Worth County is nearing a second straight undefeated season as they beat King City 58-6 Monday. They have two more games to play, at home against North Andrew and at Stanberry. This group also went undefeated in 5th and 6th grade.
Unlike the Bedford game, where they dug their way into a 22-0 hole, they came out strongly out of the gates and only needed three plays to score after getting the ball at their own 30. Cole Ruby picked up four to the 34, then Bo Collins picked up seven to the 39. From there, Cole Roby bounced outside and got blocks from Caleb New and Bo Collins to take it to the house with 6:40 left. Bo Collins' catch and run gave the Tigers an 8-0 lead.
King City got the ball on their own 25, and they tried the jet sweep, but Ethan Lininger was there to blow it up for a loss of four. They tried to fake the jet sweep, but Hayden Sanders stopped it for just two. Caleb New broke up a third down pass and King City was forced to punt. The punt was a bad snap and Ethan Lininger nearly blocked it, and they barely got it away to the 39. Worth County only needed one play to score as Hayden Sanders took an option designed to go right, cut it back in, and found daylight down the left side, breaking a tackle and taking it to the house for 41 yards with 4:49 left. Bo Collins took the pitchout, got blocks from Cole Ruby and Reyen Hansen, and got in to make it 16-0.
Lucas Boone tried two carries for King City that went for three yards after they set up at their own 27. Ethan Lininger flushed Landon Carlson out of the pocket and forced an incompletion. But then King City elected to go for it and aired it out successfully from Carlson to Jax Jundy for 50 yards with 3:06 left. Hayden Sanders stopped Boone's two point conversion try to keep Worth County's lead at two possessions at 16-6.
Worth County got the score right back after King City kicked its first ball out of bounds and then tried an onsides kick that Worth County recovered at the King City 35. Cole Ruby got blocks from Caleb New and Bo Collins for 15 yards to the 20, and then Hayden Sanders aired it out to Collins with 2:20 left in the first. Bo Collins threw a halfback screen to Hayden Sanders for the extra points to make it 24-6.
Jonathan Garlock caught a short pass for six to the 36 after Jude Archer dropped Cayden Wainscott at the 30 on the kickoff. But King City tried to air it out, only for it to go astray, and then Jude Archer broke up a pass on third down. They elected to go for it, but Hayden Sanders got a sack, and Worth County got the ball in King City territory again at the 30. Cole Ruby picked up two to the 28, and then Bo Collins' catch and run went the distance as he ran right through three would be tacklers as time expired in the first quarter.
The ensuing kickoff bounced off Lucas Boone, but he fell back on it at the 40. King City got a promising drive. They were faced with fourth and three after Ethan Lininger and Cole Ruby blew up a quick hitter, but Hayden Wright caught a 16 yard pass to the 17. Potter took it five yards to the 12, but then Jude Archer got the first of two picks at the seven to kill the drive. Worth County got out of the hole with a 22 yard run from Cole Ruby, but then later, Landon Carlson picked off Hayden Sanders as he tried to force it into Bo Collins, who was surrounded by three purple shirts.
But Worth County got the ball back after Hayden Sanders got a sack. King City tried to air it out, but Cole Ruby broke it up. A halfback pass resulted in a sack from Ethan Lininger, and a bad snap on a punt resulted in another sack from Lininger and the Tigers got the ball on the King City 8. A fake handoff to Bo Collins fooled everyone, and Hayden Sanders walked into the end zone with 46 seconds left in the half to make it 36-6. Like Bedford, King City sold out to stop Bo Collins, but that left everyone else wide open.
Ryder Smyser dropped Boone at the 40 after he tried to return a short kick, and then Ethan Liniger got his third sack in the last two series. Potter scrambled for seven back to the Tiger 38, but then King City tried a halfback pass with 19 seconds left and Lininger and Bentley Frisch got a quarterback hurry to force an incompletion. King City tried to air it out, but overthrew it and Worth County went into halftime with a 36-6 lead.
King City got the ball back to start the second half, but on its first play from scrimmage at the 30, Ethan Lininger blew up a quarterback keeper. Landon Carlson went back to pass, but Jude Archer jumped a short route and took it to the house with 7:04 left to make it 44-6. Hayden Sanders ran in the extra points.
A couple of quick hitters got King City a first down to the 37, but then a sweep got blown up, Ryder Smyser pounced on Carlson after a bad snap back to the 20, and Boone could only get five back to the 25. King City tried to go for it and aired it out, but it was too far, and Worth County took over on downs. Two holding penalties which wiped out scored moved them back to the 36, but then Hayden Sanders aired it out to Caleb New with 56 seconds left. Jude Archer ran in the extra points to make it 52-6.
After King City set up shop at their own 34, Ryder Smyser dropped Carlson for a loss of one. An incomplete pass forced third and one, and Carlson met Hayden Sanders, Ryder Smyser, and Bo Collins after a two yard gain to set up fourth and nine. A late hit, when Bo Collins didn't see a King City receiver and ran into him, gave King City new life at the 30, and Jax Jundy, who burned the Tigers earlier, took a nine yard counter to the 21. But then Boone's quick hitter ran into a black wall as Caleb New, Ethan Lininger, and Hayden Sanders met him for a loss of two. Boone tried again, only to meet Hayden Sanders and Jude Archer, and then Hayden's one on one tackle on Boone one yard short gave Worth County the ball back at the 21.
The Tigers only needed one play to score with 2:49 left in the fourth when Hayden Sanders got tangled up with Bo Collins, but as the King City players were converging in on Bo, Hayden took the handoff and was off to the races, bouncing outside and scoring to make it 58-6.
