Hello and happy Friday everybody, it’s Tyler Henry, back with another KINA Sports Update presented by Salina Regional Orthopedic and Sports Medicine.

On Thursday morning it was announced that Paige Talbott would be taking the role of new head girl’s basketball coach at Salina Central
Talbott brings college coaching experience after spending the last two years as an assistant at Emporia State, as well as college playing experience at both Barton Community College and Bethany College.
The local product graduated from Ellsworth High School and with former head girls coach Chris Fear sliding over to coach the boys, fills out the basketball coaching positions for next winter

Last night was also a busy one in the NCAA as the Southeast of Saline baseball and softball teams did battle with Beloit in this year’s Trojan Wars
On the baseball side of things, the two teams split the series, with SES winning game one 9-5 and Beloit taking game two 9-0
On the softball diamond, SES prevailed in a clean sweep, defeating the Orange unit 7-2 and 14-4 to tighten their stranglehold on the league and take sole possession of first place
