| Patriots getting ready for Flint Hills Christian |
The Patriots faced stiffer competition at Flint Hills Christian but they were up to the challenge. CPA scored on their first possession when Kucera broke free on a toss sweep at mid-field and out ran the FHC defenders for an 8-0 lead. But the Eagles responded with a touchdown with 1:26 remaining in the first half.
Kucera burst around the right side on the ensuing kickoff for a special teams TD but the 2pt try was short giving the Patriots a 14-8 advantage. On the next play, Grant Stamatis recovered the muffed kickoff setting up a Wainscott to Kucera 30 yard TD. Then just before the end of the half, Metzdorf intercepted the Eagles to end the first half action with the score CPA 20 FHC 8.
In the 3rd quarter FHC took the opening kick and marched 55 yards for a TD to make it a one possession game. CPA responded by advancing to the Eagles 15 yard line only to have the drive stall. Faced with a 4th down and 20 from the 25 yardline Hurley called a halfback pass which caught the Eagles unaware. Kucera's pass to Carl Oakman was on the money and he walked into the endzone giving Christ Prep a 28-14 cushion after three quarters of play.
The Patriot defense harassed the Eagles all game and was led by Grant Gilkison who notched 4 sacks. FHC managed another TD but the defense held after that and CPA was able to run out the clock to seal the victory.
Next up for CPA is Leavenworth JH on Tuesday.
