Fort Scott holds off #12 Coffeyville, 10-3; Hutch next on scheduleThe Fort Scott Greyhounds held off the #12 Coffeyville Red Ravens, 10-3, in a hard-fought defensive battle on Saturday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Coffeyville. The loss drops the Ravens to 1-1 in the KJCCC and to 1-2 overall. The Ravens will look to rebound on Saturday, September 15, when the Ravens host Hutchinson at 7 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Stadium. Although the Red Ravens struggled offensively against Fort Scott's defense, the top running defense in the conference coming into the game, the Ravens had many highlights of their own on the defensive side of the ball. Dominique Roulack recorded 16 tackles for the Ravens, six solo and 10 assisted. He also added two tackles for loss for four yards and had a pass break up. Ade' Manga had two solo tackles and seven assisted tackles. Garrick Maples had four solo and four assisted tackles and three tackles for loss for 16 yards. He also added a sack. Troy Epps had three solo and five assisted tackles. Larry Ford added a big sack for a loss of 13 yards. The Red Ravens held Fort Scott to just 184 yards of total offense. The Ravens actually out-gained the Greyhounds by 11 yards in total offense and held the advantage on time of possession, but a couple of missed opportunities would come back to haunt the Ravens. The Ravens trailed 7-0 into halftime with the only score being a first quarter Nicholas Adams touchdown reception from quarterback Greg Cross of the Greyhounds. The Ravens defense held Fort Scott on the opening series of the third quarter and the Ravens took possession of the ball on their own 17 yard line. The Ravens would march down the field keyed by a 19 yard Nate Guillory rush and a 23 yard run by A.J. Evans. Evans' run ended with a face mask penalty on the Greyhounds which moved the ball to the Fort Scott 14 yard line. Three plays later, the Ravens would have first and goal at the Greyhound four yard line. Two rushes by Guillory moved the ball to the one yard line, but the Greyhounds stopped two quarterback keepers by Dustin Moomau. A personal foul on the Ravens following the second run also gave the Greyhounds possession on the 16 yard line instead of being backed up to their goal line. The Ravens lone score came with 13:28 left in the fourth quarter when Lucas Ortiz connected on a 33 yard field goal, cutting the Greyhounds lead to 7-3. Fort Scott would answer with a field goal of their own with 7:01 left in the fourth quarter when Jared Oshel connected on a 27 yard attempt, making the score 10-3. Neither team would threaten again the rest of the way, leaving the final margin 10-3. The Ravens rushed for 135 yards with Guillory leading the way with 81 yards on 23 rushes. Evans ran for 42 yards on 11 carries and Bryant Williams had one rush for 22 yards. Moomau completed 7-of-26 passes for 60 yards with Ryan Specht the leading receiver with three receptions for 25 yards. Fort Scott didn't fare any better offensively.
