The Caney Valley Bullpups and head coach Criss Davis traveled to Riverton to take on a familiar Rams foe they had faced twice last year, racing out to a 32-0 lead before finishing with a 62-14 victory for their seventh straight win.

Jace Buckley got the scoring started with a six-yard plunge into the end zone and doubled Caney Valley’s lead with a 12-yard score to put the Bullpups ahead 16-0.

The passing game heated up on a frigid night, as Layne Denny found Konner Paulie on two touchdown throws, one from 36 yards down the middle of the field and the other from 22 yards away on a pinpoint pass to the deep left corner of the end zone. Paulie also added an interception to his night on a stellar juggling catch to pick off Rams quarterback Aydin Witherspoon.

Caney Valley’s 32-0 lead was cut by the Rams late in the first half, but the Bullpups continued their offensive surge after the break, adding several more rushing scores, including a 55-yard touchdown run by freshman Lane Wheatley.

Denny finished the night with more than 100 passing yards and three touchdown tosses. Davis says the quarterback is playing extremely well, and the Bullpups will continue to focus on controlling the line of scrimmage and time of possession.

With one regular-season game remaining, Davis says the 47 players on his roster are an unselfish group willing to do what it takes to win football games.

Caney Valley will return in Week 8 to take on district opponent Galena, looking to finish the regular season on a high note before postseason play. Pregame coverage against the Lions will begin Friday at 6:30 pm with kickoff at 7 on US 98.

The Field Kindley High School football team falls on the road to Emporia 40-16.

The Spartans got off to a fast start scoring on their second play of the game after a 54 yard pass and a six yard run.  Emporia would score on all six of their first half possessions and lead at the break 40-0. 

The Nado were able to find the endzone in the second half on a one yard Kobi Kirk QB keeper.  The touchdown was setup by a 37 yard catch by Aidan Stultz on a trick play WR pass by Carsten Voss.  Kirk would add one more touchdown as time expired with a one yard touchdown run.

The Nado fall to 0-7 on the season.  Coffeyville returns home next week to wrap up the regular season against Fort Scott on Senior Night.

The Caney Valley Bullpups and head coach Criss Davis head into Week 7 with a 6-0 record after taking down Cherryvale 46-0 last Friday.

The win marks Caney Valley’s ninth straight victory over the Chargers, as the Bullpups remain undefeated in district play.

With a big lead in the third quarter, Caney Valley was able to rotate in several underclassmen, and Davis says the depth of this team is likely the strongest he’s had during his time as head coach. 

The Bullpups will hit the road this week to face another district opponent in the Riverton Rams. Davis says it’s a game his team can’t take for granted, especially after Riverton jumped out to a 14-0 lead when the two teams met in the postseason last year. 

Caney Valley is one of seven 2A football teams still undefeated and will look to keep its perfect record intact against a senior-heavy Riverton squad seeking its fourth win. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 7 on US 98.

The Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas State Wildcats will meet this Saturday in the Sunflower Showdown, with both teams looking to bounce back after losses to ranked opponents.

Kansas will be on the road for the second straight week after a 41-24 loss to Utah. The Jayhawks battled back to cut the deficit to three points in the third quarter against the No. 12 team in college football but couldn’t score late to get back into the game.

Head coach Lance Leipold says his team needs to figure out how to play a full four quarters after an uneven performance against the Utes. 

The Jayhawks sit at 2-3 overall and 0-1 in Big 12 play. Kansas is also looking for its first win over K-State since 2008, when the Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats 52-21. Pregame coverage begins at 9 a.m., with kickoff set for 11 on Classic Hits 104.1.

K-State is coming off a loss of its own after falling 35-16 at home to the No. 22 Houston Cougars. Head coach Collin Klein says the Wildcats need to do a better job of extending drives on offense and getting off the field on third down defensively. 

The Wildcats have won 17 straight games against Kansas, including a 42-17 victory on the road last season. Pregame coverage begins at 10 a.m., with kickoff set for 11 on the Mighty 690.

The Coffeyville Red Ravens will host the red-hot Hutchinson Blue Dragons in a matchup between the No. 1 team in the NJCAA and a Coffeyville squad looking to revive its season.

Despite last week’s loss to Butler, head coach Nick Dobler says his team continues to show a high level of fight, even when things don’t go its way. Five of the Ravens’ seven games this season have been decided by just one possession. 

Hutchinson comes into the matchup undefeated in KJCCC play, and the Red Ravens will look to cool off the Blue Dragons while earning their first win over Hutchinson since 2021. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 7 on the Mighty 690.

The Fredonia Yellowjackets and head coach Lucas Lanning fell to Prairie View 41-6 on the road, dropping to 1-5 on the year.

Fredonia got off to a quick start with a touchdown on its opening drive but was held scoreless over the final three quarters by the Buffalos.

Lanning says quarterback Griffyn Salmon had a strong game through the air, while safety Zeke Sims finished with 19 tackles. However, the Yellowjackets lost some steam in the second half, as Prairie View’s larger roster helped the Buffalos maintain their energy over the final 24 minutes. 

The Yellowjackets will face Central Heights in Week 7, and Lanning says his defense will need to improve its tackling, particularly in open space. 

This Friday will mark Fredonia’s final home game of the season, as the Yellowjackets look to pick up their second win before closing out the year on the road against Neodesha.

The Neodesha Bluestreaks and head coach Nathan West bounced back from their Week 5 loss with a 55-22 win over 4-1 Humboldt last Friday.

The game was close early, with Neodesha holding just a five-point lead in the second quarter, but the Bluestreaks caught fire, scoring 22 points over the next 12 minutes to take a commanding lead into halftime.

West says his team played well and did a good job of fighting through adversity, especially after several players went down with injuries early in the game. 

Quarterback Tayte Leck also turned in an efficient performance through the air, completing 14 of 16 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns. West praised the sophomore for his strong play and his role in leading the passing attack. 

Neodesha will hit the road for its final road game of the season against Jayhawk-Linn, looking to improve to 6-1 against the 3-3 Jayhawks.

High school volleyball is nearing the end of its regular season, as regional play is less than a week away and will start on Monday, October 19.

In 3A volleyball, regional tournaments are hosted by the top four seeded schools, with seeding based on winning percentage. The 64 teams are split into four regional assignments, each consisting of 16 teams divided into four-team pools. Every team plays the other teams in its pool, and the top two finishers in each pool advance to substate.

According to the latest seedings posted on the KSHSAA website, Neodesha sits at No. 3 and is in line to host a regional. The Bluestreaks will share a pool with Caney Valley, Burlington and Osawatomie, while Caney Valley is seeded sixth.

Fredonia is seeded seventh and will play in a pool with Riverton, Anderson County and Columbus. Cherryvale sits at No. 16 and will compete in a pool with Galena, Central Heights and Iola.

For any readers interested in a more in-depth explanation of regional seeding and tournament rules, visit the KSHSAA website.

The Cherryvale Chargers and head coach Harry Hester fell to 3-3 on the year after a 46-0 loss on the road to rival Caney Valley.

The Chargers were looking to bounce back from a 35-6 loss to Baxter Springs in Week 5 but struggled to find the end zone on Friday night.

Hester says his team moved the ball well offensively but made a few mistakes near the red zone that stalled some promising drives. 

With just one senior and 15 juniors on the roster, several underclassmen have had opportunities to contribute, including sophomores Brock Carrico and Remington John. Hester says the younger players continue to grow, and he’s excited about the experience they’re gaining this season. 

The Chargers will hit the road this Friday to face Humboldt, looking to get back in the win column against a 4-2 Cubs squad.

The West Elk Patriots and head coach Ian Denton are coming off a 60-6 loss to Yates Center in Week 6.

The Patriots scored on their opening possession, but a few miscues allowed the Wildcats to pull ahead and take a sizable lead into halftime.

Denton says his team continues to improve and learn what it takes to compete, especially against teams with senior-heavy rosters. 

West Elk expects to get several players back from injury in Week 7 after missing key athletes for much of the season. Denton says the Patriots will also continue expanding the roles of underclassmen who have stepped up in their absence. 

West Elk’s JV team finished the season undefeated after wrapping up its final game, while the varsity squad will hit the road this Friday to face South Sumner, looking for its second win of the season.

The Field Kindley High School girls golf team is headed to the state tournament following a second-place finish at Sub-State.

Competing on their home course at Coffeyville Country Club, the Nado finished with a team score of 373 to secure second place and advance to state. Jessica Zimmerman led the way for Coffeyville, finishing tied for third place. Avery Sells tied for seventh, while Josie Murdock finished 13^th and Addison Watts placed 14^th. Kennadi Freedle tied for 15^th and Halle Tatman finished 18^th.

The state tournament berth comes less than a week after Coffeyville captured its second consecutive Southeast Kansas League championship in Pittsburg on October 6^th. Zimmerman won the individual SEK championship, followed by Sells in second place. Watts finished third following a playoff, while Murdock placed fifth, Freedle seventh and Tatman 13^th. The State Tournament is scheduled for October 19^th and 20^th at Turkey Creek Golf Course in McPherson.

The Oswego Indians and head coach Matt Fowler secured a 61-12 home victory over the Erie Red Devils on Friday night.

The win moves Oswego to 6-0 on the season following the non-district matchup. The Indians also hold a three-game lead over the next closest team in their district standings in 8-man football.

Oswego took down West Elk in Week 5, and Fowler says the defense was the standout, allowing just four first downs and 21 rushing yards on 45 carries. He also praised special teams for coming up with a big play on a punt return for a touchdown. 

Heading into the matchup with Erie, Fowler says the Indians needed to be ready for a big, physical team and find a way to slow down the Red Devils’ star running back, Quincy Brown. 

The Indians will hit the road one last time in the regular season, traveling to take on the Southeast Lancers. Oswego will look to move to 7-0 against a Southeast team aiming to secure a winning regular season.

The Erie Red Devils and head coach David Pitts fell on the road to the Oswego Indians, 61-12, on Friday night.

Erie was looking to hand Oswego its first loss of the year, but the Indians’ offense jumped out to an early lead they would never relinquish.

Pitts says his team moved the ball well but was unable to punch it into the end zone. He also says the Red Devils worked on throwing the ball and moving players around late in the game to prepare for next Friday.

The Red Devils will face Yates Center in Week 7, and Pitts says they’ll have to be ready for the Wildcats’ quick-footed quarterback and hard-nosed running back.

Friday’s matchup will be Erie’s final home regular-season contest, as the Red Devils look to move back above .500 when they clash with the 3-3 Wildcats.

The Kansas women’s soccer team reached its 10th win of the season after taking down No. 24 Colorado, 1-0, on Sunday.

After 83 minutes of scoreless play, sophomore Jordan Rowan fired a shot into the top-left corner of the net. A deflection off a Colorado player helped the ball find its way in, giving Kansas the lead and securing the road victory.

Head coach Nate Lie says it was a typical Sunday matchup where he knew it would take grit and heart to come away with a win, especially against a physical Colorado team that puts pressure on its opponents.

The Jayhawks went 2-1 on their road trip, with stops in Waco and Manhattan. Lie says his team will take a well-deserved rest and hopes to use the win over Colorado to build momentum heading into the final five games of the regular season.

Kansas is vying for a spot near the top of the Big 12 and will return home this Friday to Rock Chalk Park, where it remains unbeaten this season. The Jayhawks will host Iowa State, looking to improve to 5-1-1 in conference play, with kickoff set for 6 p.m.

Both the Kansas Jayhawks and Kansas State Wildcats fell to ranked opponents on Saturday as they turn their attention to this weekend’s Sunflower Showdown.

K-State hosted No. 22 Houston at 2:30 p.m., but the Cougars jumped out to a big lead they would never surrender, handing the Wildcats a 35-16 loss at home and dropping them to 3-2 on the season.

Head coach Collin Klein says his offense struggled to find a rhythm on the ground and through the air, failing to put itself in good positions to move the chains. He also says the defense couldn’t find ways to make life difficult for the Cougars. 

The Wildcats fall to 0-2 in conference play but will look to bounce back this Saturday when they host Kansas. Pregame coverage begins at 9 a.m., with kickoff set for 11 on the Mighty 690.

The Jayhawks traveled to Utah and battled the Utes before falling 41-24, dropping to 2-3 overall and 0-1 in Big 12 play.

Head coach Lance Leipold says his team still believes it’s in a good spot despite the loss, but needs to improve in key moments to get over the hump. 

Kansas will hit the road for the second straight week, heading to Manhattan this Saturday to take on the Wildcats. Pregame coverage begins at 9 a.m., with kickoff set for 11 on Classic Hits 104.1.

The Coffeyville Red Ravens and head coach Nick Dobler fell to Butler 29-28 in a rivalry game on the 25th anniversary of Veterans Memorial Stadium, dropping to 2-5 on the season.

John Nicholas opened the scoring with a 14-yard scramble, diving inside the right pylon for his first rushing touchdown of the year to make it 7-0.

After a field goal by the Grizzlies, Messiah Cage caught a five-yard touchdown pass from Nicholas to make it 14-3 before another three points from Butler cut the lead to eight heading into halftime.

Coffeyville recorded its first defensive touchdown of the year on a blocked punt return, extending its lead to 15 with just over 13 minutes remaining in the third quarter.

Butler responded with 17 unanswered points, taking its first lead of the night on a 44-yard field goal. Nicholas then found Cam Hunter for a 37-yard touchdown pass to put Coffeyville back in front 28-23 with a little over five minutes remaining.

The Grizzlies found the end zone again with 1:52 left in the fourth quarter, and Coffeyville stopped the two-point conversion attempt. However, the Red Ravens were unable to put together a game-winning drive, as Malachi Berg was sacked on the final play after coming in for an injured Nicholas.

Coffeyville drops to 1-2 in conference play and will face No. 1 Hutchinson next week in another KJCCC matchup. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 7 on US 98.

Head coach Criss Davis and his Bullpups shut out an opponent for the fourth time this season as Caney Valley took down rival Cherryvale 46-0 on Homecoming night in Week 6.

Jace Buckley got the scoring started on the Bullpups’ third play from scrimmage, finding a seam on the left side of the offensive line and bursting into the end zone for a 68-yard rushing touchdown.

Layne Denny then found a streaking Traxcyn Garton down the right sideline for a 58-yard touchdown pass, putting Caney Valley in the driver’s seat with a 16-0 lead after the first quarter.

Buckley added two more rushing touchdowns to finish with three on the night in another dominant performance on the ground, as Caney Valley entered halftime ahead 32-0.

The Bullpups’ defense once again made life difficult for the opposing offense, recording an interception and stopping the Chargers on fourth down twice to preserve the shutout. Garton and Boone White added two more rushing scores in the third quarter.

With a running clock for the final 20 minutes, Davis put in a slew of underclassmen, who all gained valuable playing time. Caney Valley came away with another 40-plus-point win before the players celebrated Homecoming night.

The Bullpups will move on to face Riverton on the road next week, with pregame coverage beginning at 6:30 p.m. and kickoff set for 7 on US 98.

Field Kindley High School football falls on Homecoming Night to Labette County 41-6.  

Labette County jumped out early to a 21-0 lead at the half.  They would extend their lead to 28-0 before Coffeyville would get on the board 28-6 with a 43 yard touchdown catch by Carsten Voss.  The Grizzlies would seal the win with two more touchdowns.

Coffeyville is back on the road next week traveling to Emporia.

The Field Kindley High School football team returns home tonight for their homecoming matchup against Labette County, looking to bounce back from last week's loss to Winfield.

The Nado have struggled with consistency through the first five games of the season. Head Coach Mike O'Connor says last week's performance showed several areas where the team needs to improve. With injuries impacting the Nado roster, the team has made several position changes ahead of tonight's game. O'Connor says the adjustments are intended to help the team both this season and moving forward.

Labette County enters the matchup following a loss to Fort Scott in its league opener. O'Connor says the Grizzlies have shown an ability to stay competitive even when trailing. The Nado and Grizzlies meet tonight at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Coffeyville. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30pm with kickoff at 7:00pm on Sonshine 98.9 KQQF.

Thursday Results

South Coffeyville 46, Oaks-Mission 12

The Coffeyville Red Ravens and head coach Nick Dobler are coming off a 31-19 victory over Ellsworth in a non-conference battle last Saturday.

The Red Ravens traveled seven hours to Iowa Falls, Iowa, to take on the Panthers and jumped out to an early 14-0 lead they would never relinquish on their way to a 12-point win, moving to 2-4 on the year.

The defense forced five total takeaways, including three interceptions and two fumbles, while not allowing an offensive touchdown in the final 30 minutes of the matchup. Dobler says his team stuck to the game plan, as the defensive line capitalized on sacks while Ellsworth was forced to go to the air while trailing late in the fourth quarter.

Dobler says his offense did a good job of finding a rhythm and responding in the third quarter with 10 straight points to build momentum, but penalties and turnovers derailed some of that steam, something the Red Ravens will continue to work on heading into Week 7.

Coffeyville will take on Butler tomorrow night in a Kansas Jayhawk Conference battle, as the Red Ravens look to move to 2-1 in conference play on the 25th anniversary of Veterans Memorial Stadium. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 7 on US 98.

The Caney Valley Bullpups and head coach Criss Davis are coming off a 38-14 statement win over Neodesha last Friday, improving to 5-0 on the season.

The Bullpups have never trailed this season and have taken double-digit leads into halftime in all five contests.

Davis says the aspect that stood out to him most after the clash against the Bluestreaks was his offensive line, which gave his running backs great lanes to run through while also showing improvement in the footwork of his blockers. 

Caney Valley will face Cherryvale as the Bullpups return home for Homecoming tonight, and Davis says the Chargers are a team that can put points on the board. With a week full of festivities and distractions, he also says staying focused will be important for the Bullpups. 

Caney Valley has won eight straight games against Cherryvale, including 13 of the past 15, and will look to make it nine straight this evening. Pregame coverage for the game begins at 6:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 7 on US 98.

The West Elk Patriots and head coach Ian Denton fell to the unbeaten Oswego Indians, 54-8, last Friday, dropping to 1-4 on the year.

The Patriots have faced a tough stretch of opponents and have been without several key starters over the past few weeks, creating opportunities for younger players to step into bigger roles.

Denton praised freshman Michael Best, who hauled in his first touchdown catch for 44 yards, along with running back Carson Tindle for stepping into larger designations as the Patriots deal with injuries.

The Patriots will begin a two-game road trip in Week 6 with a visit to Yates Center, a team West Elk hasn’t faced in a few years. Denton says the Patriots will face a left-handed quarterback and are preparing for the challenge.

West Elk will look to secure its second win of the season while keeping the Wildcats at two wins when the Patriots hit the road this Friday.
