JV Plays Well But Falls Short at Pleasant Ridge

The Christ Prep Patriot JV saw its first action last night as it took on Pleasant Ridge High School in Easton, Kansas. Points after touchdowns made the difference in the final score as the JV fell 16-12. The Patriots found themselves down early as Pleasant Ridge scored a quick TD only a few plays after the Patriot’s opening kickoff. After that touchdown and the ensuing 2-point conversion, the Patriots settled down and competed well in all phases of the game. CPA scored two touchdowns on runs from Jacob Bronars and Jack Layman. An outstanding touchdown pass and catch from Layman to Kellen Mannix was called back due to a penalty. CPA recovered, however, scoring a few plays later. The Patriot defense showed well and dished out its share of punishment to Pleasant Ridge.

The Patriot JV returns to the field next Monday for a matchup against Kansas City Central. The varsity's next contest is this Saturday evening at home (SM North Field) against KC Northeast.
