Ottawa High revamps offense for non league test at Chanute
Ottawa High unveils a rebuilt offensive system with four changes on the line and a shift at tailback as they visit Chanute to face the Blue Comets in a non league clash. The Cyclones, coming off a 6-6 tie with Olathe, aim to pass more and reduce self inflicted mistakes while leveraging Grogan at quarterback and Mendel at receiver to back up a stronger front. Ottawa’s defense holds firm with improved pass defense and turnovers leaders Lee Van Fossan and the secondary eyeing another big stop against a team seeking revenge after last season’s 64-0 win. The EKL standings remain fluid as Bonner Springs, Argentine, Turner, and Olathe chase league glory.
