Following a 40-37 double-overtime loss to Tyler Junior College Oct. 10, KC head coach J.J. Eckert said his team had no room for error.

Apparently, his message was well-received.

The Rangers won their second straight conference game with a 68-36 demolition of the Northeastern Oklahoma Golden Norsemen Oct. 24 at R.E. St. John Memorial Stadium.

Despite a lopsided win over the Northeastern Oklahoma Golden Norsemen, KC head coach J.J. Eckert was concerned about the alarming amount of penalties piled up by the Rangers.

KC was flagged 15 times for 125 yards, a number which does not include multiple plays which featured off-setting penalties.

“Obviously, that’s something we have to fix,” Eckert said. “Late in the season that’s something that can come back to haunt you.”

The flags included a variety of infractions, including three personal fouls.

Facebook has become a major distraction for college students when it comes to homework.

When it comes down to the night before a major assignment is due, many students can’t keep their eyes off of Facebook and get to work. We just want to know what it is going on in people’s everyday lives. Changing our status and adding new photos is what most of us look forward to once we sign in into Facebook.

A lot of people today are addicted to the networking sites, and one day it might just take over our social lives. Some spend more time on Facebook than they do on more important things that need to come first.

Despite losing five of its first six games, KC took a huge step toward the playoffs Saturday in Athens.

Not only did the Rangers get their first conference win, 39-24 over Trinity Valley Community College, the squad could also be in sole-possession of the final playoff spot with another victory this week.

A KC victory over Northeastern Oklahoma A&M (1-3) this week coupled with a Cisco (1-3) loss to Blinn College (4-0) would move the Rangers into fourth place in the SWJCFC, ahead of Cisco, NEO and TVCC (1-4).
