Allen Countians took ad-vantage of Allen Community College’s College Goal Sunday to learn how their high school seniors could receive the Free Application for Federal Stu-dent Aid (FASFA).

The annual one-day na-tional event began with an in-formal question-and-answer session where family and stu-dents could learn the impor-tance of applying for aid.

FASFA is an under utilized aid for students and families paying tuition.

The application must be re-newed each year. Lillie Grubb, a volunteer from Fort Scott Community College, said a good way to remember is to always do it when it’s time to file taxes.

Crest High School senior Brytton Strickler, and her mother Sammye Strickler, said they came to the event

to “get the help. We had ques-tions,” Sammye said.

Fundraiser for Jefferson student brings in $825

By BOB JOHNSONbob@iolaregister.com

Raef Casner got financial help for his recovery from a liver transplant Saturday, thanks to more than 20 women who spent the day cutting and pasting and arranging photo-graphs in albums.

A scrapbooking fundraiser, organized and directed by Nancy Cokely, elementary art teacher, ran on for about 12 hours in Iola High’s commons area. Each participant paid registration of $25 and gave at their discretion for snacks and meals, furnished by Jef-ferson Elementary staff.

“We raised about $825,” Cokely said, and it would have been more except lingering

snow and ice from Thursday’s winter storm kept a few out-of-town scrapbookers at home.

“We had 22 of 30 who signed up, along with vendors from Colony, Independence and Humboldt,” Cokely said.

Young Casner is a fifth-grad-er at Jefferson Elementary, the son of Leah Casner, who works as a paraprofessional in a Jefferson kindergarten room.

His was diagnosed with liver cancer in August and underwent two types of che-motherapy. In January he was told to gain weight — lost dur-ing treatment — so he could be placed on a liver transplant list.

Sabra’s serenade Thursday

Sabra Aguirre, Yates Cen-ter, will sing a wide variety of songs, some from Lady Gaga, U2 and Cold Play, at the Ware-house Theatre, 203 S. Jeffer-son Ave., Thursday evening at 7 o’clock for another in Iola Community Theatre’s five-year run of One Night Stands.

Aguirre also will play piano and have backup from Iolan Jared Ellis on guitar.

The performance was to have been last Thursday, but the snow storm forced post-ponement to this week.

This appearance will be in stark contrast to her first ever.

“When I was four, Mom pushed me up in front of the congregation” at their church, knowing her little girl had a voice and stage pres-ence far in advance of her age,

Aguirre said.Performing has been a part

of her life ever since and if she had the financial where-withal that’s what she’d be do-ing full time.

“I don’t have the luxury right now to just sing,” said Aguirre, 21. “It’s hard to get established.”

In the meantime, she works at mother Pam Tressler’s shop, Class Act Salon.

Thursday’s night appear-ance will include solos as well as some duets with Ellis, with whom she sings at Saturday night’s Fellowship Regional Church services and where he is minister. No admission will be charged and refreshments will be provided.

Gov.’s tax vision leads to backlash

See FUNDRAISER | Page A4

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback is trying to sell the tax plan he’s outlined this year as only one part of a multi-year effort to position Kansas to phase out personal income taxes, but he faces a backlash from legislators viewing tax issues with a shorter-term perspective.

Brownback continues to receive praise in national conservative circles for his commitment to phasing out individual income taxes to spur long-term economic growth. Kansas enacted mas-sive individual income tax cuts last year, and fellow Re-publican governors are at least talking about following suit.

But to keep Kansas from

becoming a cautionary tale, Brownback and the state’s GOP-dominated Legislature must stabilize the state bud-get, too. Even as Brownback promises future reductions in individual income tax rates, he’s pushing to eliminate two popular income tax deduc-tions for homeowners and to cancel a decrease in the sales tax scheduled for July.

Democrats and some Re-publicans have attacked this

year’s tax plan from Brown-back as a big net tax increase over the next three years. The Department of Revenue responded last week with new projections showing the revenue-raising measures still don’t offset last year’s tax cuts. The governor’s al-lies contend lawmakers must view both together and re-member the long-term goal — though they acknowledge doing so is difficult in a State-house focused on annual bud-gets and biennial elections.

“You really get lost in all the details,” said Senate Ma-jority Leader Terry Bruce, a conservative Hutchinson Re-publican and Brownback ally. “You’re obsessed to a certain

Five members of the Happy Hearts FCE met at the New Community Building in Riverside Park.

Ann Houk, hostess, gave the lesson on emo-tional appetite: food and mood connection.

Mood has much to do with many foods people crave when they aren’t physically hungry, Houk said. Eating to feed an emotion (feelings) instead of physical hunger is con-sidered emotional eating. Stress, depression, loneli-ness, frustration, anxiety and anger are just a few emotions that can trig-ger cravings, she said. Boredom and procrasti-

nation are not necessar-ily considered emotions, but they are the most common reasons people eat when they are not hungry, Houk added, and that food may be used to pass time or put off doing things.

If you have emotional cravings for food, try call-ing a friend, reading a book, do some light clean-ing, go for a walk, or play or listen to music, Houk said. Or, brush your teeth — the fresh minty taste of toothpaste will likely deter many sweet related cravings, she said.

The next FCE meet-ing will be at the park on March 18 at 7 p.m.

How to contact your elected officials

Kansas is a high-risk state when it comes to Fri-day’s expected across-the-board cuts. That’s because proportionately, Kansas depends more on federal funds than the bulk of its peers. Federal funds com-prise almost 33 percent of the Kansas budget, putting us 35th among other states.

Nationwide, states will see about 18 percent of their budgets cut through the sequestration.

The projected savings of the cuts is $1 trillion over the next 10 years. For 2013, savings is expected to be $85 billion. The downside is a projected loss of 800,000 jobs making for a 9 percent unemployment rate on top of a decline of 0.5 percent of economic activity — in essence another recession.

States like Kansas that are banking on increased activity due to widespread tax cuts will be especially hard hit because those hoped-for windfalls will have had the wind taken out of their sails by the fed-eral fallout.

The state, for example, will now be expected to pick up the tab for federal cuts to education and nutri-tion programs, as well as public housing subsidies, drug enforcement, highway construction and agricul-tural programs.

An estimated 300 fewer leases for oil and gas drill-ing will be the result of cuts to the Department of Interi-or. Meat and poultry plants can expect fewer inspec-tions, delaying necessary deadlines and putting some in the industry at risk.

Kansas can expect to see a 6 percent reduction in fed-eral grants, a 6.3 percent re-duction in federally based wages and salaries, and a 5.1 percent reduction in wages and salaries related to our country’s national defense.

In education alone, the cuts will affect the fund-ing of everything from our SAFE BASE after-school program, which is funded through a 21st Century Community Learning Cen-ter grant, to Title I learning

programs that help provide special education teachers, to the community college’s adult basic and literacy ed-ucation grants, to name but a few.

SEQUESTRATION first got on the table because the idea was so bad that it would force Congress to construct a workable budget. In the summer of 2011, House Republicans re-fused to raise the debt limit without significant debt reduction. In response, the Budget Control Act of 2011 allowed the debt ceiling to rise in return for $1.2 tril-lion in cuts devised by a congressional super com-mittee. If the super com-mittee failed to agree on which cuts to make, then both domestic and defense cuts for the next 10 years would be enacted.

And so here we are.For every dollar cut to an

after-school program, for example, another is made to a military base. The real harm is that by law the cuts are unilateral. There’s no discretion allowed. Good and bad programs alike will see a 10 percent reduc-tion in funding.

Paychecks beginning March 7 will reflect a 9.4 percent reduction. By April 6, the Department of De-fense will begin issuing lay-offs and furloughs.

DEMOCRATS and Re-publicans remain far apart on how to stave off the di-saster. Democrats want a 50-50 mix of spending cuts and tax increases to right the budget. Republicans in-sist on cuts alone, singling out Medicaid, food stamps and children’s health insur-ance as the best targets.

The question is not whether we can weather the cuts. We all bear scars from the damage of the 2008 recession.

The question is whether as a country this brink-manship is how we should manage our affairs. Write your members of Congress today. Demand responsible government.

— Susan Lynn

Random cuts to hit good & bad targets

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The White House compiled the num-bers from federal agencies and its own budget office. The numbers reflect the impact of the cuts this year. Unless Congress acts by Fri-day, $85 billion in cuts are set to take effect from March-September.

As to whether states could move money around to cover shortfalls, the White House said that depends on state budget structures and the specific programs. The White House did not have a list of which states or programs might have flexibility

Some examples of how au-tomatic budget cuts could affect Kansas:

EDUCATION:— About $5.5 million in funding

for primary and secondary educa-tion, putting around 80 teacher and aide jobs at risk.

— Head Start and Early Head Start services would be eliminated for about 500 children.

ENVIRONMENT— About $1.8 million in environ-

mental funding.— About $772,000 in grants for

fish and wildlife protection.MILITARY AND LAWENFORCEMENT— About 8,000 civilian Depart-

ment of Defense employees would be furloughed, reducing gross pay by around $36.7 million in total.

— About $78 million for Army base operations in Kansas.

— About $1 million for Air Force operations in Kansas.

— About $149,000 in Justice

Assistance Grants.JOB SEARCH— About $322,000 in funding

for job search assistance, referral, and placement.

HEALTH— About $85,000 in reduced

funding for vaccinations.— About $273,000 in funds to

help upgrade state’s ability to re-spond to public health threats.

— About $610,000 in grants to help prevent and treat substance abuse.

— About $65,000 for the Kan-sas State Department of Health and Environment.

— Up to $61,000 in funding for services to victims of domestic vio-lence.

— About $209,000 in funds that provide meals for seniors.

How Kansas will fare in cuts

It seems to be a foregone conclusion that across-the-board federal spending cuts will go into effect Friday that are harmful to the recover-ing economy and were never intended to become law. Presi-dent Barack Obama and con-gressional Republicans are pointing fingers at each other, but there is plenty of blame to go around. This self-inflicted damage to families, national security and the economy could be avoided if the presi-dent and Congress put the nation above political games-manship.

The gridlock in Washington is why so many voters have so little trust in government. Let’s remember that seques-tration was designed to be so distasteful to both Republi-cans and Democrats that it would force a grand deal on reducing the federal deficit. When the president and Con-gress failed at that, the best they could do at the end of last year was delay sequestration for two months. Once again, a manufactured crisis is loom-ing and the federal govern-ment is incapable of reaching a compromise.

This time, the consequences are very real. Barring a last-

minute miracle, $85 billion in spending cuts will kick in Fri-day affecting everyday lives. From longer waits at airports to longer waits for justice in federal courts, from fewer small business loans to slower response after hurricanes and other disasters, the impact will be real. Thousands of children will lose Head Start, and hundreds of thousands of mentally ill adults and emo-tionally disturbed children could lose their treatments. Imposing arbitrary spending cuts without regard to the con-sequences because Democrats and Republicans are fighting in Washington is no way to run a nation.

OBAMA BEARS more than a little responsibility. He failed to act on the recommendations of the Simpson-Bowles com-mittee that he created, which proposed a combination of revenue increases and tar-geted spending cuts. He failed to nail down a grand bargain with House Speaker John Boehner when it was within reach, although Boehner de-serves blame for pulling back from those private talks. Since his re-election, the president has persuaded Congress to let

the Bush-era tax cuts expire on the wealthiest taxpayers and delay another fight over raising the debt ceiling. But Obama has not been specific enough about raising rev-enue and reducing spending to avoid the sequester, and he missed an opportunity to talk in detail about it with the American public during his State of the Union address.

Boehner and other congres-sional Republicans are equally to blame. The only reasonable way to significantly reduce the deficit is through a combi-nation of raising revenue and reducing spending. Too many Republicans, including mem-bers of Florida’s congressio-nal delegation, cling to the no-new-taxes mantra to remain in good graces with their par-ty’s most conservative wing. That is not in the nation’s best interests.

It would be foolish and self-defeating for the economy to slip backward because the president and Congress are deadlocked in a partisan fight. Sequestration was never the right answer. Obama and con-gressional Republicans ought to come together and agree on a smarter way forward.

“I was in both the chil-dren’s and adult choir,” Aguirre recalled.

Then, at age 14, she tried out for “Beehive,” along with her mother, whose education and love is music.

“You were supposed to be 18 to try out and I just

left the age line blank,” Aguirre said.

Richard Spencer, the director, was so im-pressed with her vocal and stage expertise, as well as maturity, that he overlooked the age re-quirement.

extent with just the next vote a lot of times.”

The Senate plans to de-bate tax legislation this week, and most of Brown-back’s plan cleared its As-sessment and Taxation Committee. Bruce is con-fident that Republicans, who hold a 32-8 major-ity, will rally around the governor’s proposals, but Democrats plan to offer their own plan, and some GOP alternatives are pos-sible.

Brownback wants to phase in a second round of cuts in individual in-come tax rates over the next four years. His plan also would trigger further rate reductions in the fu-ture if economic growth is robust, though there’s no specific date for the end of the personal in-come tax.

To stabilize the bud-get, Brownback is pro-posing to eliminate income tax deductions that Kansans receive for the property taxes on their homes and the interest on their home mortgages. Also, he’d keep the sales tax at its current rate of 6.3 per-cent, rather than letting it drop to 5.7 percent in July, as promised by bud-get-balancing legislation three years ago.

The Senate commit-tee’s version preserves the deduction for prop-erty taxes but scraps the mortgage interest and sales tax breaks. The bill would net the state $918 million in new revenues over the next three years, before taxpayers saw most of the benefit from cutting individual in-come tax rates further.

Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan contends it’s unfair to think of this year’s proposals in iso-lation. His department projects that last year’s

reductions will save tax-payers almost $2.7 billion during the same three years, more than offset-ting any revenue-raising measures proposed this year.

And Brownback made the same revenue-raising proposals last year in pushing to reduce income tax rates and exempt the owners of 191,000 part-nerships, sole propri-etorships and other busi-nesses from income taxes altogether. A balky Legis-lature passed the big cuts but jettisoned unpopular “pay-fors” the governor had sought to create a “glide path” without bud-get problems. Brownback signed the result, arguing that overly aggressive tax cuts were better for the economy than the status quo.

“If we would have had the pay-fors that were pro-posed last year passed, we would be in a totally dif-ferent situation,” Jordan said last week.

Yet some legislators view last year’s cuts as history and focus on what Brownback’s latest plan does going forward. Democrats who argued that last year’s cuts were reckless now portray the Republican governor as a tax-increaser.

At least a few conserva-tive Republicans wonder why Kansas would miss the opportunity present-ed by last year’s tax cuts to downsize state govern-ment. They’re also wary of approving revenue-raising measures this year with only a promise that personal income taxes eventually could be phased out thanks to the governor’s plan.

“I want to talk about what it does today,” said Sen. Dennis Pyle, a con-servative Hiawatha Re-publican.

Yet Brownback retains the backing of national conservative figures.

Grover Norquist, presi-dent of the influential anti-tax group Americans for Tax Reform, said it’s easy to understand the skepticism facing Brown-back this year. Norquist said in the past, proposals to eliminate tax breaks have been designed to support new spending and increase the size of government.

“This is just a dif-ferent question than they’ve ever seen before,” Norquist said.

Wintry weather alters schedules — B4

By RICHARD LUKENrichard@iolaregister.com

SALINA — Stephen McDon-ald’s run through the Class 4A state wrestling tournament came to a “tough, but reward-ing” end Saturday.

McDonald garnered a berth in the 220-pound champion-ship match after a thrilling late pin of Pratt High’s Austin Gates in his semifinal match earlier in the day.

He then faced Justin Scott of Jefferson West High in the finale.

Scott was undefeated on the 2013 season, and quickly showed his powerful combi-nation of speed and strength against McDonald.

The two fighters clinched early in the first period before Scott was awarded two points for a takedown at the 30-sec-ond mark.

McDonald, as he had done earlier in the day — all sea-son, for that matter — did not go down without a fight. He strained and twisted, looking for any means of escape.

None was to be had.Scott found enough torque

to push McDonald onto his back about a minute later, and was rewarded with a pin at the

1:34 mark.McDonald settled for a sil-

ver medal, ending his season at 24-4.

In other state wrestling ac-tion, Iola’s Trey Colborn was eliminated in consolation ac-tion Saturday, falling to Coo-per Zeller of Holton, 9-6. Bryce Misenhelter’s state run ended Friday with a loss to Luke Car-ey of Tonganoxie.

“The Scott kid is tough,” said Iola High wrestling coach Brad Carson, complimenting him as being a “mauler.”

The loss did little to dimin-ish the luster of McDonald’s unprecedented run through the tournament for an Iola High wrestler. He earned the first state medal in the school’s five-year history.

“I think what Stephen showed us throughout the season was his intensity,” Car-son said. “Every match, every practice, he approached the same intensity as he would if it was for a state title. He’s one of the most competitive wres-tlers I’ve ever seen at the high school level.”

NOWHERE was the compet-itive spirit more in evidence than in McDonald’s semifinal win over Gates, culminating with a whirlwind sequence in which McDonald entered the last 30 seconds of the match down in points and with Gates seemingly in control, having scored four straight points to make up a 3-1 deficit. Gates’ reversal and takedown of McDonald had given him a 5-3 lead as the seconds ticked away.

Even worse, McDonald was growing visibly exhausted.

“I was pretty tired by then,” McDonald said. “I knew I had to do something.”

He was able to emerge from Gates’ grasp using what he de-scribed as a “Peterson move” — only possible from a sitting position — and twisted out of Gates’ grasp. He scored two points with a reversal, then continued pushing Gates to the mat with a pin with 12 seconds remaining. The move

COLONY — Crest High’s regular season came to a dis-appointing end Saturday.

The Lancers’ 52-42 loss to St. Paul leaves the team with two options as the Class 1A, Divi-sion II substate playoffs begin, Crest coach Travis Hermreck said.

“It is pretty simple. Either we toughen up and give our best, or we watch basketball when we should be playing. I don’t know how else to say it,” Hermreck said.

In girls action, St. Paul turned on the jets in the sec-ond and third quarters to win, 60-16.

The Indians outscored Crest 41-8 over the second and third, including a 24-2 third-quarter spurt.

The loss drops the Lady Lancers to 2-18

Kurston Gilliland scored six points, Brooklynn LaCross four and Emmalee Seabolt three to lead the Lady Lanc-ers.

The Lady Lancers head to Iola tonight to take on Altoona-Midway in the first round of the Class 1A, Divi-sion II Substate Tournament at the Allen Community Col-lege gymnasium. The winner advances Thursday to play Southern Coffey County in semifinal action.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — As the cars barreled into the final lap, there was a chance the improbable might happen at the Daytona 500.

Jimmie Johnson, the five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, led the field with Greg Biffle on his tail and Danica Patrick stuck to Bif-fle’s rear bumper.

If Patrick could find a way to maneuver around Johnson and Biffle, Patrick would be-

come the first woman to win the sport’s crown-jewel race, in only her second attempt.

But for as strongly as Pat-rick ran Sunday, at the end her inexperience showed. She was passed by several cars on the last lap, and John-son never relinquished the lead to win his second Day-tona 500.

“Once I had control of the race, I knew I was sitting on a lot of speed,” Johnson said of

TISHIMINGO, Okla. — Allen Community College split a pair of tournament games over the weekend, roaring to a lopsided win Saturday over Dodge City Community College, then dropping a game Sunday at host Murray State.

The Red Devils’ 12-4 win and 7-3 loss put the team’s record at 3-4.

The Red Devils next host Oklahoma Wesleyan Thursday and Kansas City, Kan., over the weekend.

Allen wasted little time in the opener, erupting for six runs in the bottom of the first and five more in the third.

Meanwhile, starter Tan-ner Lee scattered six hits and three walks over six innings of work, with six strikeouts.

Allen sent 11 men to the

plate in the first. Jerrik Sigg and Tim Lewis began the proceedings against Dodge City with a single and double, followed by a Garret Rasch sacrifice fly and doubles by Nate Ar-nold and Cody Amerine to lead 3-0. Troy Willoughby and Heffern followed with back-to-back singles, Hef-fern’s driving in Amerine. Trey Francis’ single scored Willoughby. An infield sin-gle by Lewis scored Heffern for the sixth run.

Ten more came to bat in the third, led off by Drew Walden’s single. Lewis’ hit scored Walden. Arnold’s double drove in Sigg, fol-lowed by run-scoring sin-gles by Amerine and Wil-loughby.

ARKANSAS CITY — Sever-al long-range shots kept Allen Community College within striking distance Saturday, before host Cowley College pulled away with its size in-side.

Allen was within six points of the Tigers midway through the second half be-fore Cowley extended its lead to double digits in a 71-61 win.

The loss drops Allen’s re-cord to 6-23 overall and 2-15 in Jayhawk Conference and Region VI standings. The Red Devils wrap up regular sea-son action Wednesday on the road at Johnson County. The Region VI playoffs begin Sat-urday. Allen likely will travel to Barton County or Butler County Saturday to open postseason play.

Allen coach Andy Shaw said Cowley’s play at the of-fensive glass was key in the

first half. The Tigers con-verted 10 offensive rebounds into 12 second-chance points in the first half to take a 31-23 lead. Seth Walden and Ben Uno connected on back-to-back 3-pointers to help Allen close to within six, but the Red Devils got no closer.

Bryce Schippers led the way for Allen with 14 points on 4-of-9 shooting from 3-point range. Andrew Rountree fol-lowed with 10 points and 10 rebounds. DeAndrae Barnett also scored 12. Uno had nine.

The Red Devils were with-out the service of Cameron Blue because of illness. He has missed all or most of four consecutive games.

Dominque McKoy led the way for Cowley with 16 points and 18 rebounds.

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words. The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler. Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging five-star puzzle.

Jake Johnson pitched 2 2/3 scoreless innings of relief, with one hit and two strike-outs. Jarred Latta also pitched a third of an inning, giving up a hit and two walks.

THE HITS were hard-er to come by Sunday. Murray State led 2-0 be-fore Sigg homered on a 1-1 count with one out in the top of the sixth.

His shot was coun-tered by three more Murray State runs in the bottom of the in-ning and two more in the seventh.

Nate Arnold’s double in the top of the eighth drove in Walden and Lewis.

Seth Jones got the start for Allen and was the hard-luck loser, giv-ing up only a run on four hits in his three

drew a hearty roar from his small but vocal cheering squad in the Bicentennial Center’s upper deck.

“Stephen deserved that win,” Carson said. “He worked hard and stayed focused every single day” to the point that Carson would fre-quently use McDonald’s example on the mat to Iola’s younger wrestlers.

“He’s just so good at his escapes and on bot-tom, partly because he’s so physical, and he’s so intense,” Carson said. “I hope our other wres-tlers were able to use his example to see how they can improve.”

COLBORN’S run through the 285-pound bracket ended with a consolation match loss to Holton’s Cooper Zeller, 9-6.

The bulk of the ac-tion occurred during a frenetic second period, which started with a 0-0 score and ended with Zeller on top 7-6.

The wrestlers went through a whirlwind sequence of reversals, with neither able to fully gain control.

Zeller secured the match with a two-point reversal early in the third quarter. An ex-hausted Colborn could never escape.

Colborn exited with a 1-2 record at state. On Friday, he lost to Brendan Neal of Perry-Lecompton, 5-2, before winning 8-1 over Steven Degollado of Ulysses.

“I gave it everything I had and then some,” Col-born said. “It was a good

experience, although I wish I could have won some more matches.”

The experience left Colborn hungry to re-turn as a junior in 2014.

“Oh, definitely, I want to make it back,” he said.

Colborn ended 2013 with a 19-11 record.

MISENHELTER, too, said he hopes to use the experience of his state tournament as motiva-tion to improve. He lost to eventual 182-pound champion Levi Eck in the first round, then dropped a 12-2 decision to Carey.

“I was glad to make it to state,” he said. “I was a little nervous at the start. I settled down in my second match. I hope to do better next year.” Misenhelter went 31-14 this season.

SEVERAL other schools with names familiar to local wres-tling fans also claimed state medals.

Chanute High’s

Adam Cole and Jared Fiscus each placed third at 126 and 145 pounds, respectively, while Nick Ornelas and Will Divine both finished sixth at 113 and 285 pounds.

Fort Scott High’s Vic-tor Hughes took third place at 138 pounds, while Jerad Heckman and Jacob Durossette were fourth at 126 and 145 pounds, respectively. John Metcalf finished fifth at 195 pounds.

Prairie View’s Ka-leb Konitzer earned a state championship at 132 pounds by debating

Kyle Wilson of Wamego in the finale. Matt Kell-erman placed second at 285 pounds, losing to Joe Pomatto of Paola in the championship. Jake Brad-ley was third at 182 pounds.

Osawatomie’s Matt Lofing was fourth at 182 pounds, while Andrew Cannon placed fifth at 138 pounds.

Holton took home the team champion-ship with 104.5 points, and Andale with 90.5. Iola placed 28th with 24 points. Fifty-six schools participated in the state tournament.

his No. 48 Chevrolet. “I had a lot of confidence in the final few laps.”

Johnson’s teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. was second, giving their Hendrick Motorsports team a 1-2 finish; Mark Martin was third and reigning Cup cham-pion Brad Keselowski finished fourth. Biffle was sixth.

Patrick finished eighth, making more history as she kicked off her first full sea-son in the Cup series at Daytona International Speedway.

It was the highest fin-ish for a woman in the Daytona 500, and she also led five laps, be-coming the first female driver to lead a lap in the famed race. When she took the lead for the first time on Lap 90, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Patrick, 30, started on the pole — the first wom-an to accomplish that feat too — and hoped to lead the first lap, but Jeff Gordon passed her immediately after the green flag waved.

But as the field stayed in a single-file freight train for most of the race, Patrick kept her No. 10 Chevro-let near the lead on the high-banked, 2.5-mile track, earning her add-ed respect among NAS-CAR’s veterans.

“She’s going to make a lot of history all year long,” Earnhardt said. “She knew what to do today as far as track position and not taking risks. She’s a racer.”

Patrick herself was subdued afterward, saying, “Today is a day I can look at and be happy for certain things and learn from others. Nothing super-duper eventful.”

She acknowledged being uncertain as to how to press for the win at the finish, “so I feel like maybe that’s just my inexperience. Maybe that’s me not thinking hard enough. I don’t know.

“It was a solid day, steady day,” she said. And Patrick down-played her latest mile-stones as a female driv-er, saying “These are things that just happen along the way.”

Patrick, a former In-dyCar driver who first gained fame by nearly winning the Indianap-olis 500 in 2005, said, “The stat that I found more interesting is only 13 people, includ-ing me now, have led Indy and Daytona.”

Although this was Johnson’s second Day-tona 500 win, it was the first in person for his longtime crew chief, Chad Knaus.

When Johnson won the race in 2006, Knaus was at home serving a suspension after in-spectors found an il-legal modification to Johnson’s car during qualifying.

“I eat, sleep and breathe 48,” Knaus said. “Any time that I’m taken away from that race car, I’m pretty sad. To finally be able to come down here and win and be a part of this is definitely a huge dream come true.”

Sunday’s race also was the first test of NASCAR’s new car, dubbed the Gen 6. It was unclear if the pa-rade-style racing that abated only at the end resulted from the new car, or whether it re-flected the quirkiness of Daytona, where NASCAR restricts speeds and the cars al-ways travel in packs.
