Fort Osage advances to Missouri Class 5 final

Raytown South’s Jerrick Walton picked up some yards, but the Indians’ defense halted the Cardinals most of the game.

Fort Osage senior free safety Nathan Hancock had only one thought as the football floated his way.

“I’ve got to catch this, I’ve got to catch this,” Hancock said.

Raytown South trailed Fort Osage by seven points with under a minute remaining in the fourth quarter of their Missouri Class 5 semifinal game Friday. But with the clock dwindling and no timeouts, Cardinals quarterback Dennis Tanner was forced to try to make a play. So he threw a third-and-10 pass just inside Fort Osage territory as far as he could toward a player wearing the same color jersey.
