Veterans...You Are Invited
Kansans Are Keeping
More Of Their Money
Kansas families and businesses continue to reap the benefits of pro-growth tax relief,
keeping $174.7 million more in
their pockets so far in fiscal
year 2014 compared to the first
four months of the last fiscal
year.
In October alone, Kansans
saved $39 million in individual
income taxes compared to
October 2012.
“Kansas families and businesses have been given real tax
relief for the first time in
decades,”
said
Revenue
Secretary Nick Jordan. “And
lower income tax rates are
allowing people across Kansas
to spend more of their hardearned dollars as they see fit in
the private sector rather than
sending them to Topeka.”
In other tax categories in
October, corporate income tax
revenues beat estimates by 41
percent, or $6.2 million. Sales
and use taxes also were higher
than anticipated, with use taxes
8.8 percent higher, even with
the sales tax rate cut that took
effect July 1.
More than $15 million in
refunds to small businesses
resulted in October revenue
receipts falling short of predictions as these businesses took
funds they previously would
have held for future estimated
tax payments.
“We believe this is money
that will be spent in the Kansas
economy through business and
personal purchases,” Jordan
said.
A significant portion of the
reduction in individual income
tax receipts in October is attributable to small businesses
receiving refunds for money
that typically would be kept in
escrow to cover future tax liabilities. Those funds are now
available for job growth and
capital reinvestment.

For The Love Of Baseball...
The King’s Singers, one of

American
Christmas tour in Marshall
County. Their two-week tour
will kick-off in the Black
Squirrel City with a special
Christmas concert.
The concert, “Joy to the
World,” will be Friday,
November 29, at 7:00 p.m. in
the Marysville High School
auditorium, 1111 Walnut. The
concert is sponsored by the
Marshall
County
Arts
Cooperative.
The King’s Singers are one
of the world’s most celebrated
vocal ensembles.
With a
discography of over 150
recordings, they earned a
Grammy for their album,
“Simple Gifts.” In June they
were inducted into the
Gramophone Hall of Fame.
The six singers are best
known for their spot-on vocal
intonation, impeccable vocal
blend, clear articulation, and
distinct timing.
“We’re elated that we’re able
to present this Christmas gift to
our community,” said Wayne
Kruse, the arts cooperative’s
executive director. “Last year
we brought in Turtle Island
Quartet and Dallas Brass to
help get people in the
Christmas spirit. Their concerts
wowed
audiences.
Believe me, people will not be
disappointed by The King’s
Singers. They’re phenomenal
musicians and fantastic entertainers. This is an event for the
whole family.”
Tickets are on sale at the
Chamber of Commerce office,
Marysville. Seating on the
orchestra level is reserved;
tickets are $10.00 for adults or

younger. General admission
seating is available in the balcony for $5.00.
“We are pleased with the
amount of tickets we’ve
already sold,” Kruse said.
“Once tickets went on sale, we
started getting phone calls from
people in Lincoln, Omaha,
Manhattan, and Kansas City.
We predict that this concert will
sell out so we’re encouraging
people to buy tickets early.”
The
arts
cooperative
received a grant from the
Marysville Convention and
Tourism committee to help promote the event. “We’re using
these funds to attract people
from outlying cities to come to
Marysville for the day to dine,
shop, and then enjoy a spectacular concert. Having a group of
this caliber come to Marysville
is good for many reasons
including our local economy.”
Tickets may be purchased at
the Chamber of Commerce
office, 101 North 10th Street,
or by calling 785-562-3101.

Dr. Donald Holst
Dr. Donald Holst, 83, died
Saturday, November 2, 2013 at

A Celebration of Life
Memorial Service will be 7
p.m., Monday, November 11,

Marysville, Kansas.
of the Chadron area’s most
colorful and talented individuals, Dr. Don Holst, died early
Saturday, Nov. 2 at his home
south of Chadron. He was 83.
While they were seniors at
Emporia State in 1953, Holst
married Beverly Markel, who
continues to live in Chadron.
They have been divorced for
40 years, but remained friends.
They had two children, Chris, a
teacher
at
Metropolitan
College in Omaha, and LeAnn
Robbins and her husband Ron
of Chadron. Other survivors
include four grandchildren,
Adrienne Lurvey of Lincoln,
Jim C. Manternach of Rapid
City, Joe Manternach and wife
Kathleen of Chadron and
Melissa
Manternach
of
Chadron, three great-grandchildren and a sister, Joan Berg, of
Rialto, Calif
Holst had many interests and
accomplishments. He had been
an athlete, a Marine officer, a
high school and college
teacher, a coach, an artist and
an author, among other things.
In November 2007 when
Holst was to speak at the
Graves Lecture Series at CSC,
the late Milton Wolf, director of
the Reta King Library, introduced him as a “a Renaissance
jock” and “an unusually gifted
person.” Several friends have
noted that Holst was definitely
“unique.” He was outgoing,
had definitive opinions and a
wide cross-section of friends.
Holst initially came to
Chadron State in the fall of
1965 as the head track and field
coach, assistant football coach
and to teach physical education. He remained at the college
through the 1972-73 school
year, completed work on his
doctorate in education at
Montana State University the
following year and served on
the faculty at McKendree
College at Lebanon, Ill., (near
St. Louis) from 1975 until he
retired in 1991.
In 1999, Holst returned to
the Chadron area and built a
cabin near the City Reservoirs.
“I came back to Chadron
because I didn’t like being
around the city. I loved this
area for its beauty and I’ve
always loved fishing,” Holst
told a member of The Eagle,
the Chadron State student
newspaper, which ran a fourpart series on his life in 2011.
Holst was born and raised in
Marysville, Kan., during an era

he described as “ornery times”
that included the Great
Depression and World War II.
He said at age 5 he began playing the drum in the city band
directed by his grandfather. He
was an outstanding high school
athlete, helping the Marysville
High School football team go
undefeated in 28 games from
1944 through 1948.
He also lettered all four years
in both football and track and
field at Emporia State
University, where he earned his
bachelor’s degree in 1953. He
was inducted into that school’s
Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010.
As he was graduating from
college, Holst enlisted in the
Marine Corps. After going
through officer’s training, he
was on active duty in Central
America for two years and then
remained in the reserves. He
was the commanding officer of
the
Third
Engineer
Maintenance Company based
in Lincoln and consisting of
about 135 members early in his
employment at Chadron State.
Holst earned a master’s degree
from the University of
Missouri in 1957 and taught
and coached at Northland
College in Wisconsin and
Midland Lutheran in Fremont
before coming to CSC. All of
the Eagles’ track and field
records had been set during his
eight years at the college when
he left in 1973.
He was known for some
unusual training methods.
Among them was pulling athletes while they held on to bicycle handlebars that were
attached by ropes to his pickup
as he drove it down the street.
“I was one of those he pulled
behind the pickup,” said Jack
Needham, an Imperial native
and now a minister in Arthur,
Neb. “He asked me how could
I expect to win a race if I had
never run fast enough to get
first. He was innovative and
had some unusual ways of
doing things. As far as I know
there weren’t any other coaches
like him. He made us work
hard and it made us better
men.”
Needham has a special memory of one of Holst’s actions. It
occurred at a meet in Rapid
City when Needham was a senior in 1968. “He went to the
pressbox and asked the public
address announcer to tell the
fans to focus on the long jump
because Jack Needham of
2A
Chadron State was going to
attempt a 24-foot long jump.
The announcement was made
and a few seconds later I
jumped exactly that far. He told
me afterwards he wished he’d
had the announcer say 25 feet.”
As it was, Needham’s jump
was a school record for 32
years and is just 2.5 inches shy
of the current CSC outdoor
record.

Choir Continues To Grow
More than fifty singers
showed up for the first singthrough rehearsal for George
Frideric Handel’s “Messiah,” a
collaboration between the
Marshall
County
Arts
Cooperative, the Marshall
County Community Choir, and
Kansas State University’s
Division of Choral Music.
The next rehearsal is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Sunday,
November
10,
at
the
Evangelical United Church of
Christ, Marysville.
According to Maybelle
Circle, the choir’s director,
there is still time to join the
choir. “Our first rehearsal was
very successful,” she said. “It
was great to see so many of our
veterans come back to sing, but
it was also rewarding to see so
many new faces. There is still
room for more. This is a major
work and we can always use
more voices.”
The choir will perform the
second and third parts from
Handel’s best-known work
which was written in 1741.
The second part concentrates
on the Passion and ends with
the “Hallelujah” chorus. Part
three focuses on Christ’s resurrection from the dead and his
glorification in Heaven.
Being part of The Messiah
Project, as it is referred to by
the three organizations sponsoring the concert, has different
rewards for each of the choir
members.
Deb Landoll, a choir veteran,
noted several benefits of being
involved. “I’m singing because
of the challenging material and
the opportunity to perform with
a live orchestra,” she said.
Ashley Kracht, a newcomer
to the group, agreed that the
challenging material drew her
to the choir. However, the
opportunity to collaborate with
K-State’s music department
was an added bonus. Kracht, a
K-State graduate, sang in the
K-State Singers with Dr. Julie
Yu. For the project Yu serves
as the performance conductor.
“I am excited to be a part of
this epic performance and to
work with Dr. Yu and the KState soloists and orchestra,”
she said. “Having the university’s support is sure to make the
project a success.”
For the performance the university is providing the orchestra as well as the four soloists
needed for the oratorio. The
choir is made up of singers
from Marshall County and surrounding communities. Having
the chance to meet new people
and share talents with others
from the area is another benefit
the choir offers.

Volunteers Work On Church Stand
Claims Rejected
4A
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A
Kansas legislative committee
has rejected most of a state senator's request for pay for a
meeting he nearly missed by
arriving late.
The Lawrence JournalWorld

City Democrat David Haley
appealed to the joint claims
committee after failing to
receive $291 for his salary,
expense allowance and mileage
for a December 2012 meeting
of another panel.
The claims committee said
Monday that Haley should
receive only $73 for mileage.

HOME NOTES...
Susan A. Latta - CEA
Marshall County
Extension Agent
With the initiation of the
MarketPlace many people are
wondering
about
Health
Insurance and what they should
be considering when they are
comparing plans. Many people
have health insurance or at
least will have health insurance
by January 1, 2014 and they
don’t really understand what it
is and how it works. This article will explain the terminology and things one should consider when evaluating health
insurance policies.
Health insurance is a contract between you and your
insurance company. You buy a
plan, and the company agrees
to pay part of your medical
costs when you get sick or hurt.
There are other important benefits of health insurance. Plans
available in the Marketplace
(and most other plans) provide
free preventive care, like vaccines, screenings, and checkups. They also cover some
costs for prescription drugs.
Health insurance protects
you from high, unexpected
costs. Did you know the aver-
age cost of a 3-day hospital stay
is $30,000? Or that fixing a
broken leg can cost up to
$7500? Having health coverage can help protect you from
high, unexpected costs like
these.
How health insurance coverage works.
When you have insurance,
you pay some costs and your
insurance plan pays some of
the cost:
Premium: A premium is a
fixed amount you pay to your
insurance plan, usually every
month. You pay this even if you
don’t use medical care that
month.
Deductible: If you need
medical care, a deductible is
the amount you pay for care
before the insurance company
starts to pay its share. Once you
meet your deductible, your
insurance company begins to
cover some costs of your care.
Some plans have lower
deductibles, like $250. Some
have higher deductibles, like
$2000. Many plans provide
preventive services at no additional cost to you, and sometimes other care, before you’ve
met your deductible.
Copayment: A copayment is
a fixed amount you’ll pay for a
medical service after you’ve
met your deductible. For example, after meeting your
deductible you may pay $25 for
a visit to the doctor’s office that
would cost $150 if you didn’t
have coverage. The health plan
pays the rest. This is where you
need to read the fine print.
Some companies will charge
just the copayment before you
reach your deductible and some
won’t. It is important to understand your health insurance
policy’s coverage. Sometimes
copayments will not count
toward your deductible.
Coinsurance: Coinsurance is
similar to copayment, except
it’s a percentage of costs you
pay. For instance, you may pay
20% of the cost of a $100 medical bill. So you would pay $20
and the health plan would pay
the rest.
How insurance protects you
Insurance coverage protects
you from high medical costs in
2 ways:
Out-of-pocket
maximum
“This is the total amount you’ll
have to pay if you get sick.”
For example, if your plan has a
$3000 out-of-pocket maximum, once you pay $3000 in
deductibles, coinsurance, and
copayments the plan will pay
for any covered care above that
amount for the rest of the year.
In my experience the copays
don’t count toward your
deductible and even though
you have met your out of pocket maximum you are still
required to make copays when
going to visit the doctor or the
emergency room. That is why
you need to take time to read
your policy and know how it
works.
No yearly or lifetime limits.
Health
plans
in
the
Marketplace can’t put dollar
limits on how much they will
spend each year or over your
lifetime to cover essential
health benefits. After you’ve
reached your out-of-pocket
maximum, your insurance
company must pay for all of
your covered medical care with
no limit.
People without health coverage are exposed to these costs.
This can sometimes lead people without coverage into deep
debt or even into bankruptcy.
This is what we have learned
about the MarketPlace so far.
It is essential that you have
an email address so they can
send you information about tax
credit and subsidizes.
There are two plans that
offer health insurance options
to the people of Marshall
County.
Blue Cross Blue
Shield of Kansas and Coventry
Healthcare are the only two
companies recognized to sell
plans on the Market Place in
Kansas. They are selling 36
different plans.
There are some people in
Marshall County that don’t
make enough to qualify for the
MarketPlace because they
don’t make enough money.
Those people will qualify for
Medicaid.
There are also people who
don’ qualify for health insurance because their spouse has
coverage through an employer
work group and the coverage in
considered affordable for the
individual. Unfortunately for
some the employer work group
plan is not affordable for the
family but because it is affordable for the employee they are
not eligible for the tax credit
and subsidizes.
Lots
of
Medicare
Beneficiaries are worried about
how the MarketPlace will
affect them. The MarketPlace
has no effect on them. The
Affordable Care Act does have
an affect on them in that it is
closing the doughnut hole
where beneficiaries have to pay
47% for brand name drugs and
receive a 21% discount on
generic drugs.
In 2020
Medicare Beneficiaries will
pay 25% for all drugs all year
long unless they reach the catastrophic stage and then they
will pay 5% and the plan will
pay 95%. The Affordable Care
Act will also provide additional

Chicken Cordon Bleu
Casserole Recipe
This casserole takes the ingredients of chicken cordon
bleu and layers them into a baking dish to create a delicious
meal for any night of the week. This casserole consists of
shredded chicken, black forest ham, Swiss cheese, a mustard flavored sauce and breadcrumbs. One of the ingredients in this recipe is the meat from a cooked rotisserie
chicken—using a rotisserie chicken helps to save time
because you do not need to cook the chicken yourself. The
most work involved in this recipe comes from making the
sauce. The sauce gets most of its flavor from the Dijon mustard and lemon juice and compliments the ham and chicken
nicely. This casserole is very rich and filling on its own, so
you may want to consider preparing a side-dish to go with
it—I personally prefer wild rice. Enjoy.
Ingredients:
1 large rotisserie chicken (meat removed, and shredded)
1/2lb deli-style black forest ham (chopped)
½lb sliced Swiss cheese
Sauce4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
3 cups milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Topping4 tablespoons melted butter
1 ½ cups seasoned breadcrumbs
¼ cup parmesan cheese
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Evenly spread the
shredded chicken into the bottom of the casserole dish. Top
evenly with the ham and then layer the Swiss cheese on top
of the ham.
Step 2:
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over
medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook while whisking
for 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk while whisking to keep
clumps from forming. Increase the heat to high and cook
while whisking constantly until the sauce thickens and
boils. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, smoked paprika,
and black pepper. Mix well
and pour over the top of the
cheese in the casserole dish.

Step 3:
In a small bowl mix
together the melted butter,
breadcrumbs and parmesan
cheese until the crumbs are
moist from the butter.
Sprinkle the mixture over
the top of the ingredients in
the baking dish. Place into
the oven and bake at 350
degrees for 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven and
allow the casserole to cool
for 10 minutes to allow the
sauce to thicken slightly.

It’s Time for Garden and Landscape Clean-up
MICHAEL VOGT
MARSHALL COUNTY
EXTENSION AGENT
A couple weeks ago we had a
free weekend. Which means I
wasn’t helping with harvest in
Missouri, so we decided we
had better get something
accomplished around the home
landscape before winter.
During the summer, our focus
is on our work, family activities, and our two gardens. So,
the home landscape gets a little
neglected. We decided to do
some pruning, clean out the
compost pile, and remove dead
growth from our vegetable and
flower gardens. All are good
things to do this time of year.
If you haven’t removed dead
plant material from your vegetable garden, you should go
ahead and do that to reduce the
incidence of insects and diseases for next year.
For perennial flower gardens, we normally recommend
clear-cutting dead stems to help
control insect and disease problems. With herbaceous perennials that have been pest free, you
might want to consider leaving
some to provide structure,
form, and color to the winter
garden. For example, ornamen-
tal grasses can be attractive
even during the winter months.
But those near structures
should be cut to the ground
because they can be a fire hazard. Perennials with evergreen
or semi-evergreen foliage can
provide color. Of course, some
perennials are naturally messy
after dormancy and should be
cut back in the fall.
Foliage can be left for other
reasons. For example, foliage
left on marginally hardy plants
such as tender ferns helps
ensure overwintering of plant
crowns. Also, seed heads on
some perennial plants can pro-
vide seed for birds.
We got a good work out with
all of the garden and landscape
clean-up. We did leave some
plants that have good winter
color or seeds for the birds
standing and when we were
through with clean-up we felt
the landscape looked much better and was in better condition
for winter.

Extension Office at (785) 5623531, or by e-mail at

4-H Club Kick-Off-Party...
The Wide Awake 4-H
Club had their hayrack
ride on Saturday,
October19, 2013. Club
leader, Angie Denton,
hosted the kick-off party
at her family’s farm. We
had several kids and
paents show up.
After playing soccer, we
then got ready to go on
the hayrack ride. During
the ride, club members
enjoyed watching the
cows run around and
hearing their names. We
saw many new calves run
and play in the pasture.
Some of them were only a
couple of days old.
Once back at the house,
we roasted hot-dogs and
marshmallows over a fire
and had some hot
choclate with it.
After the meal, we played
hide and go seek until it
was time to go home.

Kansas State Holds Iowa State In A 41-7 Victory
By ADAM SUDERMAN
Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) _
Iowa State viewed Saturday's
game against Kansas State as
the start of a new season.
The Cyclones entered the
game with just a single win
from their first seven games,
and they knew they needed to
win their final four just to
become bowl eligible.
The start of their ``new season'' looked a whole lot like the
rest of the season.
John Hubert ran for 105
yards and two touchdowns, and
Kansas State nearly pitched its
first Big 12 shutout in a decade
in a 41-7 rout on Saturday.
``It's certainly one of those
things I spoke to them about
after the game,'' Iowa State
coach Paul Rhoads said. ``I'm
anxious to get to tomorrow. I'm
anxious to teach.''
Four of the Cyclones' six
previous losses were by a combined 22 points, but they never
were in it against the Wildcats
(4-4, 2-3), who took a 17-0 lead
at halftime and never looked
back.
``We haven't gotten in a
groove in quite some time and
the same things every week _
mistakes, not completing balls
when they're in front of us,''
said Grant Rohach, who threw
for 88 yards in place of Sam
Richardson. ``We didn't convert third downs and that killed
the offense.''
Rhoads said the move to
Rohach was mainly because of
execution.
``Still too many missed decisions and too many plays left
out there,'' Rhoads said. ``Not
enough production and leadership of the offensive football
team to get us in the end zone.''
Iowa State (1-7, 0-5) didn't
score until the Wildcats' Robert
Rose coughed up the ball at his
own 10-yard line in the closing
minutes, and DeVondrick
Nealy took a toss-sweep for a
touchdown.
That was the only time the
Cyclones ran a play in the
Wildcats' red zone.
Nealy's TD run prevented the
Wildcats from finishing off
their first shutout since
September 2011, and their first
of a Big 12 foe since a 45-0 win
over the Cyclones on Nov. 3,
2003.
``Shutouts don't happen in
college football anymore, and
our youngsters played well
enough and coaches coached
well enough that they
deserved,'' Kansas State coach
Bill Snyder said. ``I'm probably
more disappointed than they
are which is fine.''
The quarterback combo of
Jake Waters and Daniel Sams
combined to throw for 221
yards and run for 89 yards as
the Wildcats beat the Cyclones
for the sixth straight time.
It didn't help the Cyclones'
chances that they were missing
several key players due to
injuries. Top running back
Aaron Wimberly, who has an
ailing hamstring, did not play.
After holding the Cyclones
on fourth down to start the
game, Waters led the Wildcats
on a 79-yard march. He hit
Tyler Lockett for a pair of completions, ran 23 yards for a first
down and then handed off to
Hubert, whose 10-yard touchdown run gave Kansas State a
7-0 lead.
``We just can't overcome
that,'' Rhoads said. ``With that
slow start, it puts us in a catch
up mode and we don't play very
well with that.''
Jack Cantele kicked a 44yard field goal a few minutes
later to extend the lead to 10-0.
Meanwhile, the Cyclones
couldn't get anything going on
offense. They punted on three
straight possessions, and then
Richardson tossed an interception on the next series.
``Mis-execution,'' Nealy said
of the Cyclones offensive
woes. ``We didn't do the things
we came in to do and we didn't
fulfill the game plan we had
from the get-go. All kinds of
things went bad for us tonight.
We kept turning the ball over.''
That's when Kansas State
also went to the quarterback
bullpen.
Sams came into the game
and ran 34 yards on six carries,
while also completing 2 of 3
passes for 22 yards _ one of
them a wobbler intended for
Lockett
that
Tramaine
Thompson actually caught.
Sams finished the drive with
a 1-yard run for a 17-0 lead just
before halftime.
Cantele added another field
goal early in the second half,
and Hubert finished off an 83yard drive with a 3-yard run
early in the fourth quarter to
extend the lead to 27-0.
The two biggest highlights
of the game came when it had
already been decided
After the Cyclones were
again held on fourth down,
Sams threw a 28-yard rainbow
that Thompson hauled in over a
defender _ despite pass interference _ while landing on his
back in the end zone.
Rohach was picked off by
the Wildcats' Dorrian Roberts
on the ensuing possession, and
Rose scampered nine yards into
the end zone for a touchdown
and a 41-0 lead.
The only drama left was
whether the Wildcats would
finish off the shutout. Rose's
fumble and Nealy's touchdown
run finally gave the Cyclones
something to feel good about.
``We're getting better at the
right things,'' Snyder said, ``and
those things tend to give you an
opportunity to play better. I
think we played better.''

2nd Pre-Season Win
Wildcats Win Exhibition
By: Tonya Ricklefs
Manhattan Free Press
Kansas State men’s basketball played their first exhibition
game November 1 as the second part of a basketball double
header.
They played the
Pittsburg State Gorillas. The
starting lineup for the Wildcats
was Marcus Foster, D.J.
Johnson, Nino Williams, Will
Spradling,
and
Omari
Lawrence.
The game started out quietly
with K-State only having 5
points six minutes into the
game and behind the Gorillas
who had 7 points.
Soon
Kansas State moved past the
Gorillas soon 9 to 7 went on a
17-2 run to keep the lead the
rest of the game. While KState started slowly, they soon
warmed up and got into a comfortable rhythm getting used to
each other. They struggled in
the first half shooting the three,
only making 20% of their 3point attempts; at halftime KState led the Gorillas 38 to 22.
Their shooting percentage was
36% from the field. Nino
Williams and Marcus Foster
both led the Cats scoring with 9
points each.
When Kansas State resumed
the second half, they continued
to stay in a double-digit lead for
the rest of the night. The Cats
dominated the game, but possibly the most significant statistic
is the number of fouls called.
K-State was called for 31 fouls,
Pittsburg State called for 30.
This is an amazing amount of
fouls that seemed to halt the
flow of the game each time it
would get going. K-State finished the game improving their
shooting percentage to 36.4%,
and their three point shooting
percentage to 25% . The scoring leader for the Cats was D.J.
Johnson with 15 points, and
even more exciting, he was 10
for 10 at the free throw line. If
the basketball season continues
with fouls being called as it was
the other night, successful free
throws will be even more
important for a win. Marcus
Foster was right behind
Johnson with 13 points, as well
as Nino Williams with 13
points, as well as a double-double with 13 rebounds. Overall,
the freshmen were very impressive to watch the other night.
They showed some exciting
potential if K-State can find a
leader to assume control of the
team when they are on the
floor. That leader did not show
himself the other night, but it
will be interesting to see if anyone assumes that role. The
final score was K-State 75,
Pittsburg State 54. K-State will
play Northern Colorado at
8:00pm November 8th as the
second part of a basketball double-header with the women.

KSU Women’s Basketball Struggles
By: Tonya Ricklefs
Manhattan Free Press
After a solid win against
Washburn University Monday
night, Kansas State Women’s
basketball faced the AlaskaAnchorage Seawolves Friday
night in a basketball double
header. Even though Deb
Patterson said her starting line
up was going to be flexible this
year, they used the same line up
as they used Monday. The
Wildcats started guards Leticia
Romero, Haley Texada, Bri
Craig and forwards, Katya
Leick and Breanna Lewis.
Alaska-Anchorage had a
good fan base that showed up
to support the team and the
Kansas City, Kansas native
Kylie Burns. Alaska’s fans
were energetic and that energy
seemed to pass onto the Alaska
team. They jumped out to a
quick lead. The Wildcats were
only able to hit 1 of 14 from the
field and that soon led to a 23 to
9 score with 9:43 left to play.
Kansas State was out rebounded and just plain out hustled to
start the game. With the height
that the women’s basketball
program has brought in this
year, being out rebounded by
smaller team. Throughout the
first half, the fire and energy
that existed during the
Washburn game was absent.
Leticia Romero, who was such
a leader in the first game, did
not get her first three-point basket until there was less than
five minutes left in the first
half. This closed the gap for
the Wildcats to being behind by
eight points. Besides struggling with shooting from the
field at only 29%, and only
15.4% for three-point shots, the
Wildcats made bad passing
choices. Kansas State did end
up finishing the half by not be
out rebounded by Alaska, but
Alaska’s shooting percentage
of 40% from the field for both
2 and 3 point shots kept K-State
behind at the half 37-33.
In the second half, Katya
Laiek quietly came out and
started to close the gap between
the Seawolves and the Cats
bringing the team within four
points with 16:58 left in the
game. Soon, Laiek made her
first three pointer of the game
and brought the Cats within 1
point, the closest they had been
the entire game. In less than a
minute, a Katya Leick layup
gave K-State the lead 45-44.
Soon, more of the team became
involved in scoring with
Breanna Lewis extending the
lead, when Alaska pulled in
close again, Haley Texada
drilled her first three pointer of
the game to keep the Wildcats
in the lead. When Alaska tied
the game again at 60 all
Chantay Caron took back the
lead 62 to 60. Alaska continued
to battle back and tie the game
and Leick and Romero quickly
responded with two layups tak-
ing the Cats to 66 points. Soon,
Bri Craig delivered her own 3point shot to make the score 71
to 62 and the Cats never looked
back. They were able to run the
last 19 seconds off the clock
and enjoy their second exhibition win 73 to 65. Kansas State
improved their shooting percentage in the second half to
43.6% and 28.6% for three
point shots. Katya Leick earned
a double-double of 24 points
and 12 rebounds. Leticia
Romero was the second leading
scorer with 15 points. This
means she has averaged 20
points and 10.5 rebounds in the
last two games. K-State will
face Tennessee State Friday,
November 8th at 5:45 as part of
another double-header basketball weekend.
