Patriots Lose Close One to Uniontown

The Christ Prep Patriots lost a heartbreaker to the Uniontown Eagles 21-20 Saturday night at Shawnee Mission North field.

The loss spoiled the Patriots' Senior Night, which honored the team's seven seniors--Josh Yankoviz, Shane Roberts, Chase Roberts, Jesse Mann, Jack Layman, Zach Hershberger, and Grant Collison.

During the game, QB Josiah Thill rushed for three touchdowns for Christ Prep, but Uniontown's three points after touchdown were the difference in scoring as the Patriots missed both a kick attempt and a pass attempt, respectively, after each of their first two touchdowns.  The Patriots also were assessed several penalties in key situations and just couldn't muster enough offense late to push through a winning touchdown.

The Patriots rolled up 266 yards on the ground on 31 carries. Jesse Mann led the Patriots with 171 yards on 14 attempts. Josiah Thill added 82 yards on 14 carries (and the three touchdowns). Thill was 11-24 passing for 80 yards and 2 interceptions. Thill hit Timothy Finley 4 times for 34 yards and connected with Jack Layman 3 times for 17 yards. Chris Mills caught two Thill balls for 11 yards. Shane Roberts and Jesse Mann had a reception each.  Besides the three Thill touchdowns, Jack Layman rushed for a two point conversion to cap the scoring.
