(Our series of “Profiles of McPherson County Business Leaders” highlights Kris Burge) MCPHERSON – Since the age of his middle years of high school, Kris Burge has been intrigued with the ‘good spirit’ atmosphere he found when getting his hair cut at a barbershop in Lyons.

CANTON – They came close twice on Tuesday, but the Canton/Galva baseball team could not finish them out and lost both ends of a doubleheader on the road at Marion, losing 8-5 and 10-8. Now 0-6 on the season, the Eagles will work at getting that elusive first win on Friday when they play at Bennington.

SALINA, Kansas – Expectations were high for the McPherson High School soccer team at the start of the season, and they were ranked No. 2 in class 4A-1A. Although the Bullpups like the high expectations and the eyes on their team, it may have led to a tense start to their season.

MCPHERSON – At the end of the last wrestling season, veteran McPherson High School wrestling coach Doug Kretzer announced his retirement at the conclusion of the season, which left McPherson searching for its first wrestling coach in more than 20 years.
