Volleyball had an outstanding night last night as the 7th and 8th grade girls both took care of Hamilton in straight sets!
Cross Country had a good night in Cameron, with Carter Shipers finishing 2nd overall, and Luke Thompson coming in 3rd! On the ladies side, Lydia Gabrielson finished 5th!
Football, from the office of Coach French:
The Chillicothe 7th grade went to Kirksville, for their Tuesday night game. They ended up losing 22-12,
Jack Marshall scored both of the Chillicothe touchdowns. One was a sixty yard run in the first quarter. The other was a 3 yard run in the fourth quarter. Jaishon White, Olivia Jenkins, and Brenton Ralls all had multiple carries throughout the game. Coach Coult said that we came out slow, but in the second half, the offense finally found its groove.
Defensively, the Hornets played the run well, but the Kirksville quarterback was able to find some open men downfield and gained a chunk of their yardage through the air. Coach Sewell was happy with the run stop but noted that we will work on our coverages this week.
The 7th grade Hornets fall to 1-1, they have a rescheduled Marville game next Tuesday at home to finish off their season.
In the second game of the night, Kirksville’s 8th-grade team defeated Chillicothe’s 8th-grade team 26-0 as the 8th grade Hornets also fell to 1-1.
Coach Doug French and assistant coach Roman Cranmer give a lot of credit to Kirksville. They are a very talented team with many athletes who are well-coached. I also feel we could give them a better game with more consistency with our offense. Our offensive line was inconsistent with their protection on passes and didn’t execute as well as we had hoped. We looked very rusty after taking 36 days between games for days off, days on, and virtual conditioning practices in between.
Silas Midgyett had a good game running the ball and playing defense. Langston Johnson also had several good runs.
Defensively, along with Silas, Austin Covert, Bo Smith, and Trent Jacobs made some big plays along the front of the defensive line.
Kirksville was able to get enough protection that they connected on some long passes and put together some good drives. We had difficulty finding eleven that would all tackle - the rust shown through on defense, too.
