Accident on Davis Road

    A rollover accident at 5:33 a.m. in the 6000 block of N.W. Davis Road sent one person to a Topeka hospital by American Medical Response ambulance, authorities said.
    The injured person, described only as a juvenile male who was driving the vehicle, suffered a possible head injury, said Shawnee County sheriff’s Cpl. Kelly Jordan.
    Upon arrival at the accident scene just northeast of Rossville, sheriff’s deputies located a Ford F-250 pickup truck that sustained “significant damage” as it rolled over and came to rest off the roadway, Jordan said.
    The cause of the accident remains under investigation. The identity of the driver, who was alone in the pickup, wasn’t immediately released.

Duane Zlatnik on All Big 12 Team

    KU Jayhawks offensive lineman Duane Zlatnik, a senior from Rossville, was AP honorable mention for the All Big 12 Football Team for this year.

Wrestling Team Outlook

   Wrestling coach Curt Brecheisen once again has a strong squad gearing up for this year.  The top returners include junior Tagen Lambotte who is a two time state champ in the 145 class who finished with a 34-1 record last year.    Senior Cody Cooper finished well at the state tournament and compiled an 18-13 record last year in the 285 class.  Jacob Gentry in the 126 pound class was another of the top wrestlers last year.  Sophomore Nick Reesor missed the latter part of the season last year after starting with a very promising 22-7 record.
    SM South transfer Skylar Olson is expected to provide a good boost to the squad's success this year  as he was a 6A state qualifier last year.
