MORAN — A spirited effort came up just short Thursday as Marmaton Valley Junior High dropped a 68-42 decision to Southeast-Cherokee.
“Southeast is a very quality team,” Wildcat head coach Dan Uhlrich said. “We had many stops, but we were giving up too much ground early.”
Cooper Scharff had a strong game running the ball, Uhlrich said. “I am glad he is on our team.”
But Marmaton was plagued by false starts and missed blocks, he continued. “On defense, we still need to continue to move forward on run plays and attack the ball. The team that wins the line of scrimmage most of the time wins the game.”
Marmaton Valley wraps up the 2022 season next Thursday at home against Crest.
“We will need to be disciplined,” Uhlrich said.
