The Green Wave scored on a five play drive when Pratt found Tyrick James at the goal line. K-State had turned the ball over on downs at the 48, one of five times they failed to convert…
Although construction has already begun on the Tracz Family Band Hall at K-State, the community celebrated the future home of the band on Friday. Instead of the typical shovels for the ground-breaking, the demolition of a wall was started.

Tracz says band members have other responsibilities such as attending classes, so…
