HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Republican candidate for Kansas attorney general, Kris Kobach believes that the student loan forgiveness program promulgated by the Biden Administration is unconstitutional.

"Only the legislative branch can appropriate funds, can tax and spend money," Kobach said Thursday. "Joe Biden, by executive decree, has simply declared that these student loan debts will be forgiven. It's not a small amount of money. It amounts to an expenditure of $500 billion, with a b, that's half a trillion dollars, that Biden has simply decided he can, by decree, like an emperor, can spend. The Constitution does not permit that."

Kobach's concern about the program actually goes beyond legal issues alone.

"It's absolutely correct that it must be challenged," Kobach said. "Not only is it unconstitutional, it's also just a bad idea. Everyone listening over the age of 18 at one time or another had to make a decision, am I going to go to college? If so, how am I going to pay for it? Am I going to go to the more expensive college or the less expensive college? Am I going to work my way through? Am I going to use the GI Bill to pay for college? What the Biden order does is, it says, all of you people who made the responsible decision, or maybe didn't even go to college, you're going to pay the debts of people who just took on debt and still have it today. It's just not fair."

Kobach sees pushing back against different types of executive overreach as one of the important functions of the attorney general.&nbsp;

Dragons fall in 4 sets at Garden City

GREAT BEND – The No. 18-ranked Barton Cougars scored two second-half goals to break and scoreless halftime and send the 17th-ranked Hutchinson Community College Women’s Soccer team to a 2-0 defeat in a battle of the top two teams in the Jayhawk West on Saturday at Cougar Field.

Shut out for only the second time this season, Hutchinson and Barton are once again tied for the Jayhawk West standings with 30 points. Hutchinson is 13-3 overall and 10-3 in the league. The Dragons have completed the regular season. Barton is 10-2 in league play with one more conference game to play on Monday against Johnson County.

The Blue Dragons were outshot 19-5 and only had one shot taken in the second half off a Hadlie Lowe breakaway, which Barton goalkeeper Nia Baker saved.

Both goals by the Cougars were off of free kicks. The game-winner came from Ondine Manceau from just outside the penalty box in the 66th minute.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hinata Kojima scored an insurance goal in the 88th and the second goal from near midfield on a shot was carried in the wind.

Blue Dragon sophomore goalkeeper Madison Quarles suffered her first loss of the season (7-1), but had six saves on the eight shots on goal.

Hutchinson will either be a No. 1 or No. 2 seed for the Region VI Tournament. Pairings will come out after action is completed after Tuesday’s matches. The Blue Dragons will play host to an opening-round match on Sunday, October 30 at the Salthawk Soccer Complex.

Dragons fall 2-0 at Barton

GARDEN CITY, Kan. — Any team would have been content with a 27-7 halftime lead at Garden City — not the No. 1 Dragons.&nbsp;

Garden City (receiving votes in the Top 15 poll) entered the game 3-4 overall, but 3-1 in conference play. The Broncbusters first three losses of the season came when head coach Tom Minnick could not physically coach his team because of health issues. Upon his return, Garden City rolled to three straight wins before dropping a three-point decision against then-No. 9 Snow.

Garden City's four losses all came to nationally-ranked teams (Butler, Iowa Central, Iowa Western and Snow).

Hutchinson Community College (7-0, 4-0) jumped out to an early 7-0 lead after taking just eight plays to cover 72 yards in 4 minutes and 15 seconds.&nbsp;

Dylan Laible finished the drive by finding Marcello Bussey for a 17-yard score. The TD pass was one of three for Laible on the day. For the second-straight game, his day ended early.&nbsp;

Laible racked up three touchdown passes for 198 yards on 15 of 26 throwing. Colin Shields entered with 1:39 left in the third quarter to finish Dragon quarterback duties.&nbsp;

The Dragons put up 27 unanswered points before one mistake led to another late in the first half.&nbsp;

Hutchinson jumped offside on a 4th-and-4 punt in the closing moments of the second quarter. On the next play, quarterback Gabe Friend hit wide receiver Martiel Singleton for a 70-yard scamper. Singleton was forced out at the two, but the Broncbusters would score two plays later on a Travis Dixon one-yard burst.&nbsp;

Coach Drew Dallas said those plays cost his team some momentum headed into the locker room.&nbsp;

"(I'm) proud of how they came out in the second half," Dallas said. "Especially (knowing) how they ended that first half. They played great the second half."

Hutchinson scored the game's first 27 points, then went on a 38-point run to close the game.&nbsp;

The first 27 points came from Bussey, Laible, Malik Benson and kicker Cole Segraves.&nbsp;

Laible sneaked in from one-yard away in the first quarter for only his second rushing touchdown in his career.&nbsp;

Segraves hit two field goals (21 and 32) before Benson took a 40-yard reception to pay dirt.&nbsp;

The second-half run came compliments of some defensive points and interceptions.&nbsp;

Hutchinson picked off Garden City five times (three different quarterbacks), two of those interceptions were house calls.&nbsp;

The five interceptions and two pick-sixes tied team records for one game.&nbsp;

Jalik Thomas was the first Dragon defender on the board when his second INT went 38 yards to the end zone.&nbsp;

Not to be outdone, Ja'Maric Morris took his second interception of the day 75 yards to the house.&nbsp;

Hutchinson pushed Garden City back in the run game. The Broncbusters finished with negative three yards on the ground.&nbsp;

"Allowing negative yards rushing is something special," Dallas said.&nbsp;

The 70-yard reception Hutchinson gave up just before the half accounted for all but 20 of Garden City's first-half yards.&nbsp;

In all, the Broncbusters managed 176 yards on 68 plays (2.6 yards per play). Garden City converted just two times on 14 third-down tries.&nbsp;

Despite the success, Dallas knows his team can improve.

"We'll find something to critique, obviously to get better," Dallas said. He pointed out silly pre-snap penalties and settling for Red Zone field goals as starting points.&nbsp;

The Dragons added scores from Treymon Echols and Dylan Kedzior in the second half.&nbsp;

Echols scored his first two touchdowns of the season in the second half. His first TD came in the third quarter on a 29-yard Laible pass. His second came from Shields in the fourth quarter after his defender fell down. Echols turned the corner and ran the sideline for 64 yards.&nbsp;

Kedzior used a 36-yard run in the third quarter to run his average yards per carry up to 9.2. He finished the day at 8.6 ypc on 17 touches (146 yards).

Cole Segraves was the Special Teams Player of the Week in the KJCCC after his 4-for-4 performance in Dodge City two weeks ago. Segraves continued to be accurate by hitting three of his four attempts (Made: 21, 32 and 38. Missed: 41.)

FINAL: Hutchinson 65 Garden City 7

Hutchinson put up 414 yards of offense. The Dragons were 8 of 17 on third down.&nbsp;

The Dragons are back in Gowans Stadium Oct. 29 to take on Highland (0-5, 1-7) at 7 p.m.&nbsp;

🏀 Papa John's Blue Dragon Jamboree set for Sunday

The No. 1-ranked Hutchinson Community College Football team returns to action Saturday from its second bye week of the season and travels to meet the Garden City Broncbusters in a big Jayhawk Conference matchup.

The Blue Dragons (6-0) and the Broncbusters (3-4) kick off at 1 p.m. at Broncbuster Stadium in Garden City.

The last four meetings between Hutchinson and Garden City have had conference and national implications. Two seasons ago, the Blue Dragons won 23-7 on the way to the 2020-21 national championship.

Last season, the Blue Dragons defeated the Busters 24-16 in the regular season and 49-19 in the KJCCC Playoff Championship game last season in Wichita.

Hutchinson is the lone-remaining unbeaten team in the Jayhawk Conference with a 3-0 record, but Garden City and Butler are right on the Blue Dragons' tail at 3-1.

Two weeks ago, the Blue Dragons went on the road and defeated Dodge City 49-14 at Memorial Stadium. Sophomore quarterback&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/fball/2022-23/bios/laible_dylan_elo2">Dylan Laible</a>&nbsp;threw for 217 yards and became the Blue Dragons' career passing leader with 4,921 yards. Sophomore receiver&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/fball/2022-23/bios/benson_malik_obrm">Malik Benson</a>&nbsp;- who had seven catches for 136 yards - moved into No. 2 on the career receiving yards list with 1,756 yards. Kicker&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/fball/2022-23/bios/segraves_cole_2w5s">Cole Segraves</a>&nbsp;went 4 of 4 on field goals and booted a career-long 46 yards to lead the Blue Dragon special teams.

The victory over Dodge City was Hutchinson's 12th-straight win, the third-longest winning streak in program history.

Garden City got off to an 0-3 start this season with losses to Butler, Iowa Central and Iowa Western, but has won 3 of 4 games since. Last week, the Busters played at No. 6 Snow College and dropped a 23-20 decision. Garden City quarterback Ty Perry threw for 182 yards and three touchdowns.

Despite the loss, the Busters have moved back into the receiving votes section of the NJCAA Division I National Rankings for the first time in five polls. Garden City started the season ranked No. 7 in the preseason rankings, but fell out of the poll after the 0-3 start.

After Saturday's road contest, the Blue Dragons will have two-straight games at Gowans Stadium with Highland next Saturday and Independence on November 5.

Linda Kay (McQueen) Rhodes |1941-2022|

&nbsp;by Hutchinson CC Sports Information HUTCHINSON, Kan.—Wednesday was quite a day for Hutchinson Community College Women's Soccer sophomore Hadlie Lowe. Earlier in the day, Lowe was named the NJCAA Division I Women's Soccer National Player of the Week. Wednesday evening, Lowe continued her torrid scoring pace with a hat trick to lead the No. 17 Blue Dragons to a 3-1 Jayhawk West victory over the Cowley Tigers on Sophomore Recognition Night at the Salthawk Sports Complex. The Blue Dragons improve to 13-2 overall and are 10-2 (30 points) in the Jayhawk West. The Blue Dragons travel to No. 18 Barton at 2 p.m. on Saturday in Great Bend in a battle of the top two teams in the Jayhawk West. Cowley falls to 7-7 overall and 4-7 in the league. The Blue Dragons complete a season sweep of the Tigers and now own a 14-3-1 all-time record vs. Cowley. The 13 season wins for Hutchinson are the most for the Blue Dragons since 2018. Lowe had her second-straight hat trick - she has scored seven goals in her last two games - on Wednesday. Lowe was also credited with her fifth game-winning goal of the season and 13th of her career. Lowe now has 37 career goals and moves past Sheena Nicol into seventh place on the Blue Dragon career goals list. Her 84 career points are now 11th all-time, just one point out of the Top 10. Lowe's third goal gave her a career-high 19 goals, which is 13th in single-season history. She has 45 points this season, which ties Jen Rogers for 16th in single-season history. Lowe gave the Blue Dragons a 1-0 lead just 4:19 into the match when she took a long Lexi Jack pass and finished with a left-footed shot past Cowley keeper Kanon Dehama. Cowley's Esther Attwood tied the game with 8:10 to play in the first half and the Dragons survived a late Tiger surge in the opening stanza to take a 1-1 tie into halftime. Cowley continued to own possession in the opening stages of the second half, but the Blue Dragon defense started to swing momentum as the match entered the final 25 minutes. The Blue Dragons regained the lead in the 67th minute. Sophomore Ella Mae Miller came up to defend a Cowley player, who slipped while trying to make a move around the Blue Dragon defender. Miller instantly jumped on the loose ball and got the ball to Emma Scholl, who in turn, threaded a pass to Lowe, who took her time to hammer her second goal of the game, giving the Dragons a 2-1 lead with 23:04 to play. Lowe scored an insurance goal with 3:03 to play. She took a long Aimee Maher pass and went in one-on-on with Dehama, who made the save on Lowe's initial shot, but didn't control the rebound. Lowe got to the loose ball and scored for a 3-1 lead. Sophomore goalkeeper Madison Quarles improved to 7-0 with a dazzling second half in an eight-save performance. Quarles made five saves in the second half, including two incredible one-on-on saves when the score was 2-1 Hutchinson. The Blue Dragons were outshot 21-12, including 9-2 in the first half. After the match, the Blue Dragons honored the 10 sophomores - Quarles, Lowe, Maher, Miller, Scholl, Jack, Zara Lawless, Julia De Souza, Dayza Hollimon and Olivia Felix-Cardona - who played their final regular-season home match. The Blue Dragons did clinch a home Region VI Tournament match with the victory.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lowe had her second-straight hat trick - she has scored seven goals in her last two games - on Wednesday. Lowe was also credited with her fifth game-winning goal of the season and 13th of her career. Lowe now has 37 career goals and moves past Sheena Nicol into seventh place on the Blue Dragon career goals list. Her 84 career points are now 11th all-time, just one point out of the Top 10. Lowe's third goal gave her a career-high 19 goals, which is 13th in single-season history. She has 45 points this season, which ties Jen Rogers for 16th in single-season history. Lowe gave the Blue Dragons a 1-0 lead just 4:19 into the match when she took a long Lexi Jack pass and finished with a left-footed shot past Cowley keeper Kanon Dehama. Cowley's Esther Attwood tied the game with 8:10 to play in the first half and the Dragons survived a late Tiger surge in the opening stanza to take a 1-1 tie into halftime. Cowley continued to own possession in the opening stages of the second half, but the Blue Dragon defense started to swing momentum as the match entered the final 25 minutes. The Blue Dragons regained the lead in the 67th minute. Sophomore Ella Mae Miller came up to defend a Cowley player, who slipped while trying to make a move around the Blue Dragon defender. Miller instantly jumped on the loose ball and got the ball to Emma Scholl, who in turn, threaded a pass to Lowe, who took her time to hammer her second goal of the game, giving the Dragons a 2-1 lead with 23:04 to play. Lowe scored an insurance goal with 3:03 to play. She took a long Aimee Maher pass and went in one-on-on with Dehama, who made the save on Lowe's initial shot, but didn't control the rebound. Lowe got to the loose ball and scored for a 3-1 lead. Sophomore goalkeeper Madison Quarles improved to 7-0 with a dazzling second half in an eight-save performance. Quarles made five saves in the second half, including two incredible one-on-on saves when the score was 2-1 Hutchinson. The Blue Dragons were outshot 21-12, including 9-2 in the first half. After the match, the Blue Dragons honored the 10 sophomores - Quarles, Lowe, Maher, Miller, Scholl, Jack, Zara Lawless, Julia De Souza, Dayza Hollimon and Olivia Felix-Cardona - who played their final regular-season home match. The Blue Dragons did clinch a home Region VI Tournament match with the victory.&nbsp;&nbsp;
