Junction City Middle School 8^th grade boys A-team moved to 6-2 on the season with a win over Ft. Riley 52-37.  After a close first half that found City Middle trailing 14-11 they hit the floor in the second half focused and were able to quickly take the lead and hold it for the rest of the game.

City Middle was lead in scoring by Jeremiah Bisio with 16 points and J’Lin Powell adding 13 points.  In the B-game City Middle again worked to a win beating Ft. Riley 32-13.  Kazierick Smith had 10 points and James Slyvester added 8 points.

Both teams will be in action on Tuesday at home vs Washburn Rural with a 3:30 p.m. tipoff.  Thursday the Middle School Centennial League Tournament begins with Junction City Middle School hosting Emporia at home in first round action at 3:30 p.m.  The winner of the game will advance to the Championship bracket on Saturday February 20^th at Shawnee Heights Middle School with the loser dropping to the Consolation bracket played at the same site.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Former Kansas State offensive linemanCody Whitehair and fullbackGlenn Gronkowski were among the 300-plus players invited to the 2016 NFL Combine, Feb. 23-29, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, the National Football League announced Thursday afternoon.

The invites mark the fourth-straight season K-State has sent multiple players to the most vital event on the path to the NFL Draft. Last season, wide receiver/kicker returner Tyler Lockett and center B.J. Finney were invited to the combine. Lockett, who was drafted in the third round by the Seattle Seahawks, went on to earn a spot in the Pro Bowl as a rookie, while Finney was on the practice squad for the Pittsburgh Steelers this past season.

Prior to last year, two Wildcats – long snapper Marcus Heit and offensive lineman Cornelius Lucas – went to the combine, while five players – linebacker Arthur Brown, place kicker Anthony Cantele, wide receiver Chris Harper, quarterback Collin Klein and fullback Braden Wilson – worked out in the 2013 edition.

Both Whitehair and Gronkowski participated in the Reese’s Senior Bowl two weeks ago after All-Big 12 seasons in 2015. Whitehair was a four-time All-Big 12 performer and two-year team captain who played in 52 career games with 51 starts, including the final 26 of his career at left tackle. An honorable mention selection for the 2015 Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year award, the Abilene, Kansas, native was on the watch lists for the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Awards each of the last two seasons.

Whitehair has been projected as a first- or second-round draft pick by many publications, while NFL Network Draft Analyst Mike Mayock rated Whitehair as the top offensive guard available in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Gronkowski, who earned All-Big 12 honors from the Associated Press as a redshirt junior last season, graduated from K-State and elected to declare for the NFL. Aside from being an excellent blocker, Gronkowski hauled in 15 catches for 369 yards and five touchdowns during his three-year career, while he rushed 11 times for 45 yards – including an 11-yard touchdown at Kansas – during his junior campaign.

On-field workouts for offensive linemen at the 2016 NFL Combine will be held on Friday, Feb. 26, while H-backs/tight ends will be on the field on Saturday, Feb. 27. Coverage of the combine will be on NFL Network and online at www.nfl.com/combine/live.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Senior Brian Rohleder was once again rewarded for his excellence in the classroom on Thursday, as he was one of six players named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District 7 Men’s Basketball First Team.

 

A 6-foot-3, 215-pound guard from Wichita, Kansas, Rohleder now advances to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.

 

An Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection as a junior, Rohleder has appeared in 19 games this season and 62 in his four-year career at K-State. He is averaging 0.1 points and 0.4 rebounds in 1.8 minutes per game.

 

A former walk-on, Rohleder was awarded an athletic scholarship for the 2015-16 season over the summer.

 

The mechanical engineering major and a product of Bishop Carroll High School has appeared on every Fall and Spring Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll since his freshman season in 2011-12, including earning a perfect 4.0 GPA during the Spring 2015 semester. A two-time President of the K-State Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and current student-athlete representative on the President’s Advisory Committee on Athletics, he has won or shared the team’s Keith Amerson Academic Award each of the past four years.

 

Kansas State (14-10, 3-8 Big 12) returns to action on Saturday with a trip to Stillwater, Okla., to face Oklahoma State (11-13, 2-9 Big 12) at noon CT on ESPNews.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Perry Ellis had 21 points, Landen Lucas pulled down a career-high 16 rebounds and No. 6 Kansas beat No. 10 West Virginia 75-65 on Tuesday night to forge a three-way tie atop the Big 12.

Frank Mason III added 14 points for the Jayhawks (20-4, 8-3), who handled the Mountaineers’ pressure well in avenging a loss lost month in Morgantown that had them playing catch-up in the league race.

Now, they are tied with the Mountaineers (19-5, 8-3) and No. 3 Oklahoma (20-3, 8-3) as they pursue their 12th consecutive championship. All three teams have seven games remaining.

Devin Williams had 14 points and nine rebounds, and Jaysean Paige also had 14 points for the Mountaineers – though their leading scorer was just 5 of 16 from the field.
