CHETOPA — A banged up Marmaton Valley High boys team nevertheless had little to worry about Friday.
Even without senior starters Tyler Lord and Todd Stevenson due to injury, 11 of the 14 Wildcats who suited up for Friday’s tilt at Chepoa notched points.
Marmaton Valley blasted out of the gates to lead 25-2 after one period, 38-2 at the break and 48-4 by the end of the third quarter of what wound up a 50-7 romp.
The victory sends the Wildcats into the Christmas break at 3-4. The Wildcats resume play Jan. 6 at Southern Coffey County.
