Senior Profile: Jesse Mann

Jesse Mann  #41


Jesse Mann, the son of Wade and Barb Mann, has been a part of the Christ prep football program for five years. This football program has meant a lot to him as he grew in mind and spirit during his high school years. He would like to thank his coaches for investing their time in his life and teaching him to be a godly Christian. He would also like to thank his parents for training him in righteousness and encouraging him to live for Christ. Jesse has played many different positions throughout his time with the team, but his favorite positions are fullback and linebacker. The Lord has helped Jesse greatly during his high school years, He has shown Jesse humility and reminds him constantly that He is the only God and is to be glorified. One of Jesse’s favorite verses is 1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”

Christ Prep 41 Immaculata 24

Jesse Mann had 19 tackles and Timothy Finley passed for five touchdowns and ran for another as Christ Prep beat Immaculata 41-24 Friday night in Leavenworth, Kans. The Patriots clicked on all cylinders and got back into the win column for the second time in the 2011 season. Zach Hershberger caught three of the five touchdown passes and Jack Layman and Jesse Mann added one each.

The game might not have been as close as the score indicated as the Raiders scored 16 of their 24 points late in the game.  With the win, the Patriots move to 2-6 for the year. Immaculata falls to 1-7.

Chase Roberts #77


Chase Roberts, the son of Brett and Elaine Roberts, has played football for Christ Prep for six years. In those years he has played nose guard, defensive tackle, defensive end, and offensive tackle, all positions on the line. This year and last year he also kicked for the team. As well as playing football, he has also wrestled with Christ Prep for two years and run track for one. He hopes to be accepted into the U.S. Naval Academy and become a Midshipman there next fall, and from there, graduate into the Marine Corps as a Second Lieutenant. He would like to thank his parents for being supportive of his endeavors on the football field, as well as every other area of life through the years, and his coaches for their instruction.

Patriots Lose to Onaga 22-7

In a game of smashmouth football, the Onaga Buffaloes beat the Christ Prep Patriots 22-7 Friday night at Center High School. The Patriots scored on their first play from scrimmage on a 92 yard run by senior Jesse Mann. After Timothy Finley's ensuing PAT, however, CPA would not find the end zone again. Onaga scored two subsequent first half touchdowns and added a third in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. With the win, Onaga improves to 4-3 on the season. Christ Prep falls to 1-6.

Although CPA's ground game began promising with Mann's 92 yard run, the Patriots were limited to 112 total yards on 26 carries. Mann actually had 113 yards on 9 carries, so the remaining 15 team carries spread throughout the team resulted in negative yardage, primarily due to quarterback sacks.

The Patriots got about the same amount of yardage through the air as they did rushing. Timothy Finley was 9-17 for 134 yards with one interception. Jack Layman caught three balls for 61 yards while Zach Hersberger had four receptions for 51 yards.

Defensively, several Patriots had five or more tackles. Jesse Mann led the way with 16 stops, three assists and one sack. Regan Hurley and Grant Layman added eight tackles each while Chase Stamatis, Josh Yankoviz, and Jack Layman had five tackles a piece.

Patriots to Host Onaga

The Christ Prep Patriots will look for their second win this Friday night when they host the visiting Onaga Buffaloes. Although the 7:00 p.m. contest is a home game for CPA, it will be held at Center High School, located at 8715 Holmes Rd. in Kansas City, Mo. The venue will afford the Patriots a rare "Friday Night Lights" home game.

Onaga is 3-3 coming into the CPA matchup. The Buffaloes won big last week against Jackson Heights, holding the Cobras to 8 points while scoring 48. Christ Prep lost a close game 21-20 to the Uniontown Eagles.

Check back with us Friday night for game results.
