Trial begins
for illegal alien
accused of
attempted rape
Cantu will face either
sentencing or deportation
due to hold by ICE
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Nearly a year after
authorities say he knocked a 64 year
old Ottawa woman from her bicycle on
the Prairie spirit rail trail near Scipio
and attempted to rape her, Porfirio
Dela Cruz-Cantu will be tried on that
charge in Anderson County District
Court next week.
The trial for CruzCantu is set to begin
Wednesday
and
scheduled through
Friday. Attempted
rape in Kansas is a
severity level 3 person felony with a
potential sentence of
Cantu
about 4 to some
16 years in prison
depending on the circumstances and
the criminal record of the perpetrator.
he also faces counts of assault and
mistreatment of an elderly person.
Win or lose the illegal alien and
Mexican national who worked
at a now defunct Garnett Mexican
restaurant alongside his wife, who
admitted their status upon questioning by investigators, will be out of
American circulation. Anderson
County Attorney Steve Wilson told
the Review this week he wont negotiate any plea involving a reduction
of the attempted rape charge. Should
Cruz-Cantu be found innocent or otherwise be acquitted, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers
have a hold on him with the county
sheriffs department which will convey him immediately to their custody
for deportation.
The rape allegation has focused
a spotlight locally from the broader

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT Anderson County commissioners will
pursue a tax foreclosure sale against more than 20
properties later this fall against parcels to be published in a public notice in next weeks newspaper,
following a standing policy to seize tax delinquent
properties, sell them and hopefully put them back
on the paying tax rolls.
County counselor James Campbell told commissioners on Monday notification efforts to affected
property owners of the impending sale had motivated a large number to pay the taxes and penalties
on those properties, but a remaining 22 parcels
remained and appeared destined for the upcoming
sheriffs auction.
The countys last tax sale was in 2019, when 52
properties were put on the auction block to satisfy
their ongoing delinquencies.
Property taxes in Kansas are due December 20
(first half) and May 10 (second half). If unpaid, the
county treasurer issues delinquency notices and
adds penalties and interest. After three years of
delinquency (in most counties; some use two years
for vacant lots), the county can begin foreclosure
proceedings.
The countys legal counsel files a lawsuit in
district court to foreclose the tax lien. The court
process gives the owner and lienholders notice and
a chance to pay before judgment. If taxes remain
unpaid, the court issues a judgment and order of

GARNETT The 2025 fall corn
harvest turned tragic for an
Anderson County man Tuesday,
when he apparently became

local man Tuesday. Quick response and coordinated action among
local emergency responders was credited with saving his life.
Emergency Medical Services
Directory Troy Armstrong
confirmed the 78 year-old man
was severely injured and was
rescued after a tourniquet was
applied to stop severe bleeding
while he was entangled in the
bottom of the cart. He was extricated with the aid of a Stokes
Basket, a rigid body-length
basket that allows a patient to
be immobilized while moved
from a vertical or other precarious position to safety.
County dispatch personnel
noted the severity of the leg injury in an initial emergency alert
call about 11:35 a.m. Tuesday.
The accident was reported in a
field north of the intersection of
1500 Road and Iowa Road west
of Cedar Valley Reservoir.
A responding county sheriffs officer was able to immediately apply a tourniquet upon
his arrival on the scene and
responders managed to extricate the man from the vehicle,
the sheriffs department statement said. The victim was delivered by ambulance directly to a
waiting helicopter ambulance
at Anderson County Hospital,
according to neighbors.
The statement said the man
was transported to a hospital
trauma center in the Kansas
City Area. A statement on his
condition was not available as
of presstime.
Armstrong also credited
interagency cooperation and
pre-planned online air evac
and landing zones with what
he described as the seamless
integration of the air medical
team. The sheriffs department
release said teams had the man
free in just over 10 minutes after
arriving on scene.
Grain carts are used as a
receptacle to empty combines
when theyre near full. They
use a system of one or more
augers that work together to
quickly transfer grain from

truck or trailer. The specific

OBITUARIES
POWLS
OCTOBER 3, 1970 SEPTEMBER 5, 2025
Carmen Powls, age 54,
of Garnett, Kansas, passed
away surrounded
by loved ones, on
Friday, September
5, 2025, at St. Lukes
Hospital, in Kansas
City, Missouri.
Carmen
was
born on October 3,
1970, in Hillsboro,
Kansas, the daughter of Roger and
Marlys (Preheim)
Hofer. She grew up in the
Mennonite tradition, carrying with her a deep sense
of faith, service, and family
that guided her throughout her life. Carmen graduated from Bethel College
in 1995 with a bachelors
degree in music education
and an emphasis in piano
performance, a career she
faithfully pursued for more
than 30 years. She poured
her love and dedication
into teaching at Mont Ida,
Greeley, and Westphalia
schools, touching the lives
of nearly three generations
of families. Her colleagues
and students remember her
not only as an educator, but
also as someone who made
every person feel comfortable, capable, and cared for.
Carmen met the love
of her life, Mark Powls,
through what he calls the
power of prayer. After
setting aside dating services, Mark prayed for a
partner and soon met
Carmen at a music festival
in Uniontown, Kansas. He
was captivated by the beauty in her eyes and knew she
was the one, even though
she put off their first date
for six weeks while making
sure he was a man of integrity. Mark proposed on
Christmas Eve in 1997, and
the couple was united in
marriage on June 6, 1998, at
Trinity Mennonite Church
in Hillsboro. They shared
27 years of marriage, filled
with faith, music, and
family. This marriage was
blessed with two daughters,
Bethany and April.
Music was always at
the heart of Carmens life.
She played the piano at the
First Christian Church of
Garnett, where Mark often
joined her in worship,
memories he treasures
most. Their daughters
inherited this musical gift,
a legacy passed down from
Carmens love of song and
worship. Carmens faith
was central to her life, and
she and Mark often said the
church was their muse.
Carmen was also known
for her warmth and selflessness as a mother and
wife. She taught her daughters everything she could,
answering every question,
encouraging them, and
praying for them as they
traveled away from home.
She and Mark would stand
on the porch together,
praying for their childrens
safety as they drove off to
school or journeys beyond.
Her family recalls her
thoughtful spirit, polished
presence, wonderful hugs,
and the quiet, powerful
way she set an example for
others. Even over
this past Labor Day
weekend, while
caring for her own
health, she put her
daughters needs
first and made sure
her children were
cared for.
Carmen was an
Powls
avid gardener and
had a green thumb.
She grew a large garden,
always reminding her family to water it, and could
often be found working outside or waiting on the porch
for her daughters to arrive
home. Inside, her kitchen
was filled with the smell
of her amazing cooking.
She was especially known
for her chili. Her husband
Mark, a notoriously picky
eater, absolutely loved anything Carmen made. Mark
often said of Carmen, She
made sure everyone was
fed. Carmen loved sewing
and crafts, especially the
art of cross-stitch. These
hobbies she inherited from
her beloved mother whom
she cherished deeply.
On December 26, 2023,
Carmen was diagnosed
with a rare form of ovarian cancer. Carmen and her
family lived in the mindset that what was to come
would be hard, but full of
hope. After searching for
a homeopathic treatment,
the perfect option was
found in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This treatment was able to
keep Carmen in a comfortable state and helped her
remain more herself and
preserve her quality of life.
As her own mother said as
she faced this battle, No
matter what, I am a winner Carmen also said, I
know where Im going.
She knew that they would
one day be reunited.
Carmen lived a life of
quiet grace and steadfast love. She was deeply
thoughtful, elegant, intentional and graceful, with
the ability to make anyone
feel welcomed and able.
Her influence stretched
far beyond her family and
classroom into her community, where she shared her
love of music, education,
and faith.
Those left to rejoice in
her new life and freedom
from pain are her husband
Mark Powls; daughters
Bethany and April Powls;
brother Lance and wife

we see someone in a crisis, maybe financial, and
we help to meet their need,
it brings glory to God, and
people can see the love of
Christ through us.
Pastor Chase Riebel spoke
from 1st Peter 3:13-22 about

The only way to

God
initiates
His
plans. Most often they are
accomplished by individuals He selects. In the Old
Testament this is illustrated in the judges He raised up
after the time of the kings.
In the New Testament God
initiated His plans through
many individuals. In Luke
1 we read of the angel of
the Lord appearing to
Zechariah concerning the
birth of a son. Even though
they were well along in
years, Elizabeth gave birth
to John the Baptist as foretold by the angel. John the
Baptist was the forerunner
of the Messiah, preparing
the way. God initiated the
ministry of JesusHis
birth, life, death, resurrection, and His ascension
into heaven. Think of the
people who were involved
with Jesus in His time here
on earth: the woman at
the well, the sick woman,
those He raised from the
dead, the Pharisees, and
the Sadducees, and on and
on. Specific people helped
Jesus implement His teaching and His ministry.
Paul the Apostle, who
was an enemy of Jesus, was
transformed on the road to
Damascus. He was confronted by Jesus Himself. With
the exception of Moses,
Paul is the greatest character in the Bible. Some of the
most hardened, unlikely
people I know have become
servants of Jesus. When
these people are converted,

of the assignment willingly,
because if you are truly a
servant of Jesus you will
not refuse Him. They are
committed to that life of
service. I wonder today
how many people claim to
be Christians and sit in a
church pew but never see
the need for commitment.
They limit themselves to
being involved with Jesus
but will not commit to
being His servant. God cannot use a person who is not
committed to Him. None of
the people I mentioned earlier asked God for the task
they received. Sometimes
people mistake their own
wishes and desires as
God-ordained. God works
through people for sure,
but He does not need our
help in the ways we imagine. What He needs is our
commitment to Jesus as
our Lord and Savior. Then
He will give us our assignment.

figuration varies, but the
core function is the same:
to efficiently move large
volumes of grain without
interrupting a combines
harvest. The grain is held
in a large hopper, or tank,
designed with steep floor
slopes. This allows gravity
to funnel the grain toward
one or more floor sumps
located at the bottom of the
cart. Typically a hydraulic
flow-control gate covers
each sump, allowing the
operator to meter the grain
flow.
Lying horizontally at
the bottom of the hopper,
this auger is the first stage
of the unloading process.
When activated, a helical
screw (flighting) rotates to
pull grain from the sump
and push it toward the
front or corner of the cart.
The horizontal auger is
recessed into the floor of
the tank to allow for quick
and complete cleanout. The
drivetrain of the vehicle
towing the cart powers the
auger system through a
PTO connection, typically
using a heavy-duty gearbox
or a combination of belts
and chains.
Farm safety organizations note a number of
particular hazards in operation grain carts, including
rollover hazards, traffic
concerns in transporting
them on public roadways
and auger entanglement
risks. They stress proper
maintenance and inspection of safety devices, as
well as periodic rest for
drivers and operators to
avoid mishaps brought on
by operator fatigue.

Charlie Kirks enduring message of hope
My name is Erika Kirk. Charlie Kirk
is my husband. I first want to thank the
local, state, and federal law enforcement
who worked tirelessly to capture my husbands assassin so that he can be brought
to justice.
I want to thank the first responders who
struggled heroically to save Charles life,
and the police who acted bravely to make
sure that there were no other victims on
that terrible afternoon. I want to thank the
officers who have protected our Turning
Point USA family these past two days,

well.
My heart is
with every one
of my husbands employees who lost a
friend and a mentor. I want to thank the
staffers of his amazing Charlie Kirk show,
who helped him broadcast from this studio, this chair. Every day, he loved it. He
loved what he did.
I want to thank the millions of people
who have shown their love for Charlie
here in Phoenix, across America, and
worldwide. I want to thank my husbands
dear friend, Vice President Vance, and his
phenomenal wife, Usha, for their love and
support. You guys honored my husband
so well, bringing him home. You both are
tremendous.
I want to thank President Trump and

his incredible family for the same. Mr.
President, my husband loved you, and he
knew that you loved him too.
He did. Your friendship was amazing.
You supported him so well. I have so much
love for you.
Charlies Faith and Legacy
Two days ago, my husband, Charlie,
went to see the face of his Savior and his
God. Charlie always said that when he
was gone, he wanted to be remembered
for his courage and for his faith. One of
the final conversations that he had on this
earth, my husband witnessed for his Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now and for all
eternity, he will stand at his Saviors side,
wearing the glorious crown of a martyr.
What Charlie Loved Most
Charlie loved life. He loved his life. He
loved America. He loved nature, which
always helped bring him closer to God. He
loved the Chicago Cubs. And my goodness,
did he love the Oregon Ducks. He wanted
me to say, Go Ducks. So I have to since
they play on Saturday. So go Ducks.
But most of all, Charlie loved his children. And he loved me with all of his
heart. And I knew that. Every day I knew
that. He made sure I knew that every day.
Every day he would ask me, How can I
serve you better? How can I be a better
husband? How can I be a better father?

NATIONAL COMMENTARY
JEFFERY BLEHAR THE NATIONAL REVIEW
cisely the sort of statement I am now
seeing underneath all-caps commands to
MAKE HER FAMOUS.
Nobody should feel compelled to like
Charlie Kirk, even in death. A large
number of people being singled out right
now by the social media mob shouldnt
have to apologize for anything, but now
they have been branded as infamous and
had their careers threatened, collateral
destruction in a war they had no idea
they were even participants in.
I understand that certain public-facing
jobs really do come with speech restrictions: If youre a PR employee with an
NFL franchise, for example, you deserve
to be fired out of a T-shirt cannon into the
upper decks of the stadium for being stupid enough to chortle about the killing
in public. And if youre Matthew Dowd
or Karen Attiah, you can go straight to
hell on a rocket sled people who abuse
their mainstream media platforms to
spread disinformation and hatred are
precisely the ones who deserve to lose
them. (Attiahs well-deserved firing by
the Washington Post also led to the Joke
of the Week, from a friend: Karen Attiah
turning down the WaPo buyout offer is
this generations Blockbuster turning
down Netflix.)
I am also deeply uncomfortable with
the number of schoolteachers who have
been found voicing repugnant sentiments in the aftermath of the killing, for
the simple reason that their prescribed
role in our society is literally to inculcate future generations with proper civic
values. I recognize that the online right
is currently engaged to some extent in
a mere variant of the time-honored tradition of nutpicking, but I also cant
help but notice how many of these nuts
happen to be placed in positions of trust
over children, either.
But calling nonstop for the professional ends of random people who said
crappy stuff about the Kirk assassination
online feels petty, pointless, and ultimately like a perversion of the American
spirit. I grant that its important not to
say stupid things in public. (This turns
out to be excellent life advice overall, and
yet so few people seem to take it.) And
I think ultimately there has to be some
kind of social sanction for applauding

Tim Kaine is convinced where your rights come from
Tim Kaine needs to report to a remedial civics class as soon as possible. The
Virginia senator and former vice presidential candidate expressed outrage at
a congressional hearing that a Trump
nominee said that our rights come from
God, not government.
Kaine suspected incipient theocracy,
warning that the Iranian regime persecutes religious minorities on exactly
this basis. They do it, he explained,
because they believe that they understand what natural rights are from their
creator.
In searching for an example more
relevant to the American experience,
Kaine might cast his mind back to a
fellow Virginian — a tall, sandy-haired,
Charlottesville-area gentleman with an
interest in architecture, a taste for fine
wine and a knack for writing. Ring any
bells?
Thomas Jefferson had three things
inscribed on his tombstone: drafter of the
Virginia statute for religious freedom,
founder of the University of Virginia and
author of the Declaration Independence.
Kaine could lodge all the same complaints
he made about the offending nominee,
Riley Barnes, against the Declaration
of Independence that shockingly maintains that all persons are endowed by
their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, and calls this proposition — with
arrogant certitude — a self-evident

truth.
Luckily for the Sage of Monticello, he
didnt have to get confirmed as ambassador to France by a Senate foreign relations committee including Tim Kaine (as
it happened, the U.S. Senate didnt exist
yet). Kaine might consider that, in taking
his oath of office, he actually pledged to
defend a constitutional system that is
founded on the idea that our rights exist
prior to government.
As Jefferson noted later, the sentiments of the Declaration were commonplace in 18th century America. Jeffersons
nemesis, Alexander Hamilton, stated
that the sacred rights of mankind are
written, as with a sun beam, in the
whole volume of human nature, by the
hand of the divinity itself; and can never
be erased or obscured by mortal power.
Hi there, I was wondering about the delinquent taxes that you see a lot of, three or
four times a year at least. And I was just
wondering, to those people who ever pay
their taxes because you never see no sheriff

ever pay those taxes, I was just wondered
how the business people and everything

Do we have to cancel everyone who didnt like Charlie?
Ladies and gentlemen, it seems we are
in the midst of a Great Cull.
In the days since the fateful bullet that
took Charlie Kirks life flew, a throng
of infuriated conservatives has trained
its attention on the many people stupid
enough to have posted TikToks or tweets
or Instagram comments celebrating his
murder. Outlets like the New York Times
have already written stories about the
ravening horde of MAGA fans out hunting for retaliatory scalps, and for once
I have to say they arent overselling the
phenomenon. People really are under a
lot of stress right now, and theyre lashing out.
My social media feed which I am
responsible for curating, to be fair is a
very weird place at the present moment,
full of negative energy. Seemingly 40
percent of the tweets I see are calls to
fire some person or another for their
reaction to the killing. (Another 20 percent of the tweets I see are from people
gloating over these people being fired for
their reaction to the killing.) Pictures are
posted with names and the companies
they work for, and readers are exhorted
to contact their employers.
I have very mixed feelings about all
of this. The sentiments I see people
being targeted for range from wicked
and appalling to utterly milquetoast. I
didnt like the sorts of things he said
but its a shame hes dead should not
be a firing offense, and yet that is pre-
Yes. This assassination murder They
wont show it on TV. I was in the third
grade, and we were taken out of the classroom and watched it on TV. Yes, people
should know. People should see that this
is actually real life thats happening in our
country instead of saying, oh, we are not
going to show this. Well it made me grow
up really quick. That people can get murdered. I was only in the third grade and
that infected my head that no matter what
you stand for, you best be careful because
somebody might stand up against you. This
has been ridiculous.
John Adams, James Wilson and John
Dickinson, among other Founding figures, said exactly the same thing.
Whereas Tim Kaine hears someone
say our rights come from God and thinks
of the writings and thought of, say, the
Ayatollah Khomeini, the philosophical basis of the idea is found in the
work of John Locke, one of the greatest
Enlightenment thinkers. Locke grounded his liberalism in an understanding
of mankind as possessing inherent Godgiven rights and dignity.
The power of this idea is that in a conflict between our rights and laws impinging on them, the laws must give way.
Kaines view that rights come from the
government implies that the state gets to
decide whether or not and to what extent
we have rights. The American project,
though, is based on the belief that it is the
duty of government to respect preexisting rights, and if a government tramples
on them, it has failed and is illegitimate.
The abolitionists used this view to
great effect in the 19th century. Even
though the government had decided that
it was permissible for one class of people to enslave another, the abolitionists
believed that this was an offense against
God. Enslaved people had a natural right
to liberty that couldnt be erased.
So, Kaine must have a beef with the

September 20 – The city

Now the jointists are

September 18 – Joe
Hannon, Marshal of
Greeley, became intoxicated Saturday afternoon,
and got so boisterous that
Constable Joe Fox arrested him and brought him
to Garnett and placed
him in jail. He was taken
before Justice Hunter, of
Greeley, this morning and

by the state, of violating
the Volstead law. The
men arrested are Monroe
Collins, Charles DeMoss
and Bowman Collins. Walt

night. The Collins brothers gave bond in the sum
of $1,000 each but the others, in fault of the bond,
were placed in jail. The

September 19 – The
Anderson County road
program is at a virtual
halt this week while about
200 workers remain on
a straight dole and officials await word from
Washington on their proposed $208,000 program.
About $700 will be paid
out Saturday to the former
relief workers who await
jobs under the new WPA.
Although the weather is
ideal for road and bridge
construction, only a skeleton force is at work. Not
one of these persons now
receiving direct relief payments has volunteered his
services, officials say. Sam
S. Irwin, poor commissioner, points out there
are no emergency projects
on which the county can
force the men to work.
This is the second week
that the dole has been in
effect as a stop-gap measure between the old relief
program and the WPA.

Thats because the City of

Every day. Hes such a good man.
He still is a good man. He was the
perfect father. He was the perfect
husband.
His Vision for the American Family
Charlie always believed that
Gods design for marriage and
the family was absolutely amazing and it is. It is. And it was
the greatest joy of his life. And
over and over, he would tell all
these young people to come and
find their future spouse, become
wives and husbands and parents.
And the reason why is because he
wanted you all to experience what
he had and still has. He wanted everyone to bring heaven into
this earth through love and joy
that comes from raising a family.
Its beautiful.
Charlie always said that if he
ever ran for office, I know a lot
of you asked if he ever was going
to, but privately, he told me if he
ever did run for office, that his
top priority would be to revive the
American family. That was his
priority.
One of Charlies favorite Bible
verses was Ephesians 5, verse
25: Husbands, love your wives
as Christ loved the church and
gave himself up for her. My husband laid down his life for me,
for our nation, for our children.
He showed the ultimate and true
covenantal love.
Faith in the Midst of Grief
I will never, ever have the
words to describe the loss that I
feel in my heart. I honestly have
no idea what any of this means.
I know that God does, but I dont.
But Charlie, baby, I know you do
too. I know you do. So does our
Lord.
And our world is filled with
evil. But our God, you guys, our
God is so good. So incredibly good.
And we know that for those who
love God, all things work together
for good. For those who are called
according to his purpose.
Already I have seen the worldwide outpouring of love for my
husband. Ive heard the testimonies from people my husband
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, September 18, 2025
LOCAL
inspired to get married, to start
families, to seek out a relationship
with God. Its the most important,
most important one of all.
The evildoers responsible for
my husbands assassination have
no idea what they have done.
They killed Charlie because he
preached a message of patriotism,
faith, and of Gods merciful love.
They should all know this. If you
thought that my husbands mission was powerful before, you
have no idea. You have no idea
what you just have unleashed
across this entire country and
this world. You have no idea. You
have no idea the fire that you
have ignited within this wife.
The cries of this widow will echo
around the world like a battle cry.
The Movement Will Continue
To everyone listening tonight
across America, the movement
my husband built will not die. It
wont. I refuse to let that happen.
It will not die. All of us will refuse
to let that happen. No one will
ever forget my husbands name,
and I will make sure of it. It will
become stronger, bolder, louder,
and greater than ever. My husbands mission will not end, not
even for a moment.
One of Charlies greatest talents was his ability, this phenomenal ability to choose great people
to follow him. He could always
find the ones who could handle
any setback. Its almost like he
knew. He could see it in you. Even
when you couldnt see it in yourself, he just knew. He knew you
could handle it. You thought you
only had 5% left, and he knew
you had 15%. He knew you were
ready to go that extra mile even
when you didnt. He always challenged people around him to work
harder and to be better. He never
gave up. And I love knowing that
one of his mottos was never surrender. So I want to tell you that
well never surrender. We never
will. Ever. Ever.
Our campus tour this fall will
continue. There will be even
more tours in the years to come.
America Fest here in Phoenix
this December will go on. It will
be greater than ever. The radio
and podcast show that he was
so proud of will go on. And in a
world filled with chaos, doubt,
and uncertainty, my husbands
voice will remain. And it will ring
out louder and more clearly than
ever. And his wisdom will endure.
A Call to Action
My favorite, too, but my
husbands favorite word in the
English language was earn. He
would call all of you to be people of action who earn the future
America deserves. So to all of the
young people who felt inspired
by my husbands faith in hard
work, all of you already know
what Charlie would want you to
do. You know. You know. If youre
in high school or if youre in college, go find your local Turning
Point USA chapter. Join it. Stay
involved. He wants you to make
a difference. And you can. You
can. The movements not going
anywhere. And it will only grow
stronger when you join it. If there
isnt a chapter, you cant find one,
then start one. There is no excuse.
Start one.
And as my husband used to
say in this room, every single
day, if you want to get involved,
the best way you can do that is
going to TPUSA.com. Thats what
he would say every day from
this chair. Every single day. I
watched his show every day, and
he would always say, If you want
to get involved, go to TPUSA.
com. If youre a pastor, join
our movement at TPUSAFaith.
And if youre a parent, I highly recommend that you come to
AmericaFest in December. Sign
up right now for that because we
would love to see you. I would
love to see you. Charlie would.
Hell be there. Hell be there in
spirit. Bring your kids. Bring
your family.
A Spiritual Battle
But most important of all, if
you arent a member of a church,
I beg you to join one, a Biblebelieving church. Our battle is
not simply a political one above
all. It is spiritual. It is spiritual.
The spiritual warfare is palpable.
Charlie loved his Savior with all
of his heart, and he wanted every
one of you to know him, too. He
wanted everyone to know that if
they confess, if they confess the
Lord Jesus Christ who rose from
the dead, then they will be saved.
Hear me when I say this.
Nobody is ever too young to know
the gospel. Nobody. Nobody is
ever too young to get involved
with saving this beautiful country, this country my husband
loved and still loves.
And nobody is ever too old,
either. Theres no age limit. I
know my husband is still here.
Hes watching over us. I dont
remember the last time I slept. I
couldnt sleep last night.
Charlie, baby. Charlie, I promise I will never let your legacy die,
baby. I promise Ill make Turning
Point USA the biggest thing that
this nation has ever seen. I promise. Charlie, I love you. I love you,
baby. Rest in the arms of our Lord
as he blankets you with the words
I know your heart always strives
to hear: Well done, my good and
faithful servant.
A Mothers Heart
When I got home last night,
Gigi, our daughter, just ran into
my arms. And I talked to her, and
she said, Mommy, I missed you.
I said, I miss you, too, baby.
She goes, Wheres Daddy? What
do you tell a three-year-old? She
says, Three. I said, Baby,
Daddy loves you so much. Dont
you worry. Hes on a work trip
with Jesus, so he can afford your
blueberry budget.
And my goodness, am I so
humbled to witness Charlie, you
alongside Jesus right now, doing
what you always want to do, baby.
Making heaven crowded, right?
Thats what its all about. Making
heaven crowded. I cant wait to
see you again one day.
Thank you all again who love
my husband, who supported him,
who wrote him an email every
single day during his radio show.
He read all of them. All of them.
God bless you all. And may God
bless America.

political assassinations. I
just wonder at the wisdom
of using social media as the
mechanism of enforcement.
Because I dont really
care whether the guy working the fry-cooker at my
local McDonalds has the
right opinions on Israels
war with Hamas. I dont
care if my auto mechanic
thinks Luigi Mangione (or
Ted Kaczynski, for that
matter) made a few good
points. I dont care if the
shopgirl at Anthropologie
showed proper respect to
Charlie Kirks widow. (I
might care whether my dentist was a committed Hitler
supporter, but only because
that would then mean I was
potentially trapped in a
remake of Marathon Man.)
Perhaps a few professional scalps is the price we
must pay for a more polite
society. Perhaps, come the
next assassination, people
will remember this and be
more circumspect about
expressing their glee. (I
always bet on disappointment, myself.) Mike Solana
of PirateWires summarized
it as well as anyone Ive
seen over the past few days:
I am not fighting for a
strong taboo against celebrating the assassination of
political figures because I
believe in cancel culture.
I am fighting for a strong
taboo against celebrating
the assassination of political figures because the
alternative is The Purge.
We are now getting a taste
of its bitter fruits.

Vikings Cross Country shines with Anderson County Bulldogs
multiple wins, personal bests
power past Jayhawk-Linn, 276
LYNDON – On a warm
September afternoon that
felt more like midsummer,
the Vikings cross country teams delivered their
strongest collective performance of the season. With
nine personal records (PRs)
and nine season-best (SB)
times recorded, the program showed its depth and
determination from varsity down through middle
school.
The varsity boys dominated their 5K race, placing
all seven runners in the top
11 en route to a first-place
team finish with just 17
points. Stetson Miller broke
away in the final 800 meters
to win his first varsity race
in 16:56 (SB). Josiah Meyer
wasnt far behind, taking
second in 17:04, nearly a
minute and a half faster
than his mark from this
meet last year. Ben Wuertz
(4th, 17:50 PR), Cash Miller
(5th, 18:44 PR), and Caleb
Detwiler (8th, 19:06 PR) all
broke significant time barriers for the first time in
their careers, while Aidan
Howland (9th, 19:26) and
Aydan Dunbar (11th, 20:26
SB) rounded out a powerful
team showing.
The
varsity
girls
matched that dominance,
capturing six medals and
the team title with 18
points. Ebony Hughes (1st,
22:17 SB), Mackenzie Moon
(2nd, 22:19 PR), and Lily
Burkdoll (3rd, 22:21 SB) led
from the gun and swept the
podium. Katelyn Burkdoll
(5th,
23:42),
Arabella
Dunbar (8th, 25:22), and
Caitlynn Detwiler (14th,
26:31) secured all five scoring runners inside the top
14.
In the junior varsity boys division, Brooks
MOUND CITY – The
Anderson County Bulldogs
earned their first win of the
season Friday night, defeating Jayhawk-Linn 276 on
the road. Strong play on
both sides of the ball carried ACHS, as the Bulldogs
used a balanced offensive
attack and a stingy defense
to take control early and
never look back.
After a scoreless first
quarter, Anderson County
broke the game open in
the second. Quarterback
Landon Schillig connected with Christian Barnett
on a 21-yard touchdown
pass, capped by an Aleck
Smith extra point, to put
the Bulldogs ahead 70.

12:52 PR) earned silver.
Rodney Macy (8th, 15:45 SB)
and Jax McRoberts (27th,
25:47 PR) also turned in
strong efforts.
Coach Troy Prosser
praised the teams progress, noting that while medals and faster times highlight success, there are a
significant number of progress points being made in
various other ways that are
contributing to the overall
success of the entire cross
country program.
With
both
varsity
squads, the JV boys, and
multiple middle schoolers
showing major strides, the
Vikings remain undefeated in team competition
and are steadily building
momentum as the season
unfolds.

line in 26:43, good for 88th
place, while Hope Hill finished 107th in 27:38. Coevin

place 15th overall against a
large and competitive field.
Braden Phelps followed
with a 59th-place finish in
20:32, and Jack Nienstedt
was close behind at 20:52 for

EMPORIA – The Anderson
County High School cross
country teams lined up
against tough competition
at the Emporia Invitational
on Saturday at Jones Park,
testing themselves on a
challenging 5K course. Both
the boys and girls squads
gained valuable experience
and turned in strong efforts
across the board.
In the girls race, senior
Madilyn Reichard led the
Bulldogs with a steady
performance, placing 35th
overall in 23:46. Emma
Baumann crossed the
the 1-yard line for another score, giving Anderson
County a 140 halftime
lead.
The Bulldogs kept their
momentum rolling in the
third quarter. Aidan Steele
made the highlight play of
the night when he jumped a
pass and raced 21 yards for
a pick-six, stretching the
lead to 210. Jasper added
his second 1-yard touchdown run later in the quarter, pushing the margin to
270 after the missed PAT.
Jayhawk-Linn, now 11
on the season, managed a
late score in the fourth on a
46-yard touchdown run, but
the failed two-point conversion sealed the 276 final.
Anderson
County
spread the ball effective-
ly as Schillig went 8-of-11
through the air for 100
yards and a touchdown,
Jasper paced the ground
game with 18 carries for
73 yards and two TDs and
Barnett caught two passes
for 31 yards.
Defensively,
the
Bulldogs were just as dominant. Schaffer led the
team with 10 tackles, Steele
added six along with his
interception return for a
touchdown, and Owen
Thompson also picked off a
pass.
The win moves the
Bulldogs to 11 on the
young season. They play
their first game at home
on Friday night against
Lexington, kickoff at 7 p.m.
Northeast Vikings deal Lancers first loss
COLONY – The Crest
Lancers couldnt keep
pace with a high-powered
Northeast (Arma) squad
Friday night, falling 4214
in a home conference
matchup. The loss dropped
Crest to 1-1 on the young
season, while the Vikings
improved their record to
20.
Northeasts offense set
the tone early and never
looked back.
Crest, however, found
bright spots in its passing
attack, with quarterback
Lane Yocham and receiver
Kole Walter connecting on
several big plays.
Yocham completed 10 of
22 passes for 188 yards and
two touchdowns, including
a 70-yard strike to Walter.
Walter finished the night
with 126 yards receiving
and a touchdown on five
catches. Koiy Miller hauled
in a 10-yard touchdown
pass, while Max Disbrow
added five receptions for 65
yards.
On the ground, Crest
leaned on Jensin Barker,
who carried 20 times for
72 yards, and Miller, who
provided a spark with 35
yards on just three carries.
The Lancers rushed for 159
yards as a team.
Defensively,
Barker
again led by example,
recording six total tackles.
Will Disbrow contributed
a sack and a tackle for loss,
while Walter grabbed an
interception to give Crests
defense a much-needed
stop.
Crest will look to regroup
this Friday as they travel to
Oswego (1-1) for a 7 p.m.
kickoff.
Vikings football falls to Pleasanton
PLEASANTON – The
Central Heights Vikings
dropped their conference
road matchup against
Pleasanton on Friday night,
falling 307.
Offensively, quarterback
Chase Bones completed two
passes for 61 yards, both
hauled in by receiver Hans
Higbie, who finished with
61 receiving yards and later
added the teams lone extra
point.
The Vikings ground
game was led by running
back Gage Peine, who
carried 26 times for 106
yards, including Central
Heights only touchdown of
the night. Max Chrisjohn
added 34 rushing yards on
three carries.
Defensively, Chrisjohn
anchored the unit with 10
tackles, including three
assists. Peine added six
stops, a tackle for loss,
and a sack, while Cooper
Thomas also recorded a
sack. Higbie, Thackeray,
and Ulrich each chipped in
three tackles, and Ulrich
forced a fumble late in the
contest.
Central Heights will look
to pick up their first win of
the season on Friday night
in their matchup against
Uniontown at home, with
kickoff at 7 p.m.

Head coach Tarrie Miller,
now in her eighth year at
ACHS and fourth season
as varsity coach, is excited
about the progress her team

a solid foundation. Seniors
Jordan Miller, Brylie

with sophomore Aspyn

versatility. In addition, four
new players have joined the
program this year, bringing
fresh energy and competition to the court.
Coach Miller described
this season as part of a
rebuilding phase, but she
believes the teams mindset
will drive them forward.
This is a great group of
girls with a love for the

Anderson County Cross Country looks to build consistency
BY KEVIN GAINES THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The Anderson
County High School cross
country program heads
into the 2025 season under
the steady guidance of
longtime head coach Mike
Sibley, who is entering
his 21st year leading the
Bulldogs.
Last fall, the Bulldogs
boys team posted several
strong finishes, including
runner-up performances at the Parsons and
Prairie View meets and a
third-place showing in the
Pioneer League. Senior
Grant Nienstedt stood out
as a first-team all-league
selection and earned a trip
to the 3A State Meet. On
the girls side, the Bulldogs
were unable to field a full
team last season.
This years team returns
a core of experienced runners. Nienstedt is back to
lead the boys alongside
juniors Wesley Mills and
Owen Hawkins, forming
a veteran trio that has
set the tone with leadership and work ethic. For
the girls, seniors Hope
Hill and Emma Baumann
bring leadership and experience, with junior Rayna
Kuhlman also returning.
The Bulldogs will need
to replace two of their top
three boys runners from a
year ago, Brody Barnes and
Brodie Wiesner, both lost to
graduation. That absence
leaves Anderson County
with just six boys and five
girls on the roster, making
every runner critical to the
teams success.
Sibley noted that while

longtime head coach
Nicole Wiehl, who enters
her 17th season guiding
the Lady Bulldogs.
Last season, the Lady
Bulldogs continued their
streak by capturing their
third consecutive Pioneer
League Championship.
With another year of experience under their belt,
this years team hopes to
build on that success and
set its sights even higher.
Among the returning
players are four lettermen who bring leadership

experience. Junior Rylee

Wiehl states that, golf is as

themselves. She stresses
the importance of consistency, confidence, and
week-to-week improvement, encouraging her

for steady progress in each
tournament.
The goals for this year is
aiming to break a score of
410 in 18-hole play and go
under 200 in 9-hole matches. Beyond those benchmarks, the team is striving to defend its Pioneer
League title, finish in the
top three at regionals, and
ultimately qualify for the
State tournament as a full

achievable goal given the

Crest Lancers will rely
on youth for success
BY KEVIN GAINES THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – Head Coach
Nick McAnulty, now in
his seventh year at the
helm, knows the challenge
ahead for his squad in the
always-competitive Three
Rivers League and 8-Man II
District as his team looks to
build on last years winning
season. Assistant coach
Roland Weir joins him once
again on the sideline.
Last season, the Lancers
finished 5-4 overall, with a
3-2 record in league play and
a 2-1 mark in district games.
Last season was a rollercoaster. The season had its
ups and downs, McAnulty
admitted. We had some big
wins and some big losses.
Inconsistencies throughout
the season, including penalties that killed drives, will
need to be addressed this
upcoming season.
The Lancers will need
to replace Kade Nilges and
Gentry McGhee, who both
played critical roles. They
were both among the top 3
in both rushing on offense
and tackles on defense.
Despite those losses,
Crest has important pieces to build around. Seniors
Jensen Barker and Henry
White will carry heavy
responsibilities on both
sides of the ball.
Coach McAnulty stated
of his seniors, Jensen and
Henry will have a heavy
workload offensively while
also being the keys to making sure everyone is doing
their job defensively, he
said.
The Lancers will also
look to new faces to step in
right away. Key newcomers
such as Lane Yocham and

Crest Lady Lancers head into the season with high expectations
BY KEVIN GAINES THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – The Crest Lady
Lancers are gearing up for
the 2025 volleyball season
with high expectations
under the leadership of
head coach Carly Crow,
who is entering her second year as the high school
head coach. After finishing
last year with a strong 25-13
record, earning a regional runner-up title, and
placing third in the Three
Rivers League, Crest is
determined to build on that
momentum.
This
years
squad
returns a solid group of
experienced letterwinners.
Seniors Aylee Beckmon,
Kinley Edgerton, Kaelin
Nilges,
and
Allison
Weatherman are joined by
juniors Hanna Schmidt and
Jaycee Schmidt to form the
teams veteran core.
Coach Crow acknowledged the contributions
of key graduates from the
2024 squad, including outside hitter Karlee Boots,
setter Cursten Allen, and
right side hitter Delaney
Ramsey, but she believes
her current lineup is ready
to step up.
Several returning players are expected to make a
major impact. Senior outside hitter Kaelin Nilges
remains one of Crests most
consistent
performers,
excelling both defensively
and in serve receive. Fellow
senior Aylee Beckmon
returns after missing much
of last season due to injury, and her versatility will
add depth to the offense
and back row. Senior
Kinley Edgerton, who led
the team in both blocks and
assists a year ago, will once
again anchor the squad as
a setter and middle blocker,
while also serving as one of
Crests most effective hitters.
Juniors Hanna and
Jaycee Schmidt are also
poised for breakout campaigns. Hanna, a middle
blocker, has shown steady
growth and is expected to
be a force at the net on both
sides of the ball. Jaycee,
who stepped up last year
after a teammates injury,
quickly became a defensive leader, a reliable serve
receiver, and one of Crests
top servers.
The Lady Lancers are
also welcoming some new
faces to the varsity roster. Sophomores Gracyn
Ellington and Summer
Valentine, along with
junior Harlowe Rush, have
earned their way onto the
varsity squad. Coach Crow
noted their rapid improvement and believes they

throughout the season.
When it comes to competition, Crest knows the road
wont be easy. With league
realignments
bringing
new challenges, the Lady

tough opponents including

her teams extensive experience and off-season club
play as major strengths,
but also emphasized the
importance of communicationan area that remains

Despite the challenges,

While the team lost several key athletes from last
seasonseniors Gunner

Coach Cummings believes
the leadership of her
senior girls will anchor
this years squad. Allen,
Schmidt, and Walter have
been part of the program
since middle school, and
their experience, drive,
and accomplishments have
shaped them into leaders
both in practice and competition.
On the girls side, Crest
expects to compete at a
high level against some of
the states toughest opponents. South Gray and
Ness City stand out as the
biggest challengers on the
regional and state stage,
as both programs return
strong runners while
adding new talent. Still,
Cummings is confident her
team will be in the running
for a state title if they perform to their potential.
My goals for this season as a whole is to keep
everyone healthy and
happy, Cummings said.
We need to be healthy in

FALL SPORTS
Vikings look to sustain championship status after key departures
BY KEVIN GAINES THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – The Central
Heights cross country program enters the 2025 season
with lofty goals and a proven track record under head
coach Troy Prosser. Now
in his 11th year leading the
Vikingsand his 20th overall in coachingProsser
brings experience and stability to a team with high
expectations following a
remarkable 2024 campaign.
The boys squad dominated last season, finishing with an unbeaten
187-0 record while sweeping championships at the
league, regional, and state
levels. Central Heights
claimed the Three Rivers
League title, the 2A regional
crown, and ultimately the
2A State Championship. On
the girls side, the Vikings
also excelled, finishing as
league and regional runners-up before placing fifth
at the state meet.
This fall, Central Heights
welcomes back a deep and
talented core of returning
lettermen. On the boys side,
seniors Aydan Dunbar and
Aidan Howland lead a roster
that also includes juniors
Stetson Miller and Cash
Miller; sophomores Knox
Cannady, Caleb Detwiler,
Mathew Dunbar, Brooks
Hamilton, Josiah Meyer,
and Ben Wuertz. For the
girls, the Vikings return
senior Arabella Dunbar
along with sophomores Lily
Burkdoll, Caitlynn Detwiler,
and Ebony Hughes.
Prosser notes that the
team will need to replace several key contributors lost to
graduation, including boys
standouts Cody Hammond,
Connor Burkdoll, Owen
Miller, Christian McCord,
and Jotham Meyer, as well
as exchange student Maya
Acebron on the girls side.
Even so, the program continues to reload with young
talent ready to step up.
Among the top runners
this season are juniors
Stetson Miller and Josiah
Meyer, who both rank
inside the top five all-time
on Central Heights 5K
leaderboard and finished
21st and 22nd, respectively, at last years 2A State
Meet. Seniors Dunbar and
Howland provide veteran
leadership as the lone upperclassmen on the boys side.
For the girls, sophomore duo
Lily Burkdoll and Ebony
Hughes return after earning
top-25 finishes at state, while
senior Arabella Dunbar
brings valuable postseason
experience from both cross
country and track.
Prosser is also encouraged by the progress of his
underclassmen, who make
up the majority of both
squads. Each and every
one of them have stepped up
at different times over the
summer and the past few
weeks to help themselves,
help their teammates and
bring something unique to
the team dynamic and programs culture, he said.
All of them have the talent
to have highly successful
seasons and their skills will
be put to the test all season
long.
When looking at competition, Prosser expects Class
2A to once again provide a
stiff challenge. Cross country is such a mentally difficult sport, he explained.
Once the gun goes off, there
are no timeouts, halftimes,
or substitutions. The combination of physical and mental fortitude required goes
far beyond other sports.
Every runner is 100%
responsible for their own
outcome, and that pursuit of
personal excellence is what
makes this sport so demanding.
As for team goals, the
Vikings are setting the
bar high but keeping their
focus simple. Our goals are
always to improve, learn
to interact with and feed
off of our teammates in a
positive way, and to enjoy
one of the greatest sports
in the world, Prosser said.
We want to return to the

State Championships in
November in top form and
end the season leaving nothing in the tank.
The biggest strength of
this years squads, according to Prosser, is consistency. Our greatest strength
is the consistency of work
ethic all of the kids bring to
the program, he said. They
enjoy being part of the team,
enjoy running with each
other, and cheer their teammates on through the good
times and the difficult times.
There is no weakness among
them because anyone who
is willing to go through the
hundreds of grueling miles
it takes to succeed in this
sport eliminates any sugges-
tion that they are anything
other than strong.
With a combination of
proven veterans, rising talent, and a championship
pedigree, Central Heights
cross country heads into
2025 looking not just to
defend its reputation but to
strengthen it.
Vikings fueled by last
years postseason run
BY KEVIN GAINES THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – The Central
Heights Vikings are setting
their sights on a stronger
2025 campaign with thirdyear head coach Sam Oram
at the helm. Oram, now in
his third season at Central
Heights after five years of
coaching in Missouri, has
worked to reshape the program with a new approach
to training and an elevated
standard for his players.
Last fall, the Vikings finished 4-5, highlighted by a
thrilling late-fourth-quarter
victory over Eureka that
sent them into a district
championship matchup the
following week. That taste
of postseason opportunity
has fueled this years squad
to push harder. We wanted
to be different this year,
Oram said. We trained
differently and raised the
expectations even higher
for them.
Central Heights brings
back a strong core of
returning lettermen, led by
seniors Max Chrisjohn and
Graham Higbie. Juniors
Colt King, Landon Lickteig,
Cooper Tush, Chase Bones,
Hans Higbie, and Gavin
McMechan, along with
sophomores Weston Starr
and Ethan Rhoades, also
return with valuable varsity experience.
Still, the Vikings will
need to replace key contributors from the Class of 2024,
including Brody Roullette,

Garnett High School Class of 1955 70th reunion
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, September 18, 2025
LOWRY…
FROM PAGE 4
likes of William Lloyd
Garrison,
Frederick
Douglass and Abraham
Lincoln. He presumably
would have gone ballistic
over Garrisons conviction
that the right to enjoy
liberty is inalienable. To
invade it is to usurp the
prerogative of Jehovah.
Rather than a warrant for
theocracy, the Garrison
view supported the extension of rights. As he put
it, wherever there is a
human being, I see Godgiven rights inherent in
that being, whatever may
be the sex or complexion.
Kaines outburst shows
how progressives have an
allergy to God in any context other than a personal
one, and how it isnt just
schoolchildren who are
ignorant about our history
and system of government.
Is it too much to ask that a
U.S. senator know a little
bit about our heritage?

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW 09-18-2025 / SUBMITTED
The Garnett High School graduating class of 1955 met for their 70th class reunion at the club house of Park Plaza North
on September 12, 2025, for a luncheon catered by Dutch Country Caf. There were 25 in attendance with 14 being classmates. Some from California, Texas, Ohio and Oklahoma with the rest from Kansas. They have met every 5 years since
their graduation, but this will be their last. The class started their high school career with 90 students, the largest class to
attend GHS up to that point. They caused quite a stir as there were only two classes for each subject making 45 in a class.
They had to add another class after school started. They graduated 70 of those students. They were honored to have
their high school business teacher, Mrs. Laverne Cole, with them. She had also been their sophomore, junior and senior
class sponsor. Pictured front row, from left: Shirley (Fooshee) McGhee, Laverne Cole (teacher), Dixie (Schulte) Brummel,
Dallas (Sweet) Boyer, Peggy (Riley) Morgan. Back row, from left: Ron Sobba, Joella Rockers, Kay (Johnson) Gwin, Henry
Roeckers, Jerry Mulinex, Barbara (Umbarger) Graham, Dorothy (Feuerborn) Lickteig, Larry Walters, Lloyd Bures and Jerry

order of sale. The property

sheriff and usually held at
the county courthouse.
The sale is absolutethere is no right of
redemption in Kansas after
the auction, unlike mortgage foreclosures, where
redemption rights exist.
Anyone may bid, except
county employees involved
in the process. Bidding usually starts at the amount of
taxes, interest, court costs,
and fees owed.
Buyers of tax sale property receive a Sheriffs
Deed, which conveys ownership. Title to the parcels
is not guaranteed to be
clearbuyers often obtain
a quiet title action later to
remove old claims.
Buyers should research
liens, special assessments,
and occupancy before bidding.
The public notice to be
published in next weeks
Review listing the affected
properties details the term
of delinquency as well as
taxes, interest and fees.
Campbell said he expected
the date of the sale to be
set sometime in October or
November.
GOLF…
FROM PAGE 11
Coach Wiehl is excited about her freshman
group of girls, which she
describes as very strong
and full of potential.
Freshman Evelee Crum
has already impressed
with her ball-striking
ability and natural talent, showing maturity beyond her age. Two
other first-year players,
Vivian Riblett and Sawyer
Stevenson, have also made
early strides. Riblett is
already hitting the ball
well, with her next area
of focus being consistency
around the greens, while
Stevenson has shown
good potential. All three
have previous experience
playing junior high golf, a
background that has proven to be highly beneficial
in their transition to the
high school level.

EKAE
Coach Wiehl believes
this
teams
greatest
strengths lie in its size,
youth, and chemistry.
The energy and camaraderie among the players
help fuel a positive atmosphere where athletes are
not only competitive but
also supportive of one
another. The players enjoy
the game, encourage each
other, and never give up
traits that are often as
important as technical
skill in the sport of golf.
However, the teams
inexperience is still a hurdle theyll need to overcome. As Wiehl points out,
golf is a game of repetition
and mental resilience, and
building confidence on the
course takes time. Still,
she is optimistic that with
extra practice and dedication, this group can continue to grow into something
special.
Landon Lopez, Lawson
McGurk, Dustin Smith, and
Armoni Velez. Their departures open the door for a
new group of leaders to step
forward.
Two
freshmen
Blake Bones and Sawyer
Thackerayhave emerged
as unexpected contributors
early in the season.
Looking ahead at competition, Oram points to Council
Grove and Humboldt as the
toughest tests on the schedule.
As for strengths, Oram
sees the run game and defensive unit as the teams foundation, while the passing
game remains an area in
need of growth.
