Eagles adjust after slow start Webb City started the night with a 10-play scoring drive against Seneca that culminated in Jeremiah Box’s two-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-goal. Webb City’s second team offense tacked on a touchdown six plays later when Drake found Brandon Williams from 25 yards out.
Seneca’s offense was solid, scoring on a 15-yard pass from Jake Rhoades to Nick Chasten against Webb City and then jolting Joplin for a pair of quick scores, including another Rhoades-to-Chasten touchdown. “I was pretty pleased execution-wise,” Seneca head coach Rob Townsend said. “We did some good things and I don’t think our first team jumped off sides once, which is always good this early.” The Indian defense allowed just one Joplin score, the 40-yarder from St. Clair to Kolkmeyer, but it took the Eagles 11 plays to find the end zone. “Our intensity and hitting were great,” Townsend said. “At times we may have lacked a little focus, but that happens at these jamborees ... I was pleased with the intensity.” Joplin opens its season at home next Friday against Glendale while Webb City travels to Harrisonville and Seneca journeys to Neosho.
