Wildcats roll to Cubs open district on high note win over St. Paul ST. PAUL—Yates Center “bounced back” in a big way after a tough loss to Marais des Cygnes Valley with a 64-18 win over St. Paul Indians Friday night. “We just took care of business, it’s good to bounce back,” Head Coach Ben Weihn said following the game. The Wildcats put 22 points on the Indians in the first quarter, and another 30 in the second. The Indians only put up 18 in the first half, and were held scoreless in the third to end the game by mercy rule. “We just played really well,” Weihn said. “We knew we were the better team.”
The Wildcats had 380 yards of total offense in just three quarters — 315 from the ground, and 65 from the air — with some stellar individual performances as well. Calen DeNoon rushed for 183 yards, and had 25 receiving yards. Austin McNett rushed for 71 yards, and had 40 yards receiving. DeNoon contributed seven touchdowns in the contest, McNett and Sophomore Ty Spencer contributed a score as well. Defensively, McNett led in unassisted tackles with 14, followed by Justin Rossillon with 12 and DeNoon with nine.

EUREKA — The Humboldt Highs Cubs were playing in full-form Friday night against the Eureka Tornadoes, in a win that gives their district championship hopes a substantial boost. The Cubs came out on top in Eureka, 34-20, following up a close first half with an explosive second. “I was really proud of our kids,” Head Coach K.B. Criss said. “Fighting back after a couple of big losses and getting the win on the road.” Jacob Carpenter capped a Humboldt drive to open the scoring in the contest, with an 11-yard rush to the end zone — Caleb Vanatta’s 3-yard rush for the point after was good.
Following a Tornado score to cut the lead to 8-6, Hunter Murrow picked off Eureka for a 47-yard touchdown to start the second quarter. Eureka’s Colton Pitko hit DeAllen Nelson for a 68-yard touchdown pass to cut Humboldt’s lead to 16-12 going into the half. Another “tone-setting” play from Vanatta to start the second half gave the Cubs the boost they needed. He returned the opening kickoff 84-yards for a Cub touchdown. “I thought Hunter’s pick six was a huge play in the first half and Caleb’s kickoff return to start the second half gave us the momentum and set the tone,” Criss said.
Despite another fruitful drive for the Tornadoes, an 25-yard Alex Murrow touchdown pass to Justin Meins at the end of the third, coupled with a 55-yard Vanatta rushing touchdown in the fourth, put the win in the books for the Cubs. Vanatta led in rushing with 16 carries for 136 yards, followed by Carpenter with nine carries for 32 yards. From the air, Alex Murrow completed seven passes on 12 attempts for 85 yards. Meins had three receptions for 55 yards, and Hunter Murrow had three receptions for 27 yards. According to Criss, the Cubs’ defense had a “bend, but not break” strategy for the evening.
They allowed 318 yards of offense from the Tornadoes, but snuffed out several drives. Zach Osborn led the Cubs in solo tackles with 10, followed by Carpenter with seven and Hunter Murrow with six. The Cubs picked off the Tornadoes four times as well. Hunter Murrow had two, Carpenter and Meins had one apiece. The Cubs travel to Fredonia in another key district matchup Friday. Their league record stands at 1-0. Humboldt 8-8-12-6—34 Eureka 6-6-8-0—20 Humboldt Eureka First downs 7 8 Rushing 32/157 28/114 Passing-yds 85 204 Total Offense 242 318 Passing 7-12 17-40 Fumbles 2 1

next play from scrimmage to push lead to 31-0. The halftime break did little to slow the Blue Comet charge. Iola’s second play from scrimmage in the third quarter was picked off by Chanute’s Derek Sharp. Wiltse found Dakota Gough on a 28yard pass on fourth-andone, setting up Joyce’s second touchdown of the night, a 3-yard run.
THE MUSTANGS had two choices from there: slink their tails and go quietly into the frigid night, or to fight back. Fight back, they did. While the Mustang offense still could not find its rhythm against the stout Blue Comet defense, Iola’s defenders amped up their play a few notches.

Eric Maxwell blasted Wiltse on one incomplete pass shortly before Adam Kauth leveled a Blue Comet receiver on another incompletion. Iola forced a fumble and punt on Chanute’s next two possessions. A bad snap on another Blue Comet punt led to a fumble recovery by Iola’s Kaden Macha, who returned the ball to the Chanute 8. Macha kept the ball on the next two plays, running in the second on a 1-yard keeper for Iola’s sole score. “I was very proud of how the guys fought back in the second half,” Kerr said, “and it wasn’t like we were doing it against their backups. They had their starters in until the end. We challenged the guys at halftime to play their best 24

minutes of the season, and I think we did that. It was 7-7 after halftime.” After erupting for more than 320 yards of total offense in the first two quarters, the Blue Comets were held to just 65 in the second half. But Chanute’s defense was there to make sure Iola could draw no closer. The Mustangs were limited to 149 yards of total offense on the night, and only 19 yards passing. John Whitworth led the Mustang ground game with 43 yards on nine carries. Macha and Brice Aiello rushed for 34 yards apiece. McIn-
tosh was 4 of 12 passing for 19 yards. Kauth had two receptions for 12 yards; Trent Latta had two catches for seven. Macha led the Iola defense with 14 tackles, including six solos. Derrick Weir, Bryce Misenhelter and Jesse Zimmerman had seven stops apiece. Shane Walden had a quarterback sack. Maxwell and Macha recovered fumbles. Macha also had a strong night punting, with three 50-yard-plus punts. He averaged 45 yards per punt. Friday’s contest was played in a light mist,
with temperatures in the 30s and a strong north wind that kept the wind chill to near freezing. “Our kids really brought it in the second half,” Kerr said. “I just wish we could’ve brought it in the first quarter.”
