One of the great endings in KSHSFB history! Four seconds left in the game when he crossed the goal line and gave the Eagles the one-score lead. After hopping on the ensuing kickoff Hill City got one play and Clifton-Clyde intercepted the pass just in front of the end zone. This hook and lateral was the game winner! GREAT GAME to both teams! @coachsteinbrock
Clifton-Clyde (8M-I 🏈 2-0) always has high expectations under HC Russ Steinbrock. Huge league matchup with two time defending 8M-II champion Axtell this week. We caught up with standout Trent Long and coach today in Clyde. #sportsinkansas

Kickapoo Nation School hasn’t fielded a football team in 11 years but tonight that changed. Clifton Clyde JV hosted the Kickapoo Nation School for a game tonight in Clyde, Kansas in their first football game since 2012. Kickapoo Nation School is located in Powhattan, Kansas about one hour North of Topeka and had an enrollment of 30 kids last school year. It is the sole tribal school in the state of Kansas. The school is 6 miles north of the Kickapoo Indian Reservation. After the game the players introduced themselves to each other and took this photo. So awesome to see! #sportsinkansas

Trent Long (2024) is a nice looking player out of Clifton-Clyde we saw at @sharp_spelite Top Prospect.
@Trentlong03 can play multiple positions on the football field 🏈
Also a multi-sport standout (basketball, track, summer baseball) for the Eagles.

It is National Bill Self day (hired 20 years ago, today), so here are some insane facts:
Bill Self has as many Big 12 Titles (17) as he does losses in Allen Fieldhouse (17) in his 20 year tenure at Kansas.
Self’s worst record EVER at Kansas is 25-10 with a Big 12 title.
Self averages 29.3 wins per season at Kansas.
Self is responsible for 10/15 (67%) 30+ win seasons in Kansas’ 125 year history.
That means Kansas has won 30+ games 10/20 seasons in his tenure. That’s good for 30+ wins 50% of the time.
Oh, & he also has 9 Big 12 Tournament Titles, 11 Sweet 16s, 9 Elite 8s, 4 Final 4s & 2 National Championships at KU with a 580-132 (.815) record.
Looks like KU is remodeling their trophy room to look like Kansas State's. Cool gesture by the flagship university to stand in solidarity with little brother after a great season!
