Sweet revenge

Last year, this was where Hartford stumbled.
On Friday night, the Jaguars showed they are not last year’s team, avenging a Week 3 loss to Marais des Cygnes Valley last season with a 66-28 win.
Hartford improved to 3-0 and senior running back Adam Ewy led the way, running for a season-high 155 yards and two touchdowns. Ewy also had three catches for 73 yards and another two touchdowns.
“He hadn’t really gotten the opportunity to bounce outside,” Hartford coach Patrick Gardner said. “Our offensive line were able to stick with people upfield and gave us a chance for a one-on-one opportunity, and when he’s one-on-one with somebody, he’s hard to bring down. Tonight he got that opportunity one-on-one, and he made them pay.”
The Jags dominated the Trojans up front, helping their backs rack up 292 yards. Quarterback Colten Barrett ran for 74 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Barrett was also efficient in the passing game, completing 8-of-14 passes for 124 yards and three touchdowns.
The Jaguars were playing without two starters on defense — linebacker John Payton and defensive tackle Ryan Welch — but they did more than enough to get the win. The Jags recovered two forced fumbles and also had an interception.
“Our defense is usually more solid than that,” Gardner said. “We missed a lot of tackles and had to slide some people around in places. I still thought when it came down to it, our special teams really stepped up tonight, and our defense really stepped up and played when it needed to.”

Lebo 56, Waverly 14
Things couldn’t be better around the Lebo football program.
The Wolves continued their turnaround season with another blowout win on Friday night, winning by a margin that coach Butch Jones said he never would have dreamed of.
“Waverly is a good team,” Jones said.
Lebo and its rushing attack-by-committee proved to be much better. Running back Devon Johnston and quarterback Trevor White led the way on the ground for the Wolves, who racked up 335 rushing yards as a team.
Johnston ran for 90 yards and a touchdown on only 10 carries, and White added 80 yards and three touchdowns on 10 carries.
White’s 42-yard TD run in the first quarter was the game-changing play, putting the Wolves ahead 16-0, and changing Waverly’s game plan in the process.
“I think that kind of set the tone for the ballgame, because that made them have to start doing some things instead of just running the ball,” Jones said. “They had to go to air a little bit because we were up.”
Waverly dropped to 1-2 with the loss, and Lebo improved to 3-0, tying its win total already from 2008.
“I’m real happy with our attitude and the way the kids have turned things around,” Jones said. “It all comes down to the mind. We come to practice with a much fresher attitude. We come to learn. I’m really pleased with our effort.
“The way they get out of the locker room and get to practice. Everything is just so much nicer, and it’s more fun and allows us to do more things. ... It’s just a whole different perspective.”

Olpe 62, Baxter Springs 0
Olpe improved to 3-0 with another convincing victory. The Eagle defense came up big, getting their second shutout in three games.
“Anytime you can shut out a 2-0 team, you have to be pleased,” Olpe coach Chris Schmidt said. “Our defense put together three interceptions and a safety. Bradley Argabright hit another big play on special teams early to get us rolling.”
Argabright kept it going with four touchdowns in the first half. Matt Redeker went 5-of-6 passing for 185 yards. The lone flaw for Redeker was an interception at the Baxter Spring 1-yard line, but that was quickly forgotten, as Austin Bass came up with a safety early in the first quarter.
Linden Stueve also put up big numbers with 11 carries for 122 yards and two touchdowns, including a 54-yard sprint to put the Eagles up 22-0 in the first quarter.
Olpe led 55-0 at half, which allowed Schmidt to spend some time focusing on development in the second half.
The Eagles are off to another quick start, similar to last season’s undefeated regular season. When asked if he had any predictions for this year, Schmidt just chuckled and said, “We’ll have to see how it goes, and take one game at a time.”

Osage City 27, Northern Heights 13
Northern Heights knew it needed to stop Jordan Tice on Friday night to win at Osage City, but that’s easier said than done.
