    Pershing County 4-H teaches situational awareness

    Picture a kid riding their bike home from school. Up ahead, they see a pothole and swerve to avoid it. “That’s good S.A.,” says Vince Boone. He’s talking about situational awareness, the state of knowing what is going on around you. Alternatively, the bicyclist would have hit the pothole and crashed.
    Last Friday, the Pershing County 4-H self-defense club gathered at the community center for their first meeting. About a dozen young people paid close attention to Boone, a military veteran, EMT and former nightclub bouncer. He put years of on-the-job training to use in his new role as a 4-H leader.      Continue this story

    Still playing: Bills, Bucs risen from Super Bowl droughts

    In the 1990s, the Bills buffaloed their way to four successive — if not successful — Super Bowls. No other franchise has managed that.
    About a decade later, the long-downtrodden Buccaneers swashbuckled to an NFL title.
    Ever since, pretty much nothing for those teams. Until now.
    Next weekend, Buffalo, which last got this far in the 1993 season, heads to reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City. 
    And the Chiefs could be missing their dynamic star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, who was concussed in a 22-17 victory Sunday over Cleveland.
