SM East 42 
SM North 7In the battle for the "Nut Cup" on Friday night, Shawnee Mission North was hopeful to end their four game loosing streak to bitter rival Shawnee Mission East. From the opening kick which the Indians fumbled, the Lancers seemed to dominate. North went into the half with negative seven passing yards. Without starting quarterback Dakota Collins, the Lancers looked for a rushing attack to beat the Indians. It seemed to work as the Lancers had easy success against the North defense. East went up early on two touchdown runs by Jake Libeer for a 14-0 lead. Mason Perez then took the following kickoff to the house to make it a one possession game. East struck again late in the first quarter on a one yard run by Jeff Cole to put the Lancers ahead 21-7. With three minutes left to go before the half, East blocked an Indian punt for the second time on the night and landed on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown giving the Lancers a 28-7 lead at half. North looked over matched most of the night on offense. East's defensive line was easily getting into the Indian backfield causing Ryan Theis to scramble most of the night. The win improved East to 2-1 on the season, while the Indians dropped to 1-2. Next up for North is a homecoming battle with the Vikings of Shawnee Mission West.
