Broncos put up 82 pointsThe host Broncos put a pounding on the Lions, routing them 82-0 in a game that was called at halftime due to the 45-point mercy rule. The Kansas State High School Activities Association mandates that games are played through the first half, regardless of the score. Still, the teams used a running clock in the second quarter after Cedar Vale took a 46-0 lead.

Coming Soon! We will soon be able to have an audio message for you to listen to when you visit the site. If you have something you would like to have broadcast, contact us.
We received the following in an e-mail today and think that it is a wonderful idea so we are passing it on. September 11th, 2009 In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds So, here's what we need you to do . (1) Send this to everyone you know. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you. (2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day. If you forward this email and those people do the same ... you get the idea. Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless |
