Marmaton Valley Junior High won with an offensive explosion Thursday, defeating Yates Center 70-54 in eight-man football.
Marmaton Valley head coach Dan Uhlrich noted his team lost to Yates Center, 20-12, in the opener.
“This was a nice win,” he said. “Yates Center scored on many big plays. We have to do a better job of eliminating those plays.”
Braydon Lawson made sure it didn’t matter, scoring six rushing touchdowns and three extra points. Dierks Kegler added three touchdowns and a pair of extra points. Lawson also completed his only pass of the game, an 18-yard connection with Kason Becker.
“We had many positives,” Uhlrich said.
Marmaton Valley returns to action Thursday against Northeast-Arma.
