The Seymour Rogers Apaches started the football season with a pair of wins Thursday over the Comanche Coyotes.

The seventh grade Apaches opened the season with a runaway 46-0 win.

The Apaches relied on Aidan Aragon and Kaden Olvera to move the ball behind a line that opened holes and provided down field support for huge gains.

Seward County made its 2024 debut this past Sunday and once again stepped on the home field for a tough match-up against Kansas City Kansas, where the Saints held strong with the Blue Devils through all 90 minutes of action and had a chance late in the final minute to put themselves on the board, but could not connect as they finished with a 0-0 result in their KJCCC opener.

Seward County competed in its first conference match-up of the 2024 campaign and was finally on the home field for the first time this season and managed to put up a fight against the No. 15 Kansas City Kansas Blue Devils where throughout most of the contest, the Lady Saints held strong on both ends but could not pull off the upset in a 1-0 loss.

Seward came out of the gates with an immediate drive down the field past the Blue Devil defenders as Dayra Dinarte dribbled through the defense and found her spot for a quick shot that landed just outside of the crossbar to keep the score at 0-0 10 minutes in.
