Junction City overcame a stingy Emporia defense to defeat the Spartans 30-6 in football at Welch Stadium in Emporia Friday night.
Emporia led 6-3 late into the second quarter before the Blue Jays scored the go-ahead touchdown on the last play of the first half. Junction City ( 6-1 ) then gradually pulled away in the second half. Blue Jay quarterback Xavion Felton threw for one touchdown and ran for another in the game.
The Blue Jays host Highland Park next Friday.
