MORAN — Marmaton Valley High’s hopes to host a playoff game were doused Friday, with a 46-0 loss to visiting Lebo.

The Wildcats fell to 2-2 in district play (3-4 overall) with the loss, meaning they can finish no higher than third in the final district standings. The top two teams in each district will host a playoff game Oct. 27. The third- and fourth-place teams will be on the road the same evening.

The third-place seed will be determined this week when Marmaton Valley travels to St. Paul. The Indians also are at 2-2 in district action.

Brayden Lawson rushed for 46 yards and passed for 26 yards.
