Western Kentucky Trounce Kennesaw State 31-14 to Lock Up Another Bowl Game

Last week, the Kennesaw State Owls picked up one of the program’s most notable wins, downing their first FBS opponent in a victory over Liberty. This week, however, the Owls couldn’t find the same magic against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

WKU’s offense was firing on all cylinders Wednesday night, on the way to a 31-14 win. Here’s what stood out from Tyson Helton’s latest blowout victory.

Another Big Day From The WKU Offense

The Tops totaled 462 yards of offense on Wednesday, their fifth time going over the 400-yard mark this season. Running back Elijah Young had a season-best performance, carrying 15 times for 114 yards.

Through the air, Caden Veltkamp was again very productive, completing 17 passes on 22 attempts for 276 yards and three touchdowns. A completion percentage of 77% was his second-highest this season.

Easton Messer’s Highlight-Reel Touchdown

Redshirt sophomore Easton Messer had arguably the biggest offensive play of the night. In the first quarter, Messer caught a pass from Veltkamp on what appeared to be a post route. Messer sprinted to the end zone for a 64-yard score, with roughly 55 of those yards coming after the catch.

What It Means & What’s Next

The Tops improve to 6-2 overall and 4-0 in conference play with the win. WKU have now reached bowl eligibility for six consecutive seasons. Their conference record also keeps them at the top of the CUSA standings for another week.

Jacksonville State also won on Wednesday night, meaning both the Tops and the Gamecocks are 4-0 in league games this season.

WKU will face New Mexico State on November 9 in Las Cruces, looking to pick up their seventh win and secure their fourth consecutive winning season. Kennesaw State face UTEP in El Paso that same day.

Beechwood’s Tyler Fryman commits to the Kentucky Wildcats

Beechwood senior wide receiver Tyler Fryman has committed to University of Kentucky football and baseball according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.

Fryman made the change to the Wildcats on June 26, just three days after announcing he was decommitting from Louisville Cardinals baseball. Fryman had been committed to Louisville since 2023.

The four-star recruit took an official visit to Kentucky on June 19. A week later, he’s flipped his school and added a new sport.

For Beechwood last season, Fryman caught 62 passes for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was also the 9th Region Player of the Year in baseball and an indoor track state champion.

Fryman also had football offers from Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ole Miss among others.

They say search efforts are focused on the water at this time and include Kentucky State Police aerial support, drones, boats, and K9 assistance.

Crews suspend search for missing teen for the night

The search is now into its third day, with officials saying on and off rain has hindered their search and that a group of 50 volunteers are walking the banks of the lake to help in the search.

Search and rescue boats have been seen at the lake as well.

Officials say there are still many questions, including if Kinney is still alive and where exactly she went missing.

They also say they’ve been using a variety of equipment, including sonar and thermal detectors, as well as helicopters and underwater drones.

WSAZ received a statement from Kinney’s family Friday afternoon:

“We are very appreciative of the absolute surplus of support from law enforcement, search and rescue, 1st responders, and all of the community and its volunteers that are here with us and for us searching for Marly. We do not even know how to express our absolute gratitude to you all. We continue to have faith she will be found and brought back to us. We know we have the very best people doing all they can to bring her home.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

We are still working to get more information.
