Hays Monarchs' coach Dustin Schumacher missed Friday's home doubleheader against Hoisington Legion because of the rehearsal dinner for his brother Derek's wedding Saturday.
However, little else changed for the Monarchs. Hays, known for its strong fundamental play, throwing strikes and consistently reaching base without much power, rolled past Hoisington, 7-0 and 10-1, in arguably the team's best doubleheader of the summer.
The second game was called after five innings because of the run rule. Hays moved to 13-9, 3-1 against Hoisington, while Hoisington dropped to 9-8. Assistant coach Clint Brown helped run the team.
"We played better tonight than we have played them previous," senior shortstop Shane Zimmerman, the team's most experienced player, said. "I wasn't too surprised. We don't always put up big runs, but we got the hits when we needed to."
In Game 1, Hays collected 10 hits and just one double. Hoisington had one error, but had several other defensive miscues that helped the Monarchs.
Hoisington's two pitchers combined for 11 walks. The Monarchs' Taylor Rome (1-1) worked 6.2 innings and allowed no runs on four hits with five strikeouts and five walks.
"He is a good pitcher," Zimmerman said. "Throws strikes and can work out of situations when he gets in them."
Hays scored three runs in the second and third innings. In the second, the Monarchs took advantage of a walk and an infield single that likely should have yielded a force out at second. Then, Rome hit into a force play at second, but Hoisington shortstop Trent Schremmer threw the ball into the dugout when he tried for the double play at first.
Taylor Wasinger reached on a dropped flyball. Liam Stults and Cameron Brin followed with run scoring singles.
"Up until these two games, we have been playing well, we have been hitting the ball well," Hoisington coach Robert Brungardt said. "We just didn't execute tonight, the way we should have. That's the bottom line. It starts on the hill. If you can't throw strikes and get into a rhythm that way, then the defense gets on their heels, and we put ourselves in a big hole."
In the third, Ryan Schippers led off with a walk after Hoisington right fielder Clark Besthorn misplayed a fly ball in foul territory. Pierce Schippers, Rome, Wasinger, Stults and Brin followed with singles.
"They generally have good ABs," Brungardt said. "You don't generally see them going up there swinging at three bad balls. As you can see tonight, even when we got ahead in the count, 0-1, 0-2, they still battled to get us to 3-2 it seemed like tonight.
"That's the way they have always been," he added. "They have always been able to take a good approach at the plate and battle with two strikes and get a pitch that they like and put it in play. They don't necessarily have to hit it hard to get on base, but they put it in play and make us make the outs."
Hoisington, with four Claflin-Central Plains players, including starting second baseman Bryce Steiner, a Shrine Bowl selection and Ottawa University football signee, didn't have a hit until the third inning and had just two runners reach third base. Braiden Werth recorded the game's last out.
"We came out pretty relaxed today, so that was pretty good," Zimmerman said.
In Game 2, Hays had the first batters collect outs in the top of the first. Then, eight straight batters reached base on three singles, three walks and a two-run double to right-center field by Brin.
"We came out really hot in that second game," Zimmerman said.
For the summer, Hays carries a .319 team batting average, but has just a .393 slugging percentage with one homer.
However, the Monarchs have 116 walks to 97 strikeouts, a rarity among high school teams to have more strikeouts than walks. In the second, Hays tallied four runs on two hits, both singles, a walk, a reached on an error and two RBI groundouts. A single by Ryan Schippers took a bad hop off the infield on the shortstop side of second base and bounded into centerfield. TMP Field hasn't seen much use this year and the field is baked brown because of the drought.
"There is a lip there and if it catches it just right, then you are going to get a pretty nasty hop," Zimmerman said. "Most of the time, it is not too bad. You get some crazy hops now and then, but you get used to it after you practice on the field after awhile."
The team is batting .349 with runners in scoring position. Cameron Brin (4-1) pitched all five innings for the victory.
"I think it's just knowing that no one really has the power to hit the home run," Zimmerman said of the team's approach "... I think just the focus to get on base and do your job, you can get around and score. Do your job to help the team is I think what we focus on more."

Gen Y: Feathering the Nest

2. The entire master bedroom suite is off the kitchen, in its own separate wing, with its own private door to the pool area.
3. The pool and hot tub are inviting places to relax in the sun, or in the evening when the water is illuminated with multi-colored fiber-optic pool lighting.
4. Tucked at the front of the house is a cozy guest room with a cottage-like vibe. The casita is separate but not isolated: Kitchenette, bathroom, and a separate entrance mean that friends and family who come to stay can enjoy their own space. Depending on local zoning laws, a casita like this can also be rented out for extra income.

For young buyers stepping up from condo to detached home, architect Michael Woodley designed a one-story house with a simple, open floor plan and airy spaces that ring fresh, clean, and contemporary. And did we mention flexible? "Designing for this kind of buyer involves a different process," says Woodley. "It has to be an efficient house that can flex for kids, as well as a brother, sister, or parent." The house adapts beautifully to a young couple starting out with a baby in the near-term plan (or a new arrival). Yet the home accommodates much more. The front bedroom could be a guest room, but it also works as a child's room, or a bedroom for a roommate or sibling who has come to stay for a while. The adjoining den space can flex from TV room to yoga studio to baby's room. Could be there's a parent or grandparent who visits from afar, flying in once a year to be with the family for a month or more. With this in mind, Woodley included a detached guest casita with its own entrance off the front courtyard. The casita has a kitchenette and feels separate enough for privacy, but it's close enough to feel a part of the house. If one member of the household works from home, the office space adjacent to the kitchen and dining area is equipped with sliding doors that can be opened so there's connection to the rest of the house and to the view out back. But when it's time for concentration and conference calls, the doors close it off easily.
Like other homes in this multigenerational community by Centerline Homes, the house takes full advantage of its warm-weather locale, increasing the living space—and making 2,000 square feet feel much bigger—with telescoping sliding glass doors that open out to thoughtfully planned outdoor spaces. In the courtyard entryway, there's room to shoot hoops, as well as a peaceful spot to sit and read. Out back, the pool and hot tub areas are delineated by separate levels, making for a clean, open space that's great for gatherings. At night, the pool's alternating-color illumination adds a touch of drama in the form of a light show. The master bedroom and bathroom are separate enough from the rest of the house so there's plenty of privacy (check out the private door that leads from bedroom to pool area—perfect for a midnight dip).
Gen Y buyers may be a good 30 years younger than their Boomer counterparts, but Woodley noticed that these two groups have more in common with each other than with the Gen Xers in between them. While Gen Y is just getting started, Boomers may be starting to wind down: Both types of buyers likely have household incomes that are less than a dual-income Gen X couple. Sometimes called "bookenders," both generations probably have fewer people living with them full time, so they need less house. A compact, open plan home such as this one holds appeal for buyers at both ends of the spectrum.
Plan Y In this layout, the rooms spill gracefully into one another, resulting in a home that's open, airy, and efficient. The entire plan flexes beautifully for a growing family, for working at home, and for visiting relatives and friends.

2013 Honey Springs Battle Reenactment
November 8-10, 2013
The Honey Springs Battlefield Historic Site commemorated the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Honey Springs with a reenactment event November 8-10, 2013. The battle, fought July 17, 1863, was the most important engagement of the Civil War in Indian Territory.
Activities included battle reenactments featuring infantry, cavalry, and artillery; guided and self-guided tours of the camps; various demonstrations; living history programs; and sutlers.
About the Battle
The Battle of Honey Springs was the largest of more than 107 documented hostile encounters in the Indian Territory. The engagement took place between the 1st Division, Army of the Frontier, commanded by Maj. Gen. James G. Blunt and the Confederate Indian Brigade led by Brig. Gen. Douglas H. Cooper.
As part of an overall war plan, Federal forces invaded Confederate held Indian Territory. The Confederates established a supply depot 20 miles southwest of Fort Gibson at Honey Springs and made plans to drive the Federals from the area.
Union forces not awaiting attack marched out from Ft. Gibson and engaged the Confederate forces resulting in a major engagement fought on July 17, 1863, at Honey Springs. The battle consisted of a combined total of 9,000 soldiers comprised of Native Americans, African Americans, and Anglo Americans. The Federal victory opened the way for occupation of Fort Smith and the later Union victories in the Red River Valley.

quote:Brady had better recruiting classes every year at LSU.

quote:They BOTH quit on TJ.
quote:And please, give me an example of players who hated playing for Brady? please?
quote:I feel the same about you, if you actually do follow LSU ball, you must be stupid
quote:Coach TJ drove the program straight into the ground big guy.
quote:Arguing who was the better recruiter between Brady and Johnson is like arguing the smartest kid with down-syndrome
quote: Coleman was coming even if Johnson was still here.
quote:Louisiana, and Baton Rouge in particular, had an abundance of talent while Brady was the
quote:I'm not wasting time arguing you down on this one.
quote:I said POTENTIAL NBA draft pick, that means there is a possibility, open your eyes
quote:And no, John Brady was a large part of the final four run.
quote:O yea? What about Jaime Lloreda? Magnum Rolle? Regis Koundja?
quote:Anyway, the eye test shows how pathetic Coach Johnson was. At least Bradyball had an opportunity to do something special. Same with JJ. TJ just wasn't good enough bru
quote:I'm not wasting time arguing you down on this one. You mean you know you're absolutely wrong, and you hope ignoring that fact means nobody else will notice.
quote:So ONCE AGAIN, explain how Johnson took essentially the same team Brady had the year before that didn't make the NIT and made the +14 in the win column, +7 in conference, and brought them to the second round of the tournament.
quote:And o yea, why didn't we get Gathers from Riverside??? Didn't he say something like "Coach Johnson didn't show much interest in me"?
quote:This is obviously a case of a team starting over fresh and having something to fight for. It happens nearly every time a new coach starts over with another team, history has proven it.
quote:Ultimately who cares how much he saw him, he missed on him that's all that matters.
quote:don't care how many games he attended blah blah blah... He didn't do what he had to do to sign Gathers..
quote:Johnny Jones would have swayed him this way, almost no doubt in my mind.
quote:No, I mean I have more important things to do than trying to prove to you, or anyone else for that matter that I'm right.
quote:Wow, you just keep sinking to new lows. I'd LOVE if you could go find me an example of another team, in any sport, that fired its coach mid-season, played noticeably better after they fired him, then returned basically the same team the year after and improved by so much it's hard to even quantify it.
quote:Go ask Dayton fans what they think of those 2.
quote:And oh, btw. Tubberville wasn't fired mid-season, and nobody replaced Garrett after he took over for Wade Phillips or Woodson after D'Antoni. So youre 0/3 off the top of your head, might want to get that thing looked at.

It is one of the great cities of Germany and a major reference in the country. Hamburg since the medieval age, managed to earn fame for being one of the most important ports of the Old Europe. Today it is a magnificent city and with much more than corporate headquarters and banks.
It is located in Northern Germany and the most recent statistics show that is the second most populous city in the country and eighth in Europe. Here live nearly 1.8 million people in a metropolis that has become increasingly cosmopolitan by mixing two very important factors: the presence of one of the largest ports in the world and the many companies - national and international – Large-scale headquarters.In fact, Hamburg is situated on the banks of the Elbe and the city depends on these waters. Some people call it Venice of the North, due to the numerous canals that can be found here. But, for example, compared to the Italian city or the Dutch capital, Amsterdam has more bridges. In Hamburg, you can find more than 2,500 bridges that help the city to be more functional.Hamburg has two sides. On the one hand, the industrial side, on the other, a city with an innovative architecture, bold, green parks and a very cool environment. The temperatures are mild, with in the hot months from June to August the thermometer will mark between 20 and 22 degrees. From December to February, temperatures can go slightly below zero.

Almena-Northern Valley sophomore Kortney Cunningham had a personal best of 32 feet, 6 inches in the triple jump before Friday's Class 1A regional at Fort Hays State University. So Cunningham, who qualified third in the high jump, didn't have high expectations in the triple jump.
Bird-City Cheylin sophomore Allie Frisbie never had cleared 32-4.5 in the triple jump prior to Friday.
Winona-Triplains sophomore Shayna Rogge collected a fifth-place finish in the triple jump and also placed third in the 100-meter hurdles and sixth in the 300 hurdles at the state meet last year. Rogge entered with a season-best jump of 34-5.5 and wanted to qualify in all three events again.
WaKeeney-Trego Community senior Jerris Reeder had reached state in the triple jump all three years previous and earned back-to-back state medals.
However, those four jumpers engaged in a great battle for the third and fourth qualifying spots. Rogge eventually went from sixth to third when she jumped 34-4.75 on her final leap.
"I told myself, I just have to get myself psyched up, so I can jump further, and luckily it worked," Rogge said. "I felt like I jumped higher than what I had been."
Cunningham set personal bests on her final two attempts and broke the school record with a leap of 33-9.75 on her last jump to take fourth.
"I am probably about ready to cry right now, to be honest," a shocked Cunningham said. "I wasn't expecting to make in triple jump. So it kind of surprised me. Making it in both, it's pretty cool. Amazing."
Frisbie lept 33-6, a personal record by nearly 18 inches, to take fifth. Reeder finished in sixth in 33-5. Hoxie sophomore Carly Heim won in 36-2.25, while Dighton junior Leslie Speer, the defending state champion, was second in 34-6.
"The wind was good, of course, but then I finally hit the board," Heim said of her big mark on her third attempt.
After the three preliminary jumps, Heim and Speer had the top two marks, followed by Frisbie, Reeder, Rogge and Cunningham. Rogge's best prelim jump was 32-11, while Cunningham went 32-7.25.
"I have been beating her most meets," Rogge said of Frisbie. "When I saw she was ranked third and I was fifth, I was like, 'Got to step it up.' "
However, Rogge and Cunningham each had an injury. On Thursday, Rogge hurt her left ankle when she was swinging it and accidentally slammed it on the cement floor. Rogge felt soreness, but she put an insert inside her cleat and took some ibuprofen.
Cunningham had her left quad wrapped after she hurt it about two and a half weeks ago. The injury had improved, but the finals of triple jump ended a long day for Cunningham, the only one in high jump and long jump.
No changes occurred after the fourth jumps. Then, on the fifth leap, Cunningham went 33-4 to move into fourth. She displayed a big smile and exuded excitement after the attempt.
Two jumps later, Reeder went 33-5 to move into fourth, push Cunningham to fifth and Rogge sixth.
Then on the final attempt, Cunningham went farther again with her leap of 33-9.75 to move into third. That jump pushed Frisbie to fourth and Reeder to fifth.
Rogge was the next jumper. She went 34-4.75 to take third place. When she got out of the pit, Rogge momentarily stood next to the sand with a look of relief. Neither Reeder nor Frisbie could crack the top four on their final attempts.
"I haven't jumped very good this year, so just really exciting," Rogge said.
Afterward, a beaming Cunningham spent some time near the runway with family, still surprised at the turn of events. Cunningham said she had "no clue" she could ever jump that far.
"I just had to remember to keep running straight up and bring my knees up to reach further," she said. "I worked all week trying to get that figured out, and I finally got it.
Logan sprinters involved in two photo finishes
Logan sophomore Justice Bonner and junior Michaela Girard consistently had finished 1-2 in the 100-meter dash this year. Bonner took fourth at state in the event last year when she ran 13.03. However, Girard never had qualified in the 100.
Girard suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee in junior high, and then came back to qualify for state in long jump and 400 relay as a freshman. Last year, Girard tore her left knee in basketball and missed all of track.
"I'm not supposed to be at this speed, but I have been working pretty hard," Girard said. " ...I missed a lot of sports. That's like my life, so it was hard."
Bonner and Girard were involved in photo finishes in the 100 dash and 400 relay. In the 400 relay, Logan ran 53.19 and narrowly edged WaKeeney-Trego, which posted the same time.
"We didn't think that we were going to make it, so making it is pretty big," Girard said. "We were hoping."
In the 100, Atwood senior Taylor Leitner, ranked fourth after prelims, won in 13.42.
"I have never taken the 100 to state before, so got a good start and just kicked it," she said. "It was exciting."
Then Atwood sophomore Rohey Singhateh took second in 13.48. Girard was third in 13.54, Atwood sophomore Lexy Leitner was fourth in 13.55 and Bonner was fifth in 13.55.
The Atwood and Logan girls were uncertain who qualified. Girard and Bonner walked to the middle of the infield, turned and raised their arms in uncertainty to people in the stands.
"We were all nervous," Girard said. "We didn't know who made it."
"I just waited for their expressions," Lexy Leitner added. "I thought they made it."
After Bonner just missed out, she fell into tears.
"I think she took it pretty hard, but we made in the 4x1, so she still gets to go, so that will be OK," Girard said.
Then Girard qualified in the 200 when she finished third in 28.19.
"I didn't really expect to make it in the 100," Girard said. "I was more focused on the 200. It's been pretty cool."

Whaling fleet on the move
December 28, 2012 8:12PM
The Japanese whaling fleet, carrying armed Coast Guard officers, was on the move on Friday, local news reports said.
The factory ship Nisshin Maru, two harpoon ships, and another that has acted as security vessel for the fleet were heading out in Japan's Inland Sea, according to Kyodo news.
Already the whalers are weeks behind their usual departure time for the Antarctic.
In recent weeks the Nisshin Maru made several short forays from port following a refit for what are believed to have been sea trials.
"With the Coast Guard on board and the all vessels underway it appears that they are finally leaving," said Paul Watson, leader of the Sea Shepherd conservation group.
Mr Watson said he did not expect the whalers to each the Antarctic until 21 January at the earliest.
His group has four ships to meet the fleet, but has been restrained by a United States court from attacking the whalers.
JAPANESE whaling vessels have left port bound for the Southern Ocean on their annual hunt of the marine mammals, a media report and Greenpeace say.
Citing the Fisheries Agency, Kyodo News reported on Friday three vessels had departed from the far-western port of Shimonoseki, while environmental group Greenpeace said the mother ship had left another port also in the country's west.
"The mother ship, Nisshin Maru, left Innoshima today," said Greenpeace Japan's executive director Junichi Sato on Friday.
"Today was virtually the last day when they could leave for the Antarctic Sea," he said, adding that the fisheries agency had announced that the departure would take place within this month.
The mother ship would join the three vessels that left Shimonoseki earlier in the day, Kyodo said.
The fleet plans to hunt up to 935 Antarctic minke whales and up to 50 fin whales through March, the fisheries agency said earlier.
Digital Pass $1 for first 28 Days
Japanese authorities refused to confirm either departure to AFP.
"We do not disclose when the vessels leave or left for safety reasons," said an agency official said.
Coastguard officers will be aboard the ships to cope with possible harassment from anti-whaling activists, the coastguard and fisheries agency officials said earlier this month.
The fleet's departure comes weeks later than expected and days after a US court ordered militant environmental group Sea Shepherd to stay at least 500 yards (metres) from whaling vessels.
The injunction was ordered by the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in the latest step in a legal battle between the anti-whaling group and Japanese authorities over vessels in the Southern Ocean.
It said Sea Shepherd and Canadian militant conservationist Paul Watson, who is wanted by Interpol, "are enjoined from physically attacking any vessel engaged by plaintiffs", including Japan's Institute of Cetacean Research.
In addition, they are banned from "navigating in a manner that is likely to endanger the safe navigation of any such vessel", said the order, issued on Monday.
"In no event shall defendants approach plaintiffs any closer than 500 yards (460 metres) when defendants are navigating on the open sea," it added. The joint plaintiffs are Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha, Ltd., Tomoyuki Ogawa and Toshiyuki Miura.
It follows the issuing in August of an arrest notice by Interpol for Watson, Sea Shepherd's founder, who jumped bail in Germany in July.
He had been arrested there on charges from Costa Rica relating to a high-seas confrontation over shark finning in 2002.
In a statement on its website, Sea Shepherd called the new US court ruling "the first shot of the season" by Japanese whalers.
Confrontations between the whalers and activists have escalated in recent years, and the Japanese cut their hunt short in early 2011 due to Sea Shepherd harassment.

A bicuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve that only has two leaflets, instead of three.
The aortic valve regulates blood flow from the heart into the aorta, the major blood vessel that brings blood to the body.
Bicommissural aortic valve
The aortic valve allows oxygen-rich blood to flow from the heart to the aorta. It prevents the blood from flowing back from the aorta into the heart when the pumping chamber relaxes.
Bicuspid aortic valve is present at birth (congenital). An abnormal aortic valve develops during the early weeks of pregnancy, when the baby's heart develops. The cause of this problem is unclear, but it is the most common congenital heart disease . It often runs in families.
The bicuspid aortic valve may not be completely effective at stopping blood from leaking back into the heart. This is called aortic regurgitation. The aortic valve may also become stiff and not open up as well, causing the heart to have to pump harder than usual to get blood past the valve (aortic stenosis). The aorta may become enlarged with this condition.
This condition is more common among males than females.
A bicuspid aortic valve often exists in babies with coarctation of the aorta and other diseases in which there is a blockage to blood flow on the left side of the heart.
Most of the time, bicuspid aortic valve is not diagnosed in infants or children because it causes no symptoms. However, the abnormal valve can leak or become narrow.
Symptoms of such complications may include:
If a baby has other congenital heart problems, they may cause symptoms that will lead to the discovery of a bicuspid aortic valve.
Signs of a bicuspid aortic valve may include:
Tests that may show a bicuspid aortic valve include:
If the health care provider suspects complications or additional heart defects, other tests may include:
The infant or child may need surgery to repair a leaky or narrowed valve, if complications are severe.
A narrowed valve can also be opened through cardiac catheterization. A fine tube (catheter) is directed to the heart and into the narrow opening of the aortic valve. A balloon attached to the end of the tube is inflated, to make the opening of the valve larger.
Medicine may be needed to relieve symptoms or prevent complications.
Medications may include:
How well the baby does depends on whether complications of bicuspid aortic valve are present, and how severe they are.
The presence of other physical problems at birth also can affect how well a baby does.
Most babies with this condition have no symptoms, and the problem is not diagnosed until they are adults. Some people never find out that they have this problem.
Complications of bicuspid aortic valve include:
Call your health care provider if your baby:
Bicuspid aortic valves run in families. If you know of this condition in your family, speak to your health care provider before becoming pregnant. There is no known way to prevent the condition.
