The Johnson-Brock Eagles remain undefeated after opening the Class D-2 football players with an 82-3 rout of Pender. The game was played late Thursday afternoon, Oct. 25 at Johnson. The Eagles, second seed in the East bracket, are 9-0 on the season. Pender, 15th seed ends its season 4-5.

It became evident early in the game that the Pendragons were outmanned and in for a tough time as the Eagles raced out to a 34-0 lead after one quarter. The Pender coaching staff only had a few more players make the trip to Johnson that were needed to play Eight-Man Football. Apparently, three players were unable to attend as they were participating in the FFA National Convention.

TECUMSEH - It was a battle of 2 cities along the Hwy 50 stretch on Friday night, October 19th in Tecumseh, as the Syracuse Rockets traveled a short 20 minutes south to meet up with the Thunderbirds. It was Homecoming for Johnson County Central, which seemed to provide some extra motivation for the

Thunderbirds, as they got off to an early lead, and never gave it up. The Thunderbirds fired right out of the gate, driving 88 yards on their first possession, ending with a Simon Rother 1 yard touchdown run. Uriel Cabrales added the PAT to make it 7-0 JCC. It was much of the same in the rest of the first half, as the Thunderbirds found the end zone five more times, on scores from Josh Bailey, Kole Kleespies and Levi Dorsey, who both had rushing and receiving scores. The Rockets did find the end zone in the 2nd quarter on a 42-yard pass play, making it JCC 39, Syracuse 8 at the half

Three plays later, Tristan Dirks found the end zone on a 10 yard run with 8:37 left. The Jets had their problems all night with the PATs however, as they had their first PAT kick blocked and it remained 6-0.

On Lewiston’s first drive of the night, Jasa went to work on defense by picking off an errant pass to get the ball back for Sterling at their own 10 yd. line.
