(Courtesy K-State Sports Information) K-State built a 12-point second half advantage at Marist on Thursday night and needed every point to hold off the Red Foxes, 57-56, at a near sold out McCann Arena. The Wildcats concluded its non-conference schedule with a 9-3 mark. K-State was led on Thursday night by the trio of Jalana Childs, Brittany Chambers and Tasha Dickey. Childs tied for game-high honors with 21 points and hauled in a game-high nine rebounds. Chambers registered 15 points, six rebounds and three assists. Dickey finished the night with 13 points, six rebounds and three steals. Marist (5-6) was…
SAN ANTONIO (AP) Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III didn’t dazzle but Baylor still pulled out a thrilling Alamo Bowl victory in the highest-scoring bowl game in history, beating Washington 67-56 in a record-smashing shootout Thursday night. If this was RG3’s last showcase before the NFL, it was a gripping goodbye to watch. One of the nation’s most electrifying players was upstaged by an even more dazzling game that shattering the previous record for points in regulation set in the 2001 GMAC Bowl. Griffin had an unremarkable night, throwing just one touchdown pass and running for another. But Terrance…
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Casey Wiegmann will make his 175th straight start when the Chiefs face the Denver Broncos on Sunday, adding to an iron man streak of consecutive snaps that already stands at 11,102. Both are the longest active streaks by NFL offensive linemen. It might also be the end of the streak for the laconic Iowa farm boy. The 38-year-old Wiegmann contemplated retirement last season and he is clearly considering life after football. If Sunday’s game is the end, a streak on par with Brett Favre’s consecutive starts by an NFL quarterback or Cal Ripken Jr.’s consecutive…

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Abortion opponents in Kansas aren’t resting after a string of legislative victories at the start of Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration. But the proposals they’ll pursue most aggressively in 2012 aren’t likely to be as eye-catching. Anti-abortion leaders in the Republican-controlled Legislature say they want to strengthen legal protections for health care professionals who want to avoid participating in abortions or dispensing abortion-inducing drugs. They hope to prevent even indirect taxpayer support for abortions. Some abortion opponents anticipate interest in trying to prohibit abortion after the first detectable fetal heartbeat or a measure declaring that life begins when…
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback continues to give truck drivers some relief from state regulations if they’re hauling hay to livestock in drought-stricken areas. Brownback has extended an executive order suspending some trucking regulations until Jan. 27. The governor began providing the relief in October.

The order applies both when truckers are transporting hay within Kansas and when they’re driving through Kansas to deliver hay in Oklahoma and Texas. However, the latest…
