Written by AO Saturday, 04 October 2008 12:07
The Marion High School football team battled a high-powered Hoisington team to a standstill for three quarters Friday (Oct. 3), and broke through with the 6-0 gamewinner 1:22 into the fourth frame. Drew Maddox did the honors, capping off a drive that began at the Marion 20 after the Cardinals missed a field goal try late in the third quarter.

The Tabor College football team stopped Friends University only once in the first half, forcing and recovering a fumble to end the Falcons second drive Saturday. Trailing 7-0, the Bluejays marched 25 yards on seven plays—18 of which came on a thunderous run by fullback Seth Ramsey—but ended up stymied on the Friends 19. In came the field goal unit, but porous blocking combined with a botched snap did not give kicker Marcus Manny a chance to put the Bluejays on the board. The Falcons took over on their own 27 and quarterback Alex Melugin promptly completed a 73-yard touchdown pass to Abe Kersting with 1:10 left in the first quarter.That for all intents and purposes ended the game, but the Falcons piled on, taking a 42-0 halftime...

Leppke then completed a 2-point conversion throw to Brad Klenda to whitewash over a missed PAT kick after Boone's run.In the second half Sterling repeatedly ripped big-gain runs through the Warrior defense, scheming to isolate running back Matt Foster against the Marion linebackers. But for as many long runs as they mustered, the Black Bears could not muster a drive to snap the shutout.
