Fund drive a success

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

It came down to the final day, but officials with the former Allen County Community Foundation (now known as Your Community Foundation) received enough in Jeff Cokely donations to qualify for more than $75,000 in grant funds from the Kansas Health Foundation.

Jeff Cokely, YCF executive director, said the clincher — a $200,000 donation — was deposited in the bank just hours before the end-of-year deadline.

Your Community Foundation acts as an account holder for 28 local groups, such as Farm-City Days, the Allen County Animal Rescue Facility and the Allen County Regional Hospital Equipment Fund.

Cokely said donations to seven endowment funds, including those to Allen Community College, the Iola High School marching band and United Methodist Church, also helped the local foundaSee DRIVE | Page A4

One last march Iola grads wrap up marching band careers at KSU

I unzip the uniform bag, exposing the silvertrimmed “K-State” emblazoned down the front of the purple overlay. It smells of freshly drycleaned cotton with a hint of several years-worth of sweat. It smells of memories.

Starting with the left shoulder I unbutton the overlay from the jacket, which sports a proud, purple Powercat. I unzip and unsnap the jacket and remove the black pants from the hanger.

Left leg in; right leg in.

Shoulder straps on. I zip the pants up to my chest.

They are more snug than that first day of band camp in August 2013.

Either the pants shrunk with all the dry cleaning or I grew over the past four years.

enough money on public schools to provide a suitable education for every child.

The court heard arguments in September on that question and could rule any time.

The case stems from a lawsuit filed by four school districts in 2010 that argues the $4.1 billion a year that Kansas provides to its 286 local districts is roughly $800 million short of what’s required under the state constitution.

The state argues that its annual spending is sufficient. Republican leaders hope that even if the court disagrees, justices don’t set a target amount for a spending increase — though the high court did just that in decisions in 2005 and 2006 in a previous lawsuit.

The court’s decision will come as Brownback and legislators work to close projected state budget shortfalls totaling $1.1 billion through June 2019.

The high court could reshape abortion policy with a decision in a lawsuit filed by two doctors challenging a first-in-the-nation ban

state courts could reject abortion restrictions even if they’ve been upheld by federal courts.

The justices haven’t set arguments in the case.

The 2015 law prohibits doctors from using forceps or similar instruments on a live fetus to remove it from the womb in pieces.

The statute calls the procedure “dismemberment abortion,” a phrase coined by abortion opponents.

A Shawnee County judge temporarily blocked the ban’s enforcement and ruled that the Kansas Constitution protects abortion rights independently of the U.S. Constitution. The Kansas Court of Appeals split 7-7 on the state constitutional issue a year ago, keeping the judge’s ruling in place.

If the Kansas Supreme Court agrees that the state constitution provides its own protections for abortion rights, abortion opponents fear that

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

The high court received strong criticism for overturning the first seven death sentences it reviewed under a 1994 law reinstating capital punishment in Kansas.

But since December 2015, justices have upheld three men’s death sentences.

The state has yet to set any execution dates, with several more appeals pending.

The next appeal

likely to be ruled upon is from James Kraig Kahler. He was convicted of shooting his estranged wife, their two teenage daughters and her grandmother at the grandmother’s home outside Burlingame in 2009.

The court heard arguments in December. Another six capital cases are before the court.

POLITICAL CONTEXT

The Supreme Court’s capital punishment rulings, decisions in past school funding lawsuits and its coming ruling in the abortion case all spurred a campaign last year to oust four of the seven justices in the Novem

Financial Focus What Should You Know About Taking RMDs?

As we get older, the end of another year takes on greater meaning, in many ways, than it did when we were young. And if you’re a certain age, December 31 has a very specific meaning in terms of your finances, because it’s the deadline for withdrawing money from some of your retirement plans. What should you know about these withdrawals? And how much control over them do you have?

Here’s the picture, in a nutshell: Once you turn 70½, you generally need to start taking withdrawals – the technical term is “required minimum distributions,” or RMDs – from your traditional IRA and your 401(k) or similar plan, such as a 403(b) plan (for employees of pubic schools, religious institutions and other taxexempt organizations) or 457(b) plan (for employees of state and local governments and governmental agencies). After the first year in which you take these RMDs, you must take them by the end of each year thereafter. If you don’t withdraw at least the minimum amount (calculated based on your age, account balance and other factors) you face a penalty of 50% of what you should have taken out – a potential loss of thousands of dollars.

So, here’s priority number one: Take your RMDs before the end of the year. The financial services provider who administers your IRA or 401(k) can help you determine the amount you must withdraw.

However, after that point, it’s your decision as to whether you want to exceed the minimum. Of course, you may need to take more out to meet your living expenses. But if you have enough additional income from other sources – such as Social Security and interest and dividend payments from investments held outside your retirement accounts – you may be able to stick with the minimum withdrawals. And this could prove to be beneficial, because you obviously want your retirement accounts to last as long as possible, considering you might spend two or even three decades as a retiree.

Another reason not to take more than you need from your retirement accounts is that these withdrawals are typically taxable – so the less you take out, the lower your tax bill.

You can also potentially lower your tax burden arising from RMDs by being generous. If you take money from your IRA and donate it to a qualified charity (one that has received tax-exempt status from the IRS), you can exclude the withdrawal from your adjusted gross income and count the donation against your taxable RMDs. Suppose, for example, your RMD for 2016 is $5,500. If you take $5,000 from your IRA and donate it to a qualified charity, your taxable RMD obligation will be reduced to just $500. If you were to take another $500 from your IRA, you would satisfy your entire RMD for the year. (Consult with your tax advisor to make sure you’re following the rules governing these charitable donations from your IRA.) You worked many years to build your retirement accounts. So when it’s time to tap into them, make the right moves – and do whatever it takes to maximize the benefits you get from your required minimum distributions. e. what you can do to improve your results in 2017.

Tweets: GOP drops ethics rule change Continued from A1

tactic is an example, the days of private backchannel negotiations and behind-the-scenes arm-twisting may now be giving way to a new era of lobbying by social media shaming.

“Virtually everything he does is a different style than Washington is used to,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said of Trump’s lobbying style. “He’s going to be very public, very aggressive.”

By Trump’s standards, the tweets that piled pressure on lawmakers were relatively mild.

After House Republicans voted in a closeddoor session on Monday evening — a federal holiday — to undercut the independent Office of Congressional Ethics, government watchdogs and Democratic lawmakers railed against the move and people began calling their representatives.

House Speaker Paul Ryan and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy had opposed the changes, fearing exactly the kind of backlash that emerged.

Then Trump weighed in with two Twitter messages Tuesday morning, writing, “With all that Congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the Independent Ethics Watchdog, as unfair as it may be, their number one act and priority.”

The incoming president urged fellow Republicans to focus on top agenda items like a tax overhaul, health care and “so many other things of far greater importance!” His tweet ended with (hashtag)

With all that Congress has to work on, do they really have to make the weakening of the Independent Ethics Watchdog, as unfair as it may be, their number one act and priority.

— Donald Trump, via Twitter

DTS — a reference to “drain the swamp,” a popular catch-phrase during his outsider presidential campaign.

About two hours later, House Republicans, facing a deluge from angry constituents, dropped their plans to place the ethics board under their own control. The original rule’s author, Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte, saw his Facebook and Twitter pages bombarded with hundreds of critical messages.

After Congress reversed course, Virginia resident Ed Heresniak celebrated on Goodlatte’s Facebook page, writing: “Dead. Trump killed it with a ‘tweet.’”

Trump won’t rely on Twitter alone as his means of communicating with Congress.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence, a former Indiana congressman, is expected to be a key conduit to lawmakers and was to meet with House Republicans today. Trump has taken steps to fill out a more traditional congressional outreach team. He’s hired Rick Dearborn, a former aide to Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, as a deputy chief of staff and Marc Short, a top Pence aide, as the White House legislative affairs director. Both previously served in chief of staff positions on the

Hill.

They’ll have no shortage of work to do. Republicans in Congress differ sharply from Trump on major issues, including trade, Russia policy and entitlements.

Trump seems ready to use the lobbying approach that fueled his campaign. As a candidate, he ridiculed his political opponents and detractors on Twitter, often in cutting personal terms, in a manner that his supporters said they found refreshing and direct.

Fear of a Trump Twitter tirade could help congressional leadership, which has chafed with its own membership in recent years.

That brash approach appeared to tame — at least for now — a rowdy group of House Republicans who have flummoxed both former House Speaker John Boehner and Ryan at times.

“I don’t think there’s any question that the present-elect’s tweet this morning absolutely shifted the debate on this to where yesterday’s decision was reversed.

There’s no two ways about it, because as of last night it was a done deal,” said Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., one of Trump’s earliest and most vocal supporters in Congress.

Collins, who serves as congressional liaison

to the Trump transition team, said he didn’t receive any heads up about Trump’s opinion on the rules change before the president-elect tweeted.

House GOP leadership aides said Ryan’s office was in touch with Trump’s transition team about the changes on Monday evening but Trump’s views were not clear until he fired off the tweets.

It was also done in true Trump fashion, allowing some supporters to read into it what they want to believe.

Trump didn’t flatly oppose the decision — he questioned the timing and the prioritization of it — and his tweets did not chastise lawmakers on the merits of their plan.

By suggesting the watchdog apparatus under siege from lawmakers might be “unfair,” Trump spoke to lawmakers who have complained that they have been unfairly targeted by the independent ethics office. A top Trump adviser, Kellyanne Conway, told ABC on Tuesday morning, prior to Trump’s Twitter posts, that there had been “overzealousness” under the old system.

Trump had few admirers in Congress when he launched his campaign about 18 months ago but his tactics appear to be working — for now.

“I’m not with him on everything, but on ‘drain the swamp,’ I will work with him on anything he wants to do,” said North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones, a Republican. “My hope is that his involvement will open a door for us. I’m not sure how wide, but a crack is better than no crack.”

Rex Tillerson, nominee for Secretary of State

Tillerson: $180 million retirement package NEW YORK (AP) — Rex Tillerson, the nominee of Presidentelect Donald Trump for secretary of state, is severing ties with Exxon Mobil through a $180 million retirement package one week before his Senate confirmation hearing begins.

Tillerson will surrender, if confirmed, all unpaid stock that was part of his pay package, more than 2 million shares. In exchange, the company will make a cash payment equal to the value of those shares to a trust to be overseen by a third party, according to a regulatory filing today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Because of the way the compensation is being dispensed, Tillerson will give up about $7 million, compared with what he would have been paid had he retired in March as he had planned to do before the nomination.

Tillerson, who worked for Exxon for more than 40 years, would have reached the company’s mandatory retirement age of 65 by March, after which he would have received the payout

from Exxon over a period of 10 years.

If Tillerson returns to the oil and gas industry within 10 years, the money in the trust would be paid out to charities of the controlling trustee’s choosing.

With the appointment of Tillerson as secretary of state comes a host of thorny conflict-of-interest issues. The placing of the funds into a trust is intended to allay concerns that decisions made by Tillerson as a member of the Trump cabinet could help him or his former associates.

Darren Woods, a 25year Exxon veteran who had served as the company’s president, took over as CEO of Exxon Mobil at the start of the new year.

Tillerson began his career at Exxon as a production engineer straight out of the University of Texas at Austin in 1975. He replaced longtime CEO Lee Raymond in 2006 and led the company during one of the most turbulent periods in its history, which included the 2008 financial crisis and a collapse in oil prices since mid-2014 that has sharply diluted Exxon’s profits.

Tyson prefers not to

allude to the LLC tax break that affects about 330,000 business, including farmers, as a loophole. Rather, it is a part of the income tax law, she said, and trying to tweak it alone could adversely affect the whole law. “It’s better to fix the

tax code,” not attack it in piecemeal fashion.

“Honestly, though, I can’t say what will happen with the LLC (portion of taxes), although the governor has been adamant about keeping it,” she said.

private entity.”

That came after Murphy said he would pay for county rock and equipment use, put at $900, with funds from his VIN (vehicle identification number) account.

As it turns out, though, those funds are not at Murphy’s discretion.

A county resolution from May 2013, notes: “All expenditures from the Allen County VIN account ... must be ap-

proved by the county commission.”

Murphy told the Register he “will talk to some private contractors” about rock for the parking area. “I’m going to follow up, see if we can get ’er done.”

Commissioners did not say whether they would fuss with Murphy if he followed that path.

In the past, VIN revenue has been given to various groups, such as for the flight that carried

World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. and for school activities.

Questions have arisen in several counties whether commissioners have latitude to control budgets of individually elected officers, such as sheriffs, once their budgets are approved. The Allen County resolution has not been tested; it also affects diversion funds maintained by the county attorney and grant accounts.

THE KANSAS Health

Foundation’s roots date to the 1985 sale of Wesley Medical Center, a nonprofit hospital associated with the United Methodist Church, to the for-profit Hospital

Corporation of America (HCA). The sale’s profits went to two organizations focused on improving health in the state — the United Health Ministry Fund and the Wesley Medical Endowment Foundation (Now the Kansas Health Foundation), which operate with a $200 million endowment.

For the past five years, YCF has qualified for $50,000 in matching grants from the Kan-

sas Health Foundation, through targeted endowment drives each year.

The $50,000 grant actually exceeds $75,000 because the Kansas Health Foundation kicks in an additional $25,000 for such things as administrative expenses and training that YCF can utilize annually.

2016 was the fifth of six years Your Community Foundation is eligible for the grant.

ture who “think farmers aren’t paying enough (taxes)” have designs on restoring sales tax to farm equipment, an advantage they have had for years, she said.

With mixed signals on what may or may not occur, Tyson reiterated she was optimistic economic matters, including public school funding, would find answers during the 2017 session.

Even so, Tyson fears some things done in recent sessions, including the state borrowing $1

billion to shore up the Kansas Public Employee Retirement System, soon may find a haunting roost. “The money isn’t there to make the payments” on the KPERS loan. “I didn’t vote for it.”

Her preference to ensure the retirement fund’s solvency well into the future is to give participants the option of putting their money into private retirement accounts, rather than funnel it through the state fund.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Like Brownback, Trump’s tales leave us spinning Jobs-related spin has been an art form in Kansas.

Gov. Sam Brownback ran for re-election on a pledge to grow jobs at a significant pace. Instead, the state has lost 1,500 jobs in his second term — so far.

It’s even worse when accounting for private-sector jobs, which the governor said would explode by 100,000 in his second term due in part to his incometax breaks that left more than 330,000 small businesses paying no income taxes.

But since November 2015, Kansas lost 4,500 privatesector jobs.

Overall, Kansas had 3,900 fewer jobs this past November than in November 2015, a sorry statistic that left the Sunflower State ranked fifth worst nationwide in employment growth at minus 0.3 percent.

Yet Brownback somehow sees a success story.

“At the very time where we’ve got data now that this is producing jobs, I don’t want us to then go in a direction that is counter to what much of the country is flowing towards,” he said in a feeble attempt to sugarcoat change that only bankrupted Kansas and drove repeated rounds of cuts to core services.

While the governor blames persistent budget shortfalls on low crop prices and oil-and-gas setbacks,

other states with similar downturns don’t have a perpetual budget crisis — and are outpacing Kansas on jobs.

And now, as Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike in Kansas see tax reform as a must, we have a president-elect interested in being Brownback-like with economic stimulus strategies and self-serving governing.

Donald Trump views corporate income-tax breaks as a way to create jobs, even though the “trickle-down” scam has been discredited time and time again — as Kansans know all too well.

Trump’s also consistently misled Americans.

The Republican recently took credit for 5,000 Sprint jobs returning to the United States, even though the news was part of a 50,000job deal previously revealed without Trump involvement.

He also bragged about saving a Kentucky-based Ford Motor Co. plant that wasn’t going to close in the first place.

Like Brownback, Trump ignores the truth, creates his own reality and hopes folks fall for the propaganda.

Kansans already know the script — one set to play out with gusto on a national scale, unfortunately.

WSU has no need for football Millions of reasons exist why Wichita State University should not get back into the football business. Most of them are dollars, but the truly compelling reasons are far deeper.

Every decade or so since 1986, when President Warren Armstrong bravely pulled the plug on a moribund, poorly supported program, the issue of renewal finds new legs for a while, then fades away.

Usually reality disrupts the old alums’ nostalgia — such realities as, uhh, well, there’s no good place to play the games.

In 2016, President John Bardo invested $60,000 in a detailed analysis of a potential football program by College Sports Solutions. Little in the report conjures up the smell of crisp gold leaves drifting on a bracing fall afternoon breeze while some of the 10 percent of WSU students who actually live there stroll happily towards an emerald field etched in Shocker Yellow and Black.

Rather, for those approaching it realistically, the study contains more orange warning signs than 10 years’ worth of Kellogg Boulevard projects.

The study, as usually happens, is currently under study.

The study time has allowed discussion of possible changes in conference affiliation.

WSU may have athletically outgrown, at least for now, the Missouri Valley Conference, but it is destined forever to be what’s called a “mid-major”

Davis Merritt The Wichita Eagle university because of its size and location.

So even a change to a slightly higher level conference would not justify the return of football. It’s hard to imagine that a high-risk, 10-year startup investment on the order of $100 million in a sport would ever make a lot of sense for WSU, but certainly not now amidst the Kansas government’s fiscal train wreck.

Assuming, perhaps too optimistically, that our ship of state could be righted at some future point, could another look then be in order?

Not really.

One looming question: In 10-20 years, will amateur football be viable, given growing concerns about concussions’ long-term effects?

Another: Can it pay for itself at WSU? Whether recent startups or with 50 years of history, barely half of college football programs make a “profit.”

Depending upon how costs and revenues are allocated (a tricky business), the financially successful programs net a median of about $9 million a year. Among the other half of the 120 or so programs, the median loss is about $3 mil-

lion.

The cash-cow programs can subsidize other activities — athletic or otherwise — but the unprofitable ones are just another underfunded, recurring expense, especially for financially hard-pressed and debt-ridden students whose fees provide much of the operating revenue.

Historically, the schools on each side of the ledger remain the same year after year; that is, profitable ones tend to remain profitable, money losers tend to remain money losers. And most of the latter are mid-major universities such as WSU. The report detailed the experiences of six smaller universities that in this decade have studied the football question. At five of them, the programs were created. At all five, student fees immediately rose by $100 to $300 per semester and, under Title IX’s gender equity requirement, several new women’s non-revenue sports had to be added and supported and some men’s sports cut. And, of course, stadiums and training facilities had to be created.

The sixth, Winthrop in Rock Hill, S.C., rationally decided against football.

WSU has many important missions to fulfill, and under Bardo is launching an exciting new one. Reviving football would add little value for either students or the Wichita community, and would subtract much.

Hamilton’s warnings 216 years ago should be heeded today CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — I came here during the holidays to visit an old friend who’s fallen on hard times.

Amid the cultural sensation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton” on Broadway, the protagonist’s arch-rival, Thomas Jefferson, has momentarily lost his place of honor in the founding narrative. If Alexander Hamilton is the hero, the Sage of Monticello, though not the villain (that’s Aaron Burr) is an impediment.

In truth, Jefferson and Hamilton were indispensable, the yin and yang of American democracy: Jefferson’s love of liberty and Hamilton’s taste for centralized power created the balance that built the world’s economic and military superpower. And they had common cause in defending their creation.

Their system was under threat in 1800, when a quirk in the electoral college left the federalist-controlled House of Representatives to award the presidency to one of two republicans, Jefferson and Burr.

Miranda portrayed Hamilton as reluctantly drawn out of retirement to endorse Jefferson,

Dana Milbank Washington Post Writers Group but Hamilton’s letters show he was zealous in persuading fellow federalists to choose Jefferson — a man with whom he had more ideological differences than with Burr.

The danger to the new country, Hamilton argued, wasn’t ideological disputes, but the possibility that an unprincipled man would exploit public passions.

Hamilton’s letters from 216 winters ago, which I re-read this week, provide much relevance to this moment, as our 45th president assumes office.

Hamilton was no apologist for Jefferson, whose politics were “tinctured with fanaticism,” and who was “a contemptible hypocrite.” But, Hamilton wrote to Federalist James Bayard of Delaware, Jefferson is not “zealot enough to do anything in pursuance of his principles which will contravene his popularity, or

his interest. He is as likely as any man I know to temporize — to calculate what will be likely to promote his own reputation and advantage; and the probable result of such a temper is the preservation of systems, though originally opposed, which being once established, could not be overturned without danger to the person who did it. … Add to this that there is no fair reason to suppose him capable of being corrupted, which is a security that he will not go beyond certain limits.”

Some Federalists thought the non-ideological Burr would be more malleable.

But, Hamilton countered, a man without theory cannot be “a systematic or able statesman.” Burr is “more cunning than wise ... inferior in real ability to Jefferson,” Hamilton wrote. “Great Ambition unchecked by principle ... is an unruly Tyrant.”

The former Treasury secretary warned that Burr’s trafficking in “the floating passions of the multitude” would lead him to “endeavour to disorganize both parties & to form out of them a third composed of men fitted

by their characters to be conspirators.”

Hamilton recounted that when Burr was told something wasn’t permissible under the American system, Burr replied “les grands ames se soucient peu des petits morceaux” — great souls care little about small things.

This led Hamilton to conclude that “Burr would consider a scheme of usurpation as visionary.”

Hamilton issued similar warnings in the winter of 1800-01 to James Ross of Pennsylvania, John Rutledge Jr. of South Carolina, Oliver Wolcott Jr. of Connecticut and Gouverneur Morris of New York.

Certainly there was personal enmity between Hamilton and the bankrupt “voluptuary” he called Burr. But underlying Hamilton’s aggressive campaign for Jefferson was a fear that America’s democracy was too fragile to survive Burr’s ambition.

“He is of a temper to undertake the most hazardous enterprises because he is sanguine enough to think nothing impracticable, and of an ambition which will be content with nothing less than perma-

nent power in his own hands,” he wrote Bayard. “The maintenance of the existing institutions will not suit him, because under them his power will be too narrow & too precarious; yet the innovations he may attempt will not offer the substitute of a system durable & safe, calculated to give lasting prosperity, & to unite liberty with strength. It will be the system of the day, sufficient to serve his own turn, & not looking beyond himself.”

“The truth,” Hamilton wrote, “is that under forms of Government like ours, too much is practicable to men who will without scruple avail themselves of the bad passions of human nature.”

Hamilton’s view of Burr would later become universal. Jefferson would come to see his former running mate as “one of the most flagitious [villainous] of which history will ever furnish an example.”

Hamilton’s intervention gave the country the triumphant presidency of Jefferson, sparing the young nation an unscrupulous man exploiting public passion to usurp power.

Will we be as lucky in 2017?

March: Band members complete season Continued from A1

hard that people would “cut themselves.”

It worked, but not on any of the Iola graduates. We all kept the uniforms we received that first day because we earned them through the sweat of 100-plus degrees on a turf field in August humidity.

THREE YEARS later, Jordan and I were the only Iola graduates left.

We had marched together for eight years.

We saw Iola’s band at its worst and were there when two new band directors put the band on a path to unprecedented success.

We made it through four different K-State band camps, where a week of three-a-day rehearsals start the school year. Our baritone section went from rumors of possibly being cut to being replaced with other instruments to earning “Section of the Year” our senior seasons.

We played in the band when it earned the Sudler Trophy, the highest award in the country for a collegiate marching band.

After eight years of marching together, we went through so many shared experiences and created so many memories that a book would be a more suitable place to share them.

I hugged Jordan before my last halftime show ever at Wednesday’s Texas Bowl. Standing on the sideline sandwiched between the football players and cheering, purple-clad fans, surrounded by the rest of our band family, I let the weight of that friendship sink in.

BUT NOT for long. We charged the field, taking the spot just vacated by the famed military-style band of Texas A&M. Uniform 144 was soaked in my sweat as the drum major’s whistles and percussion intro led the band into the “Chicago” show we had rehearsed countless times.

With high-stepping knees and a full-drawn breath of humid Texas air I turned and blew with all my strength into my baritone to do my part in creating the powerful opening chord.

My note cracked. I failed on my last first note of a halftime show.

With little panic and hardly skipping a beat, my diaphragm and lungs combined to bring

Jason Tidd stands at attention after completing the halftime show Dec. 28 at the Texas Bowl in Houston. It was his last football game as a member of the Pride of Wildcat Land Marching Band. PHOTO BY K-STATE MARCHING BAND in another breath.

I cracked my second note.

I quickly realized the problem: the middle of my bottom lip had split due to the first half of playing in the stands, the pregame show, three pep rallies and two rehearsals.

I adjusted my embouchure to allow for maximum breath support while still producing a powerful sound. It hurt, but I ignored the pain.

SOMETHING strange happens to me during halftime shows. I forget everything. The music, moves and even pain all vanish from thought. I can’t remember the next note or think ahead to the next move.

Everything is so drilled into me through Dr. Tracz’s rehearsals that I do not have to think. I just do it. I play the right note and I march to the correct spot as if some musical angel has claimed possession of my body. Perhaps my mom took on that role.

My mom, Julie, was a band director at IHS

before I was born, but I played under her direction for the Iola Municipal Band. She died of cancer on Mother’s’ Day 2012 during my junior year of high school.

As the show progressed, my breath support and leg muscles became weaker and weaker.

Long game days seem to do that to you. My breaths grew more frequent, my notes were less crisp and my 8-to-5 roll steps were less precise.

But I know I used my best high step during the marching feature and played the best bass line I possibly could during Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4” to end the show.

I finished the show strong from the front row of the 400-plus-piece band and marched off singing “Wildcat Victory.” I soaked in the cheering crowd in Houston’s NRG Stadium as my band family finished singing. I broke my concentration and smiled.

I looked at the empty seats where the K-State band played its part in securing the eventual 33-28 win and thought of my mom and how she

never saw me march in the Pride. My eyes watered, but no tears joined the streaks of sweat running down my face.

MY FINAL chapter of playing in a marching band closed that day.

I wiped the sweat from my brow with what once were white gloves. I unzipped the pants, feeling for the last time the relief of the pressure on my chest as a snug band uniform peeled away from my sweaty body.

I breathed in the smell of band: sweat, metal, valve oil and cotton, complete with five hours of pregame preparation, marinated in Houston humidity, baked for three hours in the Texas Bowl and flavored with four years of some of my best college memories. Never again will I smell like that.

I buttoned up uniform 144 and took the Sudler Trophy pin off the chest.

The next time I go to a KState football game will be the first time I watch and cheer for a Pride of Wildcat Land halftime show. I hear they’re pretty good.

Lawmakers live TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Legislature will soon begin streaming live audio of committee hearings over the internet.

The three rooms that host the most highprofile committees will have live audio starting this month. The other 10 rooms used for hearings are expected to have live audio before the end of the 2017 session, the Lawrence JournalWorld reported.

Advocates for open government in Kansas have long sought streaming audio, which was mandated in the final budget that lawmakers passed last year. The program is funded by a three-year, $199,000 grant from the Information Network of Kansas, which helps public entities launch e-government services.

Residents have been able to listen to Kansas Senate or House sessions in real time on the internet for several years. Adding audio for committee hearings is a good step, though more still needs to be done, said Kansas Sunshine Coalition for Open Government President Ron Keefover.

“That’s a very easy way to make more transparency at the Kansas Legislature,” he said.

“It’s a good move in the right direction, but we would prefer to have all of the meetings video streamed if possible.”

State officials said there aren’t immediate plans to begin streaming video because it would be too expensive.

“Based on current funding, the answer to your question about video is definitely not,” Legislature chief information technology officer James Miller said. “Video is literally a quantum leap, both in terms of the technology required and the amount of bandwidth required.”

Keefover, a retired Kansas Supreme Court spokesman, directed the effort to launch live video streaming of Supreme Court hearings.

He said the system was installed for less than $15,000, and included two cameras and a control board to switch between the two.

Miller said there is one in the Old Supreme Courtroom set up a few years ago, “but it’s an asrequested kind of thing at this point.”

Hays hospital partners with Kansas University

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — The University of Kansas Hospital and Hays Medical Center are officially partners.

The partnership was announced in September but became official with the new year.

The Kansas City Star reports the agreement more closely aligns the Hays hospital with the state’s only academic/ teaching hospital and allows University of Kan-

sas medical residents to work in Hays.

The two hospitals are consolidating their financial statements.

They also will have a new operations council to direct the partnership.

Hospital staff will continue to be employed by their current organizations. And the Hays Medical Center Board of Directors will remain in place.

Girls’ High School Basketball: Humboldt 35, Marmaton Valley 14

Cubs turn up pressure in win over Wildcats

By JASON TIDD The Iola Register

MORAN — Riding the back of a smothering full-court press, Humboldt stole the ball and the lead early in Tuesday’s game against Marmaton Valley in Moran and never looked back.

A 15-second span in the middle of the first quarter set the tone for much of the rest of the game.

Humboldt forced a turnover and Rylan Wilhite scored

H.S. Basketball:

After using Wildcat turnovers to jump out to a 13-2 first quarter lead, the Cubs won 3514.

The 19-point win didn’t satisfy Humboldt coach Aubrey Jones, however.

“We were really out of it today,” Jones said. “The only good thing about that game was that we got out of here with a win. That’s what’s

called winning ugly.”

The Wildcats once broke the Cubs’ pressure by throwing a long pass over the defense to an open Kyla Drake who hit the layup, but the same play did not beat the Cubs twice.

“We put that one in yesterday in practice,” Marmaton Valley coach Gavin Cole said.

“I anticipated them pressing us… and it was great it worked out. I wish we had more of those that could get us that easy layup.”

Drake and Isabelle Bigelow

led the Wildcats in scoring with five points each.

“I thought Kyla played well, but it’s by no surprise,” Cole said. “I thought she had some of the better practices over Christmas break. “(Bigelow) brings something that we desperately need, and that’s the ability to shoot the ball. She can stretch the defense, she’s got a little range to her game. Moving forward, she’s going to be imSee HUMBOLDT | Page B6

Hoepker’s 31 leads Cubs past Wildcats

By JASON TIDD The Iola Register

MORAN — An early Marmaton Valley lead evaporated quickly as Tuesday’s game against Humboldt turned into the Rayce Hoepker show.

The Wildcats led the Cubs 6-5 midway through the first quarter after a pair of Justice Pugh free throws.

“I asked them to throw the first punch, and we came out and threw the first punch,” Marmaton Valley coach Jason Bauer said. “They started to believe in themselves, but then Rayce got hot and we didn’t have any confidence.”

Hoepker — who is averaging 27.8 points-per-game this season — scored the next eight points on a pair of threes and a fastbreak layup after Pugh’s free throws to lead Humboldt to a 24-8 lead at the end of the first quarter. Hoepker had 19 of those 24.

The Cubs won 59-23. Hoepker scored 31 points in only three quarters of action.

“The whole goal was to not let (Hoepker) touch the ball, and we did a very poor job of that,” Bauer said.

The Fillies went into the locker room at halftime with a sour taste in their mouths. They only trailed 15-12 against Anderson County, but it felt like a lot more after the Bulldogs outscored them 13-2 in the second quarter.

“People might have thought that we weren’t going to win,” Iola senior Della Lohman said. “So our mindset was that we were going to come out and kick their butts.”

“As ugly as we played, we were only down three,” Iola coach Becky Carlson said.

lineup was different from usual as well, however, with sophomore guard Derek Bycroft getting his first varsity minutes of the season and joining Holloway, Evan Sigg, Ben Cooper and Isaiah Fawson.

“We always knew he was a good basketball player,” Holloway said. “He is one of the truer point guards we have on our team. He is a very good passer. I was impressed.”

That group played a majori-

ty of the fourth-quarter as the Mustangs recovered from a brief 51-50 deficit to pull away for the eight-point win. “(Bycroft) always works hard in practice,” Applegate said. “We wanted to give him a chance and it worked out.”

With three minutes left, Holloway scored to put the Mustangs back in front 52-51.

Reality TV’s Omarosa hired for Trump’s White House outreach

By JULIE PACE and JULIE BYKOWICZ Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Omarosa Manigault is getting hired.

A memorable contestant in the first season of “The Apprentice,” Manigault is expected to join President-elect Donald Trump’s White House staff, according to two people familiar with the decision. Her job is expected to focus on public engagement.

Manigault was one of Trump’s most prominent African-American supporters during the campaign and has been working with his transition team. Her effusive praise of Trump has at times drawn criticism.

“Every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to President Trump,” she said in an interview for a PBS “Frontline” documen-

tary about the presidential campaign. “It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe.”

Manigault, who prefers to use only her first name, made it through nine weeks of “The Apprentice” before Trump directed his infamous tagline, “You’re fired,” at her. She was portrayed as a cut-throat contestant during the season. She returned to Trump’s “Apprentice” franchise several times and has appeared on other reality TV shows.

Manigault said she has stayed close to Trump over the years and served as his campaign’s director of African-American outreach.

Last month, she shepherded NFL legends Ray Lewis and Jim Brown into a Trump Tower meeting with the president-elect. Af-

terward, Lewis posted a photo of himself and Manigault on his Facebook page, writing, “Was great meeting Omarosa and the team ... very impressive and passionate.”

This will be Manigault’s second season at the White House. She worked in the office of Vice President Al Gore during the Clinton administration.

The Trump transition team did not respond to inquiries about Manigault’s role.

The two people familiar with the decision insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the hiring process publicly.

Manigault previewed her hiring during the Fox News New Year’s Eve coverage, according to news reports, saying her title would be “huge.”

Kansas Congressman’s son ‘dabs’ during swearing-in photo op WASHINGTON (AP) — A new Kansas Congressman is dishing out discipline after his 17-year-old son pulled a dance move resembling a sneeze during a photo shoot with House Speaker Paul Ryan after the U.S. House of Representatives swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol.

U.S. Rep. Roger Marshall tweeted: “He’s grounded.”

During the photo shoot Tuesday, Cal Marshall held the Bible with his father and Ryan. As the photographer prepared to take photos, the son raised one arm in the move popularized by sports celebrities known as dabbing,

hiding his face as if he was about to sneeze.

Ryan asked if he was OK. As the teen began laughing, Marshall said, “He’s sneezing.”

Marshall, an obstetrician, won the 1st District seat after beating incumbent tea party favorite Tim Huelskamp in the Republican primary.

US auto sales near record highs in 2016 DETROIT (AP) — Demand may be slowing, but U.S. consumers still bought a whole lot of cars and trucks in 2016.

U.S. sales of new vehicles could hit a new high in 2016. Consulting firm LMC Automotive and car-buying site Edmunds.com both predict sales will squeak past the record set last year and reach 17.5 million in 2016.

General Motors Co. said its full-year sales were down 1.3 percent

to just over 3 million cars and trucks. That was partly because the company cut back on low-profit sales to rental-car firms.

Other automakers report December and full-year sales later today.

LMC expects sales to be up 1.4 percent in December compared with a year ago, with total sales of just over 1.6 million vehicles. GM’s sales were up 10 percent for the month.

Yates Center boys top Flint Hills The Yates Center boys’ basketball team was able to push its perfect record to 6-0 with a 45-29 victory at Flint Hills on Tuesday night.

The Yates Center girls were unable to conquer their Flint Hills coun-

terparts. Flint Hills won 49-27.

UP NEXT Yates Center’s season continues on Friday when they make the road trip to West Elk for a varsity doubleheader.

Iola junior Evan Sigg (32) scores on a layup against Anderson County on Tuesday night in Iola. REGISTER/JON

Mustangs: Sigg leads Iola with 19 in win Continued from B1

two with a free throw with just under two minutes remaining in the game. After the Mustangs were able to get another defensive stop, Ben Cooper hit a driving layup to give the Mustangs a 55-51 lead.

The Mustang defense remained strong and they continued to dominate the rebounding margin — a major key going into the second half of the season.

Sigg says he and his teammates have had the importance of rebounding the basketball drilled into them over break.

“We know that there are consequences behind not getting those rebounds,” Sigg said. “Sprints, lots and lots of sprints.”

Those sprints did the trick for at least one game as the Mustangs controlled the glass and kept collecting the Bulldogs’ misses in the final minutes and parading to the free throw line after Anderson County was forced to foul them to get the ball back.

Both Bycroft and Holloway went three-of-four from the charity stripe in the final minute and Fawson was two-of-two.

A late Anderson County three pointer made the final margin closer, but

Iola was able to notch its first Pioneer League win and improve its overall record to 4-3 this season.

Despite not starting the game together for the first time this season, Sigg and Holloway were able to control the game with 35 combined points.

“We need to run our offense,” Applegate said.

“When we have patience, we can get those post touches, but we don’t have patience a lot of times.”

Sigg turned in his best performance of the season with 19 points and was impossible for the Bulldogs to contain. He was able to drive on the overmatched Anderson County post players by using his quickness. When the Bulldogs tried to match him with speedier players, Sigg out-muscled them inside.

“I felt pretty good,” Sigg said.

Holloway enjoyed a similar advantage when he entered the game and scored 16 points off the bench. The junior showed off his diverse offensive game with a pair of “andone” plays on drives from the top of the key, several strong post moves and a couple of perimeter jumpers.

“With our size, I felt we could dominate,” Hollo-

way said.

The Mustangs demonstrated another way that they can hurt teams on the offensive end by using their posts to that extent.

Fawson and Cooper combined for just 11 points and took fewer shots than they had been accustomed to in the beginning of the season when they were top scorers for Iola.

If Iola can get its guards and forwards clicking together, the Mustang offense will become very scary for the rest of the Pioneer League.

Regehr played well in his first start of the season with six points.

“Chase is extremely strong for his size and he is a tenacious defender,” Holloway said.

Mykhailiuk’s basket wins it for Jayhawks against rival Wildcats

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Svi Mykhailiuk claimed he had no idea whether he traveled during his coast-to-coast, buzzer-beating layup that gave No. 3 Kansas a dramatic 90-88 victory over Kansas State on Tuesday night.

Wildcats coach Bruce Weber couldn’t have been more certain.

“I think everybody knows what happened.

Want to see my phone?

There’s a hundred (messages),” Weber said.

“Everybody knows what happened. I mean, it’s obvious. The TV people came up to me. Everyone.”

Indeed, replays showed Mykhailiuk picking up his dribble shy of midcourt and taking four massive strides to the basket. But the officiating crew of Mike Stuart, Ray Natali and Keith Kimble never blew a whistle, and traveling calls are not covered by instant replay.

The game was over.

Even if the controversy was certain to continue.

“Svi showed some athletic ability there at the end,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “I haven’t seen it. I don’t know if he walked or not. I know everybody said he did. He may have, I don’t know.

But it still was a heck of an athletic play to get all the way to the hole.”

Josh Jackson matched a career high with 22 points to go with nine rebounds and six assists, and Landen Lucas added 18 points and 12 rebounds, as the Jayhawks (13-1, 2-0 Big 12) pushed their home winning streak to 50 in one of the closest games during that incredible streak.

“It was a great play by Svi,” Lucas said of the final play, which broke down on the inbounds.

“It wasn’t exactly what we drew up, but he improvised and made it happen.”

The Wildcats (13-2, 1-1) had the first chance to take the lead in the final seconds, but Dean Wade missed a 3-pointer and the ball bounced out of bounds with 5.6 ticks left on the clock.

LAWRENCE JOURNAL WORLD/NICK KRUG down the court — four of them, as it turned out. His winning basket gave him 11 points for the game, not to mention kept Self from losing to Kansas State for the second time at home.

Wade matched a career high with 20 points.

Wesley Iwundu finished with 17, Kamau Stokes and Barry Brown added 13 points apiece, and D.J. Johnson had 10.

The Wildcats have often been shell-shocked by the Phog, the early minutes taking them right out of the game.

But they never appeared to be intimidated by the atmosphere Tuesday night.

In fact, it was Kansas State that raced to a 21-13 lead in the opening minutes.

The Wildcats eventually cooled down from beyond the arc, where they hit four of their first five shots, and Kansas began to claw back. A big run midway through the half allowed the Jayhawks to take the lead, and they hit nine of their last 10 shots to forge a 52-42 halftime advantage.

Kansas never trailed

the rest of the way.

Kansas State never made it easy.

The Wildcats used a five-point trip thanks in part to a technical foul on Jackson to trim into a 56-48 deficit. Then, Johnson single-handedly got Lucas into foul trouble by bulldozing for baskets, robbing the Jayhawks of their best interior player for much of the half.

Kansas State finally tied the game 84-all when Brown scored high off the glass in transition, but the Jayhawks went right back to Lucas, whose inside basket made it 86-84 with 1:27 to go.

Back and forth it went: Stokes answered with two free throws — par for the course in a foulfilled game — only for Lucas to get his revenge by fouling out Johnson at the other end. And after his two free throws, Iwundu’s basket tied it at 88 with 49 seconds to go.

That set up the final, frantic play that ultimately overshadowed everything else.

BIG PICTURE Kansas State nearly

aced its toughest test of the season, and may gain more in a close loss than it did in compiling a glossy non-conference record against low-level fodder.

Kansas has won two close games to open conference play, quickly finding that the path to its 13th consecutive Big 12 championship could be tougher than expected.

STATS AND STREAK Kansas shot 53.2 percent while Kansas State shot 50.8 percent. ... Each team had 33 rebounds. ... Mason was 4 of 5 from beyond the arc but matched a season high with five turnovers. ...

Wade missed all three of his 3-point attempts. ...

The Wildcats only committed nine turnovers. ... The 88 points are the second-most scored by the Wildcats in Allen Fieldhouse. They scored 91 on Feb. 7, 1962.

Cubs: Humboldt beats Marmaton Valley Continued from B1

Humboldt coach David Taylor said Hoepker had a good first quarter in part because of several layups in transition.

“We have a saying, ’he who runs gets to score,’ in terms of easy transition buckets,” Taylor said.

Hoepker certainly ran.

“It took us awhile to get going, but I thought we were really crisp with running our stuff,” Taylor said. “And Rayce shot the ball really well early, and that got us going.”

Taylor also said the team played better once it fought for rebounds.

“I told them that five to 10 years down the road they’re going to wish that they would’ve played harder, given more effort, actually cared about it because down the road you can’t go back and do it over,” Bauer said. “You only get one chance.”

Severity, prognosis varies for Guillain-Barre syndrome Dear Dr. Roach: My daughter has had symptoms of Guillain-Barre syndrome since her 20s.

She is now 64 and has been doing fairly well.

She is ambulatory and curious about her future.

— P.B. Answer: GuillainBarre syndrome is a type of acute muscle paralysis that occurs after an event, usually an infection. (Campylobacter jejuni, a sometimes-severe bacterial infection, is the most common recognized cause.) But it also can happen after surgery or, rarely, a vaccination.

The weakness usually starts in the legs, and progresses over two weeks or

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health so. The degree of paralysis ranges from mild difficulty walking to complete paralysis of all muscles, including those needed for breathing. Between 10 and 30 percent of people will need the support of a ventilator. Pain, sensory abnormalities and loss of reflexes are common.

The nervous system controls many functions besides muscle strength, and these can be affected, especially regulation of heart rate, bladder func-

tion and blood pressure.

Severe abnormalities of nervous system function can cause sudden death.

About 3 to 7 percent of people with GBS will die within one year of diagnosis, despite intensive support.

Because the severity of the disease is so varied, it is hard to discuss longterm prognosis. Since your daughter must have had her initial episode about 40 years ago, she may not have been treated with either of the two modalities now known to shorten the course of the disease: intravenous immune globulin or plasma exchange. Among people who were not given one of these treatments,

about 10 percent had relapses, and 2 to 5 percent will develop chronic relapsing weakness, called chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy.

Eighty percent of people with GBS are walking six months after the event. After one year, 60 percent have full recovery, 26 percent have partial recovery and 14 percent persist with severe motor problems.

It sounds like your daughter has had partial but not complete recovery. However, it can be difficult to separate relapsing GBS from CIDP. I suspect your daughter’s doctors have far more expertise than I.

She believes in marriage. He doesn’t.

Dear Carolyn: I have been dating a nice guy for a little over a month.

He is sweet and affectionate. The one problem is that he seems to have a negative outlook on marriage and kids.

Whenever I bring up my friends with kids and families, he laments about how they are probably miserable behind closed doors.

I find this outlook for a guy in his mid-30s possibly a red flag since I do consider marriage important. Is this a dealbreaker, or nothing to worry about since we are early in the relationship? ­— Red Flags Red Flags: And you respond to these laments, how? “What” comes to mind; seeing families as “miserable behind closed doors” is not exactly cocktail-party chatter. It is seriously dark.

It’s important to feel comfortable asking peo-

ple, especially people you date, what their worldview is and why, especially when it differs so plainly from yours.

It’s just as important for you to understand and be willing to share your own. You have a high regard for marriage, it seems. Why? Is it reflexive or duly thought out? It’s who you are, after all.

So his dark skepticism could be a dealbreaker, yes. As could your lack of it, as could your reluctance to poke at what he means, as could his apparent preference for communicating via lament instead of actual conversation.

The mother of all dealbreakers is if the interest in getting to know

Dear Carolyn: My 80-year-old father has to go to court for beating up my mother (they are divorced). He’s not worried because he doesn’t think he did anything out of line. He has serious mental issues, which he denies. He’s an alcoholic and has been an abusive husband and father. He really can’t live alone anymore and if he doesn’t go to jail — which I’m assuming is unlikely because of his age — something will need to be done.

He wants my help, both with the court issue and helping him decide what to do about his living situation. Every time I’m near him, I lose my temper because he just doesn’t see that he’s ever done anything wrong. What do I owe this man, who is my fa-

ther, but is also sick and not a very nice person?

— Anonymous Anonymous: Goodness. Please give yourself the loving gift of engaging professional help with this whole process, starting with a really good geriatric social worker. The court itself might be a source for referrals, and if not, then contact the local council on aging. Repeat to yourself as needed: “This is over my head.”

Because it is for each issue involved — the violence, alcoholism, mental incompetence and legal jeopardy — much less for all of them combined.

who provided the final swift kick.

With 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Wade put the Fillies in front with a driving basket and gave her team the points it needed for a 3735 victory. “Coach told me that if we didn’t have anything to look for a drive and in the moment, I just went for it,� Wade said.

After Wade broke the tie, the Bulldogs had a couple of chances to either tie the game or steal the win.

A Bulldog three-point shot bounced off the rim, but ricocheted out of bounds off of Iola with 4.8 seconds left.

Anderson County drew up one final play, but Ashley Lickteig’s mid-range jumper was off and as the two teams battled for the rebound the final buzzer sounded.

The win improves Iola’s record to 4-3 and makes them 2-1 in Pioneer League play with a two-game winning streak. “It is great,� Wade said. “We are just ready to get another win on Friday at Osawatomie.�

The final two points of the game capped Wade’s 18-point scoring night.

The Fillies’ post players were also able to take advantage of an undersized Anderson County front line. Lohman and fellow senior Riley Murry each had strong games rebounding the basketball. “I felt like Della and Riley were very aggressive tonight and played great,� Carlson said.

The small opposing lineup also offered Carlson the opportunity to go small and get more minutes for sophomore guard Madisyn Holloway, who is emerging as a potential offensive weapon off of the bench. “She is long and quick,� Carlson said. “She can shoot and is offensive-minded.

She is just really aggressive and quick.�

The key for Holloway has been getting her defense aggressiveness to the point of where she is offensively. “I think it is (improving),� Carlson said of Holloway’s defense. “She is a guard, but she is so long. That helps.�

Her backcourt partner

Wade agreed that having the extra athleticism of Holloway helped the pressure defense. Wade had four steals early in second half to get the Fillies jump-started. “I think our defense really came alive and when we get a steal, it really brings everything to life, especially on the offensive end,� Wade said.

Cole said. “If you end the game with 20 turnovers,

that’s 20 shots you never got up. If you make 25 percent of them, then that’s five shots and 10 points at least. “Sometimes we’re so busy fighting with the pressure we have on us that we miss open people sometimes.

Crest sweeps Northeast Arma The Crest boys were just able to find a way to get a victory on Tuesday against Northeast Arma.

The Lancers outscored Northeast Arma 18-10 in the final quarter to rally for a 52-45 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good win on the road for us tonight, albeit an ugly win,â&#x20AC;? Crest coach Travis Hermreck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;uglyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is what it takes for us to win, then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all right.â&#x20AC;?

Hayden Hermreck led the team with 16 points while Nick Vaughn had 12 and Austin Hendrix had 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Offensively, even though we shot the ball well we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very good,â&#x20AC;? Travis Hermreck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were out of sync all night and turned it over way too many times.â&#x20AC;?

Hermreck was pleased with how his defense fin-

ished the game, although there is room for improvement there, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defensively we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very solid until the fourth quarter,â&#x20AC;?

Hermreck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was proud of how we pinned our ears back and got some stops late in the game.â&#x20AC;?
