Both Kansas and Kansas State came up short against Big 12 opponents on Saturday, dropping their second consecutive conference games and slipping toward the bottom of the league standings.

Kansas nearly pulled off a remarkable comeback against UCF after trailing 26-7 midway through the third quarter. The Jayhawks scored 25 unanswered points to take a 32-26 lead with a little over a minute remaining, but the Golden Knights answered with a game-winning drive, finding the end zone with just one second left to escape with a 33-32 victory.

Head coach Lance Leipold says his team did a great job of overcoming a slow first half and fighting its way back into the lead, but the defense couldn't come up with a stop on the final drive. The loss drops Kansas to 3-6 overall and 1-5 in Big 12 play, leaving the Jayhawks at the bottom of the conference standings.

Kansas State, meanwhile, struggled to keep pace with Oklahoma State at home, as the Cowboys put up 49 points in the first half to take a commanding 49-14 lead into the break.

Oklahoma State maintained control the rest of the way, leaving Manhattan with a 66-28 victory. Head coach Collin Klein says the loss starts with him and the coaching staff, taking responsibility for not doing a better job of putting the Wildcats in position to win.

The defeat drops K-State to 4-5 overall and 1-5 in conference play. The Wildcats sit just one spot ahead of Kansas near the bottom of the Big 12 standings.

The Kansas City Chiefs handled the visiting New York Jets, outscoring the team from the Big Apple 28-3 after an early second-quarter deficit to win 35-12 and end a two-game skid. 

Head coach Andy Reid says he was proud of how his team performed after two consecutive defeats and liked how they rebounded from the slow start, especially on special teams. 

The Chiefs will be back in action next Sunday with another noon contest as they hit the road to take on the Atlanta Falcons, with pregame beginning at 11:00 on the Mighty 690.

The Coffeyville Red Ravens closed out their 2026 campaign with one of their biggest wins of the year, knocking off the 14th-ranked Dodge City Conquistadors 28-20 at Memorial Stadium on Saturday. A strong defensive effort helped Coffeyville overcome a turnover-filled fourth quarter and secure its second straight victory to finish the season under head coach Nick Dobler.

Dodge City opened the scoring with a 30-yard field goal after Coffeyville went three-and-out, and the teams traded empty possessions before the Red Ravens found their footing offensively. John Nicholas led an 11-play, 83-yard drive, capping it with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Bird-Winston on second-and-goal. It was Bird-Winston's first touchdown of the season, giving Coffeyville a 6-3 lead after the extra point was missed.

The Conquistadors answered with a lengthy drive that chewed up nearly all of the remaining second quarter clock, including a successful fake punt on fourth-and-two near midfield to extend their march. They eventually found the end zone when Tim Carpenter connected with receiver Omarion Lewis on a four-yard touchdown pass, putting Dodge City ahead 10-6 at halftime.

The Conquistadors had another opportunity to add points before the break after Nicholas fumbled inside his own 30-yard line with under thirty seconds remaining before the break, but Coffeyville's defense blocked a 33-yard field goal attempt to keep the game within reach.

Dodge City extended its lead less than a minute into the second half when Carpenter broke loose for a 79-yard rushing touchdown, but he left the game after landing awkwardly on his right shoulder as he was taken to the turf falling into the end zone, and the Red Ravens took advantage of the change at quarterback to work their way back into the game down 17-6.

T.J. Ward finished off two Coffeyville scoring drives, first punching in a three-yard touchdown on fourth-and-goal and later finding the end zone from six yards out. The second score put the Red Ravens ahead 20-17, after failing to convert the two-point attempt.

Dodge City tied the game with a 42-yard field goal with 10:19 remaining, setting up a wild finish. Nicholas threw three interceptions on three consecutive series, but the Conquistadors couldn't turn any of them into points, as CCC's defense stood tall. 

Nicholas' third pick set up Dodge City at the Coffeyville 41-yard line with 1:22 left, but the Conquistadors were pushed backward by an 11-yard sack before Coffeyville linebacker Dayontay Standifer stepped in front of a pass intended for the right flat and returned it 54 yards for a touchdown. Coffeyville converted the two-point attempt to take a 28-20 lead with less than 35 seconds remaining.

The Conquistadors fumbled the ensuing kickoff, allowing the Red Ravens to close out the victory and celebrate a strong finish to the season. Coffeyville finished 4-6 overall and 3-3 in conference play, winning its final two games after a difficult stretch.

Dobler will enter his fourth season at the helm in 2027, with the Red Ravens hoping to carry that late-season momentum into the offseason and build on the progress made down the stretch.

The Caney Valley Bullpups are regional champions as they beat Royal Valley 46-6.

The Panthers got the game started early with a touchdown drive on their first possession taking a 6-0 lead.  Caney would answer right back after a big kick return, setting up the offense on the Royal Valley 15 yard line.  Two plays later Traxcyn Garton would score his first of three touchdowns on the night.  Caney would extend their first half lead to 24-6 on a Konner Paulie punt return for a touchdown.

Caney would go on to score 46 unanswered points to secure the win.  The Bullpups take on Sebetha next week in a battle of unbeatens.

The Coffeyville Red Ravens overcame a back-and-forth first half before taking control after the break, pulling away for a 98-79 win over Lee College in the Scooter's Coffee Tip-Off Classic to improve to 2-0.

Jordan Buckner and Connor Sprattley combined for 26 points on 8-of-15 shooting to help the Navigators carry a 43-42 lead into halftime, but Lee College struggled to get consistent production from the rest of its lineup as Coffeyville made adjustments out of the locker room. 

The Red Ravens went on a 32-19 run over the first 10 minutes of the second half to take a 74-62 lead, and the Navigators couldn't get back within striking distance.

Jack Sorrell led all scorers with 27 points, continuing his efficient start to the season by shooting 7-of-14 from the field. Khalib Norcome, Jeremiah Ibeziako and Uzziah Sanders also finished in double figures to help power the Coffeyville offense.

After being outrebounded by 15 in the first half, the Red Ravens flipped the script after halftime, dominating the boards 26-12. Coffeyville limited Lee College's second-chance opportunities and recorded 14 steals, putting pressure on the Navigators throughout the second half.

Nathaniel Salmon led the Red Ravens with 13 rebounds, while Harmon Hailemichael added seven boards to help control the paint. Coffeyville will look to carry that momentum into a matchup with North Dakota State College of Science tomorrow, with tip-off scheduled for 3 p.m. in Great Bend, Kansas. 

The Caney Valley Bullpups improved to 9-0 with a 66-6 win over Jayhawk-Linn last Thursday, moving one victory away from reaching double-digit wins for the season under head coach Criss Davis.

The Bullpups once again got off to a quick start, continuing a trend that has seen them score a touchdown on their opening possession in all but one game this season.

Davis says his defense once again stood out, as the Bullpups kept the Jayhawks’ rushing attack in check and came away with two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.

Caney Valley will face Royal Valley in the regional round tonight after the Panthers defeated Baxter Springs 32-14 in Week 9. Davis says the two teams are similar, as both deploy run-heavy offenses and pride themselves on physical play. He believes that physicality will be a deciding factor in tonight’s matchup.

The Bullpups will have home-field advantage as the higher seed, hosting the 10th-seeded Panthers. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 7 p.m. on US 98. The winner will advance to face either Sabetha or Silver Lake in the sectional round next Friday.

The Fredonia Yellowjackets closed out their season last Thursday with a 38-6 loss to the Galena Bulldogs, finishing the year with a 1-8 record under head coach Lucus Lanning.

Fredonia entered the matchup hoping to secure its second win against a winless Galena squad, but the Bulldogs’ defense kept the Yellowjackets from consistently threatening

Lanning says his team moved the ball through the air better than he had seen all season. He also says Galena proved to be a much tougher opponent than its 0-8 record suggested, having faced a difficult schedule throughout the year.

Looking back on the campaign, Lanning says the matchup against Central Heights was where he saw his team begin to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Although the game ended in a loss, he believes it was Fredonia’s most productive performance of the season.

The Yellowjackets will return to action in 2027 for Lanning’s second year at the helm, looking to build on their 1-8 finish.

The Coffeyville Red Ravens will travel to Dodge City for their season finale this Saturday, looking to secure a second straight win after a great performance against Highland.

The Red Ravens’ road success will be tested by a Conquistadors team that has been perfect at home this season, as 14th-ranked Dodge City looks to defend its turf against a Coffeyville squad entering the matchup with renewed confidence.

Coming off a six-touchdown performance from quarterback John Nicholas and an offense that punted just once against the Scotties, head coach Nick Dobler says Dodge City presents a strong opponent with a solid scheme, and his offense will need to continue converting on third downs while giving Nicholas time in the pocket.

Pregame coverage begins at 11:30 a.m., with kickoff set for noon on US 98, as the Red Ravens look to finish the season strong against a top-15 opponent.

The Coffeyville Lady Ravens improved to 2-0 to begin the season with a 73-33 win over Haskell JV on Thursday night, once again overcoming a slow start before pulling away from their opponent.

A two-point first-quarter lead quickly grew into a 20-point advantage as Coffeyville put together a 20-2 run to create separation. Haskell initially slowed the Lady Ravens with a 2-3 zone defense, but Coffeyville found success in transition and used its pressure on the defensive end to generate fast-break opportunities.

Rekiah Brown led all scorers with 18 points, while Esme Smith added 17 and Carly Dameron finished with 10. Coffeyville also had a strong night at the free-throw line, converting nearly all of its attempts.

The Lady Ravens will be back in action tomorrow against NEO, which is coming off a 78-73 loss to Independence. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The St. Paul Indians closed out their season on a high note, taking down the Fairfield Falcons 50-30 last Thursday to earn their first win of the year under head coach Keith Wiatrak.

Trailing 30-20 at halftime, the Indians’ defense stepped up over the final 24 minutes, keeping the Falcons scoreless the rest of the way. Meanwhile, the offense took control in the fourth quarter to secure the 20-point victory.

Wiatrak says a halftime conversation and a third-quarter interception helped spark the turnaround, as the Indians found their confidence in the second half.

Wiatrak also says his team’s fight and never-give-up attitude made this group special, especially after two consecutive seasons in which significant injuries impacted the team’s performance on the field.

The Indians finish the year at 1-8 and will look to build on a large group of returning underclassmen next season, led by a handful of juniors and seniors.

The Neodesha Bluestreaks advanced to the regional round of the Class 2A football playoffs with a 61-26 win over Pleasant Ridge in their Week 9 matchup Thursday night under head coach Nathan West.

The teams traded touchdown drives in a back-and-forth first quarter before Neodesha found its footing and pulled away. The Bluestreaks’ defense held the Rams to just 12 points over the final 36 minutes to help secure the victory.

West says his team did a great job weathering the early storm against a Rams team they knew little about. He adds that the consistent scoring gave his coaching staff time to make the necessary adjustments throughout the game.

Senior Camryn White had a nose for the end zone Thursday night, crossing the goal line six times while rushing for 140 yards. West says White is a talented player, and his offensive line, which features three seniors, has done a stellar job all season.

Neodesha will host Riverside this Friday as the fourth and fifth seeds on the east side of the bracket meet in a matchup between two 8-1 teams. The Cyclones and Bluestreaks each have just one loss, with both defeats coming against teams still in the hunt for a state championship.

The Kansas Jayhawks volleyball squad remains ranked No. 15 in the AVCA polls following their fourth straight win, including a sweep of rival Kansas State at Allen Fieldhouse last Friday.

After starting the season 1-3, Kansas has gone 15-2 and currently sits third in the Big 12 standings with seven matches remaining on the schedule.

Following the 3-0 win over the Wildcats, head coach Matt Ulmer says his favorite part of the match was the energy inside the arena and seeing everyone involved have fun during the victory.

Ulmer says several stoppages slowed the game during the second set against K-State, while the Jayhawks also committed a few service errors. He says limiting those mistakes is an area where he'd like to see the team improve.

Kansas will be back in action tonight against No. 24 Baylor at Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena, looking to extend its winning streak to five matches.

The West Elk Patriots finished the season with a 2-7 record after receiving a forfeit victory over the Udall Eagles, closing out head coach Ian Denton’s second year at the head of the team. 

The Patriots defeated Udall 48-0 in their first win of the season back in Week 2, and the team was preparing to get on the bus for the rematch when word came in that the Eagles would be unable to play.

Denton says the situation was disappointing, especially for the seniors who were looking forward to some closure to their season.

Looking back on the campaign, Denton says he saw the most growth in the maturity of his players. With several freshmen and sophomores stepping into expanded roles because of injuries, the younger players gained a better understanding of the speed and physicality of 8-Man football.

The Patriots will look to improve in 2027 as Denton enters his third year at the helm, following back-to-back 2-7 finishes. We’ll take a closer look at West Elk’s season in review next week.

The Cherryvale Chargers saw their season come to a close with a 61-6 loss to the Sabetha Bluejays in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs, finishing the year with a 4-5 record under head coach Harry Hester.

The Chargers forced a fumble on Sabetha’s second possession, deep in Bluejay territory, giving Cherryvale an opportunity to take the lead. However, a 98-yard pick-six put the home team up by two scores, and Sabetha stayed in control the rest of the night.

Hester says his team went neck and neck with one of the top teams in the state early on, and he was proud of how hard the Chargers competed against a disciplined defensive team.

Throughout the campaign, Hester says there was a quiet confidence within his team, as players were prepared to put their heads down and get to work while continuing to build their understanding of the game during his second year back with the Chargers.

Cherryvale will return the majority of its 2026 roster, with just two seniors graduating. The Chargers will look to build on this season’s 4-5 finish heading into next year. We’ll have a season wrap-up story on Cherryvale next week.

Kansas State basketball and first-year head coach Casey Alexander opened the season with a narrow 68-66 loss to South Dakota State at Bramlage Coliseum on Tuesday night.

The Wildcats trailed by seven at halftime and clawed their way back into the game, but couldn't take the lead as the second half came to a close.

Alexander says the Jackrabbits' guards did a good job of making plays, while also taking responsibility for not putting his team in a position to deliver a better performance.

The Wildcats begin the season 0-1 and will be back in action Friday against Cal State Northridge. Pregame coverage begins at 7 p.m., with tipoff set for 8 p.m. on US 98.

The Erie Red Devils saw their season come to an end Friday with a 52-0 loss to South Sumner in the first round of the 8-Man playoffs under head coach David Pitts.

The Red Devils were looking to upset the higher-seeded Outlaws after falling to them earlier in the season, 66-12, however, South Sumner’s defense shut out Erie to secure the victory.

Pitts says he challenged his team to compete against one of the top teams in 8-Man football. He liked how the Red Devils moved the ball down the field, but Erie was unable to convert when it reached South Sumner territory.

Through nine games in a new format, Pitts says he saw his players continue to adapt to the details and techniques of the game, with that progress showing up in their play as the season went on.

The Red Devils finish the year with a 4-5 record after going .500 during the regular season. We’ll have a season wrap-up on Erie next week.

The Oswego Indians advanced to the regional round of the 8-Man Division I playoffs with a 76-28 win over Cedar Vale/Dexter on Friday, continuing their postseason run under head coach Matt Fowler.

The Indians and Spartans met last year in a 174-point shootout, with Cedar Vale/Dexter coming away with an 88-86 victory. Friday night’s matchup started much the same way, as the teams combined for 68 points in the opening 12 minutes, however, Oswego shut out the Spartans the rest of the way to secure the victory.

Coming into the matchup, Fowler says it was easy for his team to stay focused, considering how last year’s game ended. He says the message to his players was to remember that the game in front of them was the last one guaranteed on their schedule.

Fowler also says the Indians had to be wary of Cedar Vale/Dexter quarterback Cooper Criss, who has great touch as a passer. Criss finished Friday’s game with 322 passing yards and four touchdown passes.

The Indians will face Washington County this Friday in the regional round. The 6-3 Tigers are coming off a 52-0 win over Cair Paravel.

The Kansas Jayhawks pulled away from Fordham on Tuesday evening, turning a six-point lead with just under 14 minutes remaining into a 95-65 victory over the visiting Rams under head coach Bill Self. Kansas’ defense found its footing down the stretch, helping the Jayhawks create separation and secure the 30-point win.

With added depth on his roster, Self says it may take some time to get used to having more than eight key rotation players at his disposal. Every Jayhawk came off the bench, and eight players logged at least 13 minutes.

Tre White led Kansas with 22 points, while top recruit Tyran Stokes added 15 as the Crimson and Blue turned on the gas, scoring 52 points in the second half.

The Jayhawks will be back at Allen Fieldhouse this Friday to take on Middle Tennessee. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m., with tipoff set for 8 p.m. on US 98.

The Coffeyville Community College men’s and women’s basketball teams opened their seasons with convincing wins over junior varsity opponents, getting their campaigns started on a strong note.

The women kicked off the night against Bethany, and after falling behind by three points early, the Lady Ravens never looked back, cruising to an 89-45 victory.

Freshman Calla Fueshko led the team in scoring with 15 points in just seven minutes of action. She was perfect from the free-throw line and knocked down three of her four attempts from beyond the arc.

The women return to action this Thursday at Nellis Hall, taking on Haskell JV. Pregame coverage begins at 7:15 p.m., with tipoff set for 7:30 on US 98.

The men led from tipoff to the final buzzer, scoring 72 points in the first half en route to a 130-53 win against Southwestern. A flurry of slam dunks, hot three-point shooting and strong defense helped the Red Ravens jump out to a 38-8 lead in the first 10 minutes. Coffeyville racked up 21 steals and cruised through the final 30 minutes.

Sophomore Jack Sorrell was perfect from the field, knocking down all eight of his attempts, including four three-pointers. Newcomers Khalib Norcome and Uzziah Sanders also turned in 20-plus-point performances.

The men will be back in action this Friday against Lee College. Pregame coverage begins at 2:45 p.m., with tipoff set for 3 p.m. on US 98.

The Kansas City Chiefs had a chance to take the lead with a game-winning touchdown drive in the final seconds Sunday afternoon, but came up short on fourth-and-goal from the 6-yard line as time expired, falling to the Denver Broncos 28-24 in an AFC West showdown at Mile High.

The Chiefs carried a 24-13 lead into the fourth quarter after Patrick Mahomes threw his third touchdown pass of the afternoon, however, Kansas City couldn’t hold onto the advantage as Denver rallied late to escape with the victory.

Head coach Andy Reid says penalties were a major factor in the loss, including a false start that wiped out what would have been the go-ahead touchdown with less than 10 seconds remaining. The penalty was called on right tackle Jaylon Moore.

The Chiefs fall to 5-2 and move into second place in the AFC West, a half-game behind the Broncos. Kansas City will look to bounce back next Sunday when it returns home to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the struggling New York Jets. Pregame coverage begins at 11 a.m., with kickoff set for noon on the Mighty 690.

November has arrived, and so has basketball season.

The Coffeyville Red Ravens men’s and women’s basketball teams will tip off their seasons this Monday, with both squads entering the year carrying high expectations.

The Red Ravens will look to get their campaigns started on the right foot, as the men’s team has been picked to finish first in the KJCCC and will begin the season ranked No. 12 in the NJCAA polls, while the women’s team enters the year picked to finish third in the KJCCC.

The women will open the season tonight at 5:30 p.m., with pregame coverage beginning at 5:15 on US 98. The men will follow with a 7:30 p.m. tipoff, also on US 98.

The Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas State Wildcats both came up short on Halloween, falling in a pair of one-possession games that went down to the wire.

Kansas let a 13-0 halftime lead slip away against TCU, falling to the Horned Frogs 22-16. The Jayhawks’ offense struggled to find momentum in the final 30 minutes, with Cole Ballard taking over for injured starting quarterback Isaiah Marshall.

Head coach Lance Leipold says TCU’s defense made things difficult for Kansas as the Jayhawks moved deeper into Horned Frogs territory, while poor execution in the red zone contributed to the second-half issues.

The Jayhawks fall to 3-5 overall and 1-4 in conference play. They’ll return home this Saturday to take on the UCF Knights, with pregame coverage beginning at 1:15 p.m. and kickoff set for 2:45 p.m. on Classic Hits 104.1.

Kansas State fell in overtime to the Colorado Buffaloes, 27-24, after fourth-string quarterback Blake Barnett led a game-tying drive in the final seconds to send the contest into an extra frame. 

Colorado walked it off with a touchdown after the Wildcats settled for a field goal on their first possession of overtime. Head coach Collin Klein says Kansas State is struggling to find a rhythm and is making things more difficult on itself.

The Wildcats fall to 4-4 overall and 1-4 in conference play. They will return home this Saturday to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys, with pregame coverage beginning at 10:00 a.m. and kickoff set for noon on the Mighty 690.
