The heartbreak of a 3-7 record in the 2020 football season is paying huge dividends for coach Brock Bult's 2021 Fort Osage Indians.
A young, inexperienced squad survived that season, worked hard in the offseason and was ready to grab the spotlight this fall. The Indians improved to 2-0 after claiming an impressive 36-21 victory over rival Staley Friday night at Fort Osage.
There were plenty of fireworks and an electric atmosphere, which had nothing to do with the lightning that forced a 55-minute delay in the game with Fort Osage leading 14-7 in the first quarter.
Junior quarterback Greg Menne was nearly flawless in executing an offense that totaled 331 total yards. He was 9 of 11 for 145 yards and two touchdowns and the Indians rushed for 145 yards on 51 carries.
