Around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, the Grand River Dam Authority received an emergency call about a man who jumped from the cliffs in the Dripping Springs area of Grand Lake. Rescue crews rushed to the scene and found Green in about 31 feet of water.


“It’s a terrible day for Emporia State football and just a devastating loss for the Green family,” said Emporia State football coach Garin Higgins. “Brexten was a great teammate who cared so much about this football program. It showed in his competitive spirit, his work ethic and his willingness to be there for his teammates. He will always be a part of our Hornet football family.”


Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date. 


Emporia State Counselors will be available for members of the Hornet football team via zoom over the remainder of the holiday weekend.


Starting Tuesday, July 5 students or staff can seek support through Counseling Services from 11-2 p.m. by walking in or calling at 620-341-5222.

Surging Braves get closer to full strength as Eddie Rosario, Tyler Matzek come off injured list

 The Atlanta Braves, the reigning World Series champions and one of Major League Baseball's hottest teams over the past month-plus, are two steps closer to being at full strength. On Monday, the Braves activated outfielder Eddie Rosario and lefty reliever Tyler Matzek from the injured list. In corresponding moves, the Braves optioned infielder Mike Ford and designated reliever Silvino Bracho for assignment. Rosario figures to see action in left field against right-handed pitchers. The Braves could use Adam Duvall to spare Rosario versus lefties, while allowing Marcell Ozuna to take most of his reps as the club's designated hitter. The rest of the Braves outfield should remain staffed by rookie sensation Michael Harris II and star Ronald Acuña Jr., who just returned from a brief absence caused by fouling a ball off his foot. Matzek, 31, had been out since May because of shoulder inflammation. In 13 appearances this season, he'd accumulated a 5.06 ERA (90 ERA+) and a 1.11 str

How to Watch LA Galaxy vs. CF Montreal: Preview, odds

 It’s a holiday Monday, and with that, a rare MLS match for LA Galaxy, who will host CF Montreal for the teams’ only meeting in 2022 regular season action at Dignity Health Sports Park. The Galaxy are reeling recently, losing 3-2 on Wednesday at home against Minnesota United. It was a game where the scoreline was not as close as it looks on paper, although credit to LA for digging deep to pick up two goals in the second half after going down 3-0 and down a man early on. All told, there were two Galaxy red cards in the game, with Douglas Costa coming back from injury and immediately picking up a dumb red card for elbowing a foe in the head at the final whistle. Needless to say, it was a tough night. Meanwhile, CF Montreal are flying high, beating the Seattle Sounders 2-1 on the road on Wednesday. The result put them atop the Eastern Conference, and even after losing MVP candidate Djordje Mihailovic the past few games due to injury, they’ve been a very good team. The team formerly known
