- Northwest Missouri athletes suit up for all-star game
- Friday, July 25, 2008
- Even though they’ll never suit up for Trenton again, Wes Croy’s former players haven’t received any favorable treatment leading up to the Missouri Lions All-Star Football Game.
“Certainly not,” Croy said. “I’m probably harder on them than anybody.”
After a week of strenuous practices, six Trenton graduates will compete for the West team in today’s game, slated to begin at 7:30 p.m. at Walton Stadium in Warrensburg — along with a smattering of representatives from across Northwest Missouri.
Reigning News-Press Offensive Player of the Year De’Andre Vandevender, who leaves for the University of Northern Iowa in a week and a half, should feel right at home running behind former teammates Kyle Hoyt and Ethan Tabbert — both bound for Missouri Western. Griffon-to-be Mitch Giger, a North Platte grad, adds additional size to a beefy set of blockers. - POWER SURGE: Royals hit 'em out in June
- Friday, July 18, 2008
- KANSAS CITY — As the crowd thundered its approval, David DeJesus endured a violent and lengthy congratulation from his teammates at Kauffman Stadium last week. It was hard to blame the mob assembled at home plate for its enthusiasm. After all, it had been waiting awhile for such an opportunity. With his last-gasp blast in the ninth inning, the Royals’ veteran outfielder ended the team’s three-year drought without a walk-off home run — the first since April of 2005. His 10th long ball of the year assured them a fourth-place spot going into the All-Star break.

- Friday, July 4, 2008
- In the past two weeks, the Big 7 League just got a lot smaller.

The moves won’t take effect until the 2010-11 school year but leave Hiawatha, Sabetha and Nemaha Valley in a precarious position. - For Gallagher and Vollmer, summer is no time to rest
