LS North enters playoffs with big win

On senior night at Liberty High School, Lee’s Summit North’s stable full of juniors showed off some athleticism and speed that could not be matched.

John Eldridge and Christian Carter helped propel the LS North ground game as the Broncos passed by the Blue Jays 30-15 in an upset during the last week of regular-season play in Missouri.

It’s a big win for the Lee’s Summit North (6-3) football program that hasn’t touted a winning season since 2001. Now there is real buy-in for the present and future.

During the postgame team huddle, LS North players looked on intently at head coach Jamar Mozee, and he showed his love and appreciation right back.

“We want to win here,” he said after the game. “We want to change the culture, and these kids are doing it. And I told these kids if they buy in and do what they’re told, they can get it done. I can’t be more proud of them.”

Eldridge was the finisher on Friday scampering for three touchdowns. Among those three TDs was a 37-yarder and a 55-yarder. His ability to get outside and break into open space makes him hard to stop.

Eldridge credited the help from the defense to get him going on offense.
