A late Adrian Martinez fumble forced by Texas’ nose tackle Keondre Coburn was vacuumed up by linebacker Jaylan Ford and the Longhorns quelled a late K-State comeback to win Saturday night, 34-24, at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The Wildcats made the game uncomfortable for Texas by limiting them to just three second half points, but the damage was done as the Longhorns opened a 31-10 halftime lead. UT put up 352 yards of offense against a K-State defensive unit that was riding high after a shut out win over Oklahoma State the week previous. The Longhorns rode Bijan Robinson for…

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Both major parties say the Kansas governor’s race is a tossup in its last days as abortion politics, lingering ill will toward former Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and an independent conservative candidate make for a tighter-than-expected contest in the Republican-leaning state. Democratic incumbent Gov. Laura Kelly should be on the defensive as the only Democratic governor in the U.S. running for reelection in a state carried by former President Donald Trump in 2020. But a decisive statewide vote in August affirming abortion rights energized Democrats and moderates and boosted Kelly’s chance of holding the votes crucial to her…
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A mailer to voters across Kansas suggests removing state Supreme Court justices in Tuesday’s election would protect access to abortion, when abortion rights advocates want to keep them on the bench. The mailer’s return address says it is from VMCF Inc., of Lenexa, a Kansas City suburb. For a brief time in October, that was the legal name of a charitable foundation run by a prominent Republican direct mail firm’s owner, state records show. One side says “Kansans pushed back” against the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in late June to overturn Roe v. Wade. Voters in…

Jaylon Winans ran for almost 260 yards Thursday night and Rock Creek rallied from a double-digit deficit in the first half to advance in the 3A playoffs. The Mustangs claimed a 21-11 win over Hesston to win the regional title, but needed some big runs from their senior running back to turn the tide. Hesston built an 11-0 lead early in the second quarter, dominating the time of possession and capitalizing on a Dalton Whitworth interception thrown on the first snap of the ballgame. That turnover became three points for Hesston, who later scored on a pass tipped by Rock…

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes rarely says the wrong thing when he stands at the podium. He is poised and polished, in victory or defeat, and has carried himself in that professional manner since he joined the Kansas City Chiefs. So it speaks volumes of the lasting impression that the Titans’ 27-3 rout of the Chiefs last season had on him when the Pro Bowl quarterback was asked about it this week: “We weren’t ready,” Mahomes replied, “and they beat our (butt).” Only he used a three-letter word for derrière rather than a four-letter one. That’s about as close as…
OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A former elder in a Kansas City, Missouri, church was sentenced Thursday to life in prison for killing his wife, who was an associate pastor. Robert Lee Harris’ sentencing comes after he was found guilty in August of first-degree murder in the death of 38-year-old Tanisha Harris. Police went to the couple’s apartment in the suburb of Overland Park, Kansas, on Jan. 8, 2018, to investigate a report of a domestic disturbance. Officers found Robert Harris alone in the apartment and left. They returned when he reported his wife missing. Her body was found later near Raymore, Missouri.…
