Johnson was tackled at the 1-yard line with a few seconds on the clock. Waterer plunged in for the game-winning touchdown on the very next play. It was Waterer’s first carry of the season.

Jennifer Lee Darting, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away on September 15, 2024, in Rossville, Kansas, at the age of 55. Born on March 19, 1969, in Topeka, Jennifer was a vibrant presence in the lives of those who knew her.
Jennifer's career as a cook in the school kitchen was deeply intertwined with her passion for nurturing children. This role allowed her to foster her love of children, where she created lasting connections with students of all ages. Her dedication to ensuring that every child had a nutritious meal exemplified her caring nature. In addition to her work in the school, Jennifer also took on part-time hours in the after-school program, furthering her commitment to the well-being and enhancement of children's lives. She enjoyed every moment spent in her sister's daycare as a substitute, often delighting in the opportunity to read captivating stories to the children from the library.
Educated at Silver Lake High School, from which she graduated in 1987, Jennifer carried a bright spirit throughout her life. Her radiant personality was characterized by an ever-present smile and an innate ability to engage in lengthy conversations with strangers, quickly turning them into friends. Jennifer was a joy to be around, filling rooms with laughter and warmth, and creating cherished memories with her family while cooking large meals alongside her sister.
Her love for reading was another significant part of her identity; she could often be found immersed in a book for hours, never allowing herself to go long without diving into another story. Additionally, her affection for animals was apparent in her home, where she lovingly cared for six cats.
Jennifer's pride in her family, especially her role as a mother, was profound. She experienced the joys of motherhood when she welcomed her daughter, Jocelyn, into the world at the age of 40. Raising Jocelyn was one of her proudest accomplishments, and her love for her daughter knew no bounds.
Jennifer is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Jocelyn Darting; her father, Gerry Darting; her sister and brother-in-law, Sarah and Bryant Presley; her partner, Domingo Osorio; and her cherished nieces and nephews, Jeff, Jonah, Abigail, Anna, Isabel Escobar and Carrigan Presley. She is predeceased by her mother, Judy Darting.
As we reflect on the beautiful life of Jennifer Lee Darting, we celebrate the joy she brought to those around her, her unwavering compassion for children, and her ability to connect with others in meaningful ways. Her legacy of love, laughter, and kindness will endure in the hearts of her family and friends forever.
Memorial contributions can be made to Bank of the Flint Hills in care of Jocelyn Darting. All proceeds will go towards Jocelyn's future needs.
Funeral services are pending and will be announced at a later date.
