The Junction City Blue Jays shut out Wichita Southeast 64-0 in high school football at Al Simpler Stadium Friday night.
The Blue Jays ( 7-0, 1-0 District ) scored early and often in the game, with senior running back Raye Wilson running into the end zone on the first Blue Jay possession on offense in the game from 31-yards out, and then adding two more rushing touchdowns in the first half. Jovan Baldwin was on the receiving end of a touchdown pass play from quarterback Ryan Hennington on the second Junction City possession in the first half, and caught another pass for an 11-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Other touchdowns scored by the Blue Jays included a 37-yard pass from Henington to Bronson Hill, 20-yard pass from Henington to Johnnie Jones, an 11-yard run by Marcus Walker, and a 20-yard run by Baylor Wilkey. Wayne Shirley also kicked a 38-yard field goal and five extra points in the win.
Blue Jay coach Randall Zimmerman felt good about the Junction City performance. “They just played great defensively, got good field position offensively, and were able to take advantage of it. Just a nice night.”
Junction City finished the game with 563 yards of total offense compared to 111 for Wichita Southeast ( 0-7, 0-1 District ). The Blue Jays recovered two fumbles by the Golden Buffaloes, and intercepted four Wichita Southeast passes.
Junction City continues district play next week when they travel to Wichita to play the Wichita East Blue Aces. Wichita Southeast will play Wichita North next Friday.
