Football roundup: Boise City tops Longhorns 54-8

Boise City, Oklahoma, seized control early during an eight-man football game Saturday night against visiting Logan and coasted to a 54-8 victory.

The Wildcats (2-1) grabbed a 28-0 lead in the first quarter and led 35-0 at halftime against the Longhorns (1-3).

"We had a lot of turnovers and key penalties that killed us," Logan coach Chase Disney said, estimating his team totaled about 300 yards in penalties.

"Boise City was just bigger and faster than us," Disney added.

The loss spoiled a big game for Logan running back Jantzen Paris, who ran for more than 400 yards in 25 carries and scored his team's only touchdown in the third quarter. He also scored the two-point conversion.

Paris also played quarterback for part of the game after starting passer Kyle Knight suffered a hand injury.

Logan next hosts Foothill at 7 p.m. Friday in a district matchup.

Fort Sumner 43, Jal 8

Fort Sumner, which has a cooperative agreement with the House school district, continued its roll with a 43-8 victory against Jal.

Fort Sumner (3-0) is ranked No. 2 in Class 2A, runner-up only to Eunice (3-0). Jal fell to 1-3.

The Foxes play at home against Mission Achievement and Success of Albuquerque at 2 p.m. Saturday.
