Recap
Goddard, KS — It was a jarring season for Goddard to finish last year with an 0-9 record, just three years after playing for a state championship in 2018. The Lions were able to forget about last season’s troubles on Friday when not only did they win their first game since Oct. 30, 2020, but experienced an offensive explosion in a 56-35 win over Campus at home. The 56 points was more than half of Goddard’s entire output (96 points) from last season.
Goddard junior Ashton Sell scored three rushing touchdowns, while senior Devin Mathis added two scores and Jaden Cohens had a rushing touchdown. Micah Johnson returned a kickoff 86 yards for a score and Ashton Baker delivered a momentum-swinging strip sack that Preston Hagel recovered on defense.
The Lions led 28-21 at halftime, then opened up their lead with three unanswered touchdowns for a 28-point advantage entering the fourth quarter.
Goddard has a chance to keep its momentum going when it travels to Valley Center.
