Midway Subdues Christ Prep 40-14

OLATHE, KS - It looked like the Patriots were off to a good start when the Midway Vikings received the kickoff, and then promptly fumbled for a turnover.  The Patriots had the ball near the Viking 25 yard line, with and early touchdown within reach but it was not to be.  The Vikings jarred the ball loose from Tanner Metzdorf at the 7 yard line.  Midway recovered and quickly marched down the field for a touchdown that started them on their way to a 40-14 victory and stay undefeated at 6-0.

The Patriots fought back valiantly, but could not overcome the strength, speed and skill of the Vikings.  After having to punt on their next possession, CPA managed to hold the Vikings but on 4^th and short Midway's Bobby Zielinski picked up 73 of his game high 114 yards for a demoralizing touchdown.

On their next possession the Patriot offense went three and out and was forced to punt.  The Vikings again were forced in to a 4th down play at midfield.  Quarterback Peyton Semsch found Tanner Yahnig on a screen pass that went the distance.  Vikings 14 Patriots 0.

The bright spot of the game was how the Patriots responded to adversity and kept the game competitive by scoring two second half touchdowns.  Metzdorf found Davis White for a 3rd quarter touchdown pass and then he hit Gabe Jones in stride for a 66 yard score.  Jones tacked on the extra point to make the score 33-14 with 8:31 to play.

CPA falls to 3-2 on the season and hosts Rock Creek in their next game.
