Football: Week One: Leavenworth 41; SMN 16

On Thursday, August 30, the Indians played their first game against the Leavenworth Pioneers.

In the first half the Indians were led by Senior running-backs Henry Bell and Caleb Denman. Both backs scored touchdowns in the first half after being down 16-0. At the end of the half Leavenworth had the lead 22-16.

In the second half the skills of star running-back Jason Randell of Leavenworth took over. They ran away from the Indians winning the contest 41-16.

“It was a tough loss,” said athletic director George Sallas. “But a team is not defined by one game. Neither is the season.”

The next game will be Friday, September 7 at 7 p.m. against Olathe South. The game will be at the Olathe District Activity Center.
