All of the top four teams easily won their games last Friday, gaining separation from the rest of the field. #1 Stanberry won their Homecoming tilt with North Shelby 64-6 in a game that was over at halftime. The Bulldogs were up 50-0 at halftime and the JV squads played for much of the second half. Cole Durbin rushed for 107 yards and threw for 59 more in the victory.
#2 Sacred Heart had little trouble disposing of Kansas City East, a Kansas school, 57-0. #3 Worth County had just as little trouble with Pattonsburg, winning 62-0 at halftime, fueled by a bunch of short fields to work with.
#4 Rock Port started off against Southwest Livingston with a safety, got a 42 yard run by Gavin Abbott for another score, and was off to the races. Stats were way down – Abbott had 60 yards to lead the Blue Jays and Jase Hughes threw for only 12, meaning a lot of short fields to work with for Rock Port. This 48-0 game was over at halftime.
#5 Mound City got a scare in Mound City before coming away with the 36-30 victory over South/Nodaway-Holt. Eric Ottman got on the board for the Spartans with a one yard run, and a Cole Alloway run put the Spartans up 16-12 at halftime. It looked like Mound City would retake the momentum with a 64 yard scoring run from T.J. Hopkins and another one from three yards out. But Weston Williams scored a one yard run and Cole Alloway an 18 yard run to put the Spartans up 30-28 in the fourth. Finally, Dylan Faller scored from two yards out to put Mound City up for good.
Albany, playing without Colton Coburn, scored first against #6 North Andrew on Harrison Kerchner’s 26 yard pass to Shay Cooper. Seth Bennett’s run made it 8-0. But then all hell broke loose as Jacob Powelson and North Andrew’s air attack got going as they scored the next 28 points. Albany tried to make a stand as Seth Bennett’s 11 yard run and Butterfield’s 42 yard run made it 36-20, but Powelson aired it out to Aiden DeLong and Cole Thardurn added a 44 yard run as North Andrew regained control. They pulled away to win 70-20.
#7 Greenfield had little trouble blanking Northwest/Hughesville, scoring 80 points in the first quarter and 96 by halftime, coming away with the 102-0 victory. It set a state record for the biggest margin of victory ever. The state record for points scored is 106 points, scored by Nodaway/South Holt against North/West Nodaway in a 106-57 victory in 2015. Worth County’s school record is 94 points, set once last year in a 94-50 victory over Pattonsburg and once in 2010 in a 94-48 victory over South Holt, which was not a cooperative school at that point with Nodaway-Holt.
#8 Hardin-Central, after getting a scare against Pattonsburg before winning 52-50, crashed and burned against Chilhowee, falling 32-22. Chilhowee has now posted five victories, which will give them the first .500 season in many years. They have at least three games left with a 5-2 record. They still have to play Sacred Heart; that game is Friday. Other chances to get a winning season include Kansas City East on the 13th and a district game the week after. Chilhowee had only one season with more than two wins since 2010 before this year.
#9 East Atchison survived a scare against Stewartsville before going on to win 46-28 in Stewartsville. They fell behind 14-0 in the second quarter; Gage Rush did all he could for the Cardinals in getting 18 carries for 133 yards for the night. The Wolves came back to tie it 14-14 at halftime and the game continued to go back and forth with EA leading 30-28 after three. But finally, Gage McAdams scored off a 45 yard punt return to permanently swing the momentum in East Atchison’s favor and they went on to win 46-28.
#10 King City beat Braymer 60-24, but this one was close for a while. It started off easy as Jacob Moen’s scoop and score put King City up. But Braymer came back to within 8-6 after one quarter. Moen did all he could go put King City in control, getting scores of 36 and 18, but Braymer hung around until Collin Breckinridge’s 49 yard strike to A.J. Saunders put King City in control up 30-12 at half.
