SEDAN — A battle of unbeatens fell in favor of the home squad Friday.
Yates Center High’s Wildcats, off to their best start in 50 years, fell to 5-1 with a 56-8 setback to unbeaten Sedan.
The loss drops Yates Center to 5-1 overall and 2-1 in district play in a game that started a three-game gauntlet to end the regular season.
Sedan’s balanced attack was a monster from start to finish. The Blue Devils rushed for 246 yards and passed for 189 more.
Yates Center compiled 156 rushing yards — individual statistics were unavailable — but had trouble getting into the end zone.
The Wildcats’ lone score came on a Jaron Morrison 25-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Problem was, Sedan already led 36-0.
Next up is a home game against Marmaton Valley (4-2 and 2-1) before the season ends Oct. 22 at 6-1 (2-1) West Elk.
