Bill Snyder is still waiting for his team to put together a “complete” football game. His wait to make history, however, is over. Big plays from Kansas State’s defense led the way in the Wildcats’ 34-19 victory over rival Kansas Saturday, giving Snyder his 200th win as a coach. “I probably don’t sound like I’m in a good mood, and that’s responsive to how we played,” Snyder said. “We played rather ugly, and I don’t feel good about that, I assure you.” K-State (7-4, 5-3 Big 12) wasn’t sharp offensively for much of the afternoon, and had to rotate Joe…

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Immigration officials say a Dallas woman accused of killing a mother and abducting her baby was living in the country illegally when she was released from a Kansas jail this summer before federal authorities could request she be detained in connection with a previous kidnapping incident. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Wednesday it did not receive the July 25 arrest list from the sheriff’s office showing Yesenia Sesmas’ name until the following day. By then the Mexican national had been released. The agency says it would have asked she be held if it had been advised…
The newly-completed Wamego Area Veteran’s Memorial was dedicated on a bright, sunny afternoon in Wamego City Park on Sunday, with a large crowd of Gold Star families and veterans in attendance. This memorial was the vision of American Legion Post 172 Commander Gary McCloud, and some of the Legion Riders who saw other memorials as they participated in veteran’s funerals. This vision has taken over three years of dedicated work and fundraising to see Wamego’s memorial to completion. The bronze sculpture “Duty Calls” was produced by Charlie and Carson Norton, has come home, and faces the granite memorial wall with 91 names of…

We weren’t as active as I wanted us to be.” The Wildcats…
