COMO-PICKTON EAGLES
The Eagles took the trek north to Pattonville competing in a dual scrimmage against Prairiland and Maud.
Both the junior varsity and varsity saw football action.
Ronnie Green, Como-Pickton first year head football coach, said he was pleased with results.
“We did well overall. We scored once and also got scored on. We had lots of bright sports to build on offensively. We did move the ball and had first downs. Our defense played well too,” Green said.
CUMBY TROJANS
The Trojans were also on the road Friday in football.
Cumby lost 1-0 at Blue Ridge.
“We gave up one big play play for 20 yards and it was the only score of the scrimmage,” said Tom Dracos, Cumby head football coach.
“We only allowed three first downs on defense and 35 total yards. Offensively, the Trojans showed some good signs. But our offense wasn’t in rhythm,” Dracos said.
Standouts on defense were Colby Lindsey, Jacob Dimidio and Jackson Hughes.
Quarterback Cameron Scott scrambled well but was limited with plays whistled dead in the scrimmage format.
“We didn’t want to take a chance of getting someone hurt,” Dracos said.
Cumby standouts were:
Elijah Pahcheka, Zain
Strickland, Fabian Camargo, Aiden Wenrich, Logan Butler and Cristian
Vizcaya.
“I am very excited
about how we looked overall in the scrimmage,” Dracos added.
