Due to scheduling difficulties the date for the next American Red Cross Blood drive to
be located in the Moline area
has been changed. It will now
be held on Monday, Feb. 29,
from 2-6 p.m.at the Catholic
Hall in Moline.
There is a critical shortage
of blood at the present time.
Many area of the country have
been hit with blizzards, icy
roads, etc…, and many blood
drives have been canceled or
if they were held, donors could
not get there to donate. It is
important that we do our part
in helping to fill the shortage.
Remember, the next blood
drive will be Feb. 29 from 2-6
p.m. at the Catholic Hall in Moline.

SCBL Tournament Champs - Sedan Lady Blue Devils
By BRIAN THOMAS
[email protected]
ARKANSAS CITY — For
the second time in three years,
the Sedan High School girls’
basketball
team
captured
the championship of the Dale
Misak South Central Border
League Tournament. The Lady
Devils capped things off on Saturday with an impressive 5726 victory over Flinthills in the
title game at Scott Auditorium.
“Honestly, that’s the best
we’ve probably played in the
last two years,” said SHS coach
Lance Jeffers. “When we got
going, we shared the ball. Everything was working right.
When you come to a championship game, you want to play
your A game and play the best
that your team is capable of
playing. If we didn’t play the
best we’re capable of playing,
we were pretty close.”
Coupled with the boys title
later in the evening with a 6149 victory over West Elk, Sedan
became the first SCBL school to
win both the girls’ and boy’s
tournament titles in one season
since, coincidentally, SHS back
in 2004.
The Lady Devils improved
to 11-1 overall and now shift
their attention back to SCBL
regular-season action. On Friday, they will hit the road to
take on Argonia. Currently, Sedan’s girls are ranked No. 7 in
Class 2A according to the latest
Kansas Basketball Coaches Association poll.
“Winning the tournament
is great and feels good, but at
the end of it, it’s the best team
out of three games,” Jeffers
said. “I would rather win the
league overall because it shows
you are the best team in the
league over three months not
just three games. That’s what
we are focused on right now.”
Despite the final outcome,
the game was actually a battle
for much of the opening quarter. The teams were knotted at
7-all when Sedan finally started to take off.
The Lady Devils scored
nine of the final 11 points of
the period to take a 16-9 advantage and then blew things
open before halftime. Up 21-15
with 5:01 left in the half, SHS
exploded on a 14-0, including
a three-pointer from Haley
Williams, to extend their advantage to 20 at 35-15 heading
into the locker room.
“We’ve been in these pressure situations before,” Jeffers
said. “The last few years, we’ve
been in the finals and won it
two years ago. We wanted to
pressure them. They were new
to the finals. We wanted to get
them going and get them playing faster than they want to do
so we could take advantage of
it.”
Sedan’s pressure defense
eventually turned things into
a rout in the second half. The
Lady Devils scored two quick
bakets to push their streak of
points to 18 in a row. Defensively, they held Flinthills without a bucket for nearly eight
minutes. But even after the
Mustangs ended their drought,
the Devils weren’t done as they
scored the final 10 points of the
third quarter to push their lead
up to 53-19.
From there, it was smooth
sailing for Sedan. The fourth
quarter was played with a running clock due to the 30-point
mercy rule.
Jessica Roggow had a
game-high 19 points to lead the
way for SHS, followed by Williams with 10.

Trailing by as many as 16
points in the second half, the
West Elk girls stormed back to
tie things up but eventually fell
short in a 56-50 loss to Udall in
the seventh-place game of the
tournament Saturday morning
at Scott Auditorium.
“I’m proud of the girls and
proud of their effort compared
to what they’ve shown,” said
Lady Patriot coach Marty Koop.
“They showed great effort. The
defense was different in the
second half. We weren’t making our layups early on, but we
kept penetrating well and getting the ball inside. It all came
down to experience. They’re
not used to be under pressure
like this.”
West Elk — now 3-8 overall
— hits the road to Caldwell on
Friday.
The Lady Patriots were
digging their way out of a
hole most of the contest. Udall
jumped ahead 11-3 in the
opening quarter and had a
15-9 edge after eight minutes
of action.
Yet, WEHS did not go away.
The Lady Patriots scored the
first six points of the second
quarter before the Lady Eagles
responded. Udall (6-7) closed
the first half on a 14-5 run to
open up a 29-20 edge at the
break.
Things seemed to be getting out of hand in the second
half. Udall scored the first seven points to take its largest
lead of the game of 16, 36-20.
But WEHS chipped away at
that margin, getting within five
at 41-36 at the end of three
quarters.
The big push came in the
final period as a bucket from
Brooklyn Hilton with 4:13 to
go capped off an 11-4 run
that evened the score at 47all. Unfortunately, West Elk
could never get over the hump,
though. Udall responded to go
back ahead by six in the closing
minutes, and the Lady Patriots
never recovered.
Taylor Barker recorded a
game-high 18 points to lead the
THURSDAY’S GAMES
SEDAN 58,
SOUTH HAVEN 40
It took awhile, but the Lady
Devils eventually pulled away
in the second half for a 58-40
semifinal win over South Haven on Thursday.
“We kind of had to grind it
out,” Jeffers said. “It wasn’t the
prettiest. Jessica picked up two
quick fouls and she’s our quarterback out there. We need her
on the floor … not sitting by
us watching. To start the third
quarter, they went on a 7-0 run
to tie the game. We responded
well by finishing the quarter
on a 15-5 run. Then we kind
of put it away in the fourth. I
didn’t think we played that
great but was proud of the way
we responded to adversity.”
Leading 27-20 at the intermission, the Lady Devils
watched the Cardinals run off
seven straight to even things
at 27-all. But Sedan responded
in a big way by taking a 42-32
edge after three quarters and
never looking back.
Braylee Unruh paced SHS
with 17 points, while Taj Smith

Meanwhile, Argonia missed
four straight free throws just in
the final 10 seconds that could

“We don’t have that much

their role,” Hill said. “That’s

Central and West Elk wrestling Blair, Haag, Holt will lead
teams tie at Eureka Invitational Eight Man All-Star Game
By BRIAN THOMAS
[email protected]
EUREKA — With 36 points
apiece, the Central of Burden
and West Elk high school wrestling teams shared 15th place
at the Eureka Invitational on
Saturday.
El Dorado claimed the
team title with 182.5 points,
followed by Marion with 153
and Burlington 144.
Central managed its spot
despite being without the services of their top wrestler, Lucas McMichael. The top-ranked
wrestler in Class 3-2-1A at 170
pounds was out of service due
to injury but is expected to rejoin the team in the coming
weeks.
“We had a lot of ups and
downs this weekend,” said
Raider coach Mike McMichael.
“There was a lot of great wrestling. Eureka is always a good
tournament.”
Leading the way for Central on Saturday was Michael
Delaney, who finished the
day 3-1 for third place at 182
pounds. He closed out the day
by pinning three of his four opponents, including El Dorado’s
Austin Powell in the consolation match.
“Michael stays consistent
by wrestling hard and finding
himself on the podium again
with a third place,” McMichael
said. “After qualifying for state
last year, he has his goal set on
placing this year.”
The only other Raider
wrestler to place on the day
was Nathan Delaney, who
went 3-2 for sixth place at 138
pounds.
Also competing were Jacob
Haws, 0-2 at 120 pounds; Jeffery Dennett, 0-2 at 132; Hunter Rierson, 0-2 at 145; Pake
Stephens, 0-2 at 160; Josh
Snook, 1-2 at 195; Brian Andrews, 0-2 at 220; and Steven
Lambert, 0-2 at 285.
Central will next compete
at the Fredonia Invitational on
Saturday.

West Elk Elementary nearing
halfway point of AR points goal
By Donna Madison
The West Elk Elementary
students are almost half way to
their Accelerated Reader (AR)
point goal of 16,145 for this
school year. As of Dec. 11, the
students had a combined total
of 7,085 AR points. This point
total will only get higher as the
kindergarten students are beginning to read and take AR
tests, too.
This nine weeks three
fifth graders became “Reading Super Heroes.” To become
a “Reading Super Hero” the
student needs to have earned
at least 250 AR points. Our
“Reading Super Heroes” are
Wyatt Fechter, Dustin Montgomery and Jarrett Wilson.

Central of Burden High
School football coach Anthony Blair has been selected as
the head coach for the Eight
Man-Division I Football AllStar Game on June 11 in Beloit.
Blair is one of seven area
individuals to earn all-star recognition. Joining his coaching
staff for the game as assistants
will be West Elk head coach
Chris Haag and Sedan head
coach Mick Holt. Four area
players were selected to participate as well — West Elk’s
Isaiahh Loudermilk and Armando Gomez, and Central’s
Lucas McMichael and Michael
Delaney.
“When I first found out that
I was selected to be the head
coach, I was very honored to be
able to represent the D-1 East
All-Stars,” Blair said. “I am excited to work with the group of
all-stars that we have selected.
Having Coach Haag and Coach
Holt as my assistants will be
great with their experience
and knowledge of the game.
Having all three coaches out
of the SCBL, it represents our
league in a great way.”
Blair just completed his
second season as Central coach
after previously spending one
year at Cheylin High School in
Bird City. This past season, he
directed the Raiders to an 8-3
overall mark that included a
trip to the regional round of the
Eight Man-Division I playoffs.
His coaching staff for the
Eight-Man I All-Star Game will
have an All-South Central Border League feel to it with the
addition of Haag and Holt.
Haag was the head coach
of the East All-Stars a year ago
and returns as an assistant
this year. He just completed his
14th season as Patriot coach,
which has included four district championships. In the fall,
he led them to a 10-1 overall
mark and first playoff win in
school history.
“The experience of coaching in the game is amazing,”
Haag said. “I am extremely
honored to have this opportunity again this year. The players that represent their schools
is what makes the event so
special. It is the final game for
a majority of the players. It is
great to experience that with
them and the relationships that
you build with them in a short
amount of time.
“It is great to have the opportunity to work with Anthony and Mick. The three of us
have to compete against each
other during the year, but we
all are great friends and have
tremendous respect for each
other. We spend a lot of time
throughout the season conversing with each other and do
everything we can to help each
other out. I couldn’t ask for two
better friends or peers to share
this experience with. Hopefully, we can represent the SCBL
in a positive way and provide a
great experience for our players during the week.”
Holt led his Blue Devils
squad to a 5-4 mark this past
season. He just concluded his
sixth season as head coach at
Sedan.
“I felt very honored to be
asked to coach in the all-star
game,” Holt said. “Two years
ago, I was an assistant coach
for the East squad. I had a
blast coaching that team. It
was great getting to know the
players, some of whom I still
stay in contact with. It was also
fun talking football with the
other coaches each night. It’s
always good to learn from other coaches.
“I think the SCBL has represented itself very well in the
Gomez
Loudermilk
Delaney
McMichael
Blair
Haag
past couple of years at the allstar game. Not only have SCBL
coaches been selected to coach,
but the SCBL players have had
a definite impact on the games
… of which the East squad has
won two years in a row. I am
looking forward to coaching
alongside both Anthony and
Chris for a week. They are
both very good coaches who
I have the utmost respect for
and am looking forward to
picking their brains.”
Not only will the area be
represented on the East coaching staff, but four players were
selected as all-stars as well.
Loudermilk, who recently
verbally committed to play at
the University of Wisconsin,
was selected for the game but
will be unable to play since he
will be reporting to the Badgers
that same week. The senior
was also selected to participate
for the West Team in the 43rd
annual Kansas Shrine Bowl in
Emporia.
Also earning an all-star
spot from West Elk was Gomez.
The 5-8, 170-pound running
back rushed for 1,000 yards
each of his last three seasons,
including 1,765 yards and 37
touchdowns in his senior campaign.
“It is a great honor to have
them on the team,” Haag said.
“It will be pretty special to have
the opportunity to coach them
one final time. I am very proud
of them. They are amazing
young men and very deserving
of this honor. I know that they
will represent the Patriot Nation very well.
“Isaiahh and Armando
have been very special to our
program the last four years.
They represented great leadership this past season. Their
work ethic and attitude helped

These two men will be very
hard to replace, but hopefully
their leadership will be passed
on to our younger men and we
can continue to have success.”
McMichael racked up more
than 2,700 total yards of offense from the quarterback
and running back positions in
the fall for Central. He also finished just three tackles away
from 100 at linebacker on the
defensive side.
Delaney proved to be a
tough defensive stopper for
the Raiders all season, finishing with 94 tackles from the
end spot. He also recorded six
quarterback sacks and forced
one fumble.
“Having Lucas and Michael selected to the all-star
team was a big deal to me,”
Blair said. “They are the first
two players I have got into this
game. It means a ton to me to
be able to coach them for another week of football.
“They both brought a ton
of leadership to the team this
season. Lucas did a really
great job on both offense and
defense, scoring a lot of points
and running the offense, and
defensively he ran sideline to
sideline and did a great job of
keeping the defense in line and
where they were suppose to
be. Michael was a great blocker at fullback. Defensively, he
really played a big roll on the
defensive line and made a lot of
plays from the backside. Both
players had great seasons and
are well deserving of this great
honor.”

SHS overcomes West Elk for SCBL Championship semester honor rolls
SCBL Tournament Champs - Sedan Blue Devils
By BRIAN THOMAS
[email protected]
ARKANSAS CITY — Although the Sedan High School
boys’ basketball team has been
rolling much of the season, it
expected a bit of a battle when
it came to Saturday night’s
championship game of the Dale
Misak South Central Border
League Tournament.
The Blue Devils put their
unbeaten mark on the line
against West Elk, which was
the two-time defending champion in the event. Although it
was back and forth for three
quarters, SHS eventually prevailed as it pulled away late for
a 61-49 victory over the Patriots at Scott Auditorium.
“These are fun games,”
said Blue Devil coach Lance
Jeffers. “That was a competitive game. When I saw the
brackets come out, I was sure
it was going to be us and West
Elk in the finals. They’re not
a 7 seed. They missed Isaiahh
(Loudermilk) for a few games,
and then it’s taken a little bit
of time to get adjusted to him.
They’re going to win a lot of
ball games.”
The victory capped off an
impressive night for Sedan after the girls also claimed the
tournament title with a 57-26
win over Flinthills. It is the
first time since 2004 that the
same school won both championships. Coincidentally, it was
Sedan that pulled off that same
accomplishment 12 years ago.
Sedan’s boys improved
to 12-0 on the season as they
moved up in the state rankings this week to No. 3 in Class
2A by the Kansas Basketball
Coaches Association. The Blue
Devils will next hit the road to
Argonia for a league matchup
on Friday.
On the other side, West
Elk went into the tournament
seeded No. 7 and needed a 6036 victory over South Haven
a week earlier in the play-in
game just to advance to Arkansas City. The Patriots reached
the finals by way of wins over
Argonia and Flinthills. They
currently stand at 7-5 overall
heading into Friday’s league
contest at Caldwell.
“There’s a reason Sedan is
ranked in the state,” said WEHS
coach Dave Miller. “You’re not
going to find two better guards
on a team, in our area anyway
at this level. I can’t complain
about our effort. We’re just not
quite as deep as they are, and
they took advantage of it.”
Saturday’s championship
game was a battle from the
start. The Patriots scored the
game’s first four points, while
the Blue Devils missed their
first six shots from the field.
Yet, Sedan went on an 8-2 run
and eventually the game was
tied at 8-all after one quarter
of play.
Alex Burger hit a pair of
three-pointers early in the second quarter to give the Devils
a 16-12 edge. But the Patriots would not go away as they
scored six straight points to go
up by one in the final minute of
the period. A bucket by Noah
Chee eventually gave Sedan a
22-21 advantage heading into
the intermission.
“We didn’t play bad in the
first half … we just didn’t hit
shots,” Jeffers said. “At halftime, I only changed a few
things defensively, but we
didn’t talk anything about our
offense. I didn’t feel like we
needed to change anything. We
just needed to hit some shots.
We got through the third quarter and then we started knocking down some shots.”
Things remained tight after the break with the teams
locked up at 26-all midway
through the third quarter.
That’s when things started to
swing Sedan’s way.
The Blue Devils ran off seven straight points and took a
36-31 lead into the final quarter. To open the final period,
Sedan scored seven of the first
eight points to open up a double-digit margin at 43-32.
From there, Sedan took
off, using an 8-0 run to take its
largest lead of the game of 17
at 51-34 with 5:11 to go.
Alex Perez knocked down
three three-pointers as part
of a 21-point effort to lead the
Blue Devils. Chee also reached
double figures with 18.
West Elk was led by Cade
Miller and John Heinen with 13
points each, while Loudermilk
followed with 10.

West Elk jumped out to
a 28-point halftime lead and
never looked back in rolling
to a 61-50 semifinal win over
Flinthills on Friday.
“We jumped out to a big
lead and kept it going in the
first half,” said Miller, whose
squad led 41-13 at the intermission. “In the second half,
we came out flat, and Flinthills came out with energy. You
have to give them credit … they
played with a purpose. Luckily,
we were able to hold them off.”
Loudermilk recorded a
double-double with 15 points
and 19 rebounds. Heinen followed with 13 points, while

ARGONIA — Working its
way into the bracket with a
play-in victory over South Haven, West Elk continued its recent surge with a 58-41 quarterfinal victory at Argonia last
Wednesday.
“For the most part, we
played well,” Miller said. “We
had a couple of stretches late
in the first and second quarters that kept us from getting
a bigger lead at half. Everyone
who played in crunch time did
a good job. The boxscore may
not show it, but it was a fine
team effort.”
The Patriots led 39-33 at
the end of three quarters but
opened things up with a 19-8
run in the final period.
Loudermilk had a teamhigh 23 points and 19 rebounds
for a double-double. Cade Miller knocked down four treys

Ask Jack
Over the years I’ve been
asked to serve on various committees, civic boards, business
boards, and planning events.
Sometimes it’s been an honor,
and at other times it’s just been
a necessary chore that needed
to be done. I’m sure that many
of you have had the same experience.
It seems that most organizations are in need of volunteers from time to time to help
carry out the mission, but just
how clearly defined is that mission? That’s where many clubs,
organizations, and businesses
fall short when trying to attract
and retain motivated volunteers. If the mission is vague,
and the team members are un-
PRAIRIE STAR
sure of their respective roles in
achieving the goals, they tend
to drift away.
One of the first things you
should ask when approached
to serve is, “What is the mission of the organization, and
what is the purpose of this
board?” The next thing to ask
is, “What is expected of the
board members, and do you
provide new member orientation or training?” The leader of
any business, club, or church
committee needs to be able to
provide clear, concise answers
to those questions in order to
recruit new board members
and/or volunteers.
Once you’re satisfied that
it’s something that interests

you, ask this, “Is there a plan
in place so that the volunteers
have a roadmap to follow, and
if not, why?” My recommendation would be that the development of a strategic plan should
be one of the highest priorities
of the board. Otherwise, it’s
like a rudderless ship, drifting
from place to place with no obvious destination in sight.

Things have not gone well
this week here in our little corner of the world. First, the icy
conditions caused quite a few
folks to slip and slide. Some of
the accidents were serious. Roy
Copenhaver rolled his truck
east of town and came out with
fractured vertebrae in his neck
and some fractured ribs. He
will spend some time recovering in Montgomery Place in Independence. Keep on fighting
Roy - we need you back home!
An even sadder thing happened over the weekend. One
of our newer residents Melissa
Muldrow passed away in her
sleep. She leaves two children
at home. They will need our
support to get along til things
are figured out.
This week is supposed to
be warmer. Hopefully the mud
will dry out some so I can do
my own chores. I’m tired of
slipping and sliding while trying to get around. Does everyone have their peas on hand?
It’s almost time to plant them. I
can’t wait to start gardening.
In answer to a readers

as soon as the weather warms

Not much news because we
hibernated this weekend after
a long week of fighting the icy
roads. So thankful it wasn’t like
the 18-24 inch blizzard that the
northeast part of the country is
dealing with. I fell on the ice
on Tuesday and hurt my lower
back and landed right square
on my tailbone. My back has
been pretty sore and stiff and
I also wrenched my neck so it
was sore, too. I decided to stay
at Jamie and Stuart’s three
nights so I wouldn’t have to
drive on those roads at 6 a.m.,
and risk falling again. I’m doing better, but it is still sore.
We really enjoyed our three
days at home. I cooked for the
week, watched Shocker basketball, watched Gracepoint
and LifeChurch online, read
and loved being a couch potato. We are resting up for the
new arrival that is coming any
day, David and Shauna’s baby.
We cannot wait. I plan to go up

Behold the sun is shining. What a blessing. I am more
than ready for the brightness
of our world, and not have the
dreary weather we have had;
but on the other side, so very
happy that we don’t have what
they have in the eastern/southerner part of the United States.
I watched the weather channel and CNN so much on Saturday, and sent prayers to all
the people that were stranded
on the roadways, and in their
homes with no heat, and those
caught in the flooding parts of
our country. Hopefully they all
stayed warm as they could possibly be, and arrived safely to
their destination.
I am sure that everyone

Shauna is officially on maternity leave for 12 weeks. She is
really tired and miserable so
she hopes he comes soon. The
baby has moved almost constantly during his time in his
mama and hiccups all the time.
Hope he isn’t that active when
he gets here. Please pray for a
safe delivery for Shauna and
baby.

her mother is in good spirits

Carolyn told me that Vernon and Clara Jones and Florence Lampson were there in

composure will be the natural results.” Joyce Meyer - Get
Your Hopes Up!
Years ago I learned from
Joyce Meyer that worry is a
sin. I had never thought of worry in that way; that it is a lack
of trust in the Lord to get you
through anything. It changed
how I approach each day and
what that day brings. You also
don’t feel alone as you are going through the tough times
because you give it to Him and
He leads you through it.
