ST. PAUL — Marmaton Valley Junior High crushed St. Paul, 44-0.
The Wildcats went ahead 14-0 after the first quarter before making it a 38-0 game by halftime. By the end of the third quarter, Marmaton Valley led 44-0.
“Our defense played really well last night,” Marmaton Valley head coach Dan Uhlrich said. “Pitching a shutout is always exciting. It is not easy to do in eight-man football. It was evident that we were the more physical team early on. We played aggressively and tackled well for it being the first game of the season.
“Last year we improved so much from week one to the last ball game,” he continued. “I hope to see the same progress with this team. We have a lot of challenges that lay ahead and know that we will have much tougher games ahead. I am excited for these challenges. We know we learn more from being tested and pushed.”
