Wichita-area boys soccer owned the Kansas state tournament. Here's what to know

Wichita-area boys soccer made a powerful statement on the state’s biggest stage in 2026, claiming two of Kansas’ three state championships and filling four of the six spots in the title games. Kapaun Mt. Carmel and Rose Hill brought home championship trophies, Maize South and Berean Academy finished as runners-up, and Wichita East added another semifinal appearance to a postseason that showcased the remarkable depth of soccer talent across south-central Kansas. Here are key takeaways: Kapaun Mt. Carmel ended a 29-year championship drought with a 3-1 comeback win over Maize South in the Class 5A final , scoring three unanswered goals after conceding first — something the Crusaders had failed to do all season — to claim their first title since 1997. Longtime Rose Hill coach Jerry Treat retired after a 5-0 win over Berean Academy in the Class 4-1A championship , his fourth title at Rose Hill and fifth overall in a career that began in 1992 and produced 359 victories. Rose Hill senior Brady Liebl, a Creighton commit, and senior defender Caedon Defoor, headed to Truman State for baseball, closed out a friendship that began on youth fields at age 4 , with Liebl breaking the program’s career

Jewish Deli Day will include brisket, challah, face time with Wichita's new rabbi

Once a year, Wichita gets the opportunity to feast on Jewish deli fare like matzah ball soup, challah bread and corned beef sandwiches. The 2026 opportunity happens this weekend at the Wichita Jewish Community Center , 1850 N. Woodlawn. Deli Day , an event by Congregation Emanu-El that’s now in its 60th year, offers plenty of culinary reasons to visit, including full Jewish meals and a la carte baked goods for sale. But, said co-chair Keith Pickus, the event also will give locals the chance to meet the congregation’s new rabbi and to get a rare peek inside the center. “It’s our way of welcoming the community into our building,” he said. “We’re so security conscious, and we have to be. This is a fundraiser for us, no doubt about it. But what’s equally important is that folks from Wichita come in and see us.” This year’s dinner happens from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 15. People who buy $25 tickets at the door will each get a full meal that includes a choice between beef brisket with challah bread or a corned beef sandwich on rye. Meals also include a potato side dish, a cup of

Exit poll shows why Wichita supported school bonds, exposes trust gap | Opinion

What a difference a year and a half makes. Of all the things that happened in the Nov. 3 election, one of the most surprising, important and far-reaching results was the successful campaign for school bonds in Wichita’s USD 259. It probably hasn’t gotten the attention it deserved. Most of the public attention on election night and since has focused on the blue wave that swept across the state, unseating incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall in favor of United Methodist pastor Adam Hamilton. Pending the final count, Democrats also appear to have won the race for governor (Democrat Cindy Holscher vs. Republican Ty Masterson) and attorney general (Democrat Chris Mann vs. incumbent Republican Kris Kobach). Even against that backdrop, and with numerous Democratic upsets in Legislature races up and down the state, the school bond vote was remarkable. In February of last year, voters rejected a plan to borrow and spend $450 million for new construction of a Trades Future Ready Center and renovation of aging buildings across the district. On Nov. 3, the voters approved two ballot questions adding up to $615 million — $165 million more than the district’s original ask. And we now have some insights into why
