Iola High goes into its first season of Pioneer League action with a clean slate.

Patience. Passion. Pride. Preparation. Program.

Just a few watch words for the 2012 Iola High Mustang football season.

“We all want to succeed right now, win right now. I’m stressing patience to the players, to us coaches, to par-ents and to fans,” said Doug Kerr, the Mustangs’ new head football coach.

“We’ve been really happy with the way these kids have bought into our system. We have a new coaching staff, a new offense and a new de-fense. That all fits with a new league to play in this sea-son.”

Kerr, a Derby native, re-turned to Kansas after coach-ing and teaching in Florida for 14 years to take the reins of the Mustang football pro-gram. He is a firm believer high school football is big time under the Friday night lights no matter where the game is played.

Iola switched from the Southeast Kansas League to the Pioneer League this sea-son. The Mustangs still have three SEK teams on their schedule — longtime archri-val Chanute and Fort Scott are in Iola’s Kansas Class 4A district, both games are at home for the Mustangs. Iola goes to Coffeyville for the third game of the season.

The Mustangs have played four of the five other Pioneer League teams in the past few years. Anderson County is still in Iola’s 4A district and Prairie View was in last district alignment with

Iola. Iola has played Central Heights and Osawatomie.

Wellsville is a new op-ponent and Iola travels up north to take on the Eagles on Oct. 5.

But all the preparation so far by the Mustangs has been to get ready for the season opener Friday night. Cher-ryvale High’s Chargers, a new opponent out of the Tri-Valley League, comes to Iola’s Riverside Stadium.

“One of the big assets we have is our players’ abil-ity to learn the new system quickly. Our kids are picking up the single-wing offense and the 3-6 defense we’ve installed. We saw a strong group of kids throughout the summer in the weight lifting program,” Kerr said.

The Mustangs are coming off a 2-7 season. Their main offensive weapon graduated.

“Now it’s time for others to step up and be the guys. Our offense is not a spread offense but we’ll spread the carrying of the football around by design,” Kerr said.

Iola has seven returning

New coach leads Fillies into Pioneer LeagueFresh start.With a new head coach the

Iola Fillies will go into a new league for the 2012 volleyball season.

“It’s a fresh start for our volleyball program. That’s what we’re building here — a program,” said Emily Sigg, first-year head coach. “We’re a younger team with just three seniors on the squad so we’re excited about this sea-son.”

Sigg is all too familiar with the IHS volleyball tradition. She, too, is a former IHS vol-leyball player. Two-thirds of the coaching staff is new this season. Steven Stockebrand, a Yates Center native, joins Sigg and Jeff Fehr. Fehr is in his third season coaching the freshman team.

Iola opens its first sea-son in the Pioneer League after being a charter mem-ber of the Southeast Kansas League. The Fillies still play several of the SEK teams, es-pecially at the junior varsity and freshman levels.

Pioneer League foes are Anderson County in Garnett, Prairie View at LaCygne,

Wellsville, Central Heights at Richmond and Osawato-mie. Iola posted a 7-26 overall mark last year.

Returning seniors are Keli Lee, Breanna Stout and Katie Thompson. Lee, who is side-lined right now with a knee injury, played libero — defen-sive specialist — on the back row for Iola last year. Stout and Thompson saw limited varsity duty as hitters.

“Breanna is an outside hit-ter for us. She can really get up at the net and has power in her swings. She’s also a very good passer plus is a strong team leader,” Sigg said.

“Katie is doing a good job of placing her hits as a mid-dle hitter. Katie is our tallest girl (5-11) on the team and she should be effective block-ing at the net.”

Sigg said Lee will contin-ue to play libero “if she gets healthy.”

The player back with the most varsity experience is 5-9 sophomore Emery Driskel. Driskel had 25 kills plus six solo blocks and eight assist-ed blocks at the net. Driskel can hit from either side and from the middle.

“Emery was selected to the all-star team at the Pitts-burg State team camp in July and that’s a big honor. She’s improving her serving and passing skills plus she sets the ball pretty well. She gets to a lot of volleyballs with her quickness,” Sigg said.

Sophomore Kyra Moore is back as starting setter. She led the team in set assists a year ago with 205. Moore also served the most ace serves, 18, as a 92 percent server.

“Kyra is an excellent set-ter and can hit the ball at the net. She’s left-handed, which can confuse blocks when she goes up to hit. To be success-ful, we need to be consistent with our passing and set-ting,” Sigg said.

Junior Emma Sigg logged limited varsity time last year. She is working as a libero and is improving as an out-side hitter. Coach Sigg said Emma Sigg is a good passer giving depth in the back row.

Sophomore Emma Pi-azza is a setter and a strong all-around player. Piazza is a great outside hitter and blocker at the net, Sigg said.

“With Kyra and Emma,

we have two solid setters so we should be able to run a 6-2 offense. We’re still see-ing where everybody fits and what we have to work with. We’ve been encouraged by the way the girls have worked over the summer and in practices,” Sigg said.

Juniors Hannah Endicott, Karlie Lower, Paige Miller, Al-lie Cleaver and Halie Cleaver are back, plus sophomores Ad-die Haar, Torrie Lewis, Shelby Smith and Katie Shields.

Lower gives depth at the set-ter spot and Halie Cleaver is a strong back row player with her passing. Haar has stepped up as a power hitter with good placement on her hits. Sigg said Haar is working to hit quick sets.

Miller, Endicott, Smith, Lewis and Shields are devel-oping into good hitters. Tim-ing is an issue right now for the younger hitters in work-ing on their approach to the net on attacks.

Sigg said the Fillies have a good group of freshmen with advanced skill sets. She said it was because a lot of them have played club volleyball in the off-season.

“They all came to condi-tioning and have worked hard at practice. I was im-pressed with their serving,” Sigg said.

“Overall, we’ve focused on fundamentals early and con-ditioning. These girls are com-ing in every day ready to work. We need to develop communi-cation skills so we talk to each other on the court.”

Sigg said the Fillies have strong hitters, good setters and passers on the team. She said the consistency fac-tor goes through all aspects from serving to hitting.

“That’s what we’re striv-ing for — consistency. If we get that, we can be success-ful.”

Iola opened its 2012 season last weekend in a varsity and junior varsity tournament at Prairie View. The Fillies return to LaCygne Thursday to play Prairie View and Fort Scott.

Line play is key for Marmaton ValleyThe Marmaton Valley

High Wildcats are rolling into 2012 with confidence. Coming off one of the better football seasons it has had in several years, Marmaton Valley is ready for another run to the playoffs.

The Wildcats (7-3) lost sev-en players to graduation but a nine-player senior class leads the Cats. All are seasoned players on one side of the football or the other and some on both offense and defense.

“We have a big senior class and they’ve been a part of what this program has done the past couple of seasons,” said Kent Houk, who is in his third season as head coach. “We’re not very deep, but we have quality players.

“Just like any team, we have to stay healthy.”

Marmaton Valley has 22 players in its efforts to strike out for another Kansas Eight-Man Division I, District 2 championship. The Wildcats claimed a bi-district title, then lost in a regional game.

“We were one of the fi-nal eight teams remaining in the playoffs when we lost last year,” Houk said. “Our guys have worked hard in the off-season to get better so we can take another run into the playoffs.”

Offensively, the Wildcats have a full backfield return-ing led by All-Three Rivers League running back Cole Becker. The 5-9, 190-pound senior rushed for 1,600 yards and earned all-state honors. Jimmy Frye, a 6-1, 175-pound senior will direct the Wildcat offense as quarterback. At 6-1

and 170 pounds, senior Day-len Houk is the other running back.

All-TRL lineman Nathan Smart, a 6-4, 265-pound se-nior, anchors the offensive line as guard. Smart, who received all-state recognition last year, was “the workhorse on the line for us. We ran be-hind him a lot,” Houk said.

Senior Jared Kale, 6-3 and 215, is back as another guard on the line. Kale earned TRL honorable mention. Lucas Hamlin, a 6-1, 185-pound se-nior, has moved from tight end to center along the offen-sive line. Levi Ramsey, who earned TRL honorable men-tion as a special teams player last year, is vying for a spot on the line as is junior Sage Hall.

“Line play is going to seal the deal for us. If our big guys block up front, we’re go-ing to run the ball very well. Cole, Daylen and Jimmy give us three options running the football and Jimmy throws the ball well,” Houk said.

Houk looks for juniors Lane Hamm, Joey Jefferis and Nick Trollope to make an

impact and sophomore Trent Johnson. Hamm is 6-foot and 270 and Jefferis is 5-11 and 210 giving the Wildcats a little more depth on the line. Trol-lope is the backup quarter-back and Johnson is working as tight end behind Hall.

Seniors Ryan Smith and Carlos Gonzales are expect-ed to see playing time in the backfield.

Kale led the Wildcats in quarterback sacks last year as defensive end. Smart is back on the defensive while Becker, Houk and Frye lead the linebacker corps.

Looking at the Three Riv-ers League and the eight-man district, Houk sees things wide open. In the league, the Wildcats have to contend with Crest High’s Kyle Ham-mond and Jordan Morton leading the Lancer offense, then St. Paul has a good pair of players returning.

Marmaton Valley picked up Randolph-Blue Valley High as an opponent late af-ter Altoona-Midway High an-nounced it would not field a varsity football team this sea-

son. That game is Sept. 14 at Moran and is the last of three home games to open the sea-son for the Wildcats.

In Eight-Man I, District 2 play, the Wildcats find a new but familiar foe. Uniontown High’s Eagles — Marmaton Valley’s arch rival in the

TRL — dropped from 11-man football into eight-man com-petition this season. Also in the district are Pleasanton, Marais Des Cygnes Valley and St. Paul.

Marmaton Valley hosted Chetopa Thursday as the sea-son opener.

Fillies’ numbers up on tennis courtNot much has changed for

Iola High’s girls on the ten-nis courts for 2012.

Most of the players are re-turning from last year and the move into the new league hasn’t affected the Fillies’ schedule much. The Pioneer League schools — Anderson County, Prairie View, Wells-ville and Osawatomie — don’t have tennis teams.

So Iola will play its same schedule against South-east Kansas League teams although it will lose an all-day tournament — the SEK League event — at the end of the regular season.

“We’ve had only five or six practices and our season begins. We’ve been working on fundamentals and hav-ing challenge matches,” said Jennifer Bycroft, who is in her seventh season as Fillies’ tennis coach.

“We’ve got 17 out this sea-

son, which is great, but... half of them are new to the sport.”

Seniors Abbey St. Clair and Katana Smith are lead-

ing the Fillies. They have varsity experience playing singles and doubles.

“Katana improved so much from her sophomore year to her junior year. Her strokes are solid and she played singles last year. Ab-bey is working on honing some fundamentals. Both of these girls can play singles but I could pair them up with a couple of others and we might have two strong dou-bles teams,” Bycroft said.

There’s the rub. Bycroft said she hasn’t really been able to see where the play-ers are their best. She was looking forward to the Fil-lies’ first varsity action last Thursday to get an indica-tion in which way she needs to go.

Iola played a junior varsity quadrangular last Monday to open the season. Bycroft was pleased with what she saw from her younger players.

Juniors Alexis Hobbs, Megan Smith and Katie Lieurance played last year. Bycroft said Hobbs played junior varsity a year ago and has come back with a lot of upper body strength and im-provement in her game.

“Megan and Katie have potential. I’d like to see them get more serious about the game and push themselves to

get better,” Bycroft said.Shelby Reno, Jessica Ad-

ams, Baleigh Seeber and Khrystal Smith are return-ing sophomores. Brittany Porter, a junior, is back out after a year away from the sport.

Holly Schomaker is a se-nior out for the first time. Bobbi Sinclair is a freshman who should push for a var-sity spot.

“Holly has athletic abil-ity and is making strides. She lost a challenge match to Shelby Reno (last week) and Shelby has varsity ex-perience. It’s good to have Brittany back out and Bobbi showed potential in our first

junior varsity matches.”Senior Shelby Brown,

sophomore Kaleena Smith and freshmen Chyanne Vaughn, Allyson Hobbs and Judith Branstetter are new-comers to tennis.

“The underclassmen are grasping the fundamentals like if I hit the ball, I need to get back to the base line for a return shot. Most don’t charge the net yet so it’s about moving their feet to get in the proper position,” Bycroft said.

Iola has its lone home competition Thursday with Parsons, Independence and Columbus coming to town.

Welcome back Mr. Criss.K.B. Criss, USD 258 superinten-

dent of schools, is back as head coach of Humboldt High’s Cubs for the 2012 football season. Criss, who stepped away from coaching after the 2005 season to become HHS principal, re-turned to coaching a year ago as a Cub assistant.

Mike Miller, who had been the head coach the past couple of years, moved into an assistant coaching po-sition.

The Cubs went 2-7 a year ago and 1-4 in Tri-Valley League play.

Another change for the Cubs is they’ve moved up from Kansas Class 2-1A district play to Kansas Class 3A.

They were placed in Class 3A, Dis-trict 6 with Burlington, Eureka and Fredonia — all TVL teams.

“It’s a four-team race as we look at it. It is a very balanced district. The two teams that can stay away from injuries will have the inside shot at being the most successful,” Criss said.

Humboldt returns 13 lettermen who were starters or had plenty of varsity playing time last year. Five other lettermen are expected to con-tribute on both sides of the football.

Nathan Whitcomb is a 6-1, 160-pound senior quarterback and defensive back. Hayden Boring earned All-Tri-Valley League first team honors as a place kicker. The 6-foot, 165-pound senior returns as a running back and linebacker.

Other running back options for the Cubs are senior Trey Johnson and sophomore Jacob Carpenter, both are 6-2 and 185 pounds. They will be seen at linebacker spots defensively for the Cubs.

The receiver corps has 6-6, 225-pound senior Noah Thornbrugh, 6-2, 165-pound senior Tanner Mc-Nutt, 5-9, 160-pound junior Hunter Murrow and 5-10, 165-pound junior

Alex Murrow. Working at tight end are 6-foot, 180-pound senior Blake Crawford and 6-2, 165-pound sopho-more Justin Meins.

In the trenches offensively look for Ryan Gean (6-2, 225), senior Dustin Pracht (6-foot, 215), junior Zach Os-born (6-foot, 180) and junior Jayce Shoemaker (6-foot, 170). Vying for playing time along the line are 6-foot, 225-pound senior Robert Moore and 5-11, 190-pound sophomore Ty Yowell.

Robbie Sellman is a sophomore who is tagged as a fullback at 5-10 and 145 pounds. Kason Siemens (5-7, 130) is the backup quarterback.

“With a significant amount of re-turning lettermen and larger num-bers overall, I feel we will be an excit-ing team that plays hard and will be fun to watch,” Criss said. “It’s about staying away from injuries and stay-ing focused on the process.”

Miller is coaching the offensive passing game and working with the quarterbacks plus the linebackers on defense. Jay Carpenter is the de-fensive coordinator and linebacker coach. Dave Taylor works with the running backs as the run-game coor-dinator.

New league, same sched-ule.

Well, almost, the same schedule.

Iola High’s cross country teams are competing in the same regular season compe-titions in 2012 that they have for years. The one change is no Southeast Kansas League meet before the regional cross country meet.

The Mustangs and Fillies are now ready to establish a tradition on the Pioneer League meet course, wherev-er that might be. Iola’s cross country teams challenge An-derson County, Prairie View, Wellsville, Central Heights and Osawatomie in the Pio-neer League.

Longtime head coach Marvin Smith retired as a full-time teacher but is still coaching the cross country and track teams in 2012. He is joined by Mary Heffern, who has been his assistant coach for seven years now.

“I’m not sure if our cup is half full or half empty for the

boys’ team. Yes, I do, it is def-initely half full,” Smith said. Iola lost three strong varsity runners to graduation but is returning three juniors to lead a strong, younger team.

Juniors Trent Latta, Jer-emy Spears and Tyler Powel-son placed in the top 13 at the SEK meet last year. The next week Latta and Powelson earned trips to the Kansas Class 4A state meet. Spears missed qualifying for state by one position.

Latta and Spears earned All-SEK honors and Powel-son was a league honorable mention. At the state cross country meet, Latta finished 37th and Powelson was 69th in the 5K race.

The Mustangs’ top se-nior runner back is Jordan Strickler, who was 24th in the SEK league meet. Strickler was hampered most of last season with a stress fracture.

“We need Jordan healthy throughout this season. Trent, Jeremy and Tyler are in their third year running

varsity for us. They all three had strong track seasons last year,” Smith said. “Jeremy has been our lead runner in practice sessions.

“We’re getting good prac-tices from our returning junior varsity runners and keeping Jordan with two good legs are the keys to our season.”

Coming off a league title in the junior varsity boys’ race, the Mustangs have eight of that group back and pushing for varsity spots. Sophomores Michael Wil-son, Blaine Klubek and Kohl Endicott lead that group. Juniors Bryan Mueller and Jacob Cooper, senior Jason Tidd, sophomore Travis Hermstein and junior Levi Baker also placed in the top 20 in the league’s junior var-sity race.

“All of that group plus Ge-rardo Rojas, who is a senior runner with asthma and allergy problems but con-tinues to compete, will com-pete as varsity this season,”

Smith said.The over-flow from the

varsity group will make up a competitive junior varsity team, according to Smith. Seniors Drew Smith, Ja-son Tidd and Kaleb Beck-man are in that group along with junior Arion Kunkler, sophomores Tyler Holloway, Jonathan Tidd and first-year sophomore Garrett Prall.

“My cup is overflowing with the addition of 10 fresh-man boys. They attended summer conditioning on a regular basis and are adapt-ing to long distance run-ning,” Smith said. “However, six of this group did not run track in the spring and must be patient with condition-ing.”

THE FILLIES’ cup is not as full. Iola has six girls out for cross country this season — three returners and three first-year runners.

“We’re not looking for teams scores with the girls. We’re looking for individual

improvement as the season progresses,” Smith said.

Sophomore Jo Lohman was the Fillies’ No. 2 run-ner last year, garnering All-SEK recognition with a 19th place finish. Shannon Vogel, a junior ran in the varsity league race last year after competing in the junior var-sity meets during the season.

Expectations are always high for Crest High Lancer football. The 2012 season is no different.

Following its first losing season since 2007, Crest is ready to have a bounce-back year. The Lancers have five starters back on the offen-sive side of the football and six defensively on their 23-man roster.

“We’ve seen the guys work hard in the off-season both in the weightroom and on their football skills,” said Brent Smith, who begins his ninth season at the helm of the Lancer program.

Craig Frazell moves into the assistant coaching job with Smith after coaching the Crest Middle School foot-ball team for years.

Defense is key for the Lancers this season.

“We gave up way too many points last year, which is uncharacteristic of Lancer teams. Defense is something our team is known for and we’re looking to make a statement with it this sea-son,” Smith said.

The Lancers competed in Kansas Eight-Man Division I district action and have moved into the Eight-Man Division II, District 3 com-petition this year. They are joined by Southern Coffey

County, Chetopa, Elk Valley and Waverly.

Altoona-Midway, a mem-ber of district and Three Riv-ers League, is unable to field a varsity football team this season. Replacing the Jets on the Lancer schedule will be Tyro Christian on Oct. 25.

The Lancers have five two-way starters back. Senior quarterback Kyle Hammond rushed for 1,366 yards and 22 touchdowns plus was 40 of 68 for 820 yards and 14 touch-downs. Hammond earned All-Three Rivers League honors as a running back

plus on defense and special teams. The 6-1, 195-pound se-nior garnered state honors as a running back.

Jordan Morton, a 5-10, 155-pound senior, hauled in 23 passes for 608 yards as the Lancers’ all-state honorable mention receiver. He scored 10 touchdowns. Morton earned all-league honors as a defensive back.

Senior Jesse Boone is in his third year as a starting offensive lineman. The 6-2, 180-pounder was recognized as a defensive lineman in the TRL and was given all-state honorable mention.

Joining Boone on the of-fensive line as a returning starter is 5-10, 165-pound ju-nior Clayton Miller. Junior Brock Ellis, who broke his ankle in the second game of the season last year, is back as a 6-3, 195-pound tight end.

Hammond was the team’s leading tackler with 91 stops from his linebacker spot. Ellis will see action at line-backer while Boone is back as defensive end. Boone had 72 tackles, 14 were for losses plus he record four fumbles.

Miller racked up 51 tackles as a defensive lineman and Morton had 48 tackles and four interceptions as defen-sive back. Dylan Sedlak is a 5-8, 150-pound senior who

started at defensive back.Hammond is Crest’s punt-

er. He and Morton share du-ties as kick returners.

“We’re a multi-dimension-al team offensively this year, which we lacked last year. We have the ability to pass and run the ball, keeping defenses on their toes,” Smith said.

Other returning lettermen on the team are junior Land-on Stephens and sophomores Austin Green, Braden Mc-Ghee, Rene Rodriguez and Codi Vermillion.

The Lancers get a jump on most of the area teams going to Pleasanton in a Three Riv-ers League game on Thurs-day.

offensive starters and seven starters returning on the de-fensive side of the ball. Nine of the 14 seniors on the ros-ter are returners.

“We’ve seen our seniors step into leadership roles. We have a lot of juniors and some sophomores who start-ed or saw a lot of varsity playing time last year,” Kerr said.

Leading the way are se-niors Mason Coons, Eli Grover, Stephen McDonald, Aaron Barclay, Eric Heffern, Tyler Clubine, Cole Morri-son and Zeph Larney. Also back are seniors Devin Bur-ton and Andrew McMurray. Joining their classmates on the team are Joe Myrick, Jacob Harrison and Justin Baker.

Coons earned SEK hon-orable mention. The 6-2, 190-pound senior returns as the Mustang starting quar-terback. He threw for 1,088 yards last year, complet-ing 95 of 179 passes. He had seven touchdown passes and

threw nine interceptions.“Mason is still learning

the game and he’s got some hitches to work out, but he

has been looking good run-ning the single-wing for us. He is the every-down quar-terback this year,” Kerr said.

Grover and Barclay, whose season was cut short by a knee injury, return to the of-fensive line. Grover is a 6-0, 230-pound tackle and Barclay is a 6 feet, 265-pound guard. Joining the two seniors on the offensive line is 5-10, 260-pound sophomore Trey Colborn, who saw varsity playing time.

“We’re running an unbal-anced offensive line. It gives us an advantage because most teams run balanced lines and it’s something new to defend,” Kerr said. “It gives us a strong side and a quick side.”

Kerr pointed to junior Quinton Morrison, 5-10 and 190, as the Mustang’s cen-ter this year. Derrick Weir moves to the offensive line as a 5-10, 210-pound junior guard along with Alex Bauer, 5-10 and 190, at tackle.

At tight end, junior Bryce Misenhelter is a 6-1, 185-pound returner. Rotating in at that spot will be McDon-ald, 6-2 and 205.

In the backfield look for

Heffern as the fullback, ju-nior Adam Kauth as the wing back and junior Ja-cob Rhoads as the halfback. Rhoads saw playing duty offensively last year as a re-ceiver and running back.

“We have good depth at halfback with Jacob, John Whitworth and Kaden Ma-cha. They all are different types of runners and give us different looks. Jacob can catch the ball well while John is our purest running back type. Kaden is the pow-er back,” Kerr said.

“Adam has moved from quarterback to wing back and is getting comfortable in the role. He runs the ball and he’ll do some throwing out of his position. In the single-wing, the fullback is not your typical big blocking back. Eric moves around a lot and is doing a good job.”

Junior Tyler McIntosh is the backup quarterback with Clubine backing up Heffern at fullback and junior Jesse Zimmerman is the backup wing back.

At the receiver spot, Lar-ney and Morrison return on the offense. Both have seen varsity action in the past

couple of years. Harrison, a first-year senior, and junior Cody Conner are in the rota-tion at receiver.

Kerr said they are de-veloping backup offensive linemen. Colborn leads that group along with freshmen Ethan Sigg and Jesse Gib-son. He said freshmen Keen-an Badders and Brice Aiello are developing well for back-ups in the backfield and tight end spots.

DEFENSIVELY, the Mus-tangs have their two start-ing inside linebackers back although only one played the full season a year ago. McDonald suffered a season-ending knee injury in the season opener. The senior is back full force to anchor the defense. As a sophomore, Mc-Donald recorded 19 solo tack-les and 42 assisted tackles. He forced two fumbles and recovered three fumbles.

Macha turned in a strong freshman season as a start-ing linebacker. The sopho-more had 21 assisted tackles and 13 solo stops last year and recovered a fumble. Hef-fern is the other inside line-backer.

Weir had 15 assisted tack-les and 13 solo tackles a year ago. Clubine and sophomore Shane Walden are backup linebackers.

Up front on the defensive line is Colborn as noseguard. Misenhelter has solidified a spot at defensive end while Bauer, junior Eric Maxwell and Burton are in the rota-tion at the other defensive end spot.

“Our defensive line’s role is to demand double teams to clear the way for the middle linebackers to get to the ball. In the 36 defense, we have an extra safety who plays like another linebacker,” Kerr said.

Rhoads is a returning starter on defense, racking up 12 assisted tackles and 13 unassisted tackles. He will play free safety. McIntosh and Whitworth are the out-

Coaches got a good look at their volleyball teams over the weekend as three of the five area high school squads opened the 2012 season.

Marmaton Valley High’s Wildcats and the Crest High Lady Lancers, both with new coaches, competed in the Three Rivers League tournament Saturday at Arma.

Humboldt High’s Lady Cubs took the court in a tournament hosted by Prairie View High in LaCygne.

Yates Center High’s Wildcats open their season tonight at home. South-ern Coffey County High’s Lady Ti-tans get on the court Thursday.

Humboldt High SchoolLady Cubs

No seniors are on the Humboldt High volleyball team this year. No problem.

The Lady Cubs have plenty of var-sity experience in five juniors and two sopho-mores. Under the leadership of fourth-year head coach S t e p h a n i e Splechter and new assistant coach Cara Thomas, the young Lady Cubs are ready to forge upward.

Humboldt posted a 14-19 season record last year, which had six more match victories than the previous season.

“We’re going the right direction. This group is scrappy and aggres-sive defensively. We’re trying to fill some vacancies on the varsity left by graduation,” Splechter said. “We’re strong in the middle blocker posi-tion.”

Junior Sheri Middleton is the lead-ing returner for the Lady Cubs. The 6-2 middle hitter/blocker earned All-Tri-Valley League honors last year. Kayle Riebel is a 5-9 junior helping patrol the middle of the net.

Humboldt also returns its two set-ters in juniors Anna Setter and Mor-gan Morris. The top outside hitter returning for the Lady Cubs is 5-8 sophomore Breanna Kline who along

with Middleton hit with power at the net.

Junior Haley Riebel is another outside hitter. Sophomore Delaney Umholtz is a defensive specialist, playing the back for the Lady Cubs. Sophomore Rachel Taylor and fresh-man Megan Hudlin could come off the bench to see varsity playing time.

Other sophomores on the Hum-boldt team are Kasey Beeman, Chey-enne English, Chelsea Bailey, Wynn-ter Snyder, Jaci Ross, Miranda Albert and Brittany Smith. Along with Hud-lin, the Lady Cubs’ freshmen are Briana Ames, Hannah Hulett, Haylie Yost and Briana Yokum.

Yates Center High SchoolWildcats

Yates Center High’s Wildcats have four starters back off their 2011 16-19 team. Wildcat head coach Carrie Cummings is in her third year, after seven years coaching at Yates Center Middle School.

Senior outside hitter Addie Hughes, who is 5-7, led the team in kills and service aces garnering All-Tri-Valley League honors.

Working the middle of the net for are junior blockers Bailie Chambers and Lindsey Moyer.

At 6-feet, Chambers led the Wild-cats in blocks last year. Moyer is a 5-6 middle blocker and right-side hitter. Putting the net attacks in motion is senior setter Paige Steinforth, who led the team in set assists a year ago.

Returning letter winners are Kendra Leach, a 5-9 junior middle blocker and outside hitter; Mindi Holloway, a 5-6 junior outside hitter; Aubrey Smith, a 5-5 sophomore out-side hitter; and sophomore setters Rylie Albert and Shayna Karmann.

Freshmen on the team are Makay-la Jones, Ashley Pringle, Jessica Ros-sillon, Brooke King and Raylee Wad-dell.

Meghann Moss is Cummings’ new assistant coach.

Southern Coffey County HighLady Titans

Southern Coffey County High’s Lady Titans have three starters back on the court and five others expected to step up this year. To improve on last year’s 16-17 overall mark, sec-ond-year head coach Jeff True looks for the Lady Titans to be competitive.

“It’s an excellent group of young ladies who work hard to improve each day. Sarah Webb and Bre Isch give us strong hitting and Martyna Hegwald is a veteran setter,” True said of the team’s returning starters.

Webb is a 5-11 senior outside hit-ter and setter. She put down 191 kills and made 36 blocks at the net for the Lady Titans last year. Webb was a 96 percent server.

Breanna Isch is a 6-foot junior out-side/middle hitter with 110 kills and 49 blocks under her belt from a year ago. Hegwald, a 5-7 senior, was cred-ited with 129 set assists last year.

Junior Chenae Newkirk is a li-bero, playing the back row and serv-ing. Amanda Sherwood is a junior defensive specialist. Adding depth at the hitter spots are seniors Chelsea Snovell and Myranda Hegwald and junior Miranda Alumbaugh.

The Lady Titans play in the tough Lyon County League.

Other members of the SCCH team are senior Carley Nelson, juniors Ki-ane David, Sarah Stewart and Ashley Thomsen, sophomores Brittne Brite, Lydia Brooks, Jessica Cole, Kaylie Garretson, Connie Lyda, Callie Pat-terson and freshmen Kalyn Deal, Amber Emmons, Avery Hall, Maycee Hegwald and Jordan Walburn.

Tara Abendroth is the Lady Ti-tans’ assistant coach.

Yates Center High’s Wild-cats hit the gridiron in 2012 for their third year of eight-

man football. They also have their third head coach in as many seasons.

Eric Busteed comes to Yates Center High after be-ing the head coach at Al-toona-Midway High for one year. The Jets went 2-8 in eight-man football last year. Busteed had been the Jets’ head track and basketball coach for four years.

“I’m very optimistic about our season. We have solid players in every position and good numbers out,” Busteed said of his new team. Bust-eed’s coaching experience includes a head freshman

coaching position at a large Texas high school.

After going 0-9 last year, Yates Center has a 1-17 re-cord playing at the eight-man level. The Wildcats are working to turn their pro-gram around and chalk up a few more victories.

Busteed has Rex McVey as his assistant coach. McVey is a longtime coach and teacher in the Yates Center district.

“We play a very tough schedule but I feel we are go-ing to compete every week. We’re still a very young team,” Busteed said. The Wildcats have four seniors on their 22-man roster in 2012.

Three of those seniors are returning lettermen for the Cats. All are offensive linemen — 6-foot, 270-pound Garrison Hall, 5-4, 150-pound Alex Waddell and 5-7,

145-pound Kevin Morey. Ju-nior Robert Arnold is back at tight end at 6-1 and 200 pounds.

Battling for starting roles along the line are 6-foot, 270-pound sophomore Justin Bishop, 5-10, 175-pound soph-omore Drew Pringle and 5-10, 240-pound freshman Drey Es-tes.

Bryce Leon is back direct-ing the Wildcat offense. Leon is a 5-10, 135-pound sopho-more starting quarterback. Yates Center’s starting run-ning backs are junior Austin McNett, who is 6 feet and 180 pounds, and sophomore Jus-tin Rossillon, 5-10 and 185 pounds.

Working as running backs are juniors Caleb DeNoon and Cody Hunsperger. Kody Ratcliff, a junior, is set to see playing time at tight end.

Young but battle-tested are the 2012 Southern Coffey County High Titans. A year ago the Titans had 11 upper-classmen. Injuries thinned the ranks leaving the young-er Titans to step in and play football.

“Injuries and low num-bers in our senior and junior classes last year pushed our young kids into considerable playing time. Our record didn’t indicate it, but the kids made progress through-out the season,” said second-year Titan head coach Korey Lankton.

The Titans have 21 out with four seniors on the squad, all returning letter-men and three as starters. Southern Coffey County posted a 3-6 overall record and went 1-5 for sixth in the Lyon County League in 2011.

“Our guys have made gains in the off-season and worked well in early pre-season practices. We’re still a little short on upperclass-man numbers but I think the sophomores will make some gains off of last year’s expe-rience,” Lankton said.

Turner Anderson is a 5-9, 220-pound senior running back who earned second-team Grasslands Area hon-ors last year. Charlie Patter-son, a 5-9, 160-pound senior, got playing time in the back-field and is projected as a starting running back.

Senior Colton Toy and junior Chism Newkirk are working at quarterback. Toy is 5-9 and 135 pounds

and Newkirk is 5-8 and 130 pounds.

Up front in the offensive trenches will be honorable mention Grasslands se-lection Luke Kraft, a 5-10, 230-pound senior. Also back are junior Zach Loveall, 5-9 and 200, and sophomore Walker Harred, 5-10 and 230. Sophomore Josiah Witteman is back as tight end at 6-1 and 160 pounds.

Sophomores Brier John-son, 5-9 and 135, and Jor-dan Edwards, 6-3 and 260, are vying for offensive line spots. Tyler Houston, a 6-2, 160-pound junior, is in the mix at tight end.

“If the kids can continue to improve on fundamentals, we can use some of our size to our advantage,” Lank-ton said. “It’s important to us to improve on discipline as well. We cannot afford to

turn the ball over and need to minimize our penalties.”

Lankton said competition for starting spots on defense is wide open. Harred is back as linebacker after receiving second team Lyon County League honors. He is joined by Witteman at linebacker.

Kraft was one of the Ti-tans’ starting defensive ends a year ago. Newkirk and Pat-terson saw action ad defen-sive backs. Lankton said he expects Zach Roush, Loveall, Toy, Johnson, Houston and Michael Hill to battle for playing time.

“We know some teams on our schedule throw the ball well so we have to make strides overall defensively but even more so in pass de-fense,” Lankton said. “Our success relies quite a bit on controlling the ball and im-proving our overall defense.”

Looking at the Lyon Coun-ty League, Madison and Lebo are always strong but Marais Des Cygnes Valley and Wa-verly have key players back. Lankton said Burlingame may have the best quarter-back in Parker Lee.

The Titans are in the Kan-sas Eight-Man Division II District 3 with Crest, Cheto-pa, Waverly and Elk Valley. Altoona-Midway was also in the district but is not fielding a varsity team this season.

“I believe we can compete for a playoff spot. Waverly, Chetopa and Crest all return some dangerous ball players. We just have to go out each game and play solid foot-ball,” Lankton said.

Southern Coffey County picked up Baileyville B&B as an opponent when Altoona-Midway dropped out of the picture. That game is Oct. 12 at Le Roy.

The Titans go to LCL foe Burlingame Friday to begin the season.

Twenty-nine area athletes are priming themselves for the high school cross country season.

Humboldt High’s Cubs and Lady Cubs combine for 13 competitors. Yates Center High’s Wildcats are back after a year away from the sport. Marmaton Valley High has five runners set for the new season and Crest High has a new coach and six runners.

The Cubs have two returning run-ners in senior Nick Keazer and ju-nior Jimmy Mangold. Keazer earned All-Tri-Valley League honors. Others on the Humboldt boys’ squad are se-nior Jud Hawley, junior Layne Gon-zalez, sophomores Ethan Bartlett and Andrew Keazer and freshmen Dillon Aikins, Ronny Jarred, Bryce Isaac and Tanner Orth.

Kristin Todd, a returning senior, leads the Lady Cubs. Brooke Boat-wright is another senior on the squad and junior Kolbyn Allen.

“We have a large group of kids for our size school with 13 high school-ers and nine middle schoolers. That’s exciting to have such a big group out for middle school competition,” said

Eric Carlson, Humboldt cross coun-try coach.

Last year Paydne Durand and John Hull ran as seventh-graders. Those two are joined by eighth-grader Jules Jones along with Sarah Todd, Josh Vanatta, Wyatt Suefert, Scott Todd, Brady Slocum and Brooklyn Kuhn of the HMS seventh grade.

“Our kids are working hard and striving to prepare themselves for the upcoming season. Having the large group out is a strength, but we’re inexperienced,” Carlson said.

Humboldt and Yates Center com-pete in the Tri-Valley League meet late in the season.

A year ago, Yates Center’s cross country program was suspended for lack of numbers. In 2012, it has five boys and one girl out.

“It’s good to be able to offer the sport again. Sam Aguirre is back. He ran as a freshman and sophomore. He is our only experienced runner on the team,” said Kevin Barnes, YCHS cross country coach.

Aguirre played football last year and Barnes was an assistant football coach. Now, things are right with the world again for these two with the Wildcats’ cross country team back in force. Barnes has coached cross country at YCHS for 13 years.

Ceaton Cooper, another senior, came to Yates Center after school started last year. Cooper had a strong track season for the Wildcats in the spring. Barnes said Cooper ran cross country at his previous school.

Drake Busteed moved into Yates Center from Altoona-Midway after his father came to the district as a teacher and football coach. Busteed ran track as a freshman at Altoona-Midway and shows promise in the fall sport.

Brett Holloway and Tyler Keenan are freshmen who ran track in mid-dle school. Barnes said Holloway had an outstanding track season as an eighth-grader. Keenan ran sprints and hurdles in middle school.

The lone girl is freshman Sabrena Ariel. She ran the two-mile race in middle school and “loves running long distance.”

“Several really did a lot of condi-tion running over the summer and I’m pleased with all of their progress this early,” Barnes said.

Marmaton Valley High has three returning runners and one who came back into the sport after a year away. Ashtynn Louk is the only girl

on the team and the junior is ready for a strong third year running. She ran sixth in the varsity girls’ 4K race at the Three Rivers League meet a year ago.

Chance Stevenson and Garrett Booth, both juniors, are the experi-enced runners for the Wildcat boys. Stevenson finished third in the Three Rivers League varsity race and Booth was 12th. Marcus Miller, a senior, didn’t run last year but did compete in cross country as a sopho-more.

Mark Wagner is a freshman run-ner for the Wildcats.

“We might have a few more come out after school starts. Several have voiced an interest in competing this year but we’ll see,” said sixth-year head coach Stephen Smith. “Those out worked through our summer running program.”

Smith said the goals of the MVHS Wildcat runners are to work hard each day and improve over last year.

Chris Dvorak brings the strength of running cross country and track at the high school and college level to Crest High’s program. Dvorak, who ran for DeSoto High School and Em-poria State for four years, is the new Lancer cross country coach.

“Key to any program is to make sure the athletes enjoy the sport. I want our kids to have a good experi-ence and see improvement in their times as we move through the sea-son,” Dvorak said.

Sophomores Brooklyn Gray La-Cross and Madison Kellar are the only girls out at Crest. Both are re-turning from last year.

Senior David Womelsdorf leads the Crest boys’ team, which has a transfer junior and two freshmen on it. Mike Armstrong ran for Iola High the past two seasons and brings plen-ty of experience.

“Those four runners have been working well in practices. I expect them to have strong seasons. We have two freshmen — Kaden Strick-ler and Dal Lacey — who are new to the sport. We also have Nate Berry, an eighth-grader, running with us,” Dvorak said.

Humboldt opens the season at An-derson County High Invitational in Garnett Thursday. Marmaton Valley, Crest and Yates Center begin the sea-son Thursday at a meet in Burling-ton.

Experience is among the ranks of Yates Center High’s Wildcat golf team in 2012.

The Wildcat girls have four re-turning from last year and three first-year players.

Senior Sami Hatch and junior Becky Wendland have played the links for three years for the Wild-cats. Bailee Stuber, a senior, and sophomore Marlana Buchanan are in their second year of golf com-petition.

“I see quite a bit of improve-ment from the returning players,” said Linda Old, who has coached

golf for 17 years. “I’m expecting these girls to be competitive this season.”

Newcomers this season are ju-nior Rachel Busteed and sopho-mores Mazie Wilson and Brecken Collins.

“The girls are practicing hard, concentrating on distance, direc-tion and club choice,” Old said.

“We have eight meets scheduled this season and the girls are look-ing forward to getting the season started.”

Yates Center travels to Caney Thursday to swing into 2012 golf action.

Jeremy Weilert is the special teams coordinator for the Cubs. He and Taylor coach the defensive backs. Derek Wrestler coaches the offensive and defensive line players.

In the Tri-Valley League, Criss sees competition as tough as always giving the preseason favorite nod to Caney Valley.

“It’s a balanced league and we can-not afford to take any Friday night off,” Criss said.

Humboldt has two non-league games at home to open the season. This Friday the Cubs host Northeast High of Arma.

H CubsContinued from page 10

“We’re working on developing leaders on the field and competing on each down during games,” Bust-eed said.

Defensively, McNett, Rossillon and Arnold are back as linebackers while Waddell and Hall shore up the line. Also expected to be in the defensive trenches are Hunsperger, Bishop, Pingle and Estes. DeNoon is a line-backer defensively.

Morey returns to the defensive backfield. Anthony Keenan, a senior, is a defensive back, as is Ratcliff.

Yates Center is a Tri-Valley League member but no other league team plays eight-man football.

The Wildcats are in a tough Kan-

sas Eight-Man I district with Marma-ton Valley, Marais Des Cygnes Valley, St. Paul, Pleasanton and Uniontown. Marmaton Valley is coming off a deep run into the playoffs and Union-town dropped down from Class 3A competition.

“Marmaton Valley is going to be very solid and MDCV has good athletes. Uniontown is going to be good because of size and numbers,” said Busteed. “St. Paul will be well-coached and ready to play and Pleas-anton has been very good in the past.”

Busteed is pushing his players to be competitive and expects it each Friday night. The Wildcats open the season at home against Sedan Friday.

K.B. Criss, right, is in his second stint as Humboldt High School head football coach. Criss, who is the Humboldt USD 256 superinten-dent, was an assistant coach on the Cub staff last year.

side linebackers. Zimmerman, and Larney are vying for a starting spot in the defensive backfield.

Kauth and Morrison will play cor-nerback on the defense.

Kerr said the focus of the final two weeks of preseason practice will be on tackling.

“We have got to be better tacklers. These kids have put in the work in the

weight room and we’re stronger. We have to have confidence in ourselves and go out and tackle,” Kerr said.

Larney is Iola’s punter. Kerr said the Mustangs are using a rugby-style punt this year. Junior Isaias Macias is the team’s placekicker.

“Isaias has improved his range and I’m comfortable in having him attempt field goals from 25 to 30 yards

out. We’ll attempt more extra point kicks this year. Mason Key, a fresh-man, is our backup kicker. He has played on the traveling soccer team here in Iola,” Kerr said.

Kerr has one hold-over coach. Cody Hager is coaching the inside linebackers and helping with offen-sive line.

New assistant coaches are Brad

Carson, the offensive and defensive line coach, Dana Daugharthy, the running back and outside lineback-er coach and Kim Robertson, who coaches wide receivers and defensive backs. Kerr works with the quarter-backs and free safeties.

“We have to stay healthy and just get better from one day to the next, one game to the next,” Kerr said.

coach. Kegler, a former MVHS stand-out, takes over the Wildcat program that went 12-23 a year ago.

Kegler was head coach for the Wild-cats from 2006 to 2007.

The Wild-cats have three starters back in senior hitters Kailey Boyd (5-8) and Kacie Shadden (5-7) and junior hitter Kaitlin Ensminger (5-8). Boyd earned Three Rivers League honor-able mention as a junior.

“A majority of our girls are able to play all the positions and our upper-classmen have varsity experience,” Kegler said. “We’re small and we

need to build our confidence on the court.”

The Wildcats have two seniors set-ters in Tabitha Ford and MaRyiah Cavender and two sophomore setters in Kenzie Harrison and Kaysha El-menhorst.

Working in the hitting spots are 5-10 junior Emily Meiwes and 6-foot freshman Mackenzie Tynon. Sopho-more Emily Boyd and freshman Ash-lynn Pinkerton are in the mix at hit-ter.

“Our goal this year is to turn the program around and have a winning mentality. The girls are working hard in practices and understanding their roles,” Kegler said.

“We’re going to be competitive on the court this season. Each team we play will be a challenge but our girls are ready to take them on.”

Other players on the team are ju-nior Jocelyn Miller, sophomores Tes-sa Olson, Molly Hamlin and Shauna Knight and freshmen Ruby Mann and Tanna Lutz.

Crest High SchoolLady Lancers

Abigail Hermreck is not a strang-er to Crest High’s volley-ball players. She has been a teacher in the Crest district for six years and her husband is a teacher and the CHS boys’ bas-ketball coach.

Hermreck enters her first year as head coach for the Lady Lancers. She

played volley ball at St. Marys High School and at Ottawa University.

“We have 14 players on the team and the girls have responded well in practices. They are working hard to improve their game,” Hermreck said.

Returning to the Lady Lancer volleyball team this year are senior hitter Kurston Gilliland and senior hitter/setter Brytton Strickler. Gil-liland is 5 -11½ and Strickler is 5-7.

Also back are junior hitters Emily Frank (5-7) and Paige Tush (5-6) and sophomore hitters Brianna Scovill (5-7) and Tiffany Jackman (5-4). Mad-ison Covey is a 5-4 sophomore setter.

Others on the team are seniors Maley Sherman and Shandra Sed-lack, sophomores Emmalee Seabolt and Alyssa Boeck and freshmen Ash-ley Geary, Lupita Rodrigues and Em-ily Weber.

Lohman, Vogel and Court-ney Smith, who ran junior varsity for Iola a year ago, are the Fillies returners. The newcomers are freshmen Ab-igail Taylor and Klair Vogel and senior Stephanie Blake.

“We ran Jo in the 400 and 800 races during track sea-son in the spring to get some speed in to her workouts. She did very well,” Smith said.

“Abigail has been amazing in practice even though it did not come as a surprise. I watched her in middle school races and she ran three dis-tance races in each meet, winning most of them in-cluding the 3200-meter race.”

Smith said Taylor logged a lot of miles, even in the extreme heat this summer. Smith has pegged Lohman and Taylor to run in varsity races throughout the season while the others run in ju-nior varsity races.

He said Klair Vogel ran sprints in middle school and Blake is a first-year senior.

LOOKING AT the Pioneer League meet, Smith likes the

Mustangs’ chances of win-ning the league title. He said Wellsville, Osawatomie and Anderson County are the frontrunners as teams along with Iola.

For the girls, Ander-son County is the reigning league champion with five of their six runners back.

Smith said most of the Pioneer League schools have middle school cross country programs. Iola freshman Colby Works ran in eighth-grade races last fall at meets with the IHS teams.

This year Iola will have Megan Klubek, Braden Plumlee and Kendall Jay competing in middle school races at meets where offered.

As usual, Iola opens the cross country season Thurs-day at Anderson County High Invitational in Garnett. The Pioneer League meet is Oct. 11 at Wellsville.

THE IOLA HIGH Doc Stiles Invitational is chang-ing venues this season. The Doc Stiles Invitational is Tuesday, Sept. 18 and will be held on the campus of Allen Community College instead of Riverside Park.

“The city has done a lot of work in the park and it dumped the dirt it cleared out of areas right on our starting area. It’s pretty rough right now so we de-cided to move the meet to the college campus,” Smith said.
