The Junction City Blue Jays beat the Topeka Trojans 50-21 on senior night at Blue Jay Stadium.
A strong performance by the offense and defense helped Junction City jump out to a 35-0 lead at halftime. Despite three first-half turnovers from both teams, the Blue Jays connected on several big plays throughout the first half.
Junior Jamarcus Tyson started the scoring with an 11-yard touchdown run on the first offensive drive of the game for the Blue Jays. Junior quarterback Conrad Gomez also had a strong night, with four touchdown passes. Gomez had two touchdown passes to Lovell Autry and another to Scholar Brown and Jamarcus Vornes.
Topeka scored three touchdowns late in the second half, and the Blue Jays cruised to victory winning their second game of the season and their seventh straight over Topeka.
Due to the size of the lead, several younger Blue Jay players also saw the field on senior night.
With the win, Junction City is now 2-4 on the season. Topeka High falls to 4-2 on the year. Next up for the Blue Jays is a few road games. Junction City will play at Washburn Rural next Friday and at Emporia to close out the regular season.
