Bentin Roberts Has Breakout Game as Tigers Beat King City Again

Worth County knocked out King City Friday as they beat them down 64-6 to end their season. They host Princeton Friday for the District Championship contest at 7:00 pm. Temperatures are forecast to be cloudy and cool, with a high of around 41 degrees. Bentin Roberts had a breakout game for the Tigers as he had two catches for 87 yards and ran the ball once for another 23 yards. He also shined on defense as he was one of the tackling leaders. Brock Healy threw for almost 200 yards and completed all his passes, while Jude Archer had two picks.

King City was shorthanded as they were without quarterback Landon Carlson, who got a concussion during an onsides kick attempt by Stanberry and a frantic scramble, in which one of Stanberry’s players landed on him. King City held on to win 44-33 and break Stanberry’s Cinderella run. Stanberry had started off winning its first five games before dropping its last five.

The same issues that hurt King City in their previous game against Worth County hurt them again Friday night, special teams and bad snaps. It started on the very first play when Xander Bodle hit a knuckle ball that was difficult to field, and Jordan Dannar and Cole Hardy pinned Carter Heinrich at the six. A false start pinned them at the three and a bad snap moved them back to one, where they were forced to punt. King City shanked the punt, and Worth County started with a short field at King City’s 27. It only took Worth County one play to take advantage as Bo Collins took a short pass from Brock Healy, broke two tackles, and took it to the house with 11:18 left in the first. Hayden Sanders ran in the extra points to make it 8-0.

King City started on their own 23. Without Carlson, they tried Isaac King and Jax Jundy. The latter had sparked King City in their comeback bid against Stanberry, in which they nearly erased a 27-point deficit before Stanberry burned them with a long pass play to win it 55-50 in the regular season. Jundy nearly overcame a third and 15 with a 14-yard scramble, setting up fourth and one at the 32. But the snap was fumbled, and Worth County recovered it at the 28. With another short field to work with, they took full advantage as Jude Archer got blocks from Wyatt Scadden and Ryder Smyser and picked up eight to the 20. Hayden Sanders picked up the first down to the 18. Brock Healy aired it out to Wyatt Scadden for a score, and Bo Collins ran in the extra points to make it 16-0 with 8:11 left in the first.

It looked like King City would make a game out of it on their next series as Jundy flashed his form that he showed in the Stanberry game and took it 52 yards to the house with 7:08 left in the first. Bentin Roberts broke up the extra point pass and King City was still down by two scores at 16-6.

In what has been an all too familiar sight, a kick return for a touchdown was wiped out by a penalty, and Worth County started from King City’s 37. But Brock Healy scrambled to the 23 and then threw a long pitch to Bentin Roberts. He got a block downfield from Bo Collins and hurtled himself like a human missile, knocking the wind out of a King City defender with a hit that could be heard from the other side of the field as he scored with 6:14 left in the first. Brock Healy scrambled into the end zone for the extra points to make it three possessions at 24-6.

Once again, Xander Bodle kicked a knuckleball that King City could not handle, and they were pinned at their own 7. Isaac King was dropped by Bo Collins at the six. Cayden Wainscott picked up six, but King ran into a wall formed by Bo Collins and Ethan Lininger, and King City was forced to punt. This time, they got off a good kick, and Worth County started at its own 30. They tried some razzle-dazzle, with Brock Healy optioning it to Hayden Sanders, who optioned it to Bo Collins, but he was tackled immediately after picking up five. Jude Archer ripped off gains of ten and eight yards to put the ball into King City territory at the 27. From there, Brock Healy found Bentin Roberts all alone, and he took it to the house with 2:18 left in the first quarter. On a busted play, Hayden Sanders picked it up and ran in the extra points to make it 32-6.

On the ensuing kickoff, a late hit put King City into Worth County territory at the 34 but a false start backed them up to the 19. They tried to air it out but missed. Trent Adwell dropped Cayden Wainscott for a big loss back to King City’s 36, and a dropped pass forced a punt. Ryder Smyser blocked the punt and recovered it at the 22. King City stood up Jude Archer for no gain, but a facemask penalty put it on the seven. On the next play, Hayden Sanders got blocks from Ryder Smyser and Bentin Roberts and took it to the house with 50 seconds left in the first quarter. Brock Healy threw a strike to Bo Collins to make it 40-6.

A pass interference and a late hit put King City on the 17, but on the very next play, Jude Archer picked off King and returned it to the 20. On the next play, Brock Healy found nobody open deep, so he dropped it off to Bentin Roberts. He accelerated like a human missile and outran everyone to the house with 11:20 left in the second. Hayden Sanders dove for the pylon and made it for the extra points to make it 48-6.

The quick hitter by the quarterback was one of the few plays that worked for King City, and Isaac King took it 27 yards into Tiger territory at the 28. But after two incompletions, Worth County finally snuffed out the quick hitter, and Ethan Lininger dropped King for a loss. On fourth and 13, King City tried the guard eligible play and aired it out to Kenstin Aborn, but Jude Archer picked him up and went stride for stride, picking it off at the five. 

A swing pass from Brock Healy to Jude Archer netted 34 yards to the 39, and Hayden Sanders got a block from Ryder Smyser and scrambled seven yards into King City territory at the 34. A screen pass to Jude Archer picked up eight to the 26 as he picked up blocks from Lance Runde and Ryder Smyser. Jude Archer got a block from Hayden Sanders and took it the rest of the way with 7:23 left in the half. Brock Healy started to scramble on the extra point try but suddenly pulled up just before crossing the line of scrimmage and hit Bo Collins for the two points to make it 56-6.

Two quick hitters went nowhere, and Bo Collins and Ryder Smyser flushed King out of the pocket and forced an incompletion. Worth County got the ball back at their own 32, and the reserves took over, with Cole Hardy ripping off gains of 15 and 19. Hudson Cameron dragged a defender several yards all the way down to the two. Liam Cordell was stuffed for no gain, but Cole Hardy got a block from Tucker Fletchall and took it to the house with 3:19 left in the first half. Dylan Smith caught the extra point pass to make it 64-6.

Brock Healy completed all eight of his passes for 197 yards.

Worth County was without Cole Ruby (high ankle sprain), but they used eight different people in the running game who had 15 carries for 148 yards. Jude Archer had 3 carries for 44 yards. Cole Hardy had 3 carries for 36 yards, Bentin Roberts 1 carry for 23 yards. Hayden Sanders 3 carries for 16 yards, Brock Healy 1 carry for 14 yards, Hudson Cameron 1 carry for 12 yards, Bo Collins 1 carry for 5 yards, and Liam Cordell 2 carries for -2 yards. 

Bentin Roberts had 2 catches for 87 yards. Jude Archer had 4 catches for 65 yards, Bo Collins 1 catch for 27 yards, and Wyatt Scadden 1 catch for 18 yards. 

Bentin Roberts and Ryder Smyser had 5 tackles. Hudson Cameron and Ethan Lininger had 4, Dylan Smith, Jude Archer, and Trent Adwell 3, Hayden Sanders, Jordan Dannar, and Bo Collins 2, and Liam Cordell, Wes Brown, Maverick Cox, and Lance Runde with 1.

Ryder Smyser had 2 sacks. Jude Archer had 2 picks. 

Alpha-Gal Syndrome Affecting Area Residents

Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) is an allergy to meat and other proteins made from animals. It is caused by a tick bite and is affecting people in the area. The Extension Service gave out flyers at the Worth County/Northeast Nodaway game in Ravenwood Thursday to raise awareness. 

Symptoms are different for different people. They can range from mild to life-threatening. There is no known cure, so finding out early or preventing it is important.

Red meat from mammals like beef, pork, rabbit, venison, and sheep have a carbohydrate called alpha-gal. These molecules are also found in dairy foods and mammalian byproducts. AGS is also found in the saliva of the Lone Star Tick. When this tick bites a person, it can transfer alpha-gal, potentially causing AGS. The Lone Star Tick is common in the south and central US, including Missouri. Missouri has one of the higher rates of AGS.

Symptoms occur two to six hours after eating meat, dairy, or mammal byproducts. Common symptoms include hives and/or stomach problems. Breathing symptoms can also occur. Other symptoms can include nausea or vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea, drop in blood pressure, coughing, swelling of the lips, throat, tongue, or eyelids, dizziness, faintness, or severe stomach pain.

Foods that can trigger AGS include meat from mammals such as beef, pork, venison, lamb, bison, goat, or rabbit; mammal organ meat such as liver, kidneys, or sweetbreads; Rocky Mountain or prairie oysters, milk and dairy products including ice cream, yogurt, butter, and cheese; gelatin, meat broth, stock, and gravy; and butter, tallow, lard, or suet.

Not all people with AGS have reactions to every food. Some are more sensitive than others. Most people with AGS need to avoid red meat. Some also have sensitivity to dairy and dairy products. A small number must also avoid byproducts like gelatin. Some may even need to avoid cross-contact, such as when cooking utensils or surfaces touch trigger foods. Areas of potential cross-contamination include fry oil, meat grinders and slicers, cast iron pans, grills, and cooking utensils and surfaces.

The following foods do not contain alpha gal but be aware of hidden ingredients. These include chicken, turkey, duck, emu, quail, fish and other seafood, eggs, fruits, vegetables, soy products, vegan dairy alternatives, legumes, nuts, seeds, and grain foods. 

Many food products have hidden ingredients that can trigger AGS symptoms. Poultry products can have beef or pork casings. Canned chicken can have beef or pork broth. Lunchmeat can have Carrageenan. Pre-seasoned chicken can have beef or pork fat, dairy, or bullion. Gummy products, pudding, and roasted nuts can have gelatin. Breads and cereals can have butter, milk, lard, or gelatin. Pasta or rice seasoning can have dried beef or pork broth or fat. Spice mixes can have beef or pork fat, broth, bullion, stock, gravy, whey, or powdered milk. Baked beans can have lard or bacon. Protein powder can have Collagen or whey. Check the ingredient labels on anything you buy.

Some personal items and medications can have ingredients that can trigger AGS symptoms. For personal items, check for ingredients such as gelatin, glycerin, and collagen. Medications such as over-the-counter medications and prescription dietary supplements, vaccines, ointments, creams, and pills with gel capsules can have such ingredients as well. Be sure your physicians, dentists, and eye doctors know of your AGS diagnosis.

There are four steps to an AGS diagnosis. Your provider will look at your medical history, do a physical exam, take a blood test, and watch for reactions to meat foods and products. 

Many people with AGS report both waking up at night with stomach problems and a history of tick bites or outdoor hobbies. Symptoms can change over time. People who avoid tick bites can see their reactions decrease. Yet new tick bites can make the allergy worse and lead to stronger reactions.

Tick bites can occur at any time of the year, but most occur between April and September. To avoid ticks, stay away from grassy, brushy, or wooded areas whenever possible. Walk in the center of trails when hiking. Wear light-colored clothing so you can see ticks more easily. Tuck your pant legs into your socks or tape them. Use EPA-approved insect repellents such as DEET or picaridin. Treat clothing and gear with products having 0.5% permethrin or buy pre-treated items. After being outside, check your clothes, gear, and pets for ticks. Take a shower and change clothes as soon as possible. Remove any attached ticks right away. If not washing immediately, dry your clothes on high heat for 10 minutes to kill any ticks.

Tom Brand Writes New Book

The Missouri author who brought readers Welts on Your Butt a Calf Could Suck has more stories to tell.

In his latest book, You Have To Leave If You Want To Come Back, Tom Brand shares 58 personal essays filled with humor, memorable people, family traditions. and the experiences that take on new meaning with the passage of time.

Readers of the Sheridan Express may already know Brand through his weekly column, A Little Bit Like Home, which shares reflections on family, small-town life, humor, and the experiences that connect generations.

The title comes from a familiar saying Brand's father used whenever his grandchildren were reluctant to leave Grandma and Grandpa's house after a visit. When they said they wanted to come back, Grandpa would remind them, "Well… you have to leave if you want to come back."

What began as a simple way to make goodbyes easier eventually took on a much deeper meaning.

"If my first book was about growing up, this one is more about understanding what it meant," Brand writes in the book's preface.

Growing up on a family farm near Hopkins, Missouri, provided plenty of material for Brand's storytelling. But his experiences have carried him well beyond the gravel roads of his childhood. The new collection takes readers from hayfields and school playgrounds to Major League Baseball stadiums, the White House, and encounters with some familiar personalities. Along the way are stories about the people whose influence often became apparent only years later.

Some stories are humorous, others reflective, and several offer unexpected lessons about kindness, friendship, family and faith.

"Most of us don't realize we're collecting stories while we're living them," Brand said. "It's only later that a small moment, a familiar voice, or something somebody said takes on a different meaning. I hope readers find a little of their own story in these pages."

Many of the stories grew from Brand's newspaper columns, including his syndicated weekly column, A Little Bit Like Home. Some have been expanded for the book, offering additional details and reflections.

Brand spent nearly two decades as a farm broadcaster with the Brownfield Network, KMA and KFEQ before serving as executive director of the National Association of Farm Broadcasting. He currently serves as director of the St. Joseph Community Alliance.
