Roundabout
project set to roll
Tues., May 27
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT The Kansas Department of
Transportation (KDOT) plans to begin
a project to update the roundabout at
the north junction of U.S. 169 and U.S.
59 on Tuesday, May 27.
The work will enlarge the lanes and
realign the entrances and exits to the
roundabout, which is south of Garnett.
The contractor will build a temporary road east of the roundabout
to serve as the detour. During early
phases of the project, U.S. 59 drivers
will follow a signed detour on U.S.
169 Business (6th Avenue) through
Garnett. KDOT expects the project to
be completed by mid-July 2026, weather
permitting.
KDOT awarded the $5.9 million
contract to Clarkson Construction
Company, of Kansas City, Missouri.
People with questions may contact
Construction Manager Ian Stringham,
785-433-6116, or Public Information
Officer Priscilla Petersen, 620-902-6433.
A vehicle sits stalled at a low-water crossing on 1300 Road in
Washington Township after its occupants made a dangerous exit
prior to their rescue during Mondays thunderstorm. The Anderson
County Sheriffs Department is using the non-injury incident as a
teaching moment to illustrate the dangers of attempting to cross
storm-swollen creeks.

Dangerous waters
Group escapes serious
injury when SUV stalls amid
crossing in Monday deluge
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Fast-rising water from
Mondays two-and-a half inch rain
deluge totaled a four wheel drive
vehicle and nearly proved tragic for
its occupants.
A press release from the Anderson
County Sheriffs Office described the
water rescue near a low-water cross-
ing in the area of 1300 and Texas
Roads north of Welda as a fortunate
warning dont enter flooded areas,
no matter how shallow they may
seem.
Emergency personnel from multiple departments including Anderson
County Water Rescue retrieved several occupants of the SUV after the
vehicle stalled in high water at the
crossing. The driver and passengers
abandoned the vehicle and made it to
higher ground but were still stranded by the rising waters and required
rescue efforts from responders. One
occupant was taken to the hospital
with minor concerns, the others were
assessed at the scene and released.
Recent rains have saturated soil
in the local area, leading to fast-rising storm runoff levels in low areas.
Some 2.5 inches of rain hammered
the local area Monday in a thunderstorm that brought the weeks
total rainfall to nearly 3.5 inches,
according to Mesonet precipitation measurements at Kansas State
University.
While tragedy was averted in
Mondays incident, the ACSO state-
ment reminded area drivers of the
perils of high, fast-moving water.
Driving into flooded roadways is
extremely dangerous, the statement
said. As little as six inches of moving water can knock over an adult,
and just 12 inches can carry away
most vehicles. Floodwaters are often
deeper and faster than they appear,
and the roadway underneath may
be damaged or completely washed
away.
Anderson County emergency officials urge all motorists to follow the
Turn Around, Dont Drown message.

dience of the one man (Adam)
the many were made sinners,
so also through the obedience of
the one man, (Jesus) the many
will be made righteous. Jesus
obedience and submission
to the Father was the direct
result of his love for the Father.
The degree of love we have for
Jesus is in direct proportion to
the extent we have separated
ourselves from the distractions
this world affords us. Where
does Jesus fit into our life? I
believe a good rule of thumb
would be we should follow the
apostles example. We must

from Ephesians 1 about being

gives us every spiritual blessing we need. He chose us and
adopted us as His spiritual

In Acts 5 we read the account
of the apostles appearing before
the Sanhedrin after they are
arrested for teaching the people. They had been warned not
to teach in the name of Jesus
Christ. Peter and the rest of
the apostles replied to the men.
We must obey God rather than
man. We cannot help but wonder what inspired the apostles
in the face of imprisonment
and persecution to speak so
boldly about Christ. Certainly
the apostles had seen everything that Jesus did as well as
all that happened to him. But
Jesus was not with them now.
I believe we get a key verse
from Jesus in John 5:19 that
must have made an impression
on the apostles when he says. I
tell you the truth, the Son can
do nothing by himself; he can
do only what he sees the Father
doing, because whatever the
Father does the Son also does.
This is just one example of the
praise, reverence and admiration Jesus displayed for the
Father. The apostles witnessed
how obedient and submissive
Jesus was to the Father. He
showed the apostles they must
learn how to trust the Father
instead of themselves.

OPINION
Dems drown Biden in depths of Trump hate
Hate is powerful, but until former president
Joe Bidens admission this week that he was riddled with cancer, most Americans would have
thought Democrats hatred of Donald Trump
and their maniacal lust for spinning the country
into Eurosocialism would have stopped before
their lies and deceit sacrificed the head of their
own party.
Now we know better, and the end of the storm
is nowhere in sight. The revelation suddenly
provides answers to a lot of questions. To trivialize: the cats out of the bag, and Democrats
may pay for this longer than the Republicans
paid for Watergate.
Health experts have only macabre contravention at the flimsy
assertions
For Bidens unconscionable
by Team Biden
that his cancer friends, family and close
was only discovered since he left associates, stopping Trump
office. Some doc- made sacrificing Joe From
tors who treat
prostate cancer Scranton worthwhile.
every day say
he likely had it
for years; certainly prior to the circus act 2024
Democrat election campaign. That fact, and the
fact that his handlers and the mainstream media
hid it and ignored its impact in an attempt to
maintain control of the presidency, is the biggest scandal in American politics certainly in 50
years, and possibly for the past century.
Biden wasnt just thrown under the bus for
his partys ambitions; he was quite literally
sacrificed like the workers at the Chernobyl
nuclear disaster in Ukraine were sacrificed to
deadly doses of radiation in order to extinguish
a nuclear fire that threatened to burn a hole
all the way to the center of the Earth. To the
Leftists in Bidens circle feverishly trying to
keep Donald Trump out of the presidency, the
threat was comparable.
The week brought the answer to questions
that have perplexed pundits on either side
ever since Bidens Covid tag-team victory over
Trump in 2020. Bidens career to that point was
dubbed center-left Democrats themselves were
surprised at the left-full-rudder turn of his presidency, which usurped even Barack Obamas
second term transition away from American
norms and toward Eurosocialism. When the
Right and others wondered aloud who was
really running the country in Joe Bidens cogent
absence, it was and still is a legitimate question.
Truth rained down with the Biden cancer
announcement an effort aimed at heading off
criticism sure to come from the publication of
Original Sin, the tell-all book by Jake Tapper
and Alex Thompson. The book lays out in surprisingly candid fashion the extent to which
Bidens own cabinet and close associates were
concerned about his mental and physical fitness
for office and the fact that mainstream journalists, in Trump-hate complicity covered up the
story.
Why the years-long subterfuge? Because
their visceral hatred for Donald Trump surpassed not only their concern for the future
of the country, but the literal survival of Joe
Biden himself. An inner cabal determined policy, chose positions and ran the autopen that ran
the country whether Biden realized it or not. To
them, a shadow presidency was justifiable if the
alternative was a hole to the center of the Earth.
Democrats brayed Democracy is on the ballot,
and expected Americans to vote for someone
who wasnt even in charge.
For Bidens unconscionable friends, family
and close associates, stopping Trump made sacrificing Joe From Scranton worthwhile. Hate
brought darkness to their souls, just like 1John
2:9-17 relays:
9 Whoever says he is in the light and hates his
brother is still in darkness. 10 Whoever loves his
brother abides in the light, and in him[a] there
is no cause for stumbling. 11 But whoever hates
his brother is in the darkness and walks in the
darkness, and does not know where he is going,
because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
How sad that even in the light of this week,
the darkness of their hate prevails. ###

Dear Garnett City Council members – I live
inside the city limits of Garnett, and have complained to law enforcement, the City of Garnett,
and my fellow residents in Garnett about the
noise every day and night in Garnett. The
primary issues are with automobiles, pickup
trucks, motorcycles, and large trucks inside the
city limits. Most of these vehicles are running
straight pipes, glass packs, headers or no mufflers at all, and with the larger trucks they are
utilizing jake brakes within the city limits. In
addition, there are people who have their car,
truck, and motorcycle stereos so loud it rattles
windows in houses. Ive personally heard semis

Community non-profits need your help in uncertain times
In our small townand in others just like
it across rural Americaneighbors may live
steps, fields, or even miles apart. But no matter
the distance, the need for connection and community ties us together.
When hardship knocks and hope feels far
away, its often local nonprofits that quietly
show up, answering the call no one else hears.
Whether theyre delivering food to a family,
offering emergency relief, or simply checking
in on an isolated elder, these unsung heroes are
there. They bring comfort, restore dignity, and
remind us were not alone. In quiet crises and
everyday struggles, they are the lifeline that
holds our communities together.
But now, many of these nonprofits are facing
one of the biggest challenges in their history.
As federal funding becomes less predictable and
in some cases disappears altogether, rural nonprofits are being asked to do more with fewer
resources. And while the needs in our community havent gone away – in many cases, theyve
grown – the support to meet them is shrinking.
This moment calls for all of us to act. Charitable
giving has always been a vital thread in the fabric of rural life. Today, its not just important,
its essential.
At the Garnett Community Foundation, were
committed to helping our nonprofit community
bridge the growing gap left by reduced federal
support, and we want to empower donors to
join us in responding with both compassion and

strategy. Here are three meaningful ways you
can make an immediate and lasting difference
in our rural community:
1. Make an unrestricted gift to the Garnett
Community Foundation Unrestricted gifts provide the most flexibility for responding to the
most pressing needs in real time. These gifts
direct resources where they can do the most
good – helping local nonprofits stay strong, adapt
to change, and continue serving the community
effectively.
2. Activate or create your Donor-Advised
Fund (DAF) If you have a donor-advised fund,
now is a powerful time to use it. Your support
can help local nonprofits fill critical funding
gaps and continue providing essential services.
If youre new to this giving tool, the Garnett
Community Foundation can help you establish
a donor-advised fund that aligns with your
values and goals. Its a flexible, strategic way to
make an impact now and in the future.
3. Leave a Legacy Gift Building our communitys long-term resilience starts now. Including
the Garnett Community Foundation in your will,
estate plans, or through a Qualified Charitable
Distribution (QCD) from your IRA ensures that
your values and your impact endure. Legacy
gifts like these help create a stable, permanent
source of funding to meet tomorrows needsno
matter what happens in Washington.
The future of rural nonprofits and their ability to serve our community depends on the action
we take today. These organizations are the backbone of essential services, and they cant continue their work without strong local support. By
investing in local nonprofits, we not only reduce
their reliance on uncertain federal or outside
funding, but we also empower them to grow and
sustain themselves independently. Together, we
can ensure that no nonprofit is forced to turn
someone in need away simply because help was
just out of reach.
Lets meet this moment with generosity and
show what community truly means.

9 things Americans deserve to know about the Biden cover-up
It is now socially safe to state the obvious
out loud. Former President Joe Biden was not
physically or mentally healthy enough to be
president. And based on his 2020 presidential
campaign when he was often hidden from public
view and mostly stayed home, Biden was probably not even well enough to campaign.
The reason that talk of Bidens poor health
makes the left bristle is because it triggers a big
question that can only lead to possibly the biggest presidential scandal in our nations history.
Who was acting as president in the shadows,
running the country from Jan. 20, 2021 to Jan. 20,
2025 while Biden held office? That key question
leads to more detailed questions. The American
people deserve answers.
Who was making policy?
This is the main question. Who was calling
the shots? Was it mainly a single person, a
small team, or a total free-for-all for bureaucrat-led agencies to make any policies they wanted with little, if any, oversight?
Was it family members? Former President
Barack Obama staff members who permeated
Bidens inner circle? Appointees? Or a combination of all of these?
Biden was inaugurated, but the American
people did not know who was acting as president. The situation created an administration
with no accountability. Dont like the decisions
coming out of the White House? Go blame
Biden. He is too isolated to hear the complaints.
The people pulling the strings stay hidden
and shielded from blame.
Biden struggled to communicate, but managed to issue 162 executive orders.
Was it Bidens job-killing idea to revoke the
permit to build the Keystone XL Pipeline on
his first day? Was it Bidens plan to reverse
President Donald Trumps immigration orders
on Day One, opening the borders for four years?
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BETH BRELJE THE FEDERALIST
Or was he advised by more assertive staffers
who told him what to do? How can we be sure
this never happens again?
Who operated the autopen?
How many people operated the autopen, one
or many? Was Biden told about everything
signed in his name? Was he unable to write his
own name, or incapable of understanding the
content of the documents? Do items signed with
autopen in the name of a president who was
not cognitively capable to make decisions stand
as legitimate, or can they be challenged? Rep.
James Comer, R-Ky. last week announced the
House Committee on Oversight and Government
Reform will investigate this question.
What was former Vice President Kamala Harris role?
The vice president is the natural choice to
fill roles when the president is not capable. But
Harris was given mostly fluffy assignments. She
is not capable of articulating complicated concepts.
When Bidens handlers put Harris in charge
of the border, she was criticized because she did
little and nothing changed. It was not until she
became the presidential candidate that she final-
ly went to the U.S.-Mexican border in September
2024, while campaigning.
Harris has always maintained she did not
detect any problems with Bidens health. Was
Harris one of Bidens handlers, or was she taking directions from the same people who were
managing Biden?
Who coordinated Bidens live events
and was still able to sleep at night?
The clearest public sign of Bidens decline
was his behavior at live events. Impromptu
question and answer sessions were limited. The
measure of a good speech from Biden was not
the substance, but if he managed to get through
it without an off-topic story of questionable
truth or a newsworthy gaffe.
Biden was given notecards with instructions
that a seasoned politician should not need, such
as how to get to the podium, where to go after
the speech, which reporters to call on, and
his answer. But if a guy cant figure out how to
get off stage, he should not oversee the codes to
launch a nuclear war.
Who wrote Bidens scripts? Who decided
what policy answers Biden would give and what
are they doing now? Who decided which media
to call on?
Why did they let Biden debate?
The presidential debate was held in June
2024, which is earlier than usual. Before Biden
and Trump debated, Biden shirked his presidential duties, spending days at Camp David practicing on a replica debate stage with political
handlers.Surely they saw Biden was bombing in
practice. Did they want the public to see Biden
fail?
Immediately after the debate, propaganda
media was in lock step, reporting Biden tanked
and there is no way he could continue to run for

for the police department as well as the City

violations, littering, etc. I have done some
research and have found many other small
communities around our area have very similar ordinances. I believe its time the city of
Garnett grew up.

through the Review, there isnt any photos, not

Mystery tour continues…
4 April 2025
After spending the night
in Burselson,Texas, we are on
our way home. We woke up to
rain this morning. In fact we
are now driving in a terrible
rain and wind thunderstorm.
Traffic is almost at a crawl. Our
first stop of the day is at 10:00
a.m., at the Chickasaw Cultural
Center Museum in Oklahoma.
It was still raining, so we didnt
get very much walking in of
this historic site. The Museum
was very educational.
We ate lunch in their cafe.
Indian Tacos and Chowder as
main dishes.
At 1:20 p.m. we departed in
pouring rain. We soon ran into
lots of road construction and
driving was quite challenging
and slow for several miles.
Our mid afternoon stop was
at 3:00 p.m. in Perry, Ks. at
Braums. Guess what time it
was? Ice cream time! Thank
goodness the rain has finally
stopped. As we traveled on
towards home, we all played
Musical Bingo. It was a game
that neither Kay or I had ever
played before. It was a lot of fun
and I won three games and Kay
two. At 6:10 p.m. we arrived
back in Yoder, Ks after a wonderful Mystery Trip.

home. We stopped in Iola at
the McDonalds for breakfast
and soon we were on our way
to Garnett. Upon arriving we

SCHOOL…
FROM PAGE 1
capped at 30 students initially.
The plan is, as long as we
meet our enrollment goal, well
be building for the following
year here in Garnett.
The development of the
local school coincides with
whats become an era of ongoing discussions in the Kansas
Legislature regarding School
Choice and the potentiality
of tax-generated individual
student funding so-called
vouchers being applied to
parents choice of educational
options, as opposed to those tax
funds being restricted to traditional public school offerings.
Mitchell says school choice is
a side issue which may or may
not eventually affect Yutzy
School.
The whole voucher discussion is extremely complicated,
he said. There are so many ins
and outs of that. Regardless
how School Finance eventually plays out, Mitchell says
the school wont attach to any
federal or state funding source
with strings attached.
We want to be a Christianbased school. We just want to
be up front this is who we are
and this is what were doing.
We dont want to be backed
into a corner where we have
to teach things that we dont
agree with. Mitchell said families dont have to be members
of any certain church or religion or even be believers for
that matter though attendees understand Christian standards will apply.
There will be Bible taught
every day. We will pray at the
beginning and end of every day
and over lunch. If you dont
want to pray you dont have
to. We wont force any of our
students to do that, but we do
expect them to be respectful
during those times.
Right now Mitchell serves
as the only instructor for the
school, with a new hire hopefully coming on in a few weeks.
But Mitchell says the school
will rely heavily on what it
calls a Parent Partner Program
a 54 percent tuition reduc-
tion to families regardless of
the number of their kids that
attend the school, if a parent
will volunteer an hour a day at
the school, preferably during
the teaching time.
At our core our belief is that
parents need to be involved,
Mitchell said, Then wed better make ways for parents to
be involved. Besides cutting
the need for paid staff, Mitchell
said that plan also helps parents accentuate classroom lessons with at-home projects or
practical family lessons.
Parents who choose not to
be Parent Partners pay $8,000 a
year for their first student who
attends Yutzy School, with a
sliding tuition scale the more
kids from a family who attend.
The school year runs basically
the same schedule as public
school, August through May,
but theres no instruction of
Friday thats a day the school
sets aside as a family day.

Kansas Supreme Court Justice resigned
– System broke to select a replacement
Legislative Update by State
Senator Caryn Tyson
May 9, 2025
Kansas Supreme Court
Justice Wilson has resigned.
You will get to see how broken
the current system is for selecting a replacement. It has been
reported that 15 people have
applied for the position. The
names are public. The State
Supreme Court Nominating
Commission will interview
applicants in June. The
Commission is accepting written comments from the public. All of the information can
be found at https://kscourts.
gov/Newsroom/NewsReleases/News/2025-NewsReleases/May/Supreme-CourtNominating-Commission-tointerview-a.
The current system to select
a new justice may sound good,
but lets take a closer look.
There are 9 members on the
Commission, two from each
congressional district and one
chairman. Four members, one
from each district, are elected
by members of the bar (lawyers) from that district. The
other four members, who
are not lawyers, are appointed to the Commission by the
Governor. The chairman of
the Commission is a statewide
election by members of the bar.
The Commission interviews
justice applicants and presents
three names to the Governor
to select a replacement. Yes,
the interviews are public, and
the Commission is accepting
comments from the public.
However, the public has no say.
But the good news is you will
have a say as to changing the
process with a Constitutional
Amendment that will be on the
ballot August 4, 2026, allowing
the option to elect justices.
Some say that electing justices
makes it political. Isnt the
Commission selection process
political? From 1861 to 1958,
Kansas elected State Supreme
Court Justices. It was changed
after Governor Hall resigned
in January of 1957 and his Lt.
Gov, who become Governor,
appointed Hall to the Kansas
Supreme Court. Hall had lost a
primary challenge, and before
the end of his term, the maneuver was executed. Talk about
political. After that happened
the process with lawyers and
a governor in control was put
in place. The powers that be in
the late 1950s felt that Kansas
voters were not smart enough
to select their supreme court
justices. This process has failed
Kansans. You may have heard,
the U.S. Supreme Court has
allegedly overturned more
Kansas Supreme Court rulings
than any other state per capita.
Wind and Solar inverters
and batteries have mysterious,
undocumented communication
devices in some Chinese-made
equipment. Its been reported
the devices could be remotely
accessed, bypassing firewalls.
The devices were designed to
connect solar panel arrays and
windmills to power grids. The
devices can do more than spy
on the U.S. power grid [it]
could allow an attacker to shut
down power grids. To protect
the people of Kansas the legislature passed language that
bans government purchases
of drones and drone technology from foreign adversaries.
There are also restrictions of
land purchases and oversight
of foreign land ownership by
requiring registration. The
language didnt go far enough,
but I am hopeful that people
will realize the threats to our
nation, and we can strengthen
Kansas laws for our safety.
Legislative Post Audit
presented a report last week
on the selection process the
Department of Commerce used
to distribute Federal American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
COVID-19 grant money. The
report states, The Department
of Commerce evaluated BASE
1.0 grant program applicants
using a standardized scoring
rubric, but it didnt consistently follow its process or document the Secretarys final
award decisions. The report is
disturbing, and it is not the first
report to point to problems with
the Department and how they
are distributing funds. Another
report (audit results) of a BASE
1.0 grant of $3 million was
awarded to a Johnson County
Company, SOFTwarfare, who
was suposed to open a facility in Barton County. The
Department issued grant
money even though the companys matching fund expenses
also differed from the specifics
of the award agreement. The
Department and the business
denied the report, but the two
reports do not bode well.
It is an honor and a privilege
to serve as your 12th District
State Senator.

There won't be a ribbon-cutting or any excitement when
the Richmond Community
Museum opens for the season
over Memorial Day weekend,
May 24th and 25th, but there is
something to celebrate some
more space that is dedicated to
schools. Open hours are 1-4 and
there is no admission charge
although donations are appreciated.
The School Room contains
all the artifacts from country
and Richmond schools that
were previously in the main
museum area, plus there is now
some room for Central Heights
mementoes to be added.
"It's a small room so there's
no space for big items," said
Dennis Peters, vice-president,
who helped his son, Mickel
Peters finish the bare-bones
area into a handsome display
area.
When the main room of
about 50ft.X50ft. was rehabbed
from the very old lumberyard
in 2005-2008, Dennis was the
lead man and Mickel, who
was in high school then, was
his dad's main helper. But 17
years makes a lot of difference,
so their roles reversed on this

complete set of Central Heights
yearbooks, but not many from

Morrison attends 2025 National
Preparedness Summit in Texas
Cassie Morrison, public
health nurse with Southeast
Kansas Multi-County Health
Department
at Garnett,
recently
attend
the
2025 National
Preparedness
Summit, held
from April
29th-May 2nd
at the Henry
Morrison
B. Gonzalez
Convention
Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Hosted by the National
Association of County and City
Health Officials (NACCHO),
this annual event brought
together over 2,500 professionals from public health, emergency management, healthcare, academia, and government sectors to discuss strategies for enhancing disaster
preparedness and response.
The theme for this years
summit,
Pathways
to
Recovery in the Aftermath of
Disasters, emphasized the
critical yet often overlooked
phase of disaster recovery.
Sessions explored various
facets of recovery, including
ensuring equity, strengthening
cross-sector relationships, and
integrating recovery planning
into preparedness efforts.
Morrison has filled her role
at the local health department
for more than two years and
is heavily involved with local
emergency management. The
summit featured a diverse
array of over 300 plenaries,
workshops, learning sessions,
poster presentations, and town
halls. These sessions provided
attendees with evidence-based
practices, innovative tools, and
collaborative opportunities to
enhance their communities
resilience.
Beyond the formal sessions,
the summit offered ample networking opportunities, allowing professionals to share experiences and forge partnerships
aimed at improving national
health security. Morrison met
and enjoyed speaking with
many individuals from all
over the country. The vibrant
setting of San Antonio, with
its rich cultural heritage and
iconic River Walk, provided an
inspiring backdrop for these
critical conversations.
Attending
the
2025
Preparedness Summit was an
enlightening experience that
underscored the importance
of internal recovery planning
in disaster preparedness.
The insights gained and connections made will undoubtedly inform and enhance my
approach to emergency management for Anderson County
moving forward, Morrison
said.
I would like to thank the
SEK Multi-County Health
Department Board of Directors
and the Kansas Department
of Health and Environment
Preparedness Program for
allowing me this wonderful
opportunity, she said.

Lady Vikings heading to state
Crest softball loses regional opener
ROSALIA The Central
Heights softball team did
exactly as they were expected,
cruising through their regional
bracket to earn a trip to state
next week.
The top-seeded Vikings
(23-4) opened play with a dominant 14-0 win over #8 seed
Yates Center/Buffalo-Altoona
Midway Wildcats (6-17).
Pitcher Cely Crump threw
a no-hitter, walking just one
batter and struck out 10.
Despite the lopsided win, the
team only tallied 3 hits but benefited greatly by 15 walks and 7
errors by the Wildcats defense.
The momentum carried
OSWEGO The Crest Lancers
(1-21, #7 seed) lost 17-5 in
Tuesday's action against
Uniontown (14-9, #1 seed),
but the score doesn't tell the
unusual nature of how the
game unfolded.
Despite losing by 12 runs,
Crest outhit Uniontown 16-3
in the loss and neither team
committed an error. Where
over into a round 2 win over
Southern Lyon County 9-0.
Crump was dominant on the
mound as she struck out 19
batters and allowed only 4 hits
over the 7 innings.
Melaney Chrisjohn and
Addison Roullette led the
attack with 3 hits each. They
combined to score 3 runs and
drive in 3 more.
In the regional championship the Vikings rolled over the
Lebo/Waverly Wolfdogs 16-6.
The Vikings led 9-6 heading into the bottom of the fifth
inning before tallying 3 runs in
the 5th and 4 more in the sixth
to blow the game open.
The defense behind Crump
let her down as she pitched 6
innings, allowed just 4 hits and
struck out 10. All 6 of the runs
were a result of the 7 errors
the Vikings committed in the
game.
Crump was a perfect 4 for 4,
hit a home run, scored 3 runs
and drove in 2. Lyla Hamblin
also hit a home run as part of
her 2 hits in 3 at bats.

Lady Bulldogs drop regional opener
IOLA It was a quick end
to a rebuilding year for the
Anderson
County
Lady
Bulldogs softball team as they
bowed out in the opening game
of regionals at Iola on Monday.
The Bulldogs finished the
season just 2-18 and were the
#7 seed and lost to #2 seed Iola
(16-6) by a final score of 7-0.
Not only were the Bulldogs
shut out in the finale, they
were also no-hit by Iola's pitcher, Zoie Hesse as she threw a
perfect game by not allowing a
single Bulldog to reach base.
Iola scored 4 runs in the first
and tacked on one more in the
third and 2 in the fifth.
Bulldog pitcher Khole
McCarty is charged with
the loss. McCarty pitched 2
innings, allowed 3 hits, 4 runs,
3 earned runs and struck out 3.
Maura Rockers came on
in relief and pitched the final
2 innings. Rockers allowed 2
hits, 3 runs and 2 earned runs
to close out the game.
Iola advanced to play
Jayhawk-Linn on Wednesday
night with the winner advancing to the regional championship immediately following
their game to earn a spot in the
state tournament.
Bulldogs baseball upended by Iola
GARNETT It was a disappointing finish to an up and
down year for the 16-7 Bulldogs
as they were downed at home
by Iola (17-8) last Thursday.
Anderson County was the #4
seed and Iola was the #5 seed
in the evenly matched contest.
Iola had the upper hand all
season against the Bulldogs as
they also swept a pair of games
against the Bulldogs in the middle of April.
