If you caught Friday night's playoffs, Wichita Northwest rolled past Wichita Southeast 49-6 to head back to the quarterfinals. The Grizzlies started 0-2 and haven't lost since.

Coach Steve Martin has three running backs and one football. Sophomore Zy'Air Burton has offers from Penn State, Iowa State, Kansas State and Kansas. Freshman Braylon Scott averages 12.5 yards a carry. Martin calls junior Henry Robinson, a blocker for the other two, "the glue to the whole group."

  • Burton: 18 rushing touchdowns on 111 carries
  • Dallas Gray: 21 tackles for loss
  • Cort Campbell: pick-six in Friday's first quarter
  • Defense: four shutouts in eight games

And just like that, this has become another place to hate each other for political reasons.

“I don’t want to know who I am supposed to hate in my neighborhood. And it’s our fault for turning everything into a platform to hate each other. I want to like my neighbors because I like them. Why does everything have to be like this?!?”

Somebody set a table so well that it became a Wichita tradition. Holiday Tables at Mark Arts wraps up today, and the exhibit is a showcase of imaginative tablescapes created by some of the area's most creative hosts and hostesses.
