Basehor-Linwood extended their winning streak to eight on Friday, bumping them up to 8-0. Everything went their way against the Lansing Lions as they made off with a 42-20 win. Given the Bobcats' advantage in MaxPreps' Kansas football rankings (they are ranked 26th, while the Lions are ranked 139th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.

Basehor-Linwood's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Gavin Mitchell led the charge by rushing for 56 yards and two touchdowns.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Basehor-Linwood proved: they limited Lansing to a paltry 3.2 yards per carry. The team can thank Charlie Peek for the heroic effort on defense: he. Basehor-Linwood's ground attack was stronger, having averaged 5.4.

Special teams also deserves some recognition, posting 14 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Noah Gutierrez, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.

As for Lansing, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-6. They gained 57 more yards on the day, but it was Basehor-Linwood that made the best use of them.

Lansing's defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Caden Garcia, who threw for 223 yards and a pair of TDs. Jaxon Pollard handled things on the ground, rushing for 108 yards and a rushing touchdown.

Coming up, Basehor-Linwood will take on Blue Valley Southwest at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bobcats will be up against the Timberwolves' rather soft defense (which has allowed 39.5 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. Lansing does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
