CHETOPA — The Marmaton Valley Wildcats received a rude awakening from the Chetopa Hornets, just days after losing head coach Kent Houk.
The game ended at halftime 46-0, in accordance with the Kansas eight-man football mercy rule. Head Coach Kent Houk announced his resignation Wednesday evening.
The Hornets opened the onslaught in a big way for the first quarter, racking up 32 points. They finished off the Wildcats with another 14 in the second.
The Wildcats suffered at their own hand as well — they racked up nine penalties for 80 yards.
While all coaches agreed there is “a lot of improvement” that needs to be done, they also agreed it can be fixed.
Sage Hall led Marmaton Valley in rushing yards, with 90 on 14 carries, followed by Micheal Genn with 15 carries for 64 yards — he had the sole reception for the Wildcats for 12 yards.
