Fort Osage has no shortage of playmakers. 

The Indians showed that in a 61-21 season opening romp over Saint Joseph Central Friday night at home.  

“We’ve got a lot of weapons,” Fort Osage coach Brock Bult said. “They’re all over the place. They’re all buying in right now and they understand if one is having a big night then it’s going to open it up for them. We just keep feeding off of each other and growing.” 

Javen Hall was the first Fort Osage player to make his presence known on offense. 

The senior running back, who finished with 84 yards on 10 carries, scored the Indians’ first points of the season on a 10-yard run with 7:30 remaining in the first quarter.  

Hall’s success then opened up the passing game as Fort Osage quarterback Greg Menne connected with receiver Larenzo Fenner for touchdowns of 31 and 38 yards. 

“Teams can’t just lock in on one player,” said Fenner, who caught four passes for 118 yards, all in the first half. “We’ve got more of a variety and more threats that can score.”
