hang on for the third national title in program history.

The Gators had not reached the championship summit since winning back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007, led by former NBA star Joakim Noah. Houston is still searching for the first national championship in program history.

The Kansas Jayhawks received great news over the weekend, as one of their top young talents is leaving the transfer portal and returning to Lawrence.

Center Flory Bidunga has agreed to a new deal to return to the Jayhawks for his sophomore season, after averaging six points and five points per game in his freshman season. Bidunga is expected to take a larger role next season, with the graduation of Hunter Dickinson.

The 6-foot-9 freshman was a Top 10 player in the portal, and had interest from Auburn, Indiana, Duke, and Kentucky. He is a former McDonald's All-American and two-time Indiana state Player of the Year.

The announcement marks a rare instance where a player in the transfer portal returns to the original school, but the Jayhawks will use Bidunga as a feature piece as they look to get back on track in the 2025-26 season.

The mountain top of men's college basketball will be reached tonight, with the Houston Cougars battling the Florida Gators in the national championship game.

The Cougars were champions of the Big 12 conference, beating Duke, Purdue, Tennessee, and Gonzaga on their journey to San Antonio. Houston also showcases one of the top defenses in the country, playing with elite intensity and pressure.

ESPNs Seth Greenburg says the Cougar defense is a challenge for even the very best teams.

Coverage of tonight's national championship game begins tonight at 6 p.m. CT on the Mighty 690 KGGF.

A notable Kansas junior college coach is leaving Bartlesville High School after one season, to pursue a return to the JUCO ranks.

Former BHS basketball star Tommy DeSalme has stepped down as the Bruins head coach following one season, in which Bartlesville won three games with mostly freshmen and newcomers.

Bartlesville Athletic Director Thad Dilbeck says DeSalme was a great leader for the program.

It will be the third head coaching search for the Bruins in the past three seasons, a new development for a school that only had three head coaches since 2001. Dilbeck says the process of searching has already begun.

The next Bruins coach will have talent to work with, as BHS only graduates one senior in Nash Zervas. Dilbeck says he expects there to be plenty of interest.

KGGF will have more on this story as further details become available.

The conference championship defense begins for the Red Raven football program, with spring practices going on all month before the annual Spring Game.

The team will practice 12 times total in the month of April, after three practices in late March. Spring ball is an opportunity for both transfers and returners to make an early impression, before the high school recruits arrive on campus. Head Coach Nick Dobler says the opporutnity to stand out starts now.

The Ravens will be looking to replace many departing talents that were all-conference caliber players. Dobler says the program focused on building depth in the trenches.

The Red Ravens will also be hosting the annual Spring Game on April 25th at 7 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Stadium, with the game open to the public.

There are plenty of reasons to be excited about Kansas State football getting spring practices underway, but not everything is going according to plan.

Many college football programs are bracing for the House vs NCAA settlement case, which declares that teams can't have more than 105 players on their active rosters.

Head Coach Chris Klieman says the program will be having to cut back on the team's player pool.

Transfers and walk-ons will generally be the most impacted groups, battling for roster spots on teams that can no longer carry that many players. Klieman says it's an unfortunate feeling for the athletes that want to be Wildcats.

KSU has ten practices spread throughout the month of April, beginning tomorrow morning in Manhattan.

An incoming Kansas Jayhawk basketball player put on a show earlier this week, being named co-MVP in the McDonald's All-American Game in Brooklyn, New York.

Guard Darryn Peterson had 18 points and led the West team to a 105-92 victory over the East squad. Peterson is the 52nd Jayhawk commit to play in the game, and finished 7-for-14 shooting with seven rebounds and three steals.

Peterson says he's already been getting help from Jayhawks coach Bill Self.

Peterson is from Canton, Ohio, but played last season for Prolific Prep in Napa, California. He says he's eager to get to Lawrence and make an impact.

Peterson and Prolific Prep will be in action tonight in the Chipotle National Showcase, playing Long Island Lutheran, who are led by Syracuse commit Kiyan Anthony, son of NBA legend Carmelo Anthony.

An unfortunate ending to the Red Raven basketball season, which saw both teams miss out on the National Tournament, may soon be a different story.

The National Junior College Athletic Association will be meeting on April 14th with the Board of Regents Committee and Council to discuss potential changes in future seasons. One of the potential new business items includes a discussion to expand the National Tournament to 32 teams.

Both the Coffeyville men and women finished outside of the 24-team playoff following Region VI Tournament losses.

Additional items being discussed are a motion to permanently remove dunking during pre-game or halftime warmups, increasing the D1 rankings poll to 30 teams, and every Region using the same media time-out format.

Area rain showers have postponed one of the best rivalries in Southeast Kansas, as Neodesha and Fredonia will have to wait a little longer to determine who has bragging rights.

Both baseball and softball games scheduled for tonight have been postponed due to rain in the area, with makeup dates and location to be determined at a later time.

The games were originally moved to Neodesha yesterday, but field conditions became too poor to play.

Fredonia is 1-3 on the young season, and will travel to Neodesha on Monday, while the Bluestreaks are 2-2. On the softball field, the Yellow Jackets are 2-2, while the Blue Streaks are 0-4.

The NFL owners have reached decisions on a number of adjustments to active rules in the league.

The dynamic kickoff will remain in place, with the ball spot on touchbacks being now at the 35-yard line rather than the 30-yard line. The league debuted the kickoff last season, and saw 332 more kickoff returns, resulting in 59 big-play returns, the highest since the 2016 season.

The league also passed a proposal made by the Philadelphia Eagles that grants both teams the opportunity to have a possession in an overtime game. The playoff rules will translate to the regular season moving forward regarding OT possessions, with the only difference being regular season overtime being 10 minutes, while postseason overtime is continuous.

Finally, the league passed a proposal from the Competition Committee to expand instant replay's ability to advise on-field officials on specific aspects of a play, or address game administration issues when clear video evidence is present.

Kansas Jayhawk fans will have an opportunity to support the team as spring practice gets underway, with the program hosting a Fan Appreciation Day this weekend.

Beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, fans will have the opportunity to watch a two-hour practice at Murfin Family Practice Field, as the team continues preparation for the spring game later this month.

Additionally, the first 750 fans will receive the 2025 spring football poster, and there will be a family fun zone and autograph signing area on the east side of the practice field.

KU will also be opening the Kansas Football Preview Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for visitors to meet with members of the Sales and Service team regarding season ticket options or more information about the ongoing Gateway District project.

The Jayhawks have 15 practices scheduled for the month of April, with the annual Spring Showcase game to be a later date this month.

A familiar face in the Jayhawk conference will be leading a new program next season.

The Seward County Saints have named Austin Downing as their newest Men's Basketball coach, replacing Rylee Hernandez.

Downing spend the past three seasons as an assistant with the Barton Cougars, where he coached in two national tournaments, including being a integral part of the 2023-24 national championship team. The Cougars posted an 86-19 record and 59-15 league mark during Downing's time on staff.

Downing is an Atchison, Kansas native, and began his playing career at Neosho Community College, where he ranks Top 20 on the all-time scoring list. He would later play Division 2 at Quincy University and Emporia State, where he earned All-MIAA honors.

Seward County finished the season 3-26, with a 2-22 league record. The Saints ended the season on an 11-game losing streak, and failed to qualify for the Region VI Tournament.

Field Kindley baseball makes it three in a row with a double header sweep over Cherryvale, winning 13-3 in both games.

Jaxin Hershey took the mound in game one for Coffeyville. The Chargers were able to strike first scoring two runs in the first. The Nado would answer with three runs in the bottom of the inning, then added four more in the second and five in the fourth. After giving up two runs to start the game, Hershey would hold the Chargers scoreless in innings two, three and four. Cherryvale avoided the run rule by scoring one more off Hershey in the fifth. Haydn Main would steal home in the bottom of the fifth and secure the win for Coffeyville. Hershey struck out seven batters in four innings pitched.

Riley Robson got the start in game two for Coffeyville and again Cherryvale got things started with two runs in the first. Coffeyville tied things up with two of their own in the bottom of the first. The Nado took the lead with four more in the second, one in the third and six in the fourth. Cherryvale would add one in the fifth but it wasn't enough to avoid the run rule for the second straight game. Robson struck out six Chargers in four innings with only one earned run. He also drove in three runs.

The Nado improve to 3-1 on the season and are back in action on Thursday taking on Columbus on the road.

The Kansas City Chiefs continue to expand the brand to the international market, announcing marketing rights with three new foreign countries.

Kansas City announced an international commercialization and marketing rights deal with Ireland, Spain, and the United Kingdom, as part of the NFL's Global Markets Initiative. This deal now puts the Chiefs in seven international markets, joining Mexico, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt says "As the game grows globally, more and more fans from around the world are becoming a part of Chiefs Kingdom. Kansas City has certainly made a name for itself in the global sports landscape, and we are proud to showcase our town and our team on the international stage."

The new rights go into effect today, and allow the organization to begin running marketing events in the new countries, such as hosting events and engaging with local fans through advertisement and the Chiefs Mobile App.

The Kansas State Wildcats are looking to bounce back following a disappointing season with no NCAA Tournament appearance, and will be hosting a top transfer target later this month.

Marquel Sutton became a college basketball star this past season at Omaha, helping the Mavericks to the NCAA Tournament, while averaging 19 points and eight rebounds per game, winning Summit League Player of the Year.

Sutton will be a graduate transfer, and is from Tulsa, Oklahoma, playing his high school ball at Will Rogers, and also spending time at Connors State and the JUCO level. He stands 6-foot-9 and 225 pounds, primarily playing the wing and forward spots, but having the flexibility to play center at times as well.

Sutton is a top target for many schools, with the Kansas Jayhawks, Ohio State Buckeyes, Baylor Bears, Notre Dame, Texas, Clemson, and Xavier all purusing the senior.

One of the most rare and most difficult feats in sports was accomplished yesterday in Chautauqua County.

Cedar Vale/Dexter pitcher Jake Voegele pitched a perfect game in the Spartans' win over Flinthills. Voegele struck out 14 batters in the victory, and also helped throw a combined no-hitter earlier this season against West Elk, in which he struck out 18 hitters.

Voegele has been one of the best strikeout artists in the state thus far this season, striking out 32 hitters in 11.1 innings pitched for the Spartans and head coach Luke Wachter.

The Spartans have used dominant pitching to race to a 4-0 start this season, and will host the Udall Eagles on April 10th.
