Bishop LeBlond defeats St. Joseph Christian 66-12 in a Crosstown Battle

by Jeremy Benson, GrandRiverConference.com

Bishop LeBlond made the trip across town over to St. Joseph Christian to take on the Lions.  The Eagles were coming off of back-to-back losses to fellow GRC members, North Andrew and Worth County.  St. Joseph Christian is their 4th consecutive GRC opponent to start the season.

LeBlond received the ball at midfield to start the game and wasted no time.  On the 4th play of the drive, Landon Gardner scored on a 23-yard touchdown run.

St. Joseph Christian was able to move the ball down the field taking it to the LeBlond 24, but turned it over on downs.  Gardner connected with Jake Korell on a 56-yard touchdown on the very next play to go up 16-0.

LeBlond was able to extend the lead to 30-0 behind the feet of Gardner.  He scored from 19 yards and 2 yards out.  The Lions were able to get on the board late in the 1st quarter when Peyton Hausman outran the Eagle defense for a 60-yard touchdown run.  LeBlond would add another score in the first when Gardner scored from 46 yards out.  It was 38-6 after the first quarter.

In the second quarter, LeBlond extended the lead to 60-6 with three touchdowns.  Gardner connected with Jackson Sigrist for 22 yards and Carson Staggs for 26 yards.  In between those, Gardner ran for another touchdown, this time for 6 yards.

St. Joseph Christian was able to put together their best drive of the night late in the 2nd quarter.  They started at their own 15 and drove 65 yards down the field.  Jacob Clabaugh connected with Vail Freuchting from 8 yards out to make it 60-12.

Gardner connected with Korell for 55 yards to end LeBlond's scoring at 66-12.  The game ended at the half.

I caught up with both coaches and Clifton Grooms to discuss the game.

by Jeremy Benson, GrandRiverConference.com Sponsored by *Please cite Jeremy Benson, GrandRiverConference.com if you use the Coaches' Poll in other media 2024 is poised to be a year of significant change for the Grand River Conference. Adding Brookfield and Marceline as full members, who are competing for the football championship for the first time, marks a significant transition. These new members bring a new level of competition to the conference, adding another layer of anticipation. Gallatin and Maysville, with their new coaches, also contribute to the excitement. Despite the turnover, stability remains a crucial factor for the top teams, with the top five in the coaches poll all retaining their quarterback this season. The coaches poll was very close, with four teams receiving a first-place vote. Milan emerged with the most first-place votes at four.

Bell Game Rivalry joins the GRC

by Jeremy Benson, GrandRiverConference.com It's a mere 12 miles that separate Brookfield High School and Marceline High School, as per Google Maps.  But what's truly remarkable is the 54-year hiatus since these two schools last clashed in a conference football game. Brookfield and Marceline were both in the North Central Missouri Conference (NCMC) in 1970.  In 1970, the NCMC decided to fold.  A new conference with the same name would be organized,  Brookfield remained in a revamped NCMC from 1971 to 1975 before going independent until 1986, when they joined the Tri-Rivers Conference.  They jumped to the Clarence Cannon Conference (CCC) in 2010. Marceline was in the Northern Missouri Conference from 1971 to 1974 before joining the Lewis & Clark Conference in 1975, where they would be members for almost 50 years. However, the history between these two teams goes back much further. They played against each other for the first time in 1909. Brookfield won the fi...
