🎥Watch live tonight as the SES girls take on Hoisington

By TYLER HENRY Salina Post contributor

After taking care of business knocking off Beloit 52-41 in the sub-state quarterfinals, the Southeast of Saline girl's basketball team is on to the semis to throw down with Hoisington on Thursday.

This 2-3 matchup will see the Lady Trojans enter at 18-3, still ranked as the #8 team in Class 3A while the Lady Cardinals come in at 13-8 after dispatching Smoky Valley 47-39 on Monday.

Southeast was lifted past Beloit thanks in part to a 26-point performance by Reagan Goetz, who has saved her best basketball for last here at the end of the year.

The Lady Trojans will be eager to get back on the floor in Russell this evening and take one more step toward a return to the 3A state tournament.

"Our girls are ready to play again and want to have the chance to play on Saturday in the championship game," SES head coach Shauna Smith said. "Hoisington is a good all-around team with some size, they play a solid 3-2 defense so we will have to move the ball to be able to attack inside."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket, the #2 team in the state and 1-seed in Phillipsburg (21-0) will square off with the 4-seed in Norton (13-9) for the other spot in Saturday's finale.

The Lady Panthers defeated Russell 59-11 on Monday while the Blue Jays eliminated Ellsworth 47-36.

Tip-off between the Lady Trojans and Cardinals is set for 7:30 at Russell High School, with the winner advancing to the sub-state championship game at 5:30 on Saturday.

The game can be heard on KINA (910 AM or 107.5 FM) or streamed with live audio and video on the Salina Post courtesy of Bennington State Bank.

Sub-State snapshot preview: SES girls vs. Hoisington

The Southeast of Saline boys’ basketball team cruised through the opening round of sub-state on Tuesday, defending their home floor in a 77-48 victory over Phillipsburg.

This win is the 20th of the year for the now 20-1 Trojans while the Panther’s campaign comes to a close at 10-11.

In addition to collecting their second ten-game winning streak of the year, Southeast also equaled their highest scoring output of the season, matching a 77-point performance against Abilene in early December.

Nine different Trojans found the scoring column including five who chipped in nine or more, led by Nakari Morrical-Palmer who tallied 20 in the win.

Nakari was aided by Luke Gebhardt (12), Eli Sawyers (11), Drake Augustine (10), and Kayson Lilley (9) in a true team effort on the offensive end.

Defensively, the Trojans looked as sharp as ever, forcing 22 turnovers out of Phillipsburg while surrendering the ball just eight times themselves.

With this win, SES advances to the sub-state semifinals on Friday where they will square off with a former league foe in Russell at 7:30.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket, Beloit will take on Norton at 6:00.

All future bracket games will be played at Russell High School. For continuing coverage of Trojan hoops at sub-state stay tuned to the Salina Post.

🎥Watch live tonight as Phillipsburg takes on SES boys in sub-state

The Southeast of Saline girl’s basketball team opened sub-state play with a triumphant 52-41 defeat of Beloit on Monday, advancing to the sub-state semis while completing the rare three-game sweep of a league rival.

With this win, the 8th-ranked Lady Trojan's overall record moves to 18-3 while Beloit’s season comes to an end at 4-17.

Much like the first two meetings with Beloit, Southeast jumped out to a big early lead and took a 10-2 advantage into the second quarter.

Not content to go down quietly, Beloit battled back and trailed by just five at the half courtesy of a big 10-0 run, but SES would hold the rival Trojans at arm's length the rest of the way to secure the quarterfinal victory.

Turnovers proved to be vital as the Southeast defense turned over the orange and black 18 times while coughing the ball up in the single digits themselves.

Offensively, it was another monster game for Reagan Goetz, who continues to save her best for last scoring 26 points, including 20 in the second half to secure the victory.

Goetz was joined in double figures by Brielle Ptacek, who added 11 more to the Lady Trojan tally.

Next up, SES will turn its attention to 13-8 Hoisington, who handled their business on Monday in a 47-39 win over Smoky Valley.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket, Phillipsburg (21-0) eliminated Russell (2-18) 59-11, while Norton (13-9) knocked off Ellsworth (11-10) 47-36.

Monday prep basketball scores

After closing out their regular season on a nine-game winning streak, the Southeast of Saline boys' basketball team will turn their attention to sub-state, and to a Tuesday quarterfinal at home against Phillipsburg.

The Trojans come into this contest ranked as the #2 team in Class 3A at 19-1 while the Panthers enter as the 8-seed at a still very respectable 10-10.

After returning everyone from a team that took third at state last season, hopes and expectations are high in Gypsum, and the Trojans are eager to get back on the floor in a playoff atmosphere.

"It’s always a good feeling around playoff time," SES head coach Bryson Flax said. "Everyone is 0-0, everyone has a chance, and everything you did in the summer and early in the year all leads to this. It's about surviving one game at a time."

Despite holding the top seed and home court for this round one tilt, Southeast finds themselves in the only 3A bracket, boys or girls, to feature eight teams with a record at or above .500.

As a result, there will be no pushovers on the path to state, and the Trojans will need to remain vigilant from the opening tip of game one.

"Phillipsburg isn’t your typical 8-seed," Flax said. "They’re really balanced in their scoring, so you can’t help off of anyone too much. Defensively they switch it up between zone and man throughout the entire game. We'll have to recognize quickly and get into our offense while playing with good pace and rebounding at a high level."

The winner of this 1-8 matchup will advance to the bracket semifinals to face either 13-7 Russell or 12-8 Ellsworth on Friday.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket, second-seeded Beloit (15-5) will host Hoisington (11-9) with the winner of that game getting either 13-7 Norton, or 11-9 Smoky Valley in the other Friday semifinal.

Tip-off between the Trojans and Panthers is scheduled for 6:00 at the Purple Palace in Gypsum, and as always, the game can be heard on KINA (910 AM or 107.5 FM) or streamed with live audio and video on the Salina Post courtesy of Bennington State Bank.

🎥UPDATE: Technical difficulties resolved; live stream returns

The 8th-ranked Southeast of Saline girl's basketball team will open sub-state play on Monday when they host the Beloit Lady Trojans in a bonus edition of this year's Trojan War.

Southeast comes into this contest as the 2-seed in this year's bracket at 17-3 overall while Beloit limps in at 4-16.

Of those 17 victories for the Lady Trojans in purple, two came against this very Beloit outfit, with SES collecting wins of 59-29 back in December, and 52-35 back in early February.

There's little question that Southeast has been playing their best basketball down the stretch, having won nine of their last ten games, and posting four 50+ point performances in their final five.

Now, the Lady Trojans will look to put it all together in what they hope will culminate in yet another deep playoff push.

"The season really flew by," SES head coach Shauna Smith said. "It seems like we were just at this point last year and the girls are getting the energy that you need to play in the postseason."

In order to overcome a league foe for a third time, Southeast will need to dictate the pace early, and overcome Beloit's size advantage in the paint.

"We need to be in control and establish ourselves as shot-makers from the start," Smith said. "This is a familiar team but we can't overlook the things they do well. They have size and they hit the offensive glass well so we need to limit them to one shot per possession."

The winner of this game will advance to the bracket semifinals to square off with either 12-8 Hoisington or 11-9 Smoky Valley on Thursday.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket, 2nd-ranked and 1-seeded Phillipsburg (20-0) will host Russell (2-18), with the winner moving on to face either Norton (12-9) or Ellsworth (11-9).

 </figure>The 8th-ranked Southeast of Saline girl's basketball team will open sub-state play on Monday when they host the Beloit Lady Trojans in a bonus edition of this year's Trojan War.Southeast comes into this contest as the 2-seed in this year's bracket at 17-3 overall while Beloit limps in at 4-16.Of those 17 victories for the Lady Trojans in purple, two came against this very Beloit outfit, with SES collecting wins of 59-29 back in December, and 52-35 back in early February.There's little question that Southeast has been playing their best basketball down the stretch, having won nine of their last ten games, and posting four 50+ point performances in their final five.Now, the Lady Trojans will look to put it all together in what they hope will culminate in yet another deep playoff push."The season really flew by," SES head coach Shauna Smith said. "It seems like we were just at this point last year and the girls are getting the energy that you need to play in the postseason."In order to overcome a league foe for a third time, Southeast will need to dictate the pace early, and overcome Beloit's size advantage in the paint."We need to be in control and establish ourselves as shot-makers from the start," Smith said. "This is a familiar team but we can't overlook the things they do well. They have size and they hit the offensive glass well so we need to limit them to one shot per possession."The winner of this game will advance to the bracket semifinals to square off with either 12-8 Hoisington or 11-9 Smoky Valley on Thursday.Meanwhile, on the other side of the bracket, 2nd-ranked and 1-seeded Phillipsburg (20-0) will host Russell (2-18), with the winner moving on to face either Norton (12-9) or Ellsworth (11-9).Tip-off between these two Lady Trojans' is set for 7:00 at the Purple Palace in Gypsum and as always, the game can be heard on KINA (910 AM or 107.5 FM) or streamed live on the Salina Post courtesy of Bennington State Bank.For continuing coverage of Lady Trojan hoops throughout the sub-state tournament stay tuned to the Salina Post.

Sub-State Snapshot Preview: SES girls vs. Beloit

By GARY DEMUTH Salina Symphony

Stir up a bit of Bizet, Broadway and The Beatles, and what do you get?

A soufflé of a pops concert from the Salina Symphony titled, appropriately enough, Love is All You Need.

The concert’s title comes from the lyrics of one of The Beatles’ most popular songs and will feature an orchestral tribute to the Fab Four encompassing the range of their unmatched musical legacy.

“I’ve done this Beatles tribute before, and it’s great,” said Yaniv Segal, conductor and music director of the Salina Symphony. “It includes both well-known and less known Beatles songs. It follows the scope of their music, which I think is timeless and generation-less.”

The Salina Symphony’s All You Need is Love concert will begin at 4 p.m. March 5 at the Stiefel Theatre for the Performing Arts, 151 S. Santa Fe Avenue.

Guest performer will be Samantha Rose Williams, a Philadelphia-based mezzo-soprano and crossover singer who has performed in numerous operas and such classic musicals as My Fair Lady and Sweeney Todd.

Williams will perform several Broadway-based romantic ballads during the concert, including I Could Have Danced All Night from My Fair Lady, I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables, Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,&nbsp; from Evita and&nbsp; On the Steps of the Palace from&nbsp; Into the Woods.

“(Williams) is a wonderful singer joining us,” Segal said. “She has such a great stage presence and can sing both Broadway and opera.”

Orchestral selections performed by the Salina Symphony, in addition to The Beatles tribute, will be a mixture of timeless romantic classical works and contemporary romantic symphonic movie scores.

Selections will include the overture from the Disney animated classic Beauty and the Beast, Claire de lune by Debussy, L’amour est un oiseau from Carmen by Bizet, the waltz from Sleeping Beauty&nbsp;by Tchaikovsky and Across the Stars, the love theme from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones by John Williams.

“Somewhere you’ve heard a lot of this music, whether it’s in movies or commercials,” Segal said. “In this concert, I’m trying to blur the lines between what's considered pop and light classical.

The concert will end with Love is All You Need, the Beatles tribute arranged and orchestrated by Bruce Healey.

“The Beatles laid it down - it’s just incredible what they accomplished,” Segal said. “Everyone knows their music, so if people want to sing along with it, I’ll be more than happy.”

Segal will host a pre-concert talk beginning at 3 p.m. March 5 in the Stiefel Theatre’s Watson Room. Doors will open at 2:30 p.m. Those attending are instructed to enter through the main theater doors.

Samantha Rose Williams earned a bachelor’s degree at Stanford University and a master's degree in music in voice performance at the University of Michigan. In addition to performing on opera and musical stages throughout the U.S., Williams is manager of institutional giving for Opera Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.

Williams said she was invited by Segal to sing with the Salina Symphony after a previous collaboration at Ann Arbor, Mich., was canceled in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic.

“We had done all of our rehearsals just before everything shut down,” she said. “Then he sent an email asking what I was doing this year and said he would be honored if I would do this concert with him.”

Segal said that after their first concert was canceled, he wanted to work with Williams again if given the opportunity.

“Some tunes I had suggested she do, but I also asked what she would like to sing,” he said.

During her visit to Salina, Williams plans to visit Southeast of Saline High School and Kansas Wesleyan University to perform selections from her most recent artistic project American Patriots, a staged song cycle that seeks to examine patriotism from three different American perspectives: African American, Native American and white working class American.

“It’s a newly commissioned work that encourages people to think about American patriotism,” she said.

Williams said she is excited about performing with the Salina Symphony.

“Singing in front of an orchestra is what it’s all about, using every centimeter of your body to make sure you project over all those instruments,” she said.

Segal said he didn’t want to limit himself to one genre of music when putting together what he called a “pops crossover” concert.

“It’s meant to be a lighter concert, and now is a good time for that,” he said. “It’s just an afternoon of great music that just happens to be about love.”

Tickets for the Salina Symphony Love is All You Need concert start at $29. Tickets may be purchased at the Stiefel Theatre box office, by calling 785-827-1998 or online at <a href="http://www.salinasymphony.org">www.salinasymphony.org</a>.

The concert is sponsored by Bank of Tescott, Heritage Real Estate Advisors and Tom and Maggie Hemmer.

Salina Symphony pops crossover concert March 5

The Southeast of Saline wrestling team will be well represented at this year’s state meet, with three state-ranked Trojans preparing to hit the mat on Friday and Saturday.

Despite having one of the younger rosters in Class 3A, Southeast’s program took another step in the right direction this season, thanks in large part to a very talented freshman class, which accounts for two of the three Trojans wrestling at state.

“As a team, we brought home a trophy at a tournament for the first time in a long time,” SES head coach Chuck Schremmer said. “We had 11 kids out and it was impressive to see them work all the things we showed them throughout the season.”

At this year’s regional meet, Mac Chambers, Brody Chambers, and Killian Vaughan all finished runner-up, punching their tickets to state and earning an opportunity to bring home some hardware for Southeast.

While the possibility of a regional win was very much on the table for all three wrestlers, the trio has shifted their focus to larger goals ahead, with the biggest event of their careers coming up this weekend.

“I don’t know about unfinished business but I think these guys gained a lot of confidence from their regional experience,” Schremmer said. “They’ll treat it like that if they come up against the same kid but I don’t want them thinking too far ahead. It’s more important that they know that they can wrestle with anybody.”

With Friday’s action set to begin at 10:00, let’s take a look at all three Trojans who will be representing Southeast this weekend.

Wrestler: Mac Chambers Class: Senior Division: 175 State Rank: #4

A word from Coach Schremmer: “Mac had a very good football season as an all-state linebacker and I think that changed him mentally as well as physically. He has a mental toughness that he never had before and he’s a lot stronger too. He’s been great in the practice room helping the younger guys, and his ability to shoot takedowns has improved a ton from his first three years.”

Wrestler: Brody Chambers Class: Freshman Division: Heavyweight (285) State Rank: #6

A word from Coach Schremmer: “Brody is a hard-headed kid. He gets on the bottom and he just doesn’t get turned. He’s undersized for his weight class but he’s only been pinned one time and that was at regionals by the #1 kid in the state. He normally doesn’t take things too seriously but when he gets on the mat he flips a switch, he knows he has to in his division.”

Wrestler: Killian Vaughan Class: Freshman Division: 138 State Rank: #4

A word from Coach Schremmer: “Killian now has the mentality that he can go out and beat a top-three kid. He’s known Matthew Rodriguez and Mac for a long time and he has the same mentality as those two even as a freshman. He’s always willing to help someone out and I love that, especially with such a young and inexperienced team.”

Despite finishing runner-up at regionals, all three of these Trojans will be gunning for the gold this weekend, and expectations will be high in Hays.

“We have to win our first matches but if we get that taken care of I believe that all three of these guys will be on the podium by the end of the tournament,” Schremmer said.

This year’s state meet will be held on the campus of Fort Hays State University with Friday’s action beginning at 10:00 and Saturday’s finals beginning at 9:00.

Trojan trio to wrestle at state meet in Hays

The Southeast of Saline boy’s basketball team showed no signs of slowing down in their regular-season finale, and flexed their muscle on a league foe, dismantling Republic County 75-36 on senior night.

With this victory, the Trojans extend their win streak to nine games, and close out the season at 19-1, ranked as the #2 team in Class 3A.

Much like their first meeting with the Buffaloes, this one was over before it really had a chance to begin as Southeast took a 22-9 lead into the first quarter break and never looked back.

The unselfish brand of SES basketball was on full display in this game as a staggering 12 different Trojans notched their names in the scoring column, led by Nakari Morrical-Palmer (14), Daniel Kejr (13), and Eli Sawyers (10).

“For everybody else, I’m sure it’s entertaining to watch our guys get out on the run,” SES head coach Bryson Flax said. “We really are playing our best basketball when we play unselfishly. When the ball crosses the midline three times we’re extremely efficient and we have to continue playing for one another.”

In addition to the even scoring spread, Southeast dominated the game in transition forcing the Buffaloes into 21 turnovers while surrendering fewer than five as a team themselves.

“Our guys work hard day in and day out and it was good for them to come out, compete and have a little fun doing it,” Flax said. “All of our guys showed good effort and when they get their opportunities they find ways to get the job done.”

Now, the Trojans will turn their attention to the sub-state tournament where their first task will be dispatching 10-10 Phillipsburg, in the only bracket to feature zero teams with losing records.

“We’ll give the guys tomorrow off and then compete really hard into the weekend, get some shots up on Sunday, prepare on Monday, and see what we’re all about on Tuesday,” he said.

Trojans take down Republic County, close out on nine-game winning streak

The Southeast of Saline girl’s basketball team closed out their regular season with a bang on Tuesday, knocking off Republic County 59-23 to secure a share of a third-straight league title.

With this win, the Lady Trojans conclude their campaign at 17-3 and will enter sub-state as the two-seed, ranked as the #8 team in Class 3A while the Lady Buffs wrap up their season at 0-20.

Despite not having played in over a week, Southeast wasted no time jumping on the Buffaloes, and led the way 20-5 at the end of the first quarter.

“We knew we needed to get out and play today because we weren’t going to play again for six days and we don’t want to be flat,” SES head coach Shayna Smith said. “I thought we put the foot on the gas pedal and aside from one small lapse we did what we needed to do to get the job done.”

Aside from a small slip against Ellsworth, the Lady Trojans saved their best basketball for last, scoring 50 or more in four of their last five games, while holding those opponents under 40.

That offensive efficiency was on full display again in the season finale as eight different scorers notched at least a point, led by Reagan Goetz (15), Brielle Ptacek (15), and Avery Caselman (11).

Defensively, SES looked just as good, forcing 28 turnovers while surrendering just nine themselves, and scoring at will in transition.

Now, with the regular season in the rearview, Southeast will begin preparing for their playoff push, with sub-state looming less than a week in the distance.

“We’ve already started working on things for sub-state,” Smith said. “We’ve gone through our sets and plays and we’ve done things to make us more crisp at those things. We know defensively that we’re where we need to be but offensively there are still some things that we need to do better.”

The first test for the Lady Trojans will be a third matchup with Beloit in a bonus round of the Trojan War, with the winner advancing to the sub-state semis to face either Hoisington or Smoky Valley.

Final KBCA girl's basketball rankings

With just one game to go in the regular season, the Southeast of Saline boys’ basketball team will host Republic County, looking to extend their winning streak to nine ahead of sub-state next week.

The Trojans come into this contest at a pristine 18-1, having already secured a second straight league title while the Buffs enter at 3-16.

There’s little doubt that Southeast has been playing their best basketball down the stretch, winning seven of their last eight games by double digits.

“From a maturity standpoint, I’m confident that if we need a stop somebody will make sure we get a stop,” SES head coach Bryson Flax said. “If we need a bucket I know we’ll get the ball into the right spot to give us a chance. I really like how these guys play for one another and that’s been a big key to our success.”

The first time these two met back in early January, the Trojans made a statement on the road, bashing the Buffs in a 52-point win, their largest margin of the season.

“We ran a lot of sets against Republic County the first time we played them,” Flax said. “My hope is that we don’t have to run that many sets and that we can just go in this one. The kids know that on paper we’re by far the better team, we just have to come in and take care of business.”

With this being the only game in a two-week window leading up to the sub-state tournament, the Trojans will shift their focus exclusively within as they look to continue peaking ahead of postseason play.

“This game doesn’t really matter because we’ve already locked down a league title and the #1 seed at sub-state,” he said. “This is more about not taking steps backward no matter the day. Our opponent doesn’t matter, we just have to keep moving forward.”

While Republic County has struggled mightily this season, scoring just 36 points per game while allowing 54 on average, the Trojans will still need to lock in in order to continue pushing their peak ahead of the most important week of the season.

“This is a team that has nothing to lose and they want to be playing good ball right now so you never know what they might throw at you,” Flax said. “We need to continue to be efficient and we haven’t played in a while but good teams show up every day regardless of that so we have to make sure we dictate the pace and control the game.”

Tip-off between the Trojans and Buffaloes is set for 7:30 at Southeast of Saline High School following the girls’ game at 6:00.

Both contests can be heard on KINA (910 AM or 107.5 FM) or streamed live on the Salina Post.
