PITTSBURG — Humboldt High’s Cubs had a tall order in Kansas Class 2-1A district play Friday night. The Cubs had to find away to stop powerhouse Pittsburg-St. Mary’s-Colgan High’s Panthers.
It didn’t happen. Colgan scored 34 points in the first quarter on its way to a 43-0 win.
“Colgan is a tough team and one of the best in the state. We were overmatched tonight,” said Mike Miller, Cub head coach.
“We just hope our kids keep learning from the losses. They need to come to practices to work to get better.”
Miller said the Panthers scored five touchdowns in the first quarter but only had three offensively plays.
“That’s how our night went.”
Humboldt got 21 yards on two carries from Caleb Vanatta. Tanner McNutt had two catches for 11 yards.
Ryna Gean made 12 tackles for the Cub defense. Jacob Carpenter had 10 tackles.
