From the desk of Monsieur French: Tuesday, September 28th the 8th Grade CMS Hornets hosted Macon's 8th Grade team after the 7th Grade game. The Hornets had a good ground game going early; however, costly penalties forced a punt and another turnover on downs. One turnover deep in our own territory resulted in a Macon touchdown after an earlier Macon score to put the halftime score at Macon 12 - CMS 0. After halftime, the CMS 8th Grade defense decided to figure things out and get a few turnovers of their own. It also helped that the offense put together some good drives and finished them. Jack Marshall, Brenten "Hubby" Ralls, and Oliver Perry were standouts on offense with a long touchdown run behind the blocking of the offensive line - Benson Summers, Lance Sayers, Colton Sullivan, Gavin Cooper, and Jackson Shafer. Also, the tight ends - Noah Rinehart and Connor Peery were overpowering their defensive ends, too. Defensively, Tylin Smith disrupted the middle of the line and had several tackles for loss. Cooper and Drake Swift were in the backfield and controlling their gaps on the defensive line, too. Rinehart and Peery were also our Defensive Ends causing havoc on the Macon sweeps and pass plays. Rinehart had several QB pressures and Peery had at least one fumble recovery. Marshall kept the defense together and made several tackles along with one near interception that would have led to an easy score for Jack. Special teams only had one costly penalty and had a good kickoff return by Rinehart and another by Gage VanDusen in his first action back from injury. Next week, we travel to Marshall and then end the season in two weeks back at home vs Kirksville. The 8th Grade record is now 1-2-1.

From Coach Inger Young: I wanted to take the opportunity to share how very impressed I was with CMS at the Platte County Invitational! Our runners did amazing on yet another hot and humid Missouri afternoon. Thank you to all the fans (family and friends) that support the runners in your presence on the course and behind the scenes. We really have a great group of runners and friends. They are so very good about supporting one another and working to improve as individuals as well. You can check race results at: https://www.morgansports.net/ Thank you for your help with the pre-meet meals and the Chillicothe Invitational. That was a big meet, on a hot day, at the beginning of a season. You were amazing support and help in getting concerns about runners to the right people, caring for those on the course and at the finish line, as well as providing information at check-in, parking and road closures. The course marshalls and finish line workers were sure valuable then and always. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! We also had much, much appreciated sponsorship from our community as well. Pepsi donated ALL the water and Gatorade at the finish, Chillicothe EMT and Paramedics for services at the meet (they are always there and ready to serve), HyVee with ice and a gift card, KCHI for sound system, Chillicothe Area Tourism and Sliced Bread Museum for the Home of Sliced Bread Champions t-shirts, Chillicothe Parks and Recreation, Chillicothe Municipal Utilities, Chillicothe Police Department (I am hoping I have not, but may likely have) forgotten someone. This is a big meet and one of the (if not the) best meets in our region. We sincerely thank you for your huge part in our meet's success! Coach Dickson and I have had many thankful exchanges regarding how wonderfully supportive our cross country families and community are! Tomorrow will be our first middle school only meet. It will be at Truman Middle School in St. Joseph. The meet will start at 4:00 with the 8th grade boys' race and will follow consecutively in the order 8th grade girls, 7th grade boys and 7th grade girls. Each race will be run separately and one race will follow the next, therefore I cannot give you exact race times. Each race is stated as being 1.25 -1.5 miles, so this course is a little shorter than other meets. We will leave from the CMS about 1:45 and we will return for parent pick up at CMS following the meet (because this is a MS only meet). Today will be a regular practice for MS ending at 5. Tomorrow will be a light practice followed by a pasta party meal (MS only). We will practice until 4:30 tomorrow and then enjoy a generously prepared meal at 4:30. I cannot thank you enough for these wonderful meals:)
