MORAN — Marmaton Valley’s Junior High football team throttled Pleasanton at home Thursday, 46-6.
The Wildcats (3-1) were the more physical bunch and controlled the line of scrimmage most of the game, only allowing Pleasanton to score one touchdown in a blowout win. Marmaton Valley was disciplined offensively, picking up a number of penalty yards. 
“Offensively, I have seen improvement, and that is the key,” Marmaton Valley head coach Dan Uhlrich said. “I was happy this week that we focused and got many free yards from being disciplined and focused on the task at hand.
Pleasanton scored once through the air but couldn’t get anything going outside of that. 
“I thought we tackled very well,” said Uhlrich. “Pleasanton had some great athletes, so this was nice to see.”
Marmaton Valley kicks off at Yates Center next Thursday at 4 p.m.
