The Junction City Blue Jays were defeated by Washburn Rural Junior Blues 28-7 on Friday night at Blue Jay Stadium.
It was a tough night offensively for the Blue Jays as they were held to just seven points. They moved the ball in the second half but were stopped on the two-yard line late in the fourth quarter and turned the ball over as well.
The final score does not represent how the game went. Junction City had multiple chances in this game, but it was the defense and special teams for Washburn Rural that won the game. The Junior Blues scored twice on special teams and once on defense. On special teams, they recovered the football in the end zone on a botched snap/exchange with the punter, and the other special team's touchdown was in the second half when Washburn Rural blocked a punt and then scooped the football and scored. The defensive score was late in the fourth quarter when Junction City quarterback Brock Bazan was sacked, and JC Heim for the Junior Blues scored making the final 28-7.
