Mustangs look to rebuild after magical run Iola High’s Mustang baseball team put forth a season for the ages in 2013, winning its first 20 games and coming up two runs shy of a state championship.

Not bad for what many considered a rebuilding season.

“We’d lost some good players from the year before, but for the most part, I figured we’d be pretty good,” Mustang head coach Mark Percy said. “There were only a few places in the lineup I had questions.”

The questions are more plentiful as the 2014 Mustangs prepare to take the field this week.

Not only does Iola return only three starters from last season, preseason practices have been minimal because of Iola’s state basketball tournament run and a weeklong spring break.

“We’ve got some kids who haven’t been on the practice field before this week,” Percy noted. “We’re going to be Iola Mustangs 2014 Baseball Schedule March 31 — Anderson Co. (JV) April 1 — Anderson Co.

pretty young at a lot of positions.”

The three returnees should provide a solid foundation.

Seniors Trent Latta and Derrick Weir both earned allstate honors for their work.

Latta batted .467 with 30 runs and 19 RBIs, while stealing 22 bases in 23 attempts. On the mound, he went 7-1 with a 3.00 ERA. Latta struck out 52 in 44 innings, while allowing just 43 hits.

As the team’s catcher, Weir racked up a .441 batting average with two home runs and a team-leading 27 RBIs. He struck out only once all season in 84 at bats.

Faulhaber was among the newcomers to last year’s team who shined, particularly on defense. He was the Mustang starting second baseman. He compiled a .225 batting average, and a .392 on-base percentage. He also was successful on all five stolen base attempts.

In five mound appearances, Faulhaber was 1-0 with a 2.90 ERA. He struck out sev-

en in 9 2/3 innings.

Weir will join Latta and Faulhaber as Iola’s front-line pitchers, Percy said.

While not pitching, Latta will play shortstop. Faulhaber will be at second or at short when necessary.

“We know what Trent can do,” Percy said. “We’ve got to get the rust off his arm. He’s thrown a little on the side, but he’s not in game shape yet. We’ll take it slow.”

As for the rest of the roster, “we’re still making decisions,” Percy said. “We’re going to suit up quite a few kids in our early varsity and junior varsity games to see

what they can do. There is playing time available for everybody. It’s a matter of who claims it. It doesn’t matter if you’re a senior or a freshman.”

Junior Kohl Endicott saw limited action last year, appearing in only one game but did not get an at bat.

“He’s played junior varsity a couple of years, and will be asked to contribute this year,” Percy said.

In brief practice time, freshman Ben Cooper has shown some diamond savvy, as has freshman Ethan Scheibmeir. Caleb Alexander, sophomore, has seen practice time at second base.

Senior Trey Wilson has played some in the past and is most comfortable at second and third bases. Brett Taylor has seen time in the outfield, while junior Wyatt Hines will suit up at catcher when Weir is on the mound.

He also will pitch for Iola’s JV squad this season.

Thealvin Minor, junior, has pitched and played first base for Iola’s JV. Ethan Sigg, sophomore, has played first and third bases. Brice Aiello, sophomore, Garrett Wade, freshman, Brock Peters, junior, and Joel Zimmerman, freshman, all will contend for playing time at both varsity and JV levels. Percy described Jake Gumfory as a good athlete, “but he hasn’t played in a while.”

With individual title in hand, team seeks new heights

Iola High’s Kaden Macha etched his name in school annals as the first ever individual state golf champion, winning the Class 4A title as a sophomore.

His title, plus the experience his teammates gained at the state meet, will be invaluable this season, head coach Doug Kerr said.

The Mustang golfers hit the links competitively Thursday at Independence.

“As a team, we played pretty well all season, but we could’ve done better at the end,” Kerr said. “Kaden winning last year really squashed the stigma that only players from private schools or golf academies can win a state title.”

The Mustangs have only one senior on their roster, so the experience and insight should go beyond this year, Kerr noted, although the time to act is now.

Leading the way, obviously, is Macha, whose shotmaking is matched only by his mental approach.

“That’s the thing with Kaden,” Kerr said. “He never gets rattled by what’s going on around him. He never really goes on hot runs, but he also never really has any cold stretches.”

His consistency paid off at state, when Macha and his teammates saw their practice round at Cheney’s Cherry Oaks Golf Course cut short because of nearby tornadic storms.

While others, including some of his teammates, struggled when the competition began, Macha shot an even par 72 to earn a spot in a three-way playoff. He parred his first hole, while his two foes both had bogies, giving Macha the title.

“Kaden is best described as a ‘grinder,’” Kerr said.

Kaden Macha

“He just keeps on doing what works.”

Macha, who’s also the twotime defending regional golf champion, is fully recovered from an extended illness that interrupted his basketball season for the Mustangs in January and February.

Teammate Shane Walden also is expected to be fully recovered from an offseason shoulder surgery. He has been cleared to resume practice the first week of April.

Like Macha, Walden is a junior.

“Shane is probably our best shot-maker,” Kerr said.

“He’s so creative with how he sets up shots. He’s liable to get hot and shoot a 34 or 35 on the front. His key is staying consistent. Another year of maturity will continue to do wonders for his game.”

Likewise, junior Drake Dieker should see improvement.

“Drake has really worked hard in the offseason on his

“They went from ‘Yay, I’m on the team’ to a couple of competitors who showed they really wanted to do well on the course. I’d say they’re the ones capable of showing the most improvement on the squad.”

It’s too soon to tell where Iola will compete at regionals.

“Last year we had to go to regionals at El Dorado

conditioning,” Kerr said.

“He’s been lifting a lot of weights, which should help with his strength at the end of the season.”

As Iola’s strongest golfer, Dieker is capable of hitting long irons as far as some can hit with a driver, Kerr noted.

“That’s a tremendous advantage,” he said.

As the team’s only senior, Weston Hines also can be best described as the Mustangs’ “wild card.”

“When he’s on his game, Weston is capable of contending for a state title,” Kerr said. “He’s that good.

But he also needs to work on his consistency to contain his bad holes.”

And while they’re not as highly decorated as the Mustangs’ front four, juniors Adam Peterson and Matt Jacobs will be pivotal for potential team trophies.

“I think the light went on for both of them at the end of last year,” Kerr said.

Mustang athletes must hit ground running this season

Iola High’s boys have a number of athletes capable of earning points at just about any track meet they enter.

Problem is, that number is rather small.

“All of our seniors can score at the varsity level,” IHS track coach Marvin Smith said. “We will have a good competitor in 13 of the 18 events, but we do not have depth in any.”

With only two weeks of practices before spring break — most of which had multiple athletes still playing basketball — the Mustangs have had precious little opportunity to get much work in before their first meet of the season Friday at Labette County.

“All I know is we’ll be woefully unprepared,” Smith said. “We have worked around basketball, wrestling, cheerleading tryouts and even a dance recital."

Iola returns eight letter-

men from a squad of 21, a small number for Iola, but one that was expected because of small incoming classes.

Iola does have eight seniors to lead the way.

Tyler Powelson is the defending Pioneer League and Class 4A regional champion in the 1600-meter run.

He took seventh at the state track meet. Powelson also qualified for state in the 3200 meters, but he will not run that distance this season.

“Tyler also scores well in the 800, and will be a mainstay on this year’s 4x400-relay,” Smith said.

Iola’s Adam Kauth missed out on a potential trip to the state meet when he was disqualified at the start of the 110-meter hurdles.

“Adam has been a top hurdler in southeast Kansas, even as a freshman,” Smith noted.

Senior Michael Wilson was a league champion pole

vaulter as a sophomore, but found the road much tougher with Iola’s transition to the Pioneer League last season.

That’s because he found himself pitted against some of the best vaulters in the state.

Still, he was the top underclassman in the pole vault at the regional meet last year.

Jeremy Spears was a silver medalist in the 3200-meter run, and was on a “patched together” 4x800-meter relay team at the league meet. Illness during regionals cost him a potential state appearance.

Fillies take aim at state berths, school records

Abigail Taylor

Iola High’s Fillies sport a large number of throwers on its 2014 track and field roster, but not many returning runners.

Leading the Fillies this season are junior Emery Driskel, who qualified for the state track meet in the 100- and 300-meter relays last season, and Abigail Taylor, Iola’s defending Pioneer League champion in the 800- and 1600-meter runs and runner-up in the 3200 meters.

“Unfortunately, southeast Kansas is loaded with excellent distance runners, and Abigail was one spot away from a state-qualifying mark,” Smith said.

Taylor continued her success through the cross country season as a sophomore,

but a knee injury prevented her from running at regionals.

She has since fully recovered and is expected to have an immediate impact once again this season.

Driskel also has high hopes, Smith said.

“Emery placed behind the state champion (a senior) in both of her hurdles races last year, but still qualified for state in both races,” Smith said. “She also was a top runner in both the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. We expect her to make an immediate impact in her specialty races and challenge the high school hurdle records currently held by recent stand-

out, Kendra Taiclet.”

Unfortunately, that’s about it for returning experience for runners.

Ashley Campbell, defending league champion in the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes and the high jump, declined to go out for track this season as a junior.

“That takes away a big point total,” Smith said.

Iola has several skilled throwers returning this year.

Senior Darci Collins took the silver at the Pioneer League meet in the shot put last season, while Jessica Oakley, a sophomore, took the silver in the discus throw.

Senior leadership key for Fillies return to top Iola High’s softball team has experience at just the right spot — the pitching rubber — in 2014.

And while the Fillies aren’t as experienced at other positions, versatility and flexibility will be key in the team’s success.

Iola loses five seniors off its 4-16 squad from last season with three seniors and other underclassmen who are expected to lead the way this spring.

With seniors Hannah Endicott and Mackenzie Weseloh handling the pitching duties, the Fillies have a key strength, said head coach Vince Coons, entering his 10th year at the helm.

“Any time you have two senior pitchers, you expect to be competitive,” he said.

Both bring different talents to the pitching circle.

Weseloh offers a wide assortment of pitches, “and she’s got good control,” Coons said. “She can move the ball around, she has a nice changeup and her ball drops quite a bit. Hannah is a bit wilder, but she also has more speed on her pitches.

She’s getting better with her changeup and drop ball as well.”

They’re joined on the roster by one other senior, Halie Cleaver.

Cleaver’s strength is her versatility.

“That’s our key word this season,” Coons said. “We have several girls who can play different positions.”

Cleaver can line up at catcher, in the infield or in the outfield, Coons noted.

“That’s a good dilemma to have players who are so good at playing multiple positions,” he noted. “Halie really gives us a lot of options.”

When not pitching, Endicott will play shortstop. We-

While it’s unusual for lefthanders to play on the left side of the infield — they have to reposition their feet to throw across their bodies to first base — Reno has shown in the past she’s more than capable of holding her own defensively.

Reno is the Fillies’ sole returning all-Pioneer League player after batting .458 clip over 48 at bats. She led the Fillies in hits (22), runs (15), RBIs (16) and triples (3). She also connected on one of Io-

Meanwhile, sophomore Ashlie Shields could see herself either at short, second or at catcher when the need arises.

“Ashlie has looked good over the summer at catcher,” he said.

Coons has plenty of options for the rest of the lineup.

Shields and Riley Murry will get looks at first base. Heslop is a left-hander, ideal for playing on the right side of the infield. Shields has some experience in a supporting role from last season, while Murry, a freshman, has played first base on youth traveling squads.

Junior Shelby Reno, another southpaw, gets the nod at third base.

Youngsters bring bright future for Iola High tennis team Iola High’s tennis team features a nice blend of experience and talent, incoming head coach Joe Turner said.

The Mustangs will count on underclassmen as their number 1 and number 2 singles players, Turner said, with sophomore Tyler Heinrich and freshman Isaiah Fawson.

“That’s what has me so excited,” said Turner. Despite their youth, both have already played plenty of tennis.

“Tyler’s our go-to guy because he’s already had all kinds of experience at meets,” Turner said. “He has a good all-around game and good knowledge of the sport.

His experience at this age is priceless. He’s done a great job of working with our freshmen, telling them what to expect.”

Likewise, Fawson’s allaround game is worthy of praise, Turner said.

“He’s got good height and a great serve,” Turner said.

“He’s steady on the court and attacks well. He should succeed quickly.”

Senior Bryan Mueller and sophomore Colby Works have a year of doubles tennis under their belts and will team up again. The pair picked up the only match victory for the Mustangs at the

Colby Works

Class 4A regional tournament last spring and should thrive as the squad’s top doubles pair, Turner said.

“They work well together and have great teamwork,” Turner said.

Like Heinrich, Works has a good grasp of the game’s intricacies and is willing to work with his teammates between matches.

Filling the other doubles team is senior Levi Banker and freshman Rhett Allen, both of whom have shown some solid stroke play, yet still have room for improvement.

“There’s a synchronization to it,” Turner said.

“They still have to learn positioning and maneuvers. It’s a matter of time and getting experience together.”

Junior Mason Key, who played doubles last year but lost his partner, Steven McDonald, to graduation also is expected to see varsity action.

“I’m really looking forward to Mason getting a spot on one of those doubles teams,” Turner said. “He’s got talent.”

Junior Tyler Holloway, sophomores Connor Farrell, Ankit Gandhi and Toby Norton and freshman Kendall Jay will look to get experience at the JV level, Turner said.

This season has been a learning experience both for the players and for Turner, who has never coached tennis before this season.

“But I’ve been a quick learner, and the kids have been great to work with,” he said. “They’ve really done well with their conditioning, so they should be in good shape for the season.”

Cubs eye third straight state berth HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High, fresh off two straight trips to the Class 3A state baseball tournament, has some unfinished business.

“We’re not happy with how our season ended last year,” Cub head coach Mike Miller said. “One of our goals this year is for another regional championship and a chance to get back to state.”

Humboldt loses only one senior, albeit a key player, from last year’s 15-3 squad that was eliminated in the first round of the state playoffs to Salina-Sacred Heart.

Humboldt will be without Nathan Whitcomb, who took his baseball talents to Neosho Community College.

“We’ve got some big shoes to fill in replacing our number one pitcher and a key bat in our lineup,” Miller said.

But there are plenty of candidates to do just that.

Senior Grayson Pearish

Jacob Carpenter

should fill the role as the Cub ace nicely. All he did was go 8-0 with a 0.73 ERA as a sophomore before arm troubles derailed his 2013 campaign.

Still, he returned to the mound before year’s end in 2013 and went 4-2 with a 2.73 ERA. He also was tapped as the starter in Humboldt’s state playoff opener.

He was even better at the plate last season, batting .489 (23 of 47) with 26 RBIs, including three triples and four doubles. He batted .621 with runners in scoring position.

Meanwhile, Jacob Carpenter enters his junior season with high hopes as Humboldt’s starting first baseman.

Carpenter batted .537 (29 of 54) with 10 doubles, 29 runs and 31 RBIs in 18 games, leading Humboldt in each category. He also was successful in 20 of 21 stolen

Sellman leads way on links HUMBOLDT — With only seven golfers on Humboldt High’s golf team, it’d be easy to overlook the Cubs on the links this spring.

And foolhardy.

With junior Robbie Sellman leading the way, Humboldt head coach Jeff Wilkerson is confident the Cubs can make hay this season.

Sellman is a two-time state tournament qualifier primed and ready for his third goaround.

Teammates Tanner Porter and Conner Roseberry will provide leadership for a group of newcomers, freshmen Colton Riebel, Logan Wood, Austin Sigler and Ryan Huse.

“I look forward to anoth-

base attempts.

Shortstop Hunter Murrow resumes his place at the top of the batting order, where he hit .429 as a junior with seven doubles. He also stole 13 bases in 14 attempts.

All three earned all-TriValley League honors last season and will be counted on to lead the way this year.

The Cubs also feature a number of solid supporting performers.

Seniors Alex Murrow and Austin Beeman will both see time on the mound or in the infield. Beeman went 2-0 with a 4.79 ERA in 14 innings in 2013. Alex Murrow pitched 9 1/3 innings last season, going 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA. Senior Caleb Vanatta hit .360 last season, while Kason Siemens hit a robust .375 for the Cubs.

The Cubs will get to play baseball for the first time at USD 258’s new sports complex on the east edge of Humboldt.

Miller expects a number of suitors for the Cubs’ TriValley League crown, most notably Burlington and Cherryvale.

“They both have been pretty young,” Miller said.

“They’ll both be pretty good this season.”

The Cubs open the 2014 season Tuesday in Neodesha.

Lady Cubs on quite a roll these days

HUMBOLDT — Humboldt High has rightly developed a reputation as one of the premier softball programs in southeast Kansas.

The Lady Cubs’ 2013 squad racked up a 15-3 record, won the Class 3A regional championship and qualified for the state tournament.

Humboldt returns the bulk of its roster in 2014 and has head coach Brad Piley eager to begin the season.

Junior Breanna Kline earned second-team all-state honors as a shortstop last season, where she batted a whopping .500 (30 of 60) with 26 runs in 18 hits. She rapped out 19 doubles and three triples, with 15 RBIs in 18 games. She stole 24 bases and registered a .719 slugging percentage.

Sophomore Courtney Richey starred in the pitching circle and at the plate for Humboldt. She also earned

all-state, second team honors in 3A. As a pitcher, she went 10-2 with a 1.03 earned-run average. In 70 innings, she struck out 124 batters, while allowing 14 runs, only eight of which were earned. She pitched five shutouts, including two no-hitters and four one-hitters. Richey also had more wins than walks (eight).

Richey hit at a .574 clip, 35 of 61, with five home runs and 28 RBIs. She swiped 22 stolen bases and held an onbase percentage of .635. Her slugging percentage was greater than 1.000.

Senior first baseman Kayle Riebel and junior second baseman Brook Turner in the fold were named along with Kline and Riebel to the all-Pioneer League team.

They’ll be joined by senior Haley Riebel, senior catcher Morgan Morris, junior pitcher Jaci Ross, junior

outfielder Delaney Umholtz, sophomore outfielder Hannah Hulett and junior Kasey Beeman.

A newcomer to the team this year is junior Mallory Roush. “She will make an impact for us this year,” Piley said. “I am very excited about this year’s team.”

Humboldt travels to Neodesha Tuesday.

Humboldt thinclads stay on fast track

Ethan Bartlett

HUMBOLDT — While losing one of the most decorated classes in school history, Humboldt High’s track and field team isn’t much interested in looking back.

They’re too busy lining up for their next race.

The Cubs return several key performers, while adding what head coach Eric Carlson calls one of the most talented freshman classes he’s ever coached.

“We have a good group of returning athletes,” Carlson said. “We lost a great group of talented kids from last year, and we can’t replace them, but the kids we have this year will be able to fill some of the holes.”

Humboldt returns 13 letter winners from 2013.

Among the key returnees are junior Ethan Bartlett, a state qualifier in the 400-meter dash and one of the members of Humboldt’s state champion 4x800-meter relay team. Bartlett lost his three relay teammates to graduation, including four-time state champion Tanner McNutt, but should provide plenty of leadership this season.

Meanwhile, sophomore Bryce Isaac qualified for state in the triple jump as a freshman. On the girls’ side, senior Sheri Middleton also was a state qualifier in the 400.

“This has been one of the hardest working groups I have ever coached,” Carlson said.

Meanwhile, his talented

crop of freshmen may struggle early in the season as they adjust to high school competition, “but I expect them to contribute significantly by midseason,” Carlson said.

The track team opens the 2014 season Friday at Central Heights.

Cats ready to play ball State competitors return MORAN — If Marmaton Valley High hopes to replicate the baseball success of a season ago — a 6-3 record — the Wildcats must receive contributions from its younger players, head coach Derek Scharff said.

“We will be very young this year,” Scharff said.

Seniors Sage Hall, a catcher, and Chris Bowman, who manned several positions in both the infield and outfield, have played three years for the Wildcats “and know what is expected of them,” Scharff said.

“They both work hard and set a good example for our younger players.”

Bowman manned several positions in the infield and outfield in 2013.

Sophomore Keagan Boyd will play center field and pitch.

Sophomore Gage Adams will pitch and play first base.

“Keagan and Gage will be the leaders in the years to come,” Scharff said.

“This is only their second year, but we expect a lot out of these guys in practice and games. They both work hard and do everything we ask them to do.”

Non-starters and other newcomers for 2014 are sophomore infielder and catcher Jake Kress, sophomore outfielder Dane Myers, sophomore pitcher and outfielder Greg Neria, sophomore pitcher and infielder Michael Beggs, sophomore pitcher and infielder Colton Alexander, freshman infielder Steven Lieberman, freshman outfielder Tony Jefferis and freshman infielder Jake Kale will compete for playing time as well.

“I am not sure what to expect out of most of these newcomers, but they will play a lot,” Scharff said.

“Jake is the only one on

this list who played last year, and we expect him to do a lot of catching. The rest are playing for the first time and will be thrown right into the mix.

“We lost a pretty good senior class last year, and there are a few positions that need to be filled,” he continued. “It should be a fun few weeks of practice until games start.”

MORAN — Marmaton Valley High’s track team features two performers who qualified for the state track meet in 2013.

Garrett Booth and Chance Stevenson were part of the Wildcats 4x100meter relay team that earned a berth at the state meet in Wichita.

“We are looking to them to provide leadership for our younger participants,” first-year head coach Russell Plaschka said.

Another senior, Ashtynn Louk, has excelled at distance running events in the past.

“We expect a good, strong showing for her this year,” Plaschka said.

Joining those returning stalwarts is a potent, and speedy, group of newcomers.

“We have a great group of freshmen who should contribute right away to our sprinting relays,” he said.

Wildcat softball squad working hard MORAN — Darlene Stewart, first-year head softball coach at Marmaton Valley High, has a few ambitious expectations, but ones she thinks the Wildcats can meet.

“I expect our players to hustle with lots of desire and intensity,” she said. “I expect them to constantly improve through hard work. That will lead to success.”

The Wildcats return five starters from 2013.

Seniors Kaitlin Ensminger and Jocelyn Miller have taken the mantle of

team leaders with their work ethic and willingness to work with others, Stewart said.

Likewise, juniors Emily Boyd and Shauna Knight were key performers last season, along with sophomore spark plug Ashlynn Pinkerton.

They’ll be joined by newcomers young and old.

Senior Hanna Hoffman is new to the Wildcat team this year, as is sophomore Tanna Lutz and freshmen Jesse Gardner, Nalea Alexander and Brooklyn Newman.

Wildcat golfers tee off on busy 2014 season MORAN — Short on numbers, but long on experience, Marmaton Valley High’s golf team will tee off the 2014 season at Erie.

The Wildcats have only four golfers on the roster this season, but all four have returning varsity experience, head coach Mike McEwan said.

Leading the charge is junior Mitch Covey, who missed a state berth by three strokes at last year’s Class 1A regionals.

“I look for him to really come on this year,” McEwan said.

Mike Swift-Plaschka, Joe Jefferis and Lane Hamm all are seniors who should peak this year as well, McEwan said.

“We have a small group, but they have great work habits," McEwan said. "We plan for them to have a great year.”

Rene Rodriguez

CHS track COLONY — With only 10 athletes on its roster, Crest High’s track team still has some talent.

Leading the way is junior Rene Rodriguez, a state qualifier last season in the 100-meter dash and in 2012 as a cross country runner.

He’s joined by Krystal Cooper, Codi Vermillion, Trevor Freelove, Kayden Strickler, Evan Godderz, Kyle Riblett, Oscar Madrid, Laurel Godderz, Taryn Covey and Shelby Ramsey.

primed to be one of the top jumpers in the league, but was derailed because of an early hamstring injury.

Couple that with other injuries and illnesses, “and we became very common in a hurry,” Smith said.

But McIntosh is fully recovered and ready to compete in the long jump and triple jump.

“Our jumps are in capable hands with Wilson in the vault, Kauth in the high jump and McIntosh,” Smith said. “Those three will be on the 4x100 relay if we come up with another sprinter.”

Jacob Cooper filled in on the 4x800 relay team because of an injury “then proceeded to hold that spot the rest of the season,” Smith said.

Brian Hu is an exchange

student. “Even with our limited practices, it’s apparent he will run on at least two of our varsity relays,” Smith said.

Juniors Travis Hermstein and Jonathan Tidd also will work on the 4x800 team. Hermstein also is a vaulter. Tidd also will run shorter relays.

Two freshmen also will figure prominently on the relay teams. Braden Plumlee, who holds the Iola Middle School record in the 1600, will be counted on in every distance from the 400-meter dash to the 3200, Smith said.

He and his classmate, Chase Regehr, were only steps apart as competitors in several middle distance relays last season.

“This year, they’ll team up on relays,” Smith said.

Regehr also should compete in the javelin.

throw. They’ll be joined by incoming freshman Della Lohman, who has thrived in all three throwing disciplines — shot put, discus and javelin.

“Della may even join the 4x100 relay as well,” Smith said.

As a freshman, Cassie Delich finished just behind Driskel in both hurdles distances. Senior Alexis Hobbs (javelin) and sophomore Valeree Burtnett (pole vault) also scored points at the league meet last season.

Shannon Vogel, a senior, and Mikaela Platt, sophomore, were on Iola’s 4x800 relay team last season.

They’ll be joined by junior Jo Lohman, who returns to the track team after missing her sophomore season.

Platt was a newcomer last year, joining several weeks into the season.

By season’s end, she earned spots on the 4x100, 4x400 and 4x800 relay teams.

Freshman Megan Klubek will look to build on her successful cross country campaign, in which she earned all-league honors.

In addition to her distance races, she may join the 4x800 squad.

“Our girls will score several points in each meet, but not having all of the relay personnel we need will cut into our overall finish,” Smith said. “We just need several nice, warm practice sessions to see some improvement.”

The Fillies open the track season Friday at Labette County.

Meanwhile, the Mustangs have three freshmen who should earn marks as throwers.

“Coach (Pat) Lonergan is very high on those freshman throwers — Tavon Blazek, R.J. Holding and Trea Williams — but the high school implements are heavier and larger than they used last year. There will be some adjustments.”

Freshmen Darius Greenawalt and Gage Cleaver will compete in jumping events and will run on relays.

Smith sees several candidates to fill spots on the 4x400 relay, “and our 4x800 could be very good,” Smith said, “but I will wait for the first meet to see. Every coach says this, but we have to avoid injuries

and illnesses.”

With the low numbers, Iola’s junior varsity numbers will be “practically nonexistent,” Smith said.

Smith predicts Osawatomie as the team to beat in the Pioneer League standings.

The Trojans finished second in 2013 in what was supposed to be a rebuilding season, but with a large dose of talented freshmen, their hopes are sky high.

Wellsville also has a strong returning core.

Iola’s team success may hinge on its relays, Smith said.

“We scored 80 points on our patched up relays last year,” he said. “That’s why it’s so important to stay healthy at the end of the season.”

Fillies: IHS aims high Continued from Page 8

pitching. She’ll probably be the frontline junior varsity starter capable of filling in if either Endicott or Weseloh need a spell.

Juniors Shelby Smith and Torrie Lewis will vie for playing time with sophomores Micaiah Larney and Emily McKarnin in the outfield.

“Shelby and Torrie are good athletes, but with softball, there is a specialized skill for catching and fielding or throwing and running,” Coons said.

With a roster of 19 — slightly more than last year’s 17 — Coons still is light on overall numbers. Ideally, he’d have 20 or more, in order to field separate varsity and junior varsity teams.

Unlike baseball, Pioneer League softball teams play varsity and JV games simultaneously.

“It may be a challenge, because we can only play these girls in 20 games for the regular season,” Coons said.

“We’ll really have to watch where and how we use our players.”

Coons predicts a competitive season in the Pioneer League.

“The strongest team traditionally has been Prairie View,” he said. “Wellsville is kind of in the same boat we are. They have two seniors who are excellent pitchers. A lot of how these teams will do boils down to their pitching.

“As for us, I think we’ll get better as the season progresses, particularly if our younger players step up,” he continued. “We should be competitive with everybody we play.

I’m looking forward to it.”

After playing Thursday, the Fillies will host Anderson County on Tuesday to begin Pioneer League play.

Thinclads have high hopes Wildcats eye bright future YATES CENTER — Dan Berg isn’t exactly going on a ledge when he hopes for big things from his Yates Center High track team.

Nearly all of the returnees qualified for the state track meet in 2013, with a prominent newcomer added to the mix.

Austin McNett, sprinter and javelin, Caleb DeNoon, sprinter and long jump, Myles Dice, middle distance, Bryce Leon, sprints, Drake Busteed, distance running, and Tyler Keenan, long jump and sprints, all were state qualifiers on the boys' side.

The newcomer is junior Kal Hamm, who earned a state medal in the high jump in 2013 at Marais des Cygnes Valley.

As for the girls, state qualifiers Mindi Holloway, sprints and middle distance and long jump, Riley Albert, sprints and triple jump, Katelyn Hatch, sprints, Ashley Pringle, sprints, and Makayla Jones, shot put and discus, all should continue to improve this season.

Mindi Holloway “We expect to do well this year and are working hard to be where we expect to be in May,” Berg said. “We sent 13 athletes to state last year and hope to do better this season.”

Yates Center opens Tuesday at Altoona-Midway.

YATES CENTER — Even with low numbers — only 12 players on the roster — and coming off a one-win season, Yates Center High baseball coach Tim Jones has high hopes for his Wildcat squad in 2014.

“The biggest competition we have to be successful this season is ourselves,” Jones said.

That’s because Yates Center will still return several key performers from last year’s squad.

Nine of the 12 suited up for Yates Center last year and gained valuable experience on the diamond.

Among the key performers are pitchers, senior Robert Arnold and sophomore Drey Estes.

“Robert uses his fastball well and has good speed,” Jones said. “Drey, a left hander, also has a good fastball.”

Either will play first base while the other pitches.

“We need a good first baseman to receive the ball in order to cut down on throwing errors,” Jones said. “That’s going to be a

key. We struggled with our fielding last season.”

Dalton Sicka, senior, will play shortstop for the Wildcats and bat leadoff, while Dalton McQuiston, senior, will man center field.

Junior Justin Rossillon will line up as the starting catcher.

The other positions, second base, third base and two outfield slots, still are to be determined, Jones said.

“There’s a lot of competition,” he said. “We haven’t had a lot of opportunities to scrimmage, so some of these positions are still up in the air.”

Enthusiasm abounds as softball begins at Yates Center YATES CENTER — Joe Arell isn’t much for making predictions, but he’s certain about one thing for the upcoming softball season — it’s going to be competitive.

“You know Humboldt is going to be good,” Arell said. “Burlington has some athletes, and Caney Valley has been good. We hope to be right there, too.”

The Wildcats return six starters from last year’s 13-4 team, including the team’s top pitcher, junior Aubrey Smith, catcher, junior, Shayna Karmann, shortstop,

senior Courtney Arell and third baseman, senior Chessa Chrisman.

Coach Arell said Smith has been a productive pitcher because of her control and speed.

“She’s been a good pitcher for several years,” he said.

“She really moves the ball around well. Having her on the mound has helped our younger players as well.”

Manning the outfield will be sophomores Jessica Rossillon and Sabrina Arell.

Courtney Arell, the coach’s daughter, will bat

leadoff.

“She’s good at getting on base, but she’s also good at hitting with power,” Coach Arell said, noting Courtney also led the Wildcats in home runs last season.

Smith will follow in the 2 or 3 hole in the lineup to set the tables for Chrisman.

“When Chessa hits it, you know it,” Coach Arell said.

“Our whole lineup can hit the ball. There really isn’t a weak spot.”

And while the present has Arell excited, there is plenty of talent in the Wildcat pipe-

line.

“We’ve got a good freshman class with great numbers,” he said. Several will be expected to challenge for immediate playing time.

“We enter each season with no spots guaranteed,” he said. “The players have to earn them.”

Yates Center opens the season Tuesday at Uniontown.

“Without a doubt, the players are excited about the upcoming season,” Arell said. “We’ll work hard and see how it goes.”

Schemper fine at YC YATES CENTER — Nick Schemper was primed for a blistering start to his round at the state sand greens golf tournament last May when an old nemesis reared its ugly head — putting struggles.

Schemper was putting on an early hole for an eagle — two under par on a single hole — when the troubles began.

“He wound up three-putting, turning that possible eagle into a five,” Yates Center golf coach Kevin Barnes said. “I gave him a hard time about it, but he’s working very hard to improve his putting this season.”

The three-time state qualifier returns with high hopes for his senior season.

“He’s so solid with everything else that if he controls his putting, he will have a special year,” Barnes said.

Schemper will be joined on the varsity roster by sophomore Eric Updegrove, who played primarily junior varsity competition in 2013.

Barnes’ son, Jon, is one of three freshmen on the golf team. He’s joined by classmates Remi Wagner and Jacob Stetina and junior Cheyenne Gill.

State medalists lead the way for Southern Coffey County LE ROY — A pair of right arms will shine brightly for Southern Coffey County High’s track and field teams this season.

With junior Walker Harred and senior Aaron True, the Titans feature two state medalists.

Harred took home fourth in discus at the state track meet in Wichita last May. True, a senior, took sixth in the javelin.

Harred also will look for

big things in the shot put, SCC head coach Jeff True said.

Southern Coffey County’s team features 18 boys and 12 girls.

Others expected to provide a boost this season are sophomore Hunter Pankey in the triple and long jumps and a number of runners.

Other key returnees for the SCC boys are juniors Brice Johnson, Josiah Witteman, Michael Hill, Bryson

Meats, Zach Roush, Cody Perry, John Worthy and Jordan Edwards and sophomores Tanner Garretson and Ross Gilbert.

Three Lady Titans will lead the way for the SCC girls: senior Chenae Newkirk in the 800-meter run, senior Breanna Isch in the shot put and junior Connie Lyda in the javelin.

Other key performers are junior Kaylie Garretson and sophomores Kalyn Deal, Am-

ber Emmons and Maycee Hegwald.

Coach True praised the efforts of his upperclassmen.

“Aaron, Breanna and Chenae will give us great leadership on and off the track,” Coach True said.

“They always provide a good example for the underclassmen.”

The Titan thinclads will be at Marais des Cygnes Valley on April 11 to open the 2014 season.

Walker Harred

The batting order also is in a state of flux.

Percy plans to bat Latta leadoff, followed by Faulhaber in second and Weir in third or fourth.

“Ethan Sigg can swing the bat pretty well, too,” Percy said.

Helping Percy is new assistant coach Marty Taylor, who has coached youth baseball for several years.

“Marty has caught, too, so I’m looking forward to seeing him work with our catchers,” Percy said. “It’s been an easy transition bringing in Marty, as I figured it would be.”

Percy hopes the rest of the team transitions as easily.

“Even though we replaced a few guys last year, I’d been able to see most everybody play and knew what we had,” Percy said. “This year is a little bit different. I think once we get the right players at the right positions, we’ll be all right.”

The Pioneer League chase should be competitive.

“Wellsville should be pretty good,” Percy said.

“They’ve got a couple of good left-handed pitchers com-

Kohl Endicott

ing back. Central Heights is always good, but they lost pitchers from last year. Prairie View’s coach is excited about his newcomers.”

The injury bug has reared its head before the season has begun.

Alex Bauer, expected to compete for varsity time this season, is expected to miss most, if not all, of 2014, after undergoing jaw surgery.

Meanwhile, Keanan Badders continues to recover from a knee injury suffered during football season. Percy said it was doubtful he will return for baseball this year.
