It takes all of 76 seconds for @kmcathletics to drive the length of the field and score the game’s opening touchdown. @HamiltonDylan11 rolls out and finds Trip Wright for the score. Kapaun up 7-0 on Carroll.

@OmariElias45 is that dude! What an animal!

Top 3 but he isn’t 2 or 3.

Crusader Nation. It’s homecoming tonight at 7pm at Stryker field. We play our old Rival the SE Golden Buffaloes 🦬. The series record of these two old rivals is 30-31 in favor of the Buffs. We will look to even that series record tonight.

After a great visit and talk I am blessed to say I have received and offer from Bethel College @jaysonartaz @jared_mocaby @threshersmbb @CoachEck20

Junior RB Omari Elias of Kapaun Mt. Carmel broke the single-game rushing record last night with an incredible 363 yards and 3 touchdowns in a win over Westminster, CO. Elias rushed for 2,140 yards and 24 TDs last season as a sophomore. Photo credit: Johnny Myers

Nathan Fury (6’0, 200 lbs) of Kapaun Mt. Carmel will be a key leader of the Crusader defense this fall after a huge junior season where he logged 134 tackles. Kapaun advanced to the 5A semifinals in 2021 and fell just short by 1 point to eventual state runner-up Maize.

@sportsinkansas @ChrismanCharlie and I plan to keep our backfield on top this year 💯
