MANHATTAN, Kan. (K-State Athletics) – Seven strikeouts over six innings from starter Owen Boerema and a two-run homer by Roberto Pena led K-State to a 3-2 victory over No. 14 Texas Tech at Tointon Family Stadium on Friday night.

That meant as Republican leaders pondered a final push Friday on the last day of the Legislature’s annual session, supporters never…
As transgender people have increasingly gained acceptance and visibility, conservative lawmakers have zeroed in on restricting their rights: keeping transgender children off girls’ sports teams and out of certain bathrooms, and blocking them from receiving gender-affirming medical care. In response, a growing number of Democratic-controlled states have moved to protect such rights, especially access to gender-affirming care. In developments this week, one governor is telling lawmakers they’ll have to return for a special session if they fail to pass some restrictions, two others signed protections into law and a transgender lawmaker was barred from a Statehouse floor amid a standoff…
