Wings Star Chico Borja’s Legend Lives On After Death

Former Wichita Wings indoor soccer team all-star midfielder Hernan “Chico” Borja, 61, died Thursday after a long battle with cancer. Borja starred for Kansas’ first major league sports team from 1985 to 1987 and 1988 to 1994. Borja was the Wings all-time leader in assists and fourth in goals scored. He led the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) in assists during the 1988-89 season. With 30 career game-winning goals, second-most in team history, Borja grew to become one of the most popular players on the team.

Wichita Sitcom Pilot Debuts Friday on PBS Kansas

The pilot for Wichita Madhouse, a new locally-produced sitcom, airs this Friday at 8 p.m. on PBS Kansas (KPTS). Directed and written by PBS Kansas executive producer Jim Grawe, this independently-produced television show stars real-life Wichita TV personalities Anthony Powell and Sierra Scott as a divorced couple who continue to live together because neither wants to give up the house. “Each tries to drive the other out. I thought that would create possibilities for different characters and constant conflict that might be funny,” Grawe said. The 24-minute-long pilot is intended to fill up the traditional half-hour timeslot used by most situation-comedies.
