For years, I have encouraged teams to pray before games for the safety of the players.  I knew that standing on the sidelines, you can be injured also, but never heard of someone dying from a hit on the sidelines until this week.

A photographer was hit on the sidelines during a JV game in Wichita and hit her head on some concrete and died several days later at the hospital. What a sad situation. Our thoughts are with the family and the two teams who were involved and anyone who was at the game or knew the photographer.

Our gracious heavenly Father, we pray for no major life changing injuries during the games or as we drive to the games and no matter where we are at the games, Oh Lord we pray. Amen.

Rankings September 5, 2023

If feels good to finally have the 2023 football season underway!

Last years champion, in each classification, is still the top team, except in Class 1A and Class 6-man. St Marys Colgan has received the votes to be the top team in Class 1A. Where in Class 6-man, Ashland has received the number one position.

The only teams receiving all number one votes from the polling team are as follows: Mill Valley, Andale, Axtell and Ashland.

The closest race for number one is between Manhattan and Gardner-Edgerton. They were tied for the number one slot, but I gave that position to last years champions.

The second closest race is between Nemaha Central and Sabetha. Only two points separate those two. Only 14.74 miles between these two towns of Seneca and Sabetha as the crow flies also. What a game that will be, the 8th week of the season!
