Kansas Pregame will begin to offer some localized coverage at the county and regional level on our website. This is the first installment of our new Saline County Sports Round-up which will cover cross country, football and volleyball at Salina Central, Salina South, Sacred Heart, Ell-Saline and Southeast of Saline high schools. Other fall sports coverage is not currently on the agenda due to our limited resources, but we do hope to expand in the future.

Coach Chuck Fessenden’s 1985 Almena-Northern Valley football team featured multiple sophomores in key roles. The Huskies returned senior running back Shane Baird, who tallied 1,573 rushing yards as a junior.

Northern Valley lost in state title games in ’82-’83 and posted a 10-2 record in ’84. In ’85 the Huskies opened 4-0 with all wins by at least 22 points.

After an exciting opening week of high school football in Kansas I think we're all ready for Week 2! The week actually got started with a number of games Thursday night, with several of those postponed until this afternoon or Saturday because of weather delays including notable games between Blue Valley/Blue Valley North and Frontenac/Colgan. Blue Valley was leading North 14-7 when the game was postponed and was scheduled to resume in the second half at 3 p.m. Friday.
