When shots weren't falling for the rest of the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes, <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/9e496232-d1c7-470e-997a-c14e21d9daa3?elinkdata=15914">Easton Hunter</a> was there to make up the difference. Hunter scored a career-high 34 points, but his outstanding effort wasn't enough as Oklahoma Wesleyan knocked off the Coyotes 78-68 on Saturday at Mabee Arena.

Hunter connected on 12 field goals (of KWU's 21) which included five 3-pointers, as he eclipsed his previous career best of 30 set against Avila on February 9, 2022.

KWU struggled to find the basket in the game, going just 21 of 66 for 31.8 percent for the game and 5 of 30 from behind the 3-point line, which included going 0 for 13 in the second half.

Despite the shooting woes, the Coyotes were never down by more than 14 points at any point in the game.

KWU led by eight out of the starting blocks, 14-6 with 12:39 to go in the first on three free throws by <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/4ee16263-180c-4266-9859-32ce3c1f7e39?elinkdata=15914">Carson Jones</a> who was fouled on a 3-point attempt. The Eagles responded with a 7-0 run to get back within a point at 14-13, but the Coyotes held the lead until the 9:06 mark when OKWU took the lead on Jaden Lietzke's bucket at 17-16.

The Coyotes got the lead back on a bucket by <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/7bf91a1c-7352-43e9-8210-a5d71baae1a3?elinkdata=15914">Evens Appolon</a> at 21-20 with 6:43 to go in the first, but KWU found itself down 39-27 thanks to a 19-6 run by the Eagles with 3:35 to go in the half.

KWU trailed 41-28 with 2:36 left, but ended the half on an 8-0 run to get within five at 41-36 at the intermission.

The Eagles pushed their lead back out to 10 at 48-38 on a 3-pointer by Nick Bene and extended it to 14 at 56-42 with 13:54 remaining.

Free throws by <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/78c81dfe-b95e-432d-8215-b220dfef3792?elinkdata=15914">Stefan Spray</a> got the Coyotes back within eight at 58-50 with 10:19 to go, but the Eagles kept the Coyotes at arm's length, taking a 65-51 lead with 7:25 left.

KWU made another push, getting the difference to seven on a 7-0 run but again the Eagles pressed back, pushing out to a 10 point lead several times.

Hunter was the lone Coyote in double figures. Appolon and Spray had eight each and <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/6c6d792d-1c61-485f-bd38-7e8bfaf5a220?elinkdata=15914">Izaiah Hale</a> added six.

The Kansas Wesleyan Women's Basketball team's offense has been on fire the last four outings.

Winners of their last four, the Coyotes have shot over 45 percent from the field and have scored no less than 83 points during the stretch.

Saturday's game was another outstanding offensive effort as the Coyotes dispatched the Oklahoma Wesleyan Eagles 83-73 at Mabee Arena.

It was another fast start for the Coyotes who raced out to a 24-4 lead after a quarter.

The Coyotes used a 16-0 run to break a 2-2 tie to start the game as KWU led 18-2 with 2:38 left in the first on <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/3f023bdb-1001-4e98-bfce-27c41d1f77f9?elinkdata=15943">Angel Lee's</a> basket.

🏀 Coyote WBB stays unbeaten in KCAC defeating Oklahoma Wesleyan 83-73

DICKINSON, N.D. - Kansas Wesleyan's valiant upset effort came up one quarter short in the first round of the NAIA Football Championship Series.

The Coyotes led No. 14-ranked Dickinson State by 10 late in the third quarter but could not hang on and fell 27-20 on a frigid Saturday afternoon at the Henry Biesiot Activities Center.

After starting the year with a 2-4 record KWU entered the postseason on a five-game winning streak and finishes with a 7-5 record. DSU (10-1) won for the eighth consecutive time and will play second-ranked Grand View (Iowa) next week on the road.

"You can't ask anything more from the coaches and what the kids and coaches have gone through the last six weeks," co-interim head coach <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/2c7c2e3b-e638-48b0-83f4-603e50ade3c2?elinkdata=15885">Chris Snyder</a> said. "It's just sad that it's over. You wish you could do more for the kids."

Embracing their underdog status once again the Coyotes scored on <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/e6727ef0-6953-427f-b66f-a83818ded789?elinkdata=15885">Byron McNair's</a> 41-yard pass to <a href="http://kwucoyotes.com/services/go.ashx/185d74d9-97bf-4f32-977c-e1c490eb5c7b?elinkdata=15885">Darrias Pearsall</a> on their first offensive play of the game with 13:28 left in the opening quarter for a 7-0 lead.

DSU went on top 10-7 late in the first quarter.

Armstrong struck again on the fourth play of the second half when he sprinted 75 yards for a touchdown. The extra point attempt was blocked but the Coyotes led 20-10.

Armstrong, the NAIA's second leading rusher, finished with 156 yards rushing on 22 carries - a whopping 7.1 average. DSU's defense entered the game allowing an average of just 69.5 yards rushing per game.

The Blue Hawks narrowed the gap to 20-13 with a field goal with 1:51 left in the third quarter but it was at that point Lady Luck turned her back on KWU.

The Blue Hawks' Jayden Heartwell recovered and returned it to the 40-yard line.

DSU then embarked on a 15-play drive that culminated with quarterback Will Madler scoring from the 1 and tying it 20-20 with 8:26 remaining.

The Coyotes went three-and-out on their possession and punted. Starting at their own 17-yard line DSU drove 83 yards on 16 plays, 15 of them on the ground. Madler ended it with a 12-yard touchdown run with 29 seconds left.

KWU finished with 311 total yards (158 passing, 153 rushing) while DSU had 357 total (231 rushing, 126 passing). Defensively the Coyotes had four sacks, an interception and recovered a fumble.

🏈 KWU drops heartbreaker to Dickinson State 27-20 in NAIA FCS First Round

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 269 yards and&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/Chiefs/status/1860779368617824699">three touchdowns</a>, Spencer Shrader kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Carolina Panthers 30-27 on Sunday to reach double-digit wins for the 10th straight season.

Noah Gray caught two TD passes as the Chiefs (10-1) bounced back from last week’s 30-21 loss at Buffalo and won at the buzzer yet again in a season of narrow escapes.&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1860779327538733210">DeAndre Hopkins also had a touchdown catch</a>&nbsp;for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, who scored on their first five possessions.

Bryce Young finished 21 of 35 for 262 yards and a touchdown for the Panthers (3-8), who had their two-game winning streak snapped. David Moore had six receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown.

Trailing 27-19, Young completed a fourth-down pass to Adam Thielen to move the chains, then went deep for the veteran receiver, who drew a pass-interference penalty on Chamarri Conner. That set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Chuba Hubbard.

Young's initial 2-point conversion toss to Moore drew a flag on Trent McDuffie, and Hubbard ran for 2 on the next play to tie the game with 1:46 left.

Mahomes ran for 33 yards on the ensuing drive and was sprung by a downfield block from Justin Watson to reach field goal range. Then he connected with Kareem Hunt for 10 yards to make it a chip shot for Shrader. Mahomes finished with 60 yards rushing.

The Chiefs wasted no time setting the tone as Samaje Perine returned the opening kickoff 56 yards and Mahomes found&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/Chiefs/status/1860746775801307357">Gray for a 35-yard touchdown strike</a>&nbsp;on the third play of scrimmage for a 7-0 lead. Gray went nine games without a TD catch before hauling in two last week against Buffalo. His 11-yard score late in the second quarter gave him&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/Chiefs/status/1860764959220601320">two more against the Panthers</a>.

The Panthers moved the ball well but struggled in the red zone, resulting in field goals of 30, 32, 29 and 33 yards for Eddy Pineiro, the most accurate kicker in NFL history.

Running back Jonathan Brooks made his NFL debut for Carolina, but was limited to 7 yards on two carries.

Eight of the Chiefs' wins have come by a one-score margin, and this was their second straight victory decided on the last play. They beat Denver two weeks ago by blocking a would-be game-winning field goal.

Kansas City's Travis Kelce had six catches for 62 yards and moved into third place in career yards receiving by a tight end. He ranks behind only Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten. However, Kelce failed to find the end zone for the ninth time in 11 games this season.

Panthers: Rookie TE Ja'Tavion Sanders was taken to the hospital with a neck injury after landing awkwardly on his head after making a catch near the end of the second quarter.

🏈 Chiefs top Panthers on Shrader's field goal as time expired

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — DJ Giddens rushed for 143 yards, on just 15 carries, with two touchdowns, as Kansas State defeated Cincinnati 41-15 Saturday night.

Kansas State (8-3, 5-3 Big 12) snapped a two-game losing streak with the victory.

“It was an inspired win by our guys,” Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said. “I'm proud of the whole team, proud of our seniors for responding to the adversity that we’ve had.

"We knew we needed to start fast, and we did start fast. Our defense really made them one-dimensional early on, and then we did some really good things.”

Cincinnati (5-6, 3-5 Big 12) lost its fourth straight game. The Bearcats need a home win against TCU next Saturday to achieve bowl eligibility.

Avery Johnson was 13-of-23 passing for 147 yards and two touchdowns for KSU. With running back Dylan Edwards out with an undisclosed injury, Johnson also ran the ball 10 times for 81 yards and a score.

“(The coaches) definitely said it was going to be a heavier QB-run game this week,” Johnson said about the extra workload. “And you know, that’s one of the strongest suits of my game. I was just running behind my pads, kind of fitting up in some gaps when I needed to and just trying my best to follow those guys' blocks.”

Klieman was especially proud of his defense in the clutch.

“Cincinnati was 3 of 12 third down, 0 of 5 on fourth down," he said. "That was a big-time effort on fourth down especially, because there’s a handful of those that were in critical situations and those weren’t fourth-and-10 or fourth-and-12. Those were fourth-and-short to fourth-and-medium.”

Brendan Sorsby was 21 of 39 for 200 yards and two touchdowns for the Bearcats.

Trailing by 24 points, Cincinnati found the end zone on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Sorsby to Tony Johnson late in the third quarter. The 2-point conversion failed. Giddens had his second rushing touchdown on K-State's next drive.

Johnson's 8-yard touchdown pass to Will Swanson put K-State up 41-9. Sorsby then found Johnson for a 6-yard touchdown.

“We were contemplating between two plays, and (offensive coordinator Conor Riley) asked me what I wanted,” Johnson said. “And I (chose) the play we ended up calling. Riles kind of looked at me a little bit funny, and then we called it. We had two guys wide open because they didn’t know how to cover it. It was just all smiles on the sideline.”

Kansas State wasted little time grabbing a 7-0 lead on its opening drive on a 21-yard touchdown run by Johnson. That capped a five-play, 65-yard drive.

The Wildcats extended the lead to 10-0 on a 28-yard Chris Tennant field goal, and then to 13-0 on his 32-yarder.

After K-State held Cincinnati on fourth-and-8 at the KSU 33, Giddens pushed the Wildcats' lead to 20-0 when he used a spin move at the line of scrimmage and then raced 32 yards for a touchdown, capping a four-play drive.

Cincinnati got on the scoreboard with 4:17 left in the first half with a 42-yard field goal by Nathan Hawks.

Brendan Mott then intercepted a Sorsby pass at the Cincinnati 22-yard line and returned it to the 6. It was Mott's first career interception in his last home game.

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish it off and get the 6 points,” Mott said. “When I got to the sideline, I don't know if I got more ‘Congratulations’ or, ‘Man, you should have housed that thing.’”

Two plays later, Johnson found Tre Spivey for a 6-yard touchdown and the Wildcats led 27-3 at halftime.

Cincinnati: The Bearcats struggled to convert at crucial times. They were just 3 of 12 on third-down conversions and 0 for 5 when going for it on fourth down.

Kansas State: The score may have been lopsided in Kansas State's favor, but the Wildcats were not dominant. They out-gained Cincinnati by just 54 total yards.

🏈 DJ Giddens runs 2 touchdowns to lead K-State over Cincinnati

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Devin Neal ran for 207 yards and three touchdowns, caught four passes for 80 yards and another score, and led Kansas to a 37-21 victory over No. 16 Colorado on Saturday that dealt a big blow to the Buffaloes' hopes of playing for the Big 12 title.

Jalon Daniels threw for 189 yards and a touchdown, and the Jayhawks (5-6, 4-4) scored on every offensive series but their last, keeping Colorado stars Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy candidate Travis Hunter standing on the sideline.

Sanders finished with 266 yards passing and three touchdowns, setting the Colorado single-season record with 30 TD passes, while Hunter finished with eight catches for 125 yards and two scores. But the two-way standout did little on defense — nor did anyone else wearing all-white uniforms — as the Jayhawks beat a ranked team for a school-record third straight week.

Now, the Buffaloes (8-3, 6-2 Big 12, No. 16 CFP) need to beat Oklahoma State and get some help to play for a championship in their return to the Big 12, and earn the league's guaranteed spot in the College Football Playoff.

The Jayhawks, whose back-to-back wins over Iowa State and BYU had given them newfound confidence, suddenly resemble the team that was expected to challenge for a Big 12 title — before a series of late-game collapses resulted in a 1-5 start.

They opened with Neal's 51-yard touchdown catch. They forced a three-and-out and scored again for a 10-0 lead. And when they got the ball back yet again, the Jayhawks churned down field and Neal scampered into the end zone for another score.

It was 17-0 before Hunter, who has emerged as the Heisman front-runner, took a short pass from Sanders and cut up field, deftly slipping between several Kansas defenders and going untouched 51 yards for a touchdown.

The teams traded scores into the break, and the Jayhawks held tightly to a 23-14 advantage. But the question became whether Kansas coach Lance Leipold would rue kicking field goals of 24, 23 and 25 yards rather than going for first-half touchdowns.

After the Buffaloes closed within 23-21 on Hunter's second TD catch, the Jayhawks marched 80 yards with Neal answering the score. Kansas immediately forced a three-and-out, sacking Sanders on third down — he appeared to shove an official in the back after the play — and the Neal scored again to cap an 8-plus minute drive and give the Jayhawks a 37-21 lead.

Colorado's comeback chances ended when Cobee Bryant broke up a pass in the end zone on fourth down late in the game.

Colorado will lament a defense that was simply incapable of stopping the Jayhawks. Defensive back Shilo Sanders was flagged twice and gave up several big plays, while the Buffaloes were bullied up front by the Kansas offensive line.

Kansas could improbably make a bowl game for a third consecutive season. The Jayhawks merely need to beat Baylor in their regular-season finale — what would be their season-ending fifth straight win — to earn an invitation.

🏈 Devin Neal scores 4 times, Kansas beats No. 16 Colorado

By TYLER HENRY Lead Sportswriter - Salina Post

If ever there had been a night for Southeast of Saline to lose a football game, this was it.

Yet despite suffering self-inflicted wounds, late-game adversity, and virtually insurmountable odds inside the closing minutes, the Trojans steeled their resolve and battled back to knock off Beloit on a walk-off game winner 34-30.

After building an early 14-6 lead things fell apart fast for SES, who allowed Beloit to march down and cut the deficit to two just before the halftime break.

Things did not improve in the third quarter as Evan Watkins had a punt blocked inside his own end zone on Southeast’s first drive, setting Beloit up for a Joel Rexroat touchdown run to take an 18-14 lead.

The two teams traded turnovers, but Beloit handed the ball back to Rexroat on the first play of their ensuing drive, and the tailback took it 76 yards to the house to extend the lead to 24-14.

For many teams, that would have been a knockout blow, but Southeast was far from finished, as Gannon Jacobson delivered a 33-yard beauty to Tucker Thaxton to put the game back within reach.

An SES stop to start the fourth quarter gave the ball back to the Trojans in purple and white, and on the very next play, Southeast responded on a screen play that Grady Gebhardt took 80 yards to paydirt to restore a 28-24 lead to SES.

While Southeast celebrated, those watching and on both sidelines knew this contes was still far from finished.

From the Southeast 42-yard line, Beloit flexed their muscle through the air as Jaxon Weston linked up with Jacob Hand on a deep ball to force yet another lead change and put Beloit in front 30-28.

SES was forced to punt but stood tall defensively and returned their offense to the field for one last 2:00 drill with a chance to win the game in the closing minutes.

Instead, Ryker Clark picked off Gannon Jacobson for his fourth interception of the season to line the nails around the SES coffin.

Understanding that a first down would spell the end of their season, Southeast once again stood tall, stopping Beloit on three straight plays, using their final two timeouts, and forcing Beloit to punt one final time with 53 seconds remaining.

The final drive would require 80 yards in under a minute, but a completion to Evan Watkins, a scramble by Gannon Jacobson, and another completion to Kanyon Douglas for his first catch of the day put the Trojans at the 25-yard line.

With time for just one last play, Jacobson took the snap, stepped up in the pocket, and delivered a ball to the front corner of the end zone that fell right into the lap of a streaking Kanyon Douglas.

As the Trojan players and coaches rushed the field to celebrate the realization began to set in; for just the second time in program history, the Southeast of Saline Trojans will be playing for a state title.

“This is the way our kids are, they’re going to keep fighting and clawing. Could we have made some plays in the first half that would have made this easier? Sure, but our kids kept digging and even exhausted our guys found a way to get it done.”

The final hurdle will be a steep one in the form of the two-time defending state champion Nemaha Central Thunder (11-1), but with the wind of this win in their sails, Southeast of Saline will be amped and ready to come for the kings next Friday.

Southeast walks off Beloit to complete thrilling semifinal comeback

ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands (AP) — David N’Guessan had 17 points and nine rebounds, Dug McDaniel added 13 points with five assists and Kansas State beat George Washington 83-71 on Friday night at the Paradise Jam.

Kansas State (4-1) plays a winner-bracket game against Liberty on Sunday. George Washington (4-1) moves to the consolation bracket against Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday. The Wildcats are playing the Paradise Jam for the third time and first since 2018.

It’s a homecoming for Kansas State coach Jerome Tang and assistant Jareem Dowling, who spent most of their formative years in the Virgin Islands.

McDaniel scored four straight points in a half-closing 6-0 run to make it 46-27 at the break. Kansas State shot 52% from the field in the first half, while George Washington was 7 of 28 (25%).
