Practices buoyed by weather



By LARRY MORITZ Salina Journal

Bruce Graber received two pleasant surprises for his first practice as Sacred Heart head football coach.

One was the weather that greeted the Knights and all high school athletic teams on Monday, the first official day of practice for six fall sports in the state of Kansas.

It almost felt like football weather when Graber and the Knights took the practice field at 6:15 a.m., with the temperature in the low 60s.

North boys score victory behind 22-0 spurts



By LARRY MORITZ Salina Journal

TOPEKA — Patience usually has no place in an all-star game.

The Kansas Basketball Coaches Association boys all-star contest was much like the fable of the tortoise and the hare. The South ran out to a quick lead but seemingly expended much of its energy. The North, after biding its time early in the game, used a 22-0 run late in the first half to take the lead for good, then held off a late charge by the South in a 111-103 victory Thursday night at Lee Arena.

The South was on a pace to score 132 points when it led 33-22 after the game’s first 10 minutes, and still led 47-40 with less than four minutes to play in the opening half.

West overcomes self-inflicted wounds for 45-29 Shrine Bowl victory



By ARNE GREEN | Salina Journal

PITTSBURG — There was no panic in the West huddle.

A series of self-inflicted wounds had turned the 37th Kansas Shrine Bowl into a shootout, but with its back against the wall the West came out with guns blazing, and in a matter of minutes it was over.

After the East cashed in on two miscues to take the lead with less than five minutes left, the West answered quickly and decisively, then poured it on the rest of the way for a 45-29 victory at Pittsburg State’s Carnie Smith Stadium.
