Southeast trips East in overtime

JOANNA CHADWICK — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:52 CST

It was just another classic East-Southeast boys basketball game on Tuesday night.

In a battle of two of the state's top teams -- Southeast is ranked No. 2 in Class 6A, East No. 4 -- Southeast defeated East 83-79 in overtime at Southeast.

"It's a good Southeast and East ballgame," said Southeast coach Carl Taylor, whose team improved to 5-1. "They had their spurts, we had our spurts."

It's the fourth straight regular-season matchup between the two that went into extra time.

Circle slips by Rose Hill boys

BROOKS SEELEY — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:46 CST

Circle looked great for three quarters against Rose Hill on Tuesday night. But after Rose Hill came back from a 22-point deficit and had the ball trailing 62-60 with 22 seconds remaining, things looked rocky.

But Rose Hill, which got 32 points from Caleb Brown, didn't score in its final two possessions and Circle held on for a 63-60 victory in a matchup of unbeaten Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League teams.

Rose Hill's Tyler Shirley missed a three-point shot and Dillon Rapp missed the follow attempt.

Circle's Seth Siemens, who scored a team-high 15 points, grabbed the rebound and threw it downcourt to an open Alex Gardinier. Gardinier was fouled with 8.4 seconds to play.

Gardinier made his first free throw but missed his second and gave Rose Hill another chance. Circle (5-0) was 20 of 37 from the free-throw line.

Clearwater upsets No. 4 Andale

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:39 CST

Clearwater's girls basketball team went on the road Tuesday night and knocked off the No. 4 team in Class 4A.

Danielle Becker scored 13 points and Melanie Brockelman added 12 for Clearwater in the Indians' 49-46 victory over Andale.

Clearwater is 5-1, 2-0 in Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League Division IV. Andale is 3-2, 2-1.

Erin Carney and Melissa Easter had 12 points apiece for Andale, which made 9 of 22 free throws.

Carroll's Marshall scores 27 in victory

JEFFREY LUTZ — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:39 CST

Julia Marshall spouted off the number as if she had been counting them each individually.

"I was just ready to play today. We hadn't played in 18 days," the Bishop Carroll senior point guard said. "I was just ready for it."

Marshall played as though she was glad to be back from a long holiday break. She showed no rust in scoring 27 points in a 74-34 win over North.

The layoff seemingly didn't affect any of Carroll's players negatively. Facing a team many think could finish in the top four of the City League, the Eagles raced to a 12-point lead after the first quarter and kept extending it.

Four players scored in double figures for Carroll, which hit eight three-pointers and held North to 13-of-36 shooting.

North steals win from Carroll with clutch shot

JEFFREY LUTZ — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:39 CST

Chekiel Wright's first name is pronounced like that of Mr. O'Neal, the future Hall of Fame center known as "Shaq."

Not only does Wright have an NBA name, he is developing a skill that helps players stand out at basketball's highest level, or any level for that matter -- clutch shooting.

Late last season, Wright dropped in a buzzer beater to help North beat South. Tuesday night, he did it again.

Wright's 15-footer as time expired gave the Redskins a 56-54 win over Bishop Carroll.

"In situations like that, I feel like I don't necessarily have to be the one to take the shot, but I have to be the one to create something for the team, to make something happen," Wright said. "In this case, the ball ended up in my hands and I just put it up there and it went in."

Goddard stymies Hutchinson boys

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:46 CST

Ian Spence scored 10 points to lead Goddard to a 41-38 Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League boys basketball victory over Hutchinson at Goddard on Tuesday night.

Goddard led much of the way, owning a six-point lead with three minutes to play. Hutchinson cut the lead in half with a three-pointer but could never tie or take the lead.

Jordan Flynn led Hutchinson with 10 points.

Hutchinson	13 6 11 8 -- 38
Goddard	12 8 11 10 -- 41

HUTCHINSON: Haden 8, Flynn 10, Dreiling 6, Dinwiddie 1, Grissom 8, Goetz 5. Totals 14 (3) 7-12 38.

GODDARD: Langhofer 6, Spence 10, Schroth 7, Puthoff 8, Schroeder 2, Chippeaux 8. Totals 14 (2) 11-13 41.

Kapaun controls Northwest late

JONATHAN LONG — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:46 CST

During the holiday break, Kapaun Mount Carmel and Northwest worked on late-game leadership.

Tuesday night, the Crusaders got it at key moments and defeated Northwest 40-37 at Kapaun.

Kapaun trailed by one with three minutes remaining before the combination of Dolan Greathouse and Dyllon Knox took control. Greathouse made a three-pointer from the wing with 2:30 to play to give Kapaun (2-3, 2-2 City League) the lead.

Knox made 4 of 5 free throws down the stretch to keep it.

"When we needed it tonight, different people stepped up," said Knox, who finished with a game-high 13 points. "We played hard and got the 'W.' "

Unbeaten Heights rolls past West

TRAVIS RICHARDSON — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:39 CST

The Heights boys basketball team, playing its first game in more than two weeks, predictably showed some rust Tuesday night against West.

But the Falcons quickly shook it off, defeating the Pioneers 84-52.

"Coach told us not to worry about coming out and making mistakes," said Heights senior Dorrian Roberts, who finished with 18 points behind 4-of-5 three-point shooting. "We knew we would get back into the flow of the game."

Heights, the No. 1 team in Class 6A, never trailed, fueled in part by a 10-0 run to end the first quarter.

Sophomore Evan Wessel hit a three to start the run, followed by Roberts hitting a three of his own.

Southeast, East clash in battle of ranked teams

JONATHAN LONG — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:22 CST

High school basketball is back.

After a two-week winter break, the season continues tonight with a headline boys game between perennial City League powers.

East (3-1) travels to Southeast (4-1) in a matchup of the fourth and second-ranked teams in Class 6A.

East has played well since starting the season with a close loss to Heights. East has had two close calls since the loss, dominating the last three minutes in a 60-46 win over Hutchinson and holding on for a 49-45 win over Bishop Carroll in the final game before the break.

"I don't know if we have momentum, but it sure does make practice more positive," East coach Ron Allen said.

Brown named co-MVP of U.S. Army Bowl

Sun, 04 Jan 2009 05:31 CST

Wichita East's Bryce Brown scored two touchdowns as the East high school stars beat the West 30-17 in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Brown, who is orally committed to Miami, had 146 all-purpose yards and was named the game's co-MVP along with East quarterback Tajh Boyd.

Brown scored first on a 60-yard touchdown pass from Boyd to give the East a 20-10 lead.

Brown scored again when Boyd found him behind the West defense for a 41-yard TD that gave the East a 30-10 lead with 6:16 remaining.

It didn't take Boyd long to get going after he entered the game midway through the second quarter. On his first series, he completed a 34-yard pass on third-and-13 to Michigan-bound Jeremy Gallon. Two plays later, he found Corey Brown in the end zone for a 14-3 East lead with 1:55 left in the first half.

Corey Brown, a 6-foot-1 receiver headed to Ohio State from Monroeville, Pa., jumped over double coverage to make the catch before coming down awkwardly and needing a few moments to get back to his feet.

National honor to Brown

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 01:38 CST

Former Wichita East running back Bryce Brown was named U.S. Army Player of the Year during a banquet Friday in San Antonio.

Brown takes the national stage today as a member of the East squad in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio.

The game, from the Alamodome, starts at noon on KSNW, Channel 3.

Brown, who will wear No. 5 today, said earlier this week that he expects to be the starting running back. Rivals.com continues to list him as the nation's top senior running back. He has given Miami (Fla.) an oral commitment but also said Oregon is a possibility for college.

The three-time Wichita Eagle Top 11 selection is the City League's career rushing leader and owns the top three single seasons in league history.

Brown prepares for stars

KIRK SEMINOFF — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 01:37 CST

Bryce Brown said it didn't take long to show the other 44 guys on the U.S. Army All-American game's East squad that Kansas plays good high school football, too.

"I think I proved it in my first practice," Brown said in a phone interview Tuesday from San Antonio, where Saturday's noon game will be played (KSNW, Channel 3).

"I went out there and worked hard. It was the same thing I was doing on the City League fields."

Wichita's fields are still burning from Brown's 6,809 career rushing yards, including single-season records his final three years.

Brown said he'll be the starting running back Saturday. Announcers will note he's orally committed to Miami (Fla.), but another school remains in the running.

Voters gave us a shock

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 01:39 CST

Editor's note: "Best of 2008" spotlights standout moments in Kansas sports during the year.

Not much surprises me anymore. Maybe it's because I've been in the newspaper business for more than 12 years and I'm getting cynical. Maybe it's just because I'm getting older.

Whatever it is, Wichita voters surprised me on Nov. 4 by narrowly passing the $370 million school bond issue, which included $61 million for athletics.

I was out covering a high school football playoff game on election night, so when I came back into the office, I immediately asked about two things: the status of the presidential election and the proposed school bond issue.

When I was told that the bond issue had barely passed, I was stunned.

Prep standouts made first year one to remember

JONATHAN LONG — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 02:19 CST

Editor's note: "Best of 2008" spotlights standout moments in Kansas sports during the year.

I knew two things about Wichita when I arrived last March -- both related to Wichita State.

I remembered the success of the Shocker baseball teams of the 1990s and the basketball team's Sweet 16 run in 2006. I'm pretty sure I had the Shockers there in my bracket.

But prior to my arrival to cover high school sports, I was told football was one of the best parts of the beat. I wasn't disappointed.

Carroll rallies to win tourney

MATT BROWNING — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 01:39 CST

At its own tournament Saturday, the Bishop Carroll wrestling team was in an uncommon position.

The Eagles weren't winning.

After the 145-pound final, Andale led Carroll by 3 ½ points; the lead grew to 6 ½ after the 150 final.

Then the Eagles came up with clutch performances from a former state champion and a couple up-and-coming wrestlers to win the team title.

Kyle Detmer, who won the Class 5A 152-pound class two years ago, defeated Heights' Chase Nelson at 160 to start the Eagles' rally. Capping off the comeback were consecutive pins by Devon Keith at 171 and Luke Hirschler at 189 to give Carroll 148 points, 1 ½ better than Andale.
