Eudora Starts District Play

The Eudora football team faced Santa Fe Trail on Friday, Oct 18 and right from the start it looked like the game was going to be a close one. No one scored until the second quarter when sophmore Grant Elston scored a 31 yard touchdown run putting the Cardinals up 7-0. SFT tied the game with a touchdown pass in the third quarter. Then it looked as if SFT would take the lead driving the ball down the field, but they got stopped on the Cardinal’s 5 yard line and couldn’t score. The following offensive play for the Cardinals was not so good however; they fumbled it in the endzone and SFT recovered it for a touchdown, but junior Skyler Manley blocked the extra point which was probably the most important play of the game because then the Cardinals were only down 13-6. Late in the fourth quarter, Elston marched the Cardinals down the field for a game winning drive when he ran it in for a 1 yard touchdown. After a defensive stop, the game finally ended with the score of 14-13. On Friday, Oct. 25 the Cardinals will face district rival Ottawa at Eudora for senior night.
