        Maybe this was all inevitable, Kansas State&amp;rsquo;s emergence as the only team capable of seizing control of the embarrassingly mediocre Big 12 North.

        The most dangerous team in the state began this season with new faces in glamour positions while its best player &amp;mdash; a pint-sized tough guy &amp;mdash; walked around the practice field in street clothes. At that time, its head coach laughed at the thought that he might be a sadist for enjoying being around these guys so much. Then two games in, this team goes to Hutchinson and gets the blue and white kicked out of it. Those qualifications don&amp;rsquo;t exactly strike fear in opponents. And certainly not the beginning you would have expected from tradition-rich Rockhurst. But flash ahead to Friday night &amp;mdash; the Hawklets look nothing like the team they were a couple of months ago. While blowing out Liberty 35-14 in a Class 6 sectional playoff game and setting up a classic Rockhurst-Blue Springs grudge match, the Hawklets looked like the team they grew to be: the most dangerous team in the state.

        Priest Holmes, you probably know, was an odd guy when he was the running back for the Chiefs. His teammates did not understand him at all. He liked to be left alone. He liked to play games like chess and Scrabble in his spare time. He was proudly cheap; he would go to extreme lengths to save a dollar here or there. He would change his cell number every three weeks. He would walk off in the middle of conversations &amp;mdash; not maliciously, but just because &amp;hellip; well &amp;hellip; just because that was Priest Holmes.

        LAWRENCE | For all the underachievement and disappointment in the Big 12 North this season, at least the division will be spared a final indignity. There will be no confusion about the winner, no drilling into the conference tie-breaker rule book to unlock four 4-4 teams or some such season-ending pile-up of mediocrity.

        People are talking a lot about the importance of Billy Butler and Alex Gordon emerging for the Royals to do some things, and also about the starting pitching, and that&amp;rsquo;s all fine and true and important.
