The Coffeyville Red Ravens dropped another home matchup in a one-possession game Saturday afternoon, falling to the Garden City Broncbusters 19-14.

The second Kansas Jayhawk Conference matchup for the Red Ravens started on a good note, as the defense forced a three-and-out on Garden City’s first possession.

Coffeyville then took a 7-0 lead on a 16-yard touchdown pass to Cam Hunter. Afterward, the Broncbusters reached the Red Ravens’ red zone twice but could only come away with field goals, making it a 7-6 game midway through the second quarter.

Garden City added a touchdown late in the second quarter to take a 13-7 lead into halftime, and the Red Ravens’ offense stalled as the Broncbusters scored 19 unanswered points to take a 19-7 advantage into the final frame.

After starting quarterback Marco Rodriquez left with an injury during a fourth-quarter drive, John Nicholas entered the game and found Jayden Howard for a 30-yard touchdown reception on fourth down, cutting the deficit to five.

The Red Ravens got the ball back with under two minutes remaining and no timeouts, but a fumble ended their final possession as Garden City secured the Homecoming victory.

The Red Ravens fall to 1-4 on the season and 1-1 in conference play. Coffeyville will travel to Iowa next week to take on Ellsworth, with pregame coverage beginning at 10:30 a.m. and kickoff set for 11 on US 98.

Criss Davis and his Bullpups traveled to Baxter Springs on Friday night and spoiled the Lions’ Homecoming festivities by pulling away in the final 24 minutes for a 64-26 victory.

After forcing an early three-and-out, Caney Valley struck first on a two-yard touchdown run by Traxcyn Garton, followed by his two-point conversion.

Baxter Springs quarterback Cole Parrish then broke free for a 70-yard touchdown run to make it 8-7, marking the first time an opponent has scored against the Bullpups this season.

Caney answered with a three-yard touchdown run from Jace Buckley before a fourth-down pass from the seven-yard line to Drake Roberds extended the lead to 21-7.

The Lions responded with touchdown passes of 58 and 52 yards to cut the deficit to 21-19 with about a minute left in the first half.

After a strong kick return from Huck Seger, Caney went to the air with 10 seconds remaining, connecting with Roberds for a 42-yard touchdown to regain momentum. The ensuing two-point conversion gave the Bullpups a 29-19 halftime lead.

The second half belonged to Caney Valley, as the Bullpups recovered an attempted onside kick before Buckley scored on a reverse to make it 37-19. Caney then picked off Parrish, and Garton followed with a 39-yard touchdown run.

The Bullpups added two more scores, including another touchdown catch from Roberds and a rushing touchdown from Buckley, to take a 56-19 lead after outscoring Baxter Springs 27-0 in the third quarter.

Buckley finished with four rushing touchdowns and more than 200 yards on the ground, while Roberds had three touchdown catches and more than 100 receiving yards.

Buckley and Roberds combined for seven of Caney Valley’s nine touchdowns, while the Bullpups’ second-half adjustments helped keep Parrish and the Baxter Springs receivers in check.

The Caney Valley Bullpups and head coach Criss Davis are coming off a 44-0 win over the Humboldt Cubs in Week 3.

While the Bullpups’ offense has been rolling, the defense has been just as impressive. Caney Valley has yet to allow an opponent to reach the end zone this season.

Davis says he likes how his defense is playing after shutting out a Humboldt team capable of putting up points. He also emphasized the team’s strong run defense and improved ability to contain opponents through the air.

Caney Valley will make the 60-minute trip to Baxter Springs this Friday to take on the Lions. Davis says his defense will need to be alert to the explosiveness of Baxter Springs’ offense, as the Lions can break off big plays and use their elusiveness to make defenders miss.

The Bullpups are tied for first in the TVL and will look to stay unbeaten tonight against a non-district opponent from the CNC as they reach the halfway point of the regular season. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 7 on US 98.

The Coffeyville Red Ravens football team is coming off another close defeat, falling to the Iowa Central Tritons in a back-and-forth affair, 31-27, last Saturday.

The loss drops Coffeyville to 1-3 on the season, but the Red Ravens remain 1-0 in conference play. They’ll have a chance to improve to 2-0 in the KJCCC tomorrow when they host the Garden City Broncbusters during Homecoming weekend.

Head coach Nick Dobler says he likes how his team battled back to take the lead in the fourth quarter after falling behind by two scores, however, he’d like to see the Red Ravens stop hurting themselves and put themselves in better situations late in games.

Garden City enters tomorrow’s matchup at 2-3 and will look to even its record against a conference opponent. Dobler says both teams are in a similar position, and his squad will need to focus on itself and execute amid a night of Homecoming festivities.

The Red Ravens are one of four teams still unbeaten in conference play and will look to build momentum as they head into the heart of their season. Pregame coverage begins Saturday at 12:30 p.m., with kickoff set for 1 p.m. on US 98.

Independence High School prepares for their week four action taking on their rival on Homecoming Night.

The Bulldogs have dropped two in a row and are 1-2 on the season. IHS has been outscored 57-40 in the second half of games this season. Head Coach Kendall Fiscus says they come out of halftime slow. Coffeyville and Independence have already seen each other once this season at the Jamboree. Fiscus says both teams have changed a lot since then.

Independence Homecoming Coronation starts at 6:30pm and kickoff is at 7:00pm.

Field Kindley High School heads into week four looking to play the role of spoiler on Independence's Homecoming night.

The Nado are coming off a 39-18 loss to Parsons. Head Coach Mike O'Connor says the team has to be like goldfish and have short memory. The Bulldogs average 25 points a game. O'Connor says they have to focus on slowing down their offensive attack.

Pregame is at 6:30pm and kickoff is at 7:00pm on Sonshine 98.9 KQQF.

The Neodesha Bluestreaks and head coach Nathan West continue their hot start after a 61-0 victory over the Eureka Tornadoes in Week 3.

The Bluestreaks are now 3-0 as they prepare for district play, with both sides of the ball working in unison to help Neodesha earn some sizeable victories.

Coming into the game against Eureka, West says he challenged his players to focus on details and fundamentals and play a complete game from the opening whistle to the final one. 

The Bluestreaks will face Central Heights in Week 4, looking to continue their perfect start, while the Vikings will be looking for their third win. West says Central Heights has some quality receivers, so his defense will need to be prepared for their route running and find ways to put pressure on the quarterback. 

Neodesha will be on the road for the third time in four weeks and will complete a road-heavy stretch after Friday, with only one more away game remaining on the schedule for the rest of the season.

The West Elk Patriots and head coach Ian Denton look to rebound after a 44-18 rivalry loss to Sedan last Friday.

The Patriots were looking to avenge their 2025 defeat to the Blue Devils, but Sedan pulled away late in the second half, dropping West Elk to 1-2.

Denton says several players had to step into unfamiliar positions because of injuries. Despite trailing by just 10 points in the fourth quarter, the Patriots couldn’t capitalize on their long drives to put pressure on Sedan.

Injuries have hampered the Patriots this season, with several players sidelined. However, Denton says freshman running back Carson Tindle did a great job stepping up and filling in amid some unforeseen absences.

The Patriots will travel to face the Southeast Lancers this Friday, looking to get back to .500 while continuing to focus on getting their injured players healthy.

The Coffeyville Red Ravens’ men’s and women’s soccer teams both have winning records as they approach the halfway point of their seasons.

The men’s team sits at 3-2-3 after opening the year 2-0, but has struggled to finish games, with ties becoming a familiar result over the past few weeks. Coffeyville is coming off a 6-1 win over Seward County and will host conference leader Cowley this Saturday, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m.

The women’s soccer team is 6-2-1 after a 3-0 road loss to Butler last night. The Red Ravens opened the season 5-0 and remain among the top teams in the Kansas Jayhawk Conference. The loss was just their second of the year, and they’ll host Cowley on Saturday, with kickoff set for 6 p.m.

Meanwhile, the CCC volleyball team enters the second half of its season at 8-12. After starting the year a few wins above .500, the Red Ravens have gone 3-7 over their past 10 matches and currently sit ninth in the conference.

Coffeyville is coming off a four-set loss to Independence yesterday evening and will return to action tomorrow against Northeast Community College in Arkansas, with first serve set for 4:30 p.m.

Sedan High School football is heading into week four looking to make it three wins in a row after beating West Elk 44-18.

It was Homecoming night for Sedan and Head Coach Mick Holt says the team came out a little flat. Sedan would outscore West Elk 24-6 in the second half to secure the win. The Blue Devils look to make it three wins in a row as the take on Flinthills on Friday. Holt says both teams may be 2-1 but the Mustangs were close to being 3-0.

This is Sedan's first district game of the season.

Labette County High School football is heading into week four coming off a 29-28 win over Emporia on Homecoming Night.

Trailing 28-21 in the fourth quarter the Grizzlies would score a touchdown to make it 28-27 and then chose to go for two to take the lead. Head Coach Bradley Argabright says he knew before the scored the touchdown they would go for two.  Labette heads on the road for the first time this season taking on 3-0 5A Washington. Argabright says they have been one of the better teams in their conference the last few seasons.

This is Labette's first of three straight road games.

Cherryvale head coach Harry Hester reached a major milestone Friday, as the Chargers earned a 54-8 Homecoming victory over Bluestem.

With the win, Hester now stands alone as the winningest head coach in Cherryvale football history, passing Tom Harrell with 77 victories.

The victory moves Cherryvale to 2-1 on the season, and Hester was humble in the moment, giving credit to his players and coaching staff for making the accomplishment possible. 

The Chargers will be on the road to face Galena this Friday. The Bulldogs are still looking for their first win of the season, but Hester says not to let the records deceive, especially as district play begins. 

In his 14th year at the helm in Cherryvale, Hester will have more opportunities to add to the win record as the Chargers look to begin district play with a strong performance.

The Fredonia Yellowjackets secured their first victory of the season last Friday, defeating Northeast 56-18. The win also marked head coach Lucus Lanning’s first victory as head coach of the Yellowjackets.

Fredonia was coming off a tough loss to Caney Valley in Week 2 and responded with a convincing win over the Vikings, who were looking to improve to 2-1.

Lanning says his team did a good job of sharing the ball with different players and finished strong after coming out of halftime a bit slow. 

Fredonia’s defense also caused havoc across the field, and Lanning says defensive coordinator Jared Ratzlaff did a good job of putting together a scheme for Northeast. 

The Yellowjackets will host the Humboldt Cubs this Friday, looking to get back to .500 against a team coming off its own tough loss to the Bullpups.

The Kansas State Wildcats and Kansas Jayhawks women’s soccer teams are preparing for their next matchups after opening conference play.

The Wildcats are off to their best start in program history under second-year head coach Colleen Corbin, opening the season 5-1-3 with a strong showing in non-conference play.

After winning their first four games, K-State has gone 1-1-3 since then and dropped its first Big 12 game to Houston, 3-0. The Wildcats will have a chance to bounce back tomorrow against Arizona at home, with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, Kansas opened conference play with a 1-1 draw against Cincinnati. The Jayhawks had won three straight before facing the Bearcats last Friday, and the tie moves them to 6-2-1 on the season.

Kansas will also play tomorrow, hosting Arizona State as it looks to get back in the win column. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

The Independence Bulldogs suffered a 38-26 loss to the Fort Scott Tigers in their home matchup Friday night.

Following a Week 2 loss to Augusta, the Bulldogs were looking to rebound and get back above .500 against a familiar opponent they defeated 15-8 last season.

Friday’s contest featured plenty of scoring, with both teams trading touchdowns and entering halftime tied at 14. Coming into the game, head coach Kendall Fiscus says his team needed to be prepared for Fort Scott’s offensive and defensive lines, along with its strong ground game.

The game opened up in the second half, as Fort Scott scored three touchdowns to take a 38-20 lead into the fourth quarter. Fiscus says the Tigers are a relentless team and that playing a full four quarters would be key to coming away with a win.

The Bulldogs would score again to cut into the lead, but couldn't find the end zone again, falling by 12. The loss drops Independence to 1-2 on the season. The Bulldogs will look to get back to an even record in Week 4 when they host the Field Kindley Tornado.

The Erie Red Devils and head coach David Pitts are coming off a 66-12 loss to the South Sumner Outlaws.

The Red Devils were looking for their second consecutive win after an 82-36 showing against Pleasanton in Week 2, but were unable to slow down the Outlaws' offense.

Down 33 points early in the first half, Pitts says he began to see some of his players drop their heads, but was proud of their fight and grit as they continued to compete and make plays. 

Pitts also says he liked how his players flew around the field with aggression, and pointed out tight end Evan Dillinger for having a great run after the catch en route to a big 60-yard touchdown. 

The Red Devils will face the Udall Eagles on the road Friday. Udall is still looking for its first win of the season, while Erie will look to get back to .500.

The Kansas Jayhawks volleyball team is coming off a pair of sweeps over Ole Miss and Grand Canyon in the Jayhawk Classic, improving to 7-3 on the season.

The pair of wins mark Kansas' sixth straight three-set victory after a slow start to the year.

Following the match against Ole Miss, head coach Matt Ulmer says his team came out with some aggressiveness but was able to settle down and find its offensive rhythm in the first and third sets.

As Kansas prepares to begin Big 12 play, Ulmer says his players are building better connections and chemistry, while he would also like to see more consistency in the serving game.

Kansas will open conference play Friday when it hosts the Houston Cougars at Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena. First serve is scheduled for 6 p.m.

The Kansas City Chiefs outlasted the visiting Indianapolis Colts Sunday, as Patrick Mahomes engineered a seven-play, 46-yard drive to put Harrison Butker in position to knock through a 40-yard field goal for a 33-30 overtime victory.

The Chiefs and Colts traded leads throughout the first half, with Indianapolis carrying a narrow 20-17 advantage into the break. Kansas City came out strong after halftime, putting together an 80-yard touchdown drive capped by a one-yard pass to Jalen Royals in the end zone for the first touchdown of his career.

Kansas City never trailed again, though Indianapolis managed to even the score twice, including late in regulation and again in overtime. With a little over three minutes remaining in the extra period, the Chiefs got one final opportunity, and Butker’s kick secured the win and moved Kansas City to 2-0.

Mahomes finished with three touchdown passes and 382 passing yards, while Kenneth Walker eclipsed 100 rushing yards for the second consecutive game. Travis Kelce also turned in a 101-yard performance and added a touchdown.

The Chiefs will head to Miami next week to take on the Dolphins in Week 3. Pregame coverage begins at 11 a.m., with kickoff set for noon on the Mighty 690.

The Labette County Grizzlies and head coach Bradley Argabright eked out a 29-28 Homecoming victory over the visiting Emporia Spartans Friday night.

The Grizzlies found the end zone midway through the first quarter and carried a seven-point lead into the second, but Emporia’s offense found its rhythm and scored 20 unanswered points to take control of the game.

Coming into the matchup, Argabright says the Spartans were well-coached and had an established running game, along with a quarterback capable of making plays through the air. 

Down 13 at halftime, Labette County fought its way back and took a one-point lead midway through the third quarter. Argabright says he wasn’t concerned about the Homecoming festivities becoming a distraction as his team battled back late in the game. 

The Grizzlies scored the go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter and converted the two-point attempt to take the lead for good. Labette County then stopped Emporia twice on downs to preserve the 29-28 win. The Grizzlies improve to 2-1 and will hit the road for the first time next week to face Washington.

The Sedan Blue Devils and head coach Mick Holt picked up a big rivalry victory during Homecoming week, defeating the West Elk Patriots 44-18.

Both teams traded scores in a chaotic second quarter that featured five total touchdowns, with Sedan taking a one-possession lead into halftime at 20-12.

Entering the matchup, Holt says his team couldn’t afford to overlook any opponent, especially a rival like West Elk. He pointed to the Patriots’ strong backfield and offensive line as areas Sedan needed to prepare for. 

The Blue Devils held onto their lead over the final two quarters, including a 24-point outburst in the last 12 minutes. Holt says his team was ready for the challenge, with both squads coming off victories and looking to build momentum. 

The win moves Sedan to 2-1, and the Blue Devils will continue their homestand this Friday against Flinthills as they aim for their third victory of the season in Week 4.

The K-State Wildcats improved to 3-0 Saturday, overcoming a slow start at Bill Snyder Family Stadium to earn a 31-20 victory over the Tulane Green Wave.

Head coach Collin Klein says his defense gave up some yardage to Tulane, but he was proud of how the Wildcats forced the Green Wave to settle for field goals, which he believes played an important role in the outcome.

K-State will hit the road for the first time this season when the Wildcats travel to Cincinnati this Saturday to begin Big 12 play. Coverage will be on the Mighty 690.

Meanwhile, the Kansas Jayhawks dropped to 1-2 after falling to Arizona State 24-17 in London, England.

Kansas struggled to get its offense going until the fourth quarter, but couldn’t do enough to overcome the Sun Devils. Head coach Lance Leipold says consistency remains an issue on that side of the ball, though the Jayhawks have shown flashes of success.

The Jayhawks will have a bye week to work on areas that need improvement before returning home to face Middle Tennessee on October 3, ahead of the start of Big 12 play.

The Coffeyville Red Ravens football team dropped a back-and-forth non-conference matchup with the Iowa Central Tritons 31-27 Saturday at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Iowa Central opened the scoring with a three-yard scoop-and-score after recovering a fumble near the Coffeyville end zone. The Red Ravens responded later in the first quarter when John Nicholas connected with Tyler Jackson for a highlight-reel, one-handed touchdown catch on third-and-goal from the nine.

After the extra point was unsuccessful, Coffeyville trailed 7-6. The teams traded scores from there, with Nicholas finding Jayden Howard for a 37-yard touchdown just before halftime to give the Red Ravens a 12-10 lead.

The Tritons scored on their first possession of the second half before returning a Nicholas interception 43 yards for a touchdown to build a 24-12 advantage.

Coffeyville answered in the fourth quarter after backup quarterback Marco Rodriguez connected with tight end Keith Jones for a touchdown, Jones’ first catch and touchdown of the season. TJ Ward then scored on a two-yard run, and a successful two-point conversion put the Red Ravens ahead 27-24 with 5:24 remaining.

Iowa Central drove down the field late in the fourth quarter and faced fourth-and-goal from the three-yard line with just over a minute remaining, but a defensive holding penalty at the end of the play on Coffeyville gave the Tritons a first down, and they scored on the next play with 52 seconds left to reclaim the lead.

An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the touchdown celebration forced Iowa Central to kick off from its own 15, and Jayden Howard returned the ball to the Tritons’ 41-yard line to give Coffeyville one final opportunity.

Rodriguez and the Red Ravens moved the ball to the 12-yard line with two seconds remaining, but a cross-field throw to Jackson in the back of the end zone fell incomplete as Iowa Central held on for the 4 point victory. 

The loss moves Coffeyville to 1-3 on the season and 1-0 in conference play. The Red Ravens will host Garden City next week at Veterans Memorial Stadium, with pregame coverage beginning at 12:30 p.m. and kickoff set for 1 p.m. on US 98.
