Notes: The top-4 has solidified after each one has survived at least one tough test this season. Rossville beat Rock Creek, 58-57, in Week 2. Hoisington held off Halstead, 32-22, in a game that was much closer than the final score on Friday. Silver Lake defeated Riley County on a last-second two-point conversion in Week 3.

Nemaha Central lost to Sabetha, 29-22, in Week 3. Garden Plain, Republic County and Pittsburg Colgan all took defeats. Eureka, Humboldt and Maur Hill are all 3-0, but generally have played softer competition. Douglass and Syracuse are both 3-0 for the first time in at least 21 years. Douglass gets Garden Plain at home this week. Hutchinson Trinity took a big jump and has a quality Week 1 victory against Inman (2-1).
After its wild 58-57 win versus Rock Creek in Week 2, Rossville led 32-0 after the first quarter and easily defeated St. Marys, 67-12.

Next: vs. Oskaloosa (0-3)
Hoisington showcased its highly impressive depth in an entertaining 32-22 home victory versus Central Kansas League foe Halstead. The CKL teams rarely play each other. It marked the first regular season game since ’09, and Hoisington’s first victory since ’08. The seniors had not played each other since a Halstead win in seventh grade. The teams combined for one completion, and Hoisington outrushed Halstead, 388-338.

Next: vs. Phillipsburg (1-2)
Norton moved into the rankings for the first time this year after a 3-0 start. Norton beat Smith Center, 16-14, in the first week, then won at Russell, 34-28, in double overtime on Friday in a Mid-Continent League game. Russell is in the MCL for the first time. The game had a wild finish. Norton led 28-0 entering the fourth quarter.

Russell running back Tyler Moresco finished with 34 carries for 217 yards. Jonah Ruder rushed for 148 yards and passed for 122 for Norton.

ROSSVILLE, Kan. (KSNT) – You’ll find Rossville High’s Kaiden Brown playing linebacker and fullback Friday nights for the Dawgs, anyone who knows the program knows they always strive for more. For the senior, powerlifting is his side work, and his dedication and drive to that just brought him home a few world records.
Brown has always had a chip on his shoulder and this story started in 7th grade when lifting for football began
“I was one of the smaller kids, so I always thoughts that I needed to be stronger than everybody else, so I pushed myself there,” the Rossville senior saide turned that chip into hardware, but it didn’t come easy. Lifting and football are his passions, and he puts in the work for them every day.
“I’ll be at strength guild at 5:30 in the morning, and then have to be at the school at 7 to workout with Hammes and the football team, so I can be at school by 8, and then go through school, go to football practice after school and that’s just basically how my day is.”
When Rossville started its football season with a win over Centralia, it was just the beginning of a long 24 hours for brown and his dad. He had a powerlifting event the next morning in Columbus, Ohio, and he wasn’t going to be late.
“We left straight from Centralia, I fell asleep soon after getting in the car on the way there and then woke up for a little bit, watched some football on my phone from the night before, watching game film, and then fell asleep again,” Brown said.
The grind doesn’t stop, they got to Columbus 45 minutes before he was scheduled to lift, it became a mental battle
“I was really nervous because I hadn’t been to that big of a stage in my lifting career yet.”
He didn’t complete his first lift, it wasn’t too heavy, he just wasn’t concentrated and worried his legs were still tired from playing 12 hours earlier, but he wouldn’t be denied
“We didn’t drive up here for nothing, you know?”
By the end of the event, he’d set three new world records.
That’s my biggest thing is lifting is if I can beat my old records, I’m happy and it just so happens my records were so close the world records, so I just needed to push myself that much harder to break them and it was great.
And none of this would have been possible if he hadn’t learned that dog football mentality.
Everyone around me at Rossville is “ok that’s awesome, but how are you gonna improve?” we’re always pushing each other and I think without that then I wouldn’t be near as good as I am today.
So for all those records in his weight class, he squatted 457, deadlifted 451, and had an overall total of 1146, all world records. Plus he’s already a state champion here in Kansas. He hopes to lift and play football in college and he’s surely got the dedication to do it.
There is an excellent video of Kaiden at: KSNT Video of Kaiden Brown

From the Capital-Journal:
LEAVENWORTH — History was made last weekend at the 48th annual Leavenworth Labor Day Tennis Tournament when 17-year-old Alex Sherer — winner of the 2020 Memorial Day Weekend Tournament — became the youngest competitor to win the men’s singles division Sunday at David Brewer Park.
Sherer, a senior at Rossville High School, defeated Duane Strader 6-1, 6-0 to win the championship. His father, Jesse, was previously the youngest competitor to win the men’s open singles when he did so in 1992. Alex is six months younger than his father was at the time.
Tournament organizer Jim Mathis said the tournament featured the smallest participation in its history, but the level of play stayed the same.
“The quantity of players was the smallest in numbers in the 48-year history of the tournament,” he said. “But the quality of play was big time in some of the championship matches.”
Jesse Sherer and Chris Chapman defeated Ken Blair and Kurt Reid 6-1, 5-7, 10-6 in a tiebreaker to win the men’s over-40 doubles.
Alex and Jesse won the men’s open doubles with a 6-4, 6-1 defeat of Chapman and Bobby Miller.
The father/son duo defeated Frank and Dimetri Fleming 6-0, 6-1 in the parent/child division.
