Carthage hosts Carl Junction, Neosho & Nevada for annual jamboree
Friday Night Lights returned to David Haffner Stadium this evening! Carthage played host to Neosho, Nevada and Carl Junction for an annual jamboree! See some of the top plays from each team below.
Carthage High School welcomed four local football programs - Carthage, Carl Junction, Neosho, and Nevada - for their annual jamboree. The event kicked off with a split-field game, pitting Carthage against Nevada on one end, and Neosho taking on Carl Junction on the other.
Starting defensively, Carthage held their ground and kept Nevada from scoring more than a single touchdown on 18 offensive plays. That lone point came from a recovered fumble by running back Paytin White in the end zone. Carthage's offense showcased some strong plays too, with Slade Stiffler connecting on a nearly 40-yard pass to Blake Wicklund.
Across the field, Neosho faced off against Carl Junction. Wildcat quarterback Blayne Patterson was sharp right from the start, hitting his receivers twice in the opening series for touchdowns. The Wildcats' defense also stepped up, intercepting a pass from Nebraska's quarterback.
Nevada took the field next, scoring three times against Neosho. All four teams will kick off their new season on August 28.
