Pike Valley Cross Country

"WINDY!!!"...That would be the most used adjective to describe our meets this week at Phillipsburg on Thursday, October 6 and Saturday, October 8. We had very competitive races both days in windy, hilly conditions. It was especially hilly and windy at Phillipsburg on Thursday, where five girls ran. Courtney Freed was 6th, Peyton Baxa was 19th, Michelle Davis was 30th, and Tracy Garman was 42nd. These girls competed well. Times did not show how well they ran due to the conditions. Additionally, 8th grader Geni Stainbrook ran the 3000m race in 15:56 to win the girls JH race!

The Pike Valley Boys kept things going on Saturday by winning the Riley County Invitational on the gently rolling hills of the Leonardville Golf Course. There were 137 Boys runners. Kameron Blanding led the Panthers with a fine 4th place finish. After a nasty fall down a hill and being accidentally stepped on and kicked in the head with about 1200m to go, Caden Callaway came back to finish 5th. Cole Callaway placed 12th, Quinton Isaacson was 17th, while Dallas Looper was 21st. Logan Burt was actually 31st, while Robert Cox placed 84th. Ty Bivens was 88th and Casey Jensen finished in 121st place.

The Pike Valley Girls had great races as all four had season-best times! Peyton Baxa was 33rd in 18:56, Courtney Cox was 37th in 19:11, Michelle Davis was 49th in 20:15, and Tracy Garman was 79th in 24:49. All these girls have run multiple races in the last two weeks as we prepare for the post-season.

Geni Stainbrook placed 11th in the JH Girls 1-Mile Run in 7:19 to complete her 8th grade season.

It was a busy and productive week for Pike Valley Cross Country as we gear up for the Northern Plains League Meet/Lakeside Invitational at Downs Country Club on Thursday, October 13. Girls race begins at 4 p.m. and we encourage as many fans as possible to attend.

The Panthers will be going to the Class 1A Regional at Wheatland-Grinnell HS in Grainfield (187 miles from Scandia) on October 22. Girls race at 2 p.m. and Boys at 2:30 p.m.

Jr Buffs fall to Beloit

The Republic County Junior High football team hosted Beloit in their final home game of the 2011 season on September 22. Derek Vanous got the Buffs on the board first with a strong run from 40 yards, but it was all Beloit after that, with the Trojans winning 36-6. "Against their double wing offense, you have to be very disciplined on defense," said coach Eric Allgood. "We had a couple breakdowns early, and couldn't find an answer on offense." The Trojan defense played inspired football, holding the Buffs offensive attack under 150 yards. "This is a good game for the guys to find out what we're made of, to see if we can get back up after a tough loss like this."

The Buffs travel to Salina to take on Sacred Heart Thursday, September 29. Kickoff is at 5pm, with a 5th quarter to follow.

Jr Buffs 1-1 on season

The Republic County Junior High football team opened the season on September 1 with a home game against Southeast of Saline. A stout defense and big play offense are always good combinations, as the Buffs rolled to a 28-0 win. “The offensive line did a great job coming off the ball, and Tucker Allen at tight end had some great blocks to spring our backs for big gains,” said first year head coach Eric Allgood. Defensively, the Buffs held the visiting Trojans to just 8 yards on 23 plays. “William McNemar and Derek Vanous on the ends played as well as we could ask them, and combined for 5 sacks.”

In the B team game, Trevor Lowell accounted for 2 touchdowns, including taking the second half kickoff back for a touchdown, as the Buffs held on for a 16-14 win. “For most of these guys it was their first game experience, and I was very proud of the way they handled themselves.” Mikel Cottenmyre made some plays up front on defense, and Justin Allen had a deflection that Trevor Lowell intercepted to seal the win.


On September 8, NCAA foe Minneapolis came to Belleville to tangle with the Buffs. The Lions were the ones to make the big plays on offense this time, winning 30-20. “Despite giving up big plays early, I was happy with the way the guys fought back. We gave ourselves a chance in the 4th quarter, but just couldn’t find the plays we needed.” With Minneapolis up 14-0 after snapping the ball just twice, Derek Vanous ripped off touchdown runs of 77 and 10 to get the Buffs within 2 at half time.

Minneapolis opened up their lead to 30-12 midway through the 3rd quarter, before the Buffs made their charge. A 13 play drive ended in a 5 yard run by Tyler Popelka. On the ensuing Minneapolis possession, the Buff defense forced a bad punt snap out of the end zone, cutting the score to 30-20. The Buffs received the kick near midfield, but were unable to generate any offense, and turned the ball over on downs.

The Junior Buffs travel to Superior, NE to take on the Wildcats on Thursday, September 15. Kickoff is set for 5:00pm

Blake Swihart, c, Cleveland HS (NM)



Cleveland High School baseball star Blake Swihart got a last minute call from the Boston Red Sox, one minute before the signing deadline.

The Red Sox convinced Swihart to come play professional baseball for their organization rather than attend the University of Texas.

It took a $2.5 million signing bonus to help convince him, but it worked.

"That's life changing money," said Swihart.

The Red Sox drafted the switch hitting catcher in the first round. He wanted to play for his dream school in Austin but said the money was too good to pass up.

Swihart now leaves for Fort Myers, Florida to begin his pro career.

Blake's dad Arlen was a graduate of Concordia High School, and then went on to play basketball at Cloud County Community College.

Pike Valley DP girls Champions!


Pike Valley Lady Panthers 10 and under Designated Pitch Softball Team completed their 3rd straight undefeated season by claiming their 3rd Belleville City Recreation League Title.
2011 was a dream season for 10 year olds, Brailyn Carlgren, Mekenzie Ehlers, Tory Isaacson, Kinzey Langston, Gentry McGregor and Karisma Vignery. They started calling their coach in March; all of them had the same question “When is softball practice?”
This would be the final season of Designated Pitch Softball for these young ladies, and they had set a goal as a group. Pull off the most difficult feat in any sport, not only winning their 3rd straight title, but to go undefeated for the 3rd straight year as well.
Joining them in their quest were team mates from the previous championships, Brianna Sjolander, Jessica Jensen, Cajsa Carlgren, Taylor Swanson, Kaylee Bray, and  Natalee Bray. And 4 new faces,  Josiah Field, Kaylee Larson, NaNa Johnson, and Khloe Langston.
After a couple of months of practice the team started the season in June, winning the first game of the year on the road. They then won 2 games at home, before finishing the season with 4 straight road wins and the Championship. Although many games saw 1 or 2 girls gone for different events over the summer the girls all pulled together and filled in to put together a memorable season winning all 7 games by at least 6 or more runs. They even managed to turn a double play or two during the season. They learned how to work together in a run down or “Pickle”,  although unsuccessful at getting the runner out, they were all very excited that they knew how to do it. Everyone hit the ball very well, with all girls scoring at least 8 runs apiece. Knocking coach down with a line drive always brought a smile to their faces.
Their coaches were, Troy Isaacson, Bob Sjolander, Allison Carlgren, and Brandi Bray
Coach Isaacson was often overheard telling anyone who would listen, “These young ladies make my job as a coach easy, they always come prepared to learn, and have fun playing softball. They have been a joy to coach and I really appreciate how they help each other with everything, and play so well as a team. We try to emphasize that in the beginning, and these girls have really bought into that. I hardly ever see them squabble on or off the field. They truly are a Team and for the most part I believe they are all  friends as well. Of course a lot of the credit for their success should go to their parents and even the grandparents as well, getting them to practice and games, playing catch or throwing batting practice, all this is made possible through their hard work and dedication to the kids. We will definitely miss the leadership of the 6 girls moving up to Junior girls next year, but with the valuable experience the other 10 girls gained and a few new faces as well, coupled with the desire and talent they have, I know we can be just as successful next year. Go Lady Panthers!”

BUFF Strong, Week 5

This past week we had 2 people receive the BUFF Strong Award.  Jeff Hadachek and Lane Shoemaker both have show consistent effort and focus throught the past 5 weeks of the program. They are both similar in that they are more the silent leader.  They put their heads the the grindstone and simple do the work to improve themselves.  They are consistently respectful of the leaders of the program and of their teammates.  Congrats to Jeff and Lane for their consistent BUFF Strong effort. 
Thanks Eric for recongnizing our student athletes!

Lady Buffs softball @ Regionals

The Lady Buffs defeated Minneapolis 17-5 in the first round of Regionals!

Darsha Bechard was in the circle for the Lady buffs and did well with 9 K and 5 BB. The Lady buffs defense was solid with only 3 errors on the night. The night came be summed up by saying we came to hit tonight and hit we did. We had 15 hits on the game and that is awesome for this team. Minneapolis had beaten us twice during the regular season but tonight it was all about hitting the ball and running the bases well. I said it the other day to a group of people- for me this was an easy game to get ready for because if you cant get excited to play a league team that has beaten you twice then you must be dead. We know if we played well that we could play with Minneapolis the number 2 seed in regional but to handle them like we did felt good. We had 5 players hit over 500 on the night. A good group effort from the plate allowed us to relax a bit on defense.




We play Riley County Tuesday- they are a very good ball team that we were eliminated last year from regional by and we hope to come out and play them well. They are defending regional champs and knocked of Rock Creek which is very solid ball team. Beloit and Marysville round out the top of the bracket and winners from both games will face off for a birth to state tournament.

An update from the Bethany Swedes

Just wanted to send you an update on Colton and the Bethany Swedes.  They are now playing in the KCAC tournament.  The Swedes won last night defeating St. Marys in overtime 69 to 66.  They now will play McPherson on Saturday at 2 in McPherson.  The Swedes are the 3 seed and McPherson is the 2 seed.  If they win they will advance to the KCAC championship which will be played Monday in Wichita at Harman Arena.  Another note on Colton, he is Second in the KCAC in assist to turnover ratio.  The last we knew he was 35th in the nation.  Just wanted to catch you up.  Thanks.
