KCKCC women close home soccer season Thursday after 2-1 loss
by Alan Hoskins, KCKCC
Kansas City Kansas Community College’s women will close out their home season Thursday after dropping another one-goal loss on Tuesday. The home finale Thursday will come at 2 p.m. against Maple Wood.
Coffeyville made a 2-0 halftime lead stand up Tuesday, taking a 2-1 Jayhawk Conference win. It was the third straight loss by one goal for the Lady Blue Devils, who fell to 6-8 on the season.
“We really competed well,” KCKCC coach Shawn Uhlenhake said. “We had a lot of play outside their goal with several scoring opportunities but just could not capitalize.”
Madison Plake, a freshman from DeSoto, scored KCKCC’s lone goal on a header after taking a pass from Carmen Rush, also a freshman from DeSoto. The goal came with 29 minutes left in the second half.
The Blue Devils will close out Jayhawk Conference play next week, playing at Johnson County Tuesday at 2 p.m. and at Butler Friday at 4 p.m.
UG Commission to consider development projects Oct. 12
Some economic development projects are on the Thursday, Oct. 12, Unified Government Commission meeting agenda.
An ordinance would authorize issuing up to $150 million in industrial revenue bonds for RELP Turner LLC, the Amazon project.

Since then, it has received incentives from the Kansas Department of Commerce, which results in the request for not more than $150 million in bonds.
Another agenda item would authorize the UG to enter into an assignment and assumption of development agreement at the Legends Auto Plaza. It is with KCK Development II Inc. and CAR BAX Ks PAR LLC. According to the agenda, this came about because of a change in ownership.
