The Christ Prep Patriots had little time to reflect on last night's loss at West Platte as the team took the field at 1:00 p.m. today to play an 8-man contest against Steelville (Missouri). The game proved to be an offensive showdown with Christ Prep outlasting the Cardinals 64-44 at Shawnee Mission North field.Both teams rolled up several hundred yards rushing in a game that saw very little punting. Most of the scoring was done early in the game. The first quarter ended with CPA up 30-20 and the Patriots led 58-28 at intermission. Both teams scored one second half touchdown.
The Patriots rolled up 495 yards total rushing for the game. Junior quarterback Darren Wallace led CPA runners with 227 yards on 14 carries which produced two touchdowns. Senior RB Lenard Manuel added 132 yards on 10 carries while sophomore RB Jesse Mann added 113 yards on 13 carries with three touchdowns.
Wallace was 6 of 12 passing for 34 yards and three touchdowns. The receiving TDs were scored by Mann, sophomore WR Jack Layman and senior wideout Demonta Bailey.
Steelville added significant offense of its own as one of its running backs racked up over 400 yards in just a handful of carries.
Michael Force led all CPA tacklers with 11 while Jacob Bronars added six for the Patriots.
The CPA JV is in action Monday as it travels to University Academy for a 5:00 p.m. contest at 6801 Holmes. The Patriot varsity resumes play next Friday evening (October 2) as it visits the O'Hara Celtics in south Kansas City.

Love playing the Patriots - their passion for the sport and ability to play within the bounds of rules and good sportsmanship sets an example that I'm not ashamed to say we wish to emulate.
