Brady Clark capped an Osage comeback to beat Moberly 38-35:
Brad Boyer with the call on nemopressbox.com. Moberly built a 21-0 lead by halftime on a pair of Ka’Von Tiger touchdown runs and this pass play late in the second quarter:
The 10th ranked Indians caught early second half momentum by taking the opening drive to the endzone, recovering a fumble on the ensuing kick and turning that short field into seven more points to make it 21-14. The Spartans answered on a Keegan Graves five-yard TD run. After Osage made it a one-score game, Moberly converted this 4th down to push the lead back to 14:
Osage scored the final 17 points and in the midst of that the Spartans lost quarterback Drew Smothers to injury.
Tiger rushed for 150 yards and scored three touchdowns. The Moberly ground game accounted for an 304 yards averaging over six yards a carry. The Spartan offensive line is our Freeman Financial and Insurance Players of the Game. That group is Jorel Connor, Kendrick Cropp, Enrique Salazar, Landon Smith and Carter Bloss.
The Spartans drop to 0-2 and will travel to Warrensburg next Friday. We will have the broadcast on nemopressbox.com.
Osage improves to 2-0 and will next play Blair Oaks.
