Demons Stop Junction City
The Dodge City Red Demons season continues after the Red Demons beat the Junction City Bluejays Friday night in first round of the 6A State Playoffs by a score of 25-15.
It was the fourth-straight win for the Red Demons.
In the first half, Dodge City controlled the game.
On one hand, the Red Demons ran well, largely with hands of senior Jaiel Johnson gashed the Bluejays. Junior quarterback Beau Foster was a force.
Up 3-0, Foster threw a 15-yard pass to junior De Jon Delgado, after which an extra point gave the Red Demons a 10-0 lead.
Junction City ran the ball in on an ensuing drive, cutting the lead to 10-7, but Foster again cut into the Bluejays, running the ball in past the right-side pylon to give the Red Demons a 16-7 lead.
The Red Demons tacked on field goal before the end of the half to take a 19-7 lead into halftime.
Perhaps the biggest difference between the two teams in the first half was the turnovers. The Bluejays lost multiple fumbles in the first, while the Red Demons maintained a clean sheet, committing none.
In the second half, the Bluejays carved their way down the field to cut the Dodge City lead to 19-15 after a two-point conversion.
Dodge City, however, was far from done. After being forced to punt, Dodge City junior Cedric Rosales came up with a huge interception, giving the Red Demons the ball back at the 40 yard line. A few plays later, and after a long pass to sophomore Matt Friess Jr., junior John Johnson ran the ball in around the left, extending the Red Demons’ lead to 25-15 after a missed extra point.
Demons Advance Toward State
The Dodge City Red Demons survived and advanced Thursday night, coming from down 1-0 to beat the Haysville-Campus Colts 2-1, winning the Regional Championship.
Sophomore defenseman Erubiel Duron and sophomore forward Alan Lopez had the Red Demon goals in the win.
In the first half, the Red Demons had the majority of the chances, but with 9:10 left in the half, the Colts capitalized on one of their opportunities, scoring on a free kick to take a 1-0 lead which they took into halftime.
In the second half, the Red Demons continued to control possession through the first 20 minutes of play, but were still unable to score.
Down 1-0, Red Demon coach Saul Hernandez made three substitutions with 18:20 left in regulation, and a couple minutes later the move worked.
“I felt at that point we needed a spark,” Hernandez said. “The front three forwards looked tired, and I know the next three [are] gonna give it their all, and I saw their defense tired, and we just needed someone to keep on pounding and put it in.”
One of the players Hernandez sent in at the time was Duron.
“He just told me ‘we need someone to step up and go in. Just give it your all.’” Duron said. ”[There was] a good corner, good reflection by Erik (Martinez), I was just there luckily to score it in.”
There was great energy, Duron said, and everyone on the team was a part of the come-from-behind win.
