It was a night for the defenses. Friday night, that favored the Helias Crusaders as they defeated the Rock Bridge Bruins 20-10 in a Central Missouri Activities Conference contest.

You couldn’t blame the Helias Crusaders if they were looking backward. Last Friday night, the Crusaders came within a play of rallying for a win against Class 5 No. 1 Cardinal Ritter in St. Louis. But it was full-focus forward. It’s Rock Bridge week.

For the second consecutive year, the Capital City Cavaliers’ undefeated start to the season ends with Rock Bridge. The Bruins jumped ahead early and made the stop they needed late to hold off Capital City’s comeback attempt for a 38-28 Central Missouri Activities Conference win Friday at Capital City High School.

Through the first third of the season, the Capital City Cavaliers are off to a perfect start for the second consecutive season. Now comes the hardest part of the schedule. The middle third of the Cavaliers’ season kicks off tonight with their toughest test yet as they host the Rock Bridge Bruins at 7 p.m. in a Central Missouri Activities Conference matchup.

The Jefferson City Jays had a chance to pull of the upset Friday night. After trailing 14-0 just more than four minutes in and by 15 points in the fourth quarter, the Jays had a chance to tie it on their final drive. But Jacob Wilson’s pass on fourth-and-23 was knocked out of Kendric Johnson’s hands in the end zone and fell incomplete, sending the Rock Bridge Bruins to a 35-27 victory in Central Missouri Activities Conference play at Adkins Stadium.

The Jefferson City Jays will be tested for the second straight week tonight. Coming off their first loss of the season, the Jays will welcome the reigning Central Missouri Activities Conference champion Rock Bridge Bruins to Adkins Stadium for their conference opener.
