The duo of Courtney Winkley and Jordan Musselman helped Washburn Rural overpower the Junction City Lady Jays 52-31 in the first round of the Class 6A Substate Basketball Tournament at Rural Wednesday night.

Winkley scored 20 points and Musselman 18 for Washburn Rural, with many of those points coming in and around the paint area.

Junction City coach Nate Parks noted his team had a game plan to slow the Washburn Rural pair down, but couldn’t execute it.  Winkley was a force with the inside game. The Lady Jays did not match up with her very well. “She’s a force inside. It’s going to take a team to try to slow her down, and our help side didn’t show up tonight so she just had a field day in there.”

Junction City was led by Akia Fain with 12 points while Kori Kamm had eight for the Lady Jays, who finish the season 5-16.  Washburn Rural ( 14-7 ) will play in the substate tournament championship game Friday night against Topeka High, who defeated Derby in first round substate action 57-47 in overtime.

The Junction City Lady Jays will play at Washburn Rural in the opening round of their Class 6A Substate Basketball Tournament Wednesday night.

This will be the second meeting of the season between the two teams. Washburn Rural won an earlier matchup in February at the Shenk Gym at Junction City High School 55-37.

The winner of the Junction City – Washburn Rural contest will play the winner of the Topeka High – Derby game on Friday night in the substate championship game.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) – Kansas City Royals right-hander Luke Hochevar likely will miss at least the first two months of the season because of a sprained ligament in his right elbow.

Hochevar, the first pick in the 2006 amateur draft, felt something unusual in the elbow during his next-to-last pitch Monday in a two-inning outing against the Chicago White Sox, according to manager Ned Yost.

The sprain was revealed in an MRI taken Tuesday.

Yost said Wednesday Hochevar won’t throw for two-to-three weeks and “probably the best-case scenario” would be a return at the end of May or early June.

Hochevar was 5-2 with a 1.92 ERA and two saves in 58 relief appearances last year and was a candidate for the final rotation slot this season. He is earning $5.21 million and is eligible for free agency after the season.

Junction City High School senior Micah Felton finished second in the 170 pound weight class at the Class 6A State Wrestling Tournament. That performance followed championships in the Centennial League and Class 6A Regional Wrestling Tournaments in the 170 pound weight class.

The Kansas State women’s basketball team couldn’t quite clinch their final season game against TCU last night in Bramlage Coliseum. K-State (11-18, 5-13 Big 12) and TCU (17-12, 8-10) traded leads back and forth the entire game, with freshman Kindred Wesemann of K-State leading the team with 13 points.

According to kstatesports.com, the teams traded leads nine times in the first half alone, but ended the half up by 4. Both teams struggled to score in the second half, but TCU would take the lead and keep late in the game.

K-State’s next game will be in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma for the 2014 Phillips 66 Big 12 Championships. The Wildcats will play Kansas in the third Sunflower Showdown of the season. The game will be Friday, March 7 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. The game will be broadcast by Fox College Sports, and the tip off is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – Phil Forte matched a season high with 23 points to help Oklahoma State defeat Kansas State 77-61 on Monday night.

Marcus Smart scored 18 points and Markel Brown added 15 for the Cowboys, who followed their victory over Kansas by winning their fourth straight. Brown, a senior, and Smart, a sophomore, played their final home games for the Cowboys. Smart will declare early for the NBA Draft.

Oklahoma State is unbeaten since Smart returned from a three-game suspension for shoving a Texas Tech fan. Smart was strong in the second half for the third straight game, scoring 16 points after halftime before checking out with 1:32 remaining.

Thomas Gipson had 10 points and 13 rebounds and Wesley Iwundu added 10 points and 10 rebounds for Kansas State, which had won three of four and was coming off a home win over Iowa State.

Fourteen Kansas State football players have been named player representatives for the 2014 season, according to head coach Bill Snyder.

They include Dante Barnett, Travis Britz, Jack Cantele, Dalton Converse, Randall Evans, B.J. Finney, Weston Hiebert, Tyler Lockett, Ryan Mueller, Curry Sexton, Boston Stiverson, Jonathan Truman, Jake Waters, and Cody Whitehair.

The role of these leaders will be to promote those traits which they each possess: unselfishness, team concepts, unity, strong work habits, great attitude, and a strong commitment toward achieving success through the team’s 16 goals.

Kansas State begins spring practices on Wednesday, April 2, and will conclude with the Purple / White Spring Game on Saturday, April 26.

Kanssas State got a season-high 38 points from its reserves to run the Wildcat home court winning streak to a Bramlage Coliseum record 15 games with an 80-73 win over No. 15 / 17 Iowa State Saturday night.

The win gave K-State ( 20-9, 106 Big 12 ) 20 for a school-record eighth consecutive season and 10 in conference play for the fifth straight season.

The 15-game home court winning streak is the longest at a home venue since the Wildcats rattled off 20 in a row at Ahearn Field House from Jan. 28, 1981 to Jan. 30, 1982. The squad is now one win away from going unbeaten at home in league play for the first time since the 1974-75 team went 7-0 in Big Eight play.

Senior Shane Southwell led Kansas State in the win over Iowa State with 13 points, including four 3-point gield goals. Junior Thomas Gipson and sophomore D. J. Johnson each added 12 points. Freshmen Marcus Foster and Wesley Iwundu both had 11 points in the contest.

Kansas State plays at Oklahoma State on Monday night at 8 p.m., and they will host Baylor on Senior Day Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
