Friday night in Koch Arena in Wichita, the Seward County Saints might have suffered the most stinging loss that they possibly could have. After a furious late game comeback which saw Seward tie the game with 3 seconds left, upstart Pratt launched a halfcourt prayer as time expired and unbelievably, the shot found its mark, swishing through the hoop in front of the Beaver fans to send Koch Arena into a frenzy and the Saints fans home still trying to figure out just how it happened. Pratt won the game 71-68, ending the Saints season in the semifinal round of the tournament while the Beavers will look to continue their magical run on Saturday as they take on Hutchinson in the championship game of the tournament. Sat, 08 Mar 2014 05:00:00 GMT https://sewardsaints.com/sports/mbkb/2013-14/releases/20140308nphii6 https://sewardsaints.com/sports/mbkb/2013-14/releases/20140307m40mk0 The Seward County Saints certainly didn't play their best on Thursday night in Koch Arena in Wichita as they took on the Neosho County Panthers in the Region VI Quarterfinals. The good news is, the Saints still managed to find a way to win, knocking off the Panthers 73-68 in what looked more like a black and blue division football game than a crisp game between two of the higher flying teams in the Jayhawk Conference.

Tue, 04 Mar 2014 05:00:00 GMT https://sewardsaints.com/sports/mbkb/2013-14/releases/20140304ldtiwr https://sewardsaints.com/sports/mbkb/2013-14/releases/20140302d6r12c While we have come accustom to watching classic Seward County vs. Cowley matchups late in Region VI Tournament’s over the past few years, we certainly haven’t seen the two teams go head to head early in any of the March tournaments. But, with the Saints winning the Jayhawk West for a record fourth straight season and the Tigers coming out on the wrong end of a four way tie in the Jayhawk East standings, the date was set as Cowley game knocking on the Greenhouse doors Saturday in the Region VI First Round. The Saints were less than welcoming to their familiar foes, taking a 40-16 lead into the half before blowing the Tigers out of the water in the second half, coming away with a 82-39 laugher of a win to once again advance to the quarterfinal round of the tournament.

However, even while Seward had basically nothing to play for, with the conference title and #1 seed from the West already locked up before the night began, the Saints came out with some spirit, coming from behind to down the Pratt Beavers 72-69 in the closing minutes before cutting down the Greenhouse nets for the fourth consecutive season as Jayhawk West Champions.

In their game with Dodge City the Saints certainly had the lucky hand, drilling the Conqs 88-59 on their home floor to win their seventh straight game against their Jayhawk West rivals.

Going into Saturday night's Jayhawk West tilt with Hutchinson, Seward County Head Coach Bryan Zollinger was 0-6 in the Hutchinson Sports Arena when talking on the homestanding Dragons in regular season play. However, the 7th year Head Coach is 6-2 in games at the NJCAA National Tournament in the same building. Saturday, Zollinger left the monkey at the door, getting a conference high 28 points from freshman Niem Stevenson to lead a second half comeback against Hutchinson to win 84-82 to sweep the season series for the first time since the 2004-2005 season.

Pratt was the aggressors early and often, grabbing an early lead before taking a 16 point lead into the half and cruising to an 85-75 win over the three time defending Jayhawk West Champs to drop Seward from 1st to 3rd place in the league standings at nights end.

After building a 13 point halftime lead the Saints were force to hang on against the T-Birds in a game that seemed to lack pace and flow all evening.

It took a last second tip in by veteran sophomore Quentin Purtue and a buzzer beating miss by the Conquistadors to send the Greenhouse crowd into a frenzy as the Saints escaped with an 84-83 overtime win to remain on top of the Jayhawk West standings.

Saturday night in the Greenhouse the game was expected to be much of the same between the two teams who have battled for the past three conference crowns. Unfortunately for the folks looking for drama in the Greenhouse, there was none this time and that was because the Saints came out and took it to the 12th ranked Dragons, grabbing an early lead and never looking back in a 98-76 win over their foes from Hutchinson.

A good start, followed by peaks and valleys throughout, before finally putting the nail in the coffin late in the game. This time the Saints turned in a 100-71 win over the prep school, ending the game on a 24-9 run to pick up their 10th win on the season.
