In Week 6, it was Helias 43, Capital City 17. In Week 12, that result means nothing as top-seeded Helias (9-1) prepares to take on third-seeded Capital City (8-3) in the Class 5 District 5 championship game tonight at Ray Hentges Stadium. “We’re expecting a really tight ballgame,” Helias coach Chris Hentges said.

It was near devastation. Then it was all elation. Capital City jumped ahead 17-0 and led by as much as 24-6 before Camdenton took its first lead of the game with 1:19 left to play Friday night at Bob Shore Stadium in Camdenton. But there was one problem in the No. 2-seeded Lakers’ comeback attempt. “They gave us too much time,” Capital City coach Joe Collier said.

The 2022 season was filled with many firsts for Capital City. But a couple still eluded the Cavaliers. Tonight, the No. 3 seed Cavaliers have a chance to right the missing piece from their first successful season as they look for Capital City’s first district win as it hosts No. 6 seed Battle Spartans in the first round of the Class 5 District 5 tournament.

Capital City controlled the trenches. The Cavaliers ran for 418 yards on 45 tries, led by Jaylen Thomas with 294 yards on 24 attempts, to build a dominant 49-7 win against the Truman Patriots on Friday at Capital City High School. “We were able to run basic offense against a big D-line,” Capital City coach Joe Collier said. “Jaylen ran well, (Evan) Schaffer ran well. He ran the offense like he usually does. I thought everybody contributed well.”

The Capital City Cavaliers were ready to get back to winning. And they set the tone fast. On the first play from scrimmage, Capital City recovered a fumble on defense, then needed only one play for the first of seven touchdowns on the way to a 48-21 Central Missouri Activities Conference win Friday night against the Sedalia Smith-Cotton Tigers at Capital City High School.

It’s a big game for the Helias Crusaders. Sure, they’ve beaten Capital City in their previous three meetings. But that’s the past. The focus is fully on the Cavaliers for a lot of reasons tonight at Ray Hentges Stadium.

Jefferson City pulled out all the stops against the Capital City Cavaliers on Friday night at Adkins Stadium in Central Missouri Activities Conference play. The Jays recovered a trick-play onside kick, took deep shots down the field on offense and continuously switched up their defensive fronts, helping them pick up a 34-21 victory against the Cavaliers.

The Jefferson City Jays will get their first shot at revenge tonight against the Capital City Cavaliers at Adkins Stadium. The Cavaliers picked up their first win in program history against the Jays last year on the same field, but Jefferson City is treating this like any other football game. Kickoff in the Central Missouri Activities Conference matchup is set for 7 p.m. today.
