“Please do not touch” does not apply to the Allen County Historical Society’s quilt and army clothes exhibit. In fact, museum director Elyssa Jack-son is encouraging visitors to manhandle the quilts and old army clothes to get a better idea of how they were made.
Handmade quilts can rep-resent a community, Jackson said. The two large quilts on display were found by Donna Houser in the museum’s mez-zanine.
Who made the quilts is un-known and Jackson is hoping,

Candidate will stay on ballot

If Michael McKinnis is elected to represent the Third Ward on Iola’s city council April 2, his tenure would be the shortest ever.
He and wife Susie have made arrangements to buy Fred and Joyce Heismeyer’s home, at Kentucky and Or-egon Road, which will have them mov-ing from the Third Ward later this year. They live at 624 S. Buckeye St.
With bal-lots already decided by the filing deadline Jan. 22, Third Ward voters will choose two candidates from among McKinnis, Eugene Myrick and Don Becker, an incumbent. The second in-cumbent, Jim Kilby, did not seek re-election. The top vote-getter will serve four years, second place two years.

ObituariesJune Toland
June Elizabeth (Thompson) Toland, 98, died Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, at Iola.
S h e w a s born in Iola on June 19, 1914, the e l d e s t child of C l y d e E. and Lucy (Wilson) Thomp-son. She was the great-granddaughter of Allen County pioneers Samuel and Permelia Hubbard, who settled near Co-fachique in 1857. Mrs. Toland was educated in the Iola schools and grad-uated as valedictorian of her Iola High School class in 1931 and as vale-dictorian of her Iola Ju-nior College class in 1933.
At the University of Kansas she earned a bachelor of arts de-gree in political science in 1936. At KU she was elected secretary of her senior class, and was elected to Phi Beta Kap-pa, Mortar Board, and Pi Sigma Alpha honorary political science frater-nity, in addition to being a member of Gamma Phi Beta social sorority.
As a young woman she worked at Iola Abstract Company, where she learned the abstract busi-ness from her father, and received an award for her high score in the first ex-amination conducted by the Kansas Title Asso-ciation. She then served as a secretary to Kansas
Governor Payne Ratner in Topeka.
She married Iola at-torney and Kansas State Senator Stanley E. To-land on March 8, 1942, at Iola. They had 53 years together before his death on March 18, 1995. She also served as Stanley’s secretary in Topeka dur-ing his term as state sen-ator. The family law firm of Toland and Thompson was comprised of her husband, brother Frank Thompson, and sons John and Clyde.
Mrs. Toland was an 85-year member of the Iola Presbyterian Church, where she served as an el-der for nine years, teach-er, and Sunday school su-perintendent. She served as a commissioner to Presbytery and Synod, and served for five years on the Permanent Judi-cial Commission of the Synod of Mid-America. In 2001 the local church recognized her service with its “Gifts of Wom-en” award.
She was a charter member, and continued as a member until her death, of two organi-zations — Cofachique Chapter of the Daugh-ters of the American Revolution in 1949, and the Friends of the Iola Public Library in 1984.
She was an incorpora-tor of a third organiza-tion, the Allen County Centennial Commission, Inc. in 1954, which grand-ly celebrated in 1955 the centennial of the found-ing of Allen County. Af-ter the celebration con-
cluded, the title of the corporation was changed to Allen County Histori-cal Society, Inc., of which she was a life member. She served on its board of directors for over 25 years, serving most of that time also as secre-tary.
Mrs. Toland was a past president and mem-ber since 1933 of P.E.O. Chapter L, a record for Chapter L; in 2012 she had the fifth longest membership tenure of the approximately 250,000 living members of the international P.E.O. organization. She was a member of Unity Club since 1942 (she be-came an honorary mem-ber in 2005) and Iola Mu-sic Club from 1929 until its dissolution several years ago. She was an honorary member of the Iola Sesquicentennial Committee in 2009. She was also an honorary member of the Iola Ro-tary Club since 1995 and was a Paul Harris Fellow of Rotary International.
When her sons were young she served as pres-ident of Iola city P.T.A. and as a Cub Scout den mother. Mrs. Toland was a warm and gracious lady who liked people and who was devoted to her family and to her community.
Mrs. Toland is sur-vived by one son, Clyde Toland, and his wife, Nancy, Iola; a daughter-in-law, Karen Toland, Kerrville, Texas; one sis-ter, Lucy Lee (Mrs. G.W.) McDowell, Chanute; one
brother, Clyde E.

Richard MulsowRichard Charles Mul-
sow passed away peace-fully at Deseret Health and Rehabilitation Cen-ter in Yates Center on Feb. 27, 2013. He was 91 years old.
Richard was born Feb. 8, 1922, the son of Charles Richard Mulsow and Amanda (Weide). He was born and raised on his parent’s farm in rural Woodson County. Richard attended Wood-son County schools all his life. He graduated from Yates Center High School and was valedic-torian of the class of 1940. During his school days he was known for his speed and was tal-ented at track and field. Richard enlisted in the U.S. Army six years after graduation and served from 1946 to 1948, includ-ing a tour in Panama.
After Richard’s time in the service he re-turned home and he and Ruth (Trost) were united
in marriage on May 18, 1952, at Hurscher Unit-ed Methodist Church, east of Concordia. The couple was blessed with four children: Rich-ard “Dick,” Dan, Dana, and Duane. The couple raised their children on the farm where Richard was a farmer and stock-man until his death.
Richard had many passions, among them were his family, singing, poetry, woodworking, fishing and gardening. He had many favorite songs and poems; and would recite quite a few for his family and loved ones. Richard often sang at Turkey Creek Meth-odist Church, where he held his lifetime mem-bership, as well as other events that occurred in town.
Richard was preced-ed in death by his par-ents, one brother, Loyd, three sisters, Kathryn Boyd, Evelyn Steiner, and Neva Mulsow and
his beloved sons Dick in 2009 and Duane in 1982; also great-granddaugh-ter Alexis VanDyke in 2002. He is survived by his wife Ruth of Deseret Health and Rehabilita-tion Center, Yates Cen-ter; a son Dan, Yates Center; daughter Dana Keling, Topeka; and daughter-in-law Susan Mulsow of Iola.
Richard also shared the love of eight grand-children, Garrett, Em-ily and Carly Mulsow, Amanda, Melissa, and Kyle Mulsow, Amber Keling-Chadbourne and Rachel Keling; great-grandchildren, Tianna and Addison Mulsow; and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and many other relatives and friends.
Services for Richard were at 1:30 p.m. today at Turkey Creek United Methodist Church, Yates Center. Burial followed in Askren Cemetery, Yates Center.
In lieu of flowers, me-morials are suggested to Turkey Creek United Methodist Church or “Friends For Life” and may be sent in care of Campbell Funeral Home, P.O. Box 188, Yates Cen-ter, KS 66783. Additional information also may be found at jonescampbell-funeralhome.com

~ Journalism that makes a difference
Expanding Medicaid to include more Kansans would save the state money.
The math is pretty sim-ple. The more people on the health insurance, the fewer medical emergencies will be incurred. Good health practices, such as regular checkups, prevent costly procedures when emergen-cies happen — and they will happen. Preventive care makes for a healthier work force, meaning fewer missed workdays.
Hospitals, too, view Medicaid as their safety net when treating the un-insured because they typi-cally skip paying their bills.
Kansas legislators are currently debating the merits of accepting federal funds to broaden the state’s Medicaid safety net. It would mean an additional 160,000 residents would re-ceive health benefits. Today about one in 10 Kansas resi-dents, or 300,000, are on the Medicaid rolls.
Under the expansion, the federal government would pay 100 percent of the first three years, beginning in 2014, followed by 90 percent funding from then on.
KANSAS is fairly stingy with its Medicaid benefits. Today, a household with one child between the ages of 6 and 18 cannot bring home more than $903 a month. If the child is younger than 6, the monthly income limit raises to $1,201. If a woman is pregnant or has an in-fant under 1, the maximum monthly income is $1,354.
If the household makes a dollar more, the benefits are withdrawn.
This is another example of “doughnut-hole” eco-nomics. The very poor are covered, but those with low-income jobs are left to fall through the cracks. To date, the cost of health in-surance is out of reach of the working poor and not
so poor. And of course it’s not
only the poor who receive Medicaid, but also the dis-abled and elderly.
The expanded model of Medicaid would extend benefits to adults who make 138 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, about $15,420 a year.
MEDICAID is the biggest safety net for our state’s children. Nationwide, more than 30 percent of U.S. chil-dren depend on Medicaid to help pay for doctor’s visits, immunizations and neces-sary procedures.
While children comprise more than 50 percent of Medicaid cases, their care consumes less than a quar-ter of Medicaid expenses.
That’s because the num-ber of elderly poor in the United States is growing and their long-term care expenses are putting signif-icant strains on state and federal budgets.
For those in nursing homes, Medicaid is the main coverage option for long-term care services. Medicare does not cover stays in nursing homes and private coverage usually doesn’t, either.
Currently, Medicaid ex-penses in Kansas are about $2 billion a year, with the federal government pick-ing up two-thirds of the tab. The Medicaid expansion would mean an additional $800 million over the three years.
IN RECENT weeks the governors of Florida, Arizona and New Jersey, stalwart opponents of the Affordable Care Act, have reversed their opposition to Medicaid expansion. De-spite their aversion to the federal plan, they know the math weighs in their favor.
So, too, should Kansas. — Susan Lynn
Kansas should expand itsMedicaid rolls
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Supreme Court in-spired optimistic talk about an early end to an education funding lawsuit against the state when the justices or-dered mediation in the case, but any discussions will be shadowed by the Legislature’s ongoing debate over phasing out the state’s personal in-come taxes.
The high court last week put on hold a lower-court order di-recting lawmakers to increase the state’s annual spending on public schools by at least $440 million. The Supreme Court also said that if the parties in the lawsuit couldn’t agree on a mediator by Friday, the justices would appoint one to oversee talks.
Gov. Sam Brownback, Attor-ney General Derek Schmidt and some fellow Republicans in the Legislature reacted pos-itively, seeing hope for a dis-cussion about school funding issues and the state’s larger budget picture.
“I’m an optimistic guy,” said John Robb, a Newton at-torney representing students, parents and school districts suing the state.
But the Supreme Court’s or-der for mediation doesn’t alter the political context in which talks would occur. Kansas en-acted massive income tax cuts last year. Brownback and the Republican-dominated Leg-islature aren’t backing away from those reductions, and they’re considering a mix of policies this year designed to keep Kansas on what the gov-ernor calls “a glide path to zero” individual income taxes.
The lawsuit is aimed at forc-ing a big boost in spending on public schools to fulfill past promises made by the state and to commit Kansas to fu-ture increases. Those goals clash over the next few years — and possibly much lon-ger — with moves to eventu-ally eliminate income taxes. Many lawmakers, particular-ly conservative Republicans,
contend the state’s found-ers meant for them, not the courts, to have the last word.
“I know it’s black and white,” said House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, a conser-vative Louisburg Republican. “We’re given the responsibil-ity to discern our budget and balance all the responsibili-ties that we have.”
The Kansas Constitution requires the Legislature to “make suitable provision” for financing the state’s “educa-tional interests” and the Su-preme Court has said it means lawmakers must finance a suitable education for every child.
Base state aid for public schools peaked at $4,492 in 2008, just before the Great Re-cession. It’s now $3,838, which is $654 less per student, almost 15 percent lower. The decline sparked the latest lawsuit, and in January, a three-judge pan-el in Shawnee County District Court ordered legislators to hit the $4,492 mark.
“If people want to serious-ly resolve this lawsuit, there may be creative ways to do that,” Robb said of mediation. “I’m not going to write it off.”
Robb also sounded a concil-iatory note by saying he wants legislators to participate in mediation, because they’d ul-timately have to approve bud-gets and school finance legisla-tion reflecting any agreement.
But if GOP leaders are in-volved in the talks, they’ll come with a broader agenda. Some want the Supreme Court to consider that legislators have numerous pressing is-sues outside of funding pub-lic schools — and a big one is ensuring the state’s long-term economic vitality.
“I’d like them to see how dif-ficult our job is,” said Senate President Susan Wagle, a con-servative Wichita Republican.
The district court panel ir-ritated some GOP conserva-tives by chiding legislators for claiming to do what they could for schools while approving big tax cuts last year. The
January ruling helped fuel a renewed push for measures to revise the state constitution’s education article and change how appellate court judges are selected.
Senate Judiciary Commit-tee Chairman Jeff King, a conservative Independence Republican who is a leading advocate of both measures, called parts of the lower-court ruling “problematic” because they read as if they’re de-signed to prompt a reversal of the tax cuts.
Schmidt decried “ample posturing” in the case.
“This really more closely resembles a political dispute than a legal one,” the attorney general said.
Last year’s tax cuts are worth almost $850 million during the fiscal year begin-ning in July. If the Legisla-ture reversed them, there pre-sumably would be more than enough money to comply with the district court panel’s rul-ing.
Brownback and lawmakers are considering proposals this year to stabilize the budget, such as eliminating two popu-lar income tax deductions for homeowners and canceling a decrease in the sales tax scheduled for July. But the goal is to enable future cuts in income tax rates — and some conservatives would prefer to cut spending anyway.
Simply put, the Republican governor and GOP-controlled Legislature aren’t reversing course on trying to phase out personal income taxes. Wagle called the idea “a travesty,” ar-guing that Kansas is trying to combat economic uncertainty with pro-growth policies.
“You just can’t pay the bills if you’re not in a growing economy,” Vickrey said.
Meanwhile, many educa-tors and lawyers suing the state argue the Kansas Consti-tution gives public education a special, priority status. The conflict in underlying philoso-phies is likely to hinder any attempt to settle the lawsuit.

Five people sought four slots on the general election ballot for two Moran City Council positions in yesterday’s pri-mary election. Greg Jackman and Darin Norman tied for fourth and the winner may be
determined by a flip of a coin. Nelda Cuppy, Paul Boyd, and Loretta Zornes secured places on the general election ballot for Moran council positions. In Humboldt Larry Manion re-ceived 72 percent of the votes cast in the mayoral race. He
will face Laura Onnen in the general election. In LaHarpe six candidates advanced to the general election: Ronald Knavel, Roger Culler, Geor-jean Friend, Kenneth Karr, Raymond Maloney and John Heard.
Quote of the day“The path to that future has clearly been difficult and much work
remains.”— John Kerry, U.S. secretary of state, in a statement after wrapping up
two days of meetings in Egypt, a deeply divided country in the wake of the revolution that ousted longtime President Hosni Mubarak.

I don’t have kids yet, unless you consider my dog, but I know how sentimental I will be when I do. I thought this was a cute way to record your children’s years when they are growing the fast-est. Go to a local hobby shop and buy a can-vas then paint it a solid color. Take your kiddo’s feet and paint them a color that will stand out then get them to stand on the canvas. You can choose any age but something that will show a big difference. Four, eight and 12 months seems to be a good idea. This unique and sentimental piece of art can hang anywhere in the house.

the filing deadline.“I profusely apologize
for any chaos I’ve cre-ated” by filing and then deciding to move across town, McKinnis said.
He also encouraged voters to focus on the other two candidates. Advance voting starts March 13.
“If I were elected, I’d resign immediately,” McKinnis said.
Even with the move not likely for two or three months, he doesn’t think it would be fair or appro-priate that he serve so short a time on the coun-cil.
The house purchase came as “the proverbial offer we couldn’t refuse,” McKinnis told the Regis-ter.
“We looked at the house a year ago and liked it,” he said, but couldn’t afford the ask-ing price.
A year later, and still for sale, the Heismeyers called the McKinnises
with an offer that was to their liking.
Although they haven’t closed on the purchase, McKinnis said he didn’t “foresee any impedi-ments to completing the purchase.”
“We’re eager for the move,” he continued. “Susan has lived in this little house for 16 years and we’ve been married and living here the past 12. We outgrew its 1,100 square feet a long time ago.”
Susan McKinnis has taught English at Al-len Community College since she arrived in Iola. He taught economics here until five years ago
when he began commut-ing to Pittsburg State University to teach.
“I was flattered when (Mayor) Bill Shirley and several other people I respect encouraged me to run for the council,” McKinnis said. “I’m both happy and sad about our (pending) move,” because of the decision voters will have to make with his candidacy de-railed and the decision council members will have to make if he is one of the winners. His resig-nation would lead to the council appointing a re-placement.
WITH the Third Ward
race a bit of a muddle, voters will have deci-sions to make in the oth-er three.
The First Ward — in-cumbents Nancy Ford and Scott Stewart — and Second Ward — incum-bent Beverly Franklin and Bob Shaughnessy — have two candidates each. Voters in the Fourth Ward will pick two win-ners from among incum-bent Steven French and Jerrod Kelly and Sandy Zornes.
Joel Wicoff, who served a two-year council term in Second Ward, is the lone mayoral candi-date.
Iola switched two years ago from decades of hav-ing a three-member com-mission to an eight-mem-ber council and mayor at behest of petition drives. Initially all eight council members were elected to two-year terms, with the two- and four-year splits coming from a charter ordinance last year. The mayor’s term remains two years.

Jackson took the quilt idea and formed a veteran’s paper quilt which hangs between the two fabric quilts.
“The veteran’s tree was so popular we de-cided to make a paper quilt,” Jackson said.
At the front of the museum visitors, like the 60 fourth-graders that visited Friday, can

AP Medical WriterWASHINGTON (AP)
— A baby born with the virus that causes AIDS appears to have been cured, scientists announced Sunday, de-scribing the case of a child from Mississippi who’s now 2? and has been off medication for about a year with no signs of infection.
There’s no guarantee the child will remain healthy, although so-phisticated testing un-covered just traces of the virus’ genetic mate-rial still lingering. If so, it would mark only the world’s second reported cure.
Specialists say Sun-day’s announcement, at a major AIDS meeting in Atlanta, offers prom-ising clues for efforts to eliminate HIV infection in children, especially in AIDS-plagued Afri-can countries where too many babies are born with the virus.
“You could call this about as close to a cure, if not a cure, that we’ve seen,” Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, who is famil-iar with the findings, told The Associated Press.
A doctor gave this baby faster and stronger treatment than is usual, starting a three-drug in-fusion within 30 hours of birth. That was before tests confirmed the in-fant was infected and not just at risk from a moth-er whose HIV wasn’t di-agnosed until she was in labor.
“I just felt like this baby was at higher-than-normal risk, and de-served our best shot,” Dr. Hannah Gay, a pediatric HIV specialist at the Uni-versity of Mississippi, said in an interview.
That fast action appar-ently knocked out HIV in the baby’s blood before it could form hideouts in the body. Those so-called reservoirs of dormant cells usually rapidly re-infect anyone who stops medication, said Dr. Deb-orah Persaud of Johns Hopkins Children’s
Center. She led the in-vestigation that deemed the child “functionally cured,” meaning in long-term remission even if all traces of the virus haven’t been completely eradicated.
Next, Persaud’s team is planning a study to try to prove that, with more aggressive treatment of other high-risk babies. “Maybe we’ll be able to block this reservoir seeding,” Persaud said.
No one should stop anti-AIDS drugs as a re-sult of this case, Fauci cautioned.
But “it opens up a lot of doors” to research if other children can be helped, he said. “It
makes perfect sense what happened.”
Better than treatment is to prevent babies from being born with HIV in the first place.
About 300,000 children were born with HIV in 2011, mostly in poor countries where only about 60 percent of in-fected pregnant women get treatment that can keep them from passing the virus to their babies. In the U.S., such births are very rare because HIV testing and treat-ment long have been
part of prenatal care.“We can’t promise to
cure babies who are in-fected. We can promise to prevent the vast ma-jority of transmissions if the moms are tested during every pregnan-cy,” Gay stressed.
The only other person considered cured of the AIDS virus underwent a very different and risky kind of treatment — a bone marrow transplant from a special donor, one of the rare people who is naturally resistant to HIV. Timothy Ray Brown of San Francisco has not needed HIV medications in the five years since that transplant.
The Mississippi case
shows “there may be dif-ferent cures for differ-ent populations of HIV-infected people,” said Dr. Rowena Johnston of amFAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research. That group funded Persaud’s team to explore possible cases of pediatric cures.
It also suggests that scientists should look back at other children who’ve been treated since shortly after birth, including some reports of possible cures in the late 1990s that were dis-missed at the time, said Dr. Steven Deeks of the University of California, San Francisco, who also has seen the findings.
“This will likely in-spire the field, make peo-ple more optimistic that this is possible,” he said.
In the Mississippi case, the mother had had no prenatal care when she came to a ru-ral emergency room in advanced labor. A rapid test detected HIV. In such cases, doctors typi-cally give the newborn low-dose medication in hopes of preventing HIV from taking root. But the small hospital didn’t have the proper liquid kind, and sent the infant to Gay’s medical center. She gave the baby higher treatment-level doses.
The child responded well through age 18 months, when the family temporarily quit return-ing and stopped treat-ment, researchers said. When they returned several months later, remarkably, Gay’s stan-dard tests detected no vi-rus in the child’s blood.
Scientist say baby born with HIV cured
We can’t promise to cure babies who are infected. We can promise to pre-vent the vast majority of transmissions if the moms are tested during every pregnancy.

‘Cardiac’ Cubs earn state berth
By RICHARD [email protected]
HUMBOLDT — It can’t be scientifically proven, but that gust of wind you felt Saturday evening may have come from a joyous sigh of relief emit-ted from fans packed into the Humboldt Community Field-house.
Humboldt High’s Cubs con-tinued their exhilarating ride to a possible state champion-ship Saturday, in nearly the same manner as they did one night before — by the skin of their teeth.
One night after winning in double overtime against Burl-ington, Humboldt again went down to the wire, and beyond, against Eureka, in the Class 3A substate championship.
Humboldt’s 59-58 overtime win wasn’t secure until Eu-reka guard Colton Pitko, so dazzling and fearless up to that point, put up a baseline jumper as the clock neared :00.
“We knew he was going to take the shot,” said Cub senior Tanner McNutt, who was as-signed to cover the diminutive Tornado sophomore on Eure-ka’s final possession. “He did a juke move and got past me. Luckily, Trey Johnson was there to cover.”
Johnson, whose driving layup with 20 seconds left in overtime gave Humboldt a 59-58 lead, raced along Pitko, leaping as the shot was re-leased.
“I just tried to do what I could to keep him from scor-ing,” Johnson said.
The ball bounced off the rim and into the arms of Mc-Nutt as the buzzer sounded, and a contingent of euphoric Cub fans stormed the court.
That Johnson was there on
defense was perhaps fitting. He scored all five of Hum-boldt’s overtime points, each time giving the Cubs a one-point lead.
“I just take what comes to me,” Johnson said. “We do what we need to for the team.”
Humboldt takes its 23-0
record to Hutchinson as the top seed in state tournament, which opens Thursday. The Cubs will take on eighth-seed-ed Salina-Sacred Heart at 6:30 p.m. in the Hutchinson Sports Arena.
AS IT HAS all season, Hum-
boldt relied on its dynamic group of seniors to lead the way. Noah Thornbrugh was the catalyst in Humboldt’s third-quarter charge, scoring 11 as Humboldt overcame a nine-point deficit. His basket with 1:46 left in the third gave the Cubs their first lead, 39-38. His jumper from just inside the 3-point line with 1:05 left in the period put Humboldt up 41-38, its largest lead of the night.
Conversely, Eureka re-sponded exclusively with un-derclassmen. The Tornadoes scored eight straight to re-take a five-point lead. Pitko’s 3-point play tied the score at 41-41 before Braden Larcom connected from beyond the arc to put the Tornadoes up 44-41. The lead inexplicably grew to six after Humboldt lost posses-sion just before time expired on the period. Blake Craw-ford was called for a foul as Larcom launched a shot from three-quarters court as the buzzer sounded, giving him three free throws. He hit two, putting Eureka on top 46-41.
The fun was just getting started.

By STEVEN [email protected] time began to wind
down in the fourth quarter, the Chetopa High players began to look worried; what was once a commanding lead for the Hornets, was now a fourth-quarter deficit to the Crest High Lancers.
The Lancers won the Class 1A, Divison II substate title Saturday evening, in a heated 43-34 victory over Chetopa. If you had asked any Crest fan in the bleachers, the game was stressful to say the least.
The Lancers earned a 28-24 lead going into the fourth quarter. That lead had not come easily.
The Hornets came out hot. Derrick Cassell and Austen Sanders immediately hit 3-pointers to start the game. Brock Ellis hit a foul shot for Crest, but the Hornets were not done yet. Ellis’ foul shot was followed by two more threes from Breylan Berrios and Sherrick Rogers.
Head coach Travis Herm-reck called a timeout with just over two minutes left in the quarter, in an effort to halt the momentum.
“All I thought was, holy crap, I hope they miss a shot tonight,” he said.
Kyle Hammond hit a layup with two seconds in the quar-ter, to cut the deficit to 12-3.
The Lancers were not ready to roll over and die.
Hammond started the sec-ond quarter with a floater on a drive, followed by another 2-pointer from Ellis. Aus-tin Green blocked a Hornet shot on the opposite end of the court, stole the ball and made a pass to Ellis — he capitalized on a jumper from outside. Sanders hit an out-side shot for the Hornets, fol-lowed by another 2-pointer from Hammond. Crest had
cut Chetopa’s lead to 16-13 go-ing into the half.
“We could see them tight-ening up, they were starting to get nervous,” Hermreck said.
Berrios opened the half for the Hornets with a 3-pointer, but Hammond responded immediately with a jumper from inside. Ellis hit two foul shots, followed by back-to-back field goals from Jesse Boone to tie the game 21-21
with three minutes remain-ing in the quarter.
The Crest bleachers began to buzz with excitement.
Austin Green hit a long 2-pointer to give the Lanc-ers the lead, and put what seemed to be the majority of Colony on their feet. The Hornets took a timeout with 2:23 remaining in the third — all of the momentum was

The Lady Titans had their eye on the prize from the beginning Saturday night against Elk Valley High, and never let up.
The Southern Coffey Coun-ty High girls took the Class 1A, Division II substate cham-pionship with a commanding 44-27 win over the Lions. The win sends them to the state tournament in Hays, which starts Wednesday afternoon.
Titan Chenae Newkirk jumpstarted a 15-0 run to start the game. Breanna Isch, Mar-
tyna Hegwald and Sarah Webb contributed to the powerful beginning. A 3-pointer from Myranda Hegwald with just over three minutes in the first quarter prompted the Lions to take a time-out. Savannah Cannon hit a foul shot quickly after the break to end the run.
“The first quarter, shooting the ball as well as we did set the tone for the game,” SCC coach Jeff True said.
The Lady Titans led 17-3 go-ing into the second quarter.

Missed opportunities down the stretch proved costly for the Allen Com-munity College women Saturday, and in so do-ing ended the Red Dev-ils’ season.
The Red Devils scored only two points over the last 10 minutes of their Region VI playoff game against Seward County.
And while Allen’s frenetic defense kept Seward off balance throughout much of the contest, holding the Lady Saints scoreless the last 4:12 of regula-tion, the Red Devils ran out of steam in overtime.
Seward outscored Al-len 15-2 in the extra ses-sion to secure a 73-60 win in the opening round of the Region VI playoffs. Seward advances to take on Hutchinson Tues-day in the quarterfinal round. Allen ended its season at 14-17.
“We’re disappointed,” Allen head coach Mark James said. “We felt like we let one get away from us.”
Ebonie Jones’ 3-point-er with 5:06 left in regu-lation put Allen on top 58-56, before Seward’s Madison McLain re-sponded with a basket less than a minute later to tie the score.
That’s where the score remained as both teams missed multiple oppor-tunities to score down the stretch. Miracle Davis and DaNara Day each missed the front end of 1-and-1 free throw opportunities — Davis twice, including a miss with 2 seconds left in regulation.
That changed in over-time.
Seward’s Ricquia Jones raced in for a basket less than 10 sec-onds into the overtime to give the Lady Saints the lead for good. The Lady Saints scored the first nine points before Leslie Ware drove for Al-len’s final basket of the game. The bucket ended an 8½-minute drought.
“Once we fell behind, we had to start gambling and couldn’t stick with our solid, fundamental defense,” James said. “They were able to capi-talize.”
The second half was a far cry from the first. The Red Devils were 8 of 17 from beyond the arc before intermission, opening a 39-33 lead in the process.
Those treys stopped falling after the break. Allen hit only 3 of 18

from beyond the arc in the second half and overtime.
Still, James said his squad had reason to be proud.
“Seward’s a tough team, one of the bet-ter teams in the state,” he said. “We had some spurts of really great de-fense today. These sopho-mores came in not know-ing what to expect, and they gave us something to build on.”
James noted Satur-day’s playoff game was the first at home for the Red Devil women in near-ly a decade, even though Allen dropped five of six coming into the playoffs.
“We didn’t enter the playoffs like we wanted to, getting a home game because other teams lost,
but we’re never going to apologize for that.”
Day led Allen with 22 points, while Ware had 12 points and seven rebounds. Davis added seven rebounds and five assists. Jones also had four assists.
McLain scored 20 points with 11 rebounds to lead Seward. Shanise Brooks added 18 points and Jones had 13.

slowed, due to a heavy amount of fouls made by Elk Valley — SCC was in the double bonus just one minute into the quarter. Webb and Mi-randa Alumbaugh each capitalized on the op-portunity with two free throws apiece. Kalyn Deal hit two field goals to seal the first half at 26-8 SCC.
Alumbaugh hit a long jumper to start the sec-ond half action. She fol-lowed the shot with two free throws on a foul.
Dakota Corle and Can-non each had field goals for Elk Valley midway through the quarter, their only field goals un-til the fourth. SCC had a 36-13 advantage going into the finale.
The scoring deficit was buffered by the Li-ons with a 14-point per-formance in the quarter. Madison Ashenfelter hit a 2-pointer, followed by foul shots from Faith Ferguson and Corle. The
Titans responded with inside shots from Isch and Alumbaugh.
Coach True brought in the substitute play-ers with one minute re-maining in the contest. Amber Emmons drove to the basket and hit a layup with eight seconds remaining. The crowd was on its feet, cheering the victory as regulation expired.
“I think we played with more intensity and focus than our game the other night against Crest,” True said. “But the important thing is that our shots went in.”
Webb led the Lady Titans with 10 points, followed by Martyna Hegwald with eight and Alumbaugh with seven.
He said his guards did a good job of moving the ball around the court and finding opportuni-ties for their teammates to gets open shots. The Lady Titans will need that focus again this week in the state tourna-
ment. “We are going to play
as hard as we can and have fun,” he said.
Most importantly, the coach said he wants his girls to enjoy and appre-ciate the rare opportu-nity.
“I want them to enjoy the opportunity and the atmosphere in Hays,” he said. “Any time you can go to state it’s cool, I’m happy for the girls.”
SCC will play the top-seed, undefeated Ingalls High School at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Gross Me-morial Coliseum on the campus of Fort Hays State University.

Cassell hit early for the Hornets, followed by two more field goals from Hammond. Green hit a layup on an im-pressive pass from Ellis to give the Lancers a 34-28 lead — their biggest of the night.
With three minutes remaining, the Hor-nets were facing a 37-30 deficit. Sanders hit two foul shots for Chetopa, on a controversial call that had the Crest fans on their feet in protest. They edged the deficit to 37-34 with 1:30 re-maining.
The Lancers were
quick, however, and kept the ball out of the Hornets’ grasp until they were forced to start fouling. Hammond hit four foul shots in a row to end the game, the last swishing through the hoop with :00.2 seconds remaining in the game — the Crest bleachers were on their feet.
“I’m as proud as I’ve ever been of a win,” Hermreck said after the victory.
He said his team has worked hard to this point, and deserves a chance in the state tournament.
Hammond led the team in scoring with a strong, but average for him, 23-point perfor-mance. Ellis had seven points, and Boone had
six. “When it came down
to it, I knew Kyle would be the guy who stepped up,” Hermreck said. “Kyle and Jordan both proved their mettle as leaders tonight.”
The Lancers face off against the fourth seed in the state tourna-ment, Wallace County High. The action begins at 4:45 p.m. on Thurs-day, Crest is ranked number five.

comb closed the gap to 46-44 with a layup and free throw to start the fourth quarter. Thorn-brugh’s jumper tied the score at 46-all before Wes Moots scored on a putback to give the Tornadoes the edge, 48-46. McNutt’s 3-pointer at the 3:33 mark gave Humboldt a 49-48 lead. Pitko responded with a trey of his own to put Eureka back on top, 51-49. Thornbrugh scored again with 2 minutes left to tie the score at 51-51.
Larcom and McNutt exchanged 3-pointers on
the teams’ next posses-sions, leaving the score deadlocked at 54-54.
The Cubs’ Hunter Murrow rebounded a Logan Hayes miss with 53 seconds left. Likewise, Whitcomb’s fadeaway at-tempt missed as time ex-pired, forcing overtime.
Johnson’s free throw gave Humboldt a 55-54 lead, but Pitko scored his 18th and 19th points on free throws to put Eu-reka back in front, 56-55.
Each team came up empty on its next posses-sion before Johnson’s lay up with 1:43 left on the clock pushed Humboldt
up 57-56. Moots scored to put Eureka back up 58-57 with 40 seconds left. Johnson got free inside for a score with 20 sec-onds left, setting up Eu-reka’s final possession.
“We wanted to keep Pitko away from the ball, but they ran him off a series of screens and he was able to get it,” Whit-comb said. “We were for-tunate.”
“I guess you can sum up this team in two words: Cardiac Kids,” Humboldt coach David Taylor said. “They just keep finding ways to get things done.”
“Coach said some-thing like it being 365 days of preparation to be here, but it’s been three years,” said Whit-comb, who transferred to Humboldt as a sopho-more. “We’ve worked so hard to get to this point.”
Winning Saturday’s tilt involved more than physical skill, Whitcomb and McNutt agreed.
“We can handle games like this because we’re mentally tough,” Whit-comb said. “That’s what Coach preaches: mental toughness.”
THE MENTAL tough-ness was a necessity after Eureka started the night like gang-busters, zipping out to a 12-4 lead. Moots scored eight points and Pitko seven. The Tornadoes led 21-12 at
the 6-minute mark of the second period.
McNutt’s layup trig-gered Humboldt’s first sustained volley. Thorn-brugh sandwiched bas-kets around a Johnson 3-pointer as part of an 11-4 run to pull the Cubs to within 25-23 late in the half. Eureka’s Dalton Lyon drained a 3-pointer to give the Tornadoes a 28-23 halftime advan-tage.
Pitko’s steal and layup early in the third quar-ter put Eureka up 34-25, matching its largest lead of the game.
Thornbrugh, whose 23 points on 11-of-16 shoot-ing were a game high. He also led Humboldt with 10 rebounds, four assists and three blocks. McNutt added 14 points and three assists, while Johnson scored 10 for
the Cubs. Whitcomb scored nine. McNutt and Whitcomb each had three assists.
“We had different guys step up, which is how it’s supposed to work,” Thornbrugh said. “This has been our dream, to go to state. Now our goal is to win a state cham-pionship. It’s up to us to keep meeting our goals.”
Pitko’s 19 led Eureka. Moots added 14 and Lar-com 10.
