Schlagle High School pulled away from Wyandotte in the second half to gain a 41 – 13 victory on Friday night at Schlagle Stadium.

Schlagle’s nationally ranked running back Ivan Webb started out slowly, putting one touchdown on the board midway through the second quarter, but otherwise being held in check by the Wyandotte defense. Shamar Bush pulled in a pass from Brayden Soza to put the Stallions ahead, 13 – 0.

Wyandotte fought back, scoring twice in the last 5 minutes of the second quarter to pull the game even at 13 – 13 at halftime.

Webb took advantage of strong offensive line play and his own powerful running to take over the game in the third quarter, scoring three touchdowns, including a 60-yarder. Brayden Soza scored on a quarterback keeper in the fourth quarter to complete the scoring.

Schlagle moves to 3 – 0 in Kansas City – Atchison League standings (5 – 0 overall) and plays at Sumner next Friday. Wyandotte drops to 1 – 2 in the league (1 – 3 overall), and plays at Washington.

Turner High School used its ground game to dominate the Bishop Ward Cyclones on Ward’s home field on Friday. Jaelon Harley scored four rushing touchdowns and Jaylin Richardson scored two more in the 54 – 12 victory.

Turner set the tone for the game on the first possession, scoring on a 3-yard Harley run that followed a 50-yard pass play to Tyler Wiggins. Turner kept up the pressure, scoring twice more in the first quarter on runs from Harley and Richardson.

Turner’s defense closed the first half strong, using an interception return by linebacker Jack Wiedner and a fumble recovery by lineman Ryan Johnson to push the score to 47-6 at halftime. A Harley touchdown run in the third quarter capped the Turner scoring at 54.

The Ward team, which has struggled to score this year, put two touchdowns on the board. Adrian De Haro returned the first Turner kickoff of the game for a touchdown. Ward also scored on a long touchdown pass from Drew Collins to Quincy Tabron in the fourth quarter.

Before the game, Ward honored former football coach Tim Dorian, who died in July. Many alumni and former teachers were on hand for the remembrance.

Turner is now 2 – 2 for the season and plays Piper at home next Friday. Bishop Ward drops to 0 – 4 and travels to play Sumner Academy.
