I have posted my blog with a link to the game story on Farmington's 42-38 victory at Jackson.

Some of the video is up, including this 85-yard kick return for a touchdown by Farmington's Bryan Krause, who had 308 yards combined returns and receiving in the first half Friday night. (He carried the ball once in the second half and injured his ankle.)

More coming Saturday, including the wild second half.

But, some other games of note Friday:

NMCC 40, Sikeston 29

Some details were passed along to me:

"Sikeston led 22-6 at the half and held NMCC to zero first downs. But in the third quarter, NMCC scrapped its spread attack and went with a power game: I-formation, wishbone, etc.

"Sikeston couldn't stop it and ran just three plays the entire third quarter. One was a 67-yard run by Eli Jackson but the drive ended with an interception in the end zone.

"New Madrid had a fourth-and-9 with 1:30 left. Dontre Jenkins took the snap, fumbled, eluded the rush and got a pass off to a wide open Stephenson, who scored the final TD with 1:24 left.

"Kony Ealy had three catches for 108 yards with two TDs for New Madrid.

"Jenkins was 5-for-8 passing for 162 yards with one interception and three TDs. He also had 22 yards rushing on six carries with two TDs.

"Waters had 181 yards rushing on 17 carries, including a 93-yard score. NMCC had 241 yards rushing on 38 attempts as a team. All but 16 of those yards came in the second half.

"Sikeston had 48 rushing on 33 carries. Jackson had 54 yards on 16 carries with a TD to go with 51 receiving yards.

"Bohannon was 13-for-20 passing for 231 yards with one interception and two TDs."

Kennett still perfect

Sikeston's next foe, Kennett, improved to 6-0 for the first time in 22 years but it wasn't easy in a 27-16 win against Malden.

Blake Parr, the area's leading passer, was held to 119 yards on 9-for-29 passing. He threw one TD to Jarvis Finley, but the area's leading receiver had just two catches for 22 yards.

Tevin Hampton rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns for Kennett.

Malden's TDs both were scored by Andy Matthews, one on a punt return in the first period and one on a kick return in the final quarter.

Thanks. Fixed it. Should be a good contest.
