Hello and happy Monday everybody, it’s Tyler Henry, back with another KINA Sports Update presented by Salina Regional Orthopedic and Sports Medicine.

Over the weekend the Salina Liberty collected another big win, routing the Regulators 37-12 down in Wichita.
Charles McCullum looked great in his return from injury, striking for three passing touchdowns, matched only by Freddie McGee and his three interceptions.
Once again the defense shined, as that unit has now forced eight turnovers and allowed just 19 total points in the last eight quarters of play.
With this win the Liberty move to 5-2, securing one of the five tickets to this year’s playoffs. Salina currently sits in the 3-seed behind Billings and Albany

News also broke over the weekend that Southeast of Saline’s Pesha Ptacek would be stepping down as head softball coach
Ptacek had a stellar coaching career, finishing her two stints as leader of the Lady Trojans with a 247-102 record, and getting SES to six state tournaments in the last eight years
The search for a new head coach is already underway in Gypsum

And finally the Kansas City Royals dropped two of three over the weekend to the LA Dodgers but did manage to take a game off the National League leader, winning 7-2 on Saturday
