Montrose - Daily Press

ENGLEWOOD - The Olathe Pirates’ quest for a second straight state football title came to a disappointing end Saturday.

Turnovers and penalties were the No. 2 seeded Pirates downfall as they fell to the No. 7 Kent Denver Sun Devils 34-31 in the quarterfinals of the Class 2A playoffs.

The Pirates couldn’t overcome three turnovers and 10 crucial penalties, something that has been uncommon for the squad during its 25-game winning streak.

“This game does not represent the team we are,” OHS coach Ryan Corn said. “Little mistakes killed us and we made some mistakes at the end of the game hurt us. It’s disappointing we lost, but somebody has to lose.”

The Sun Devils scored 14 points off Olathe’s turnovers and got their revenge on the Pirates, who beat Kent Denver in the quarterfinals last season, 27-6 on their way to their first state title.

“They (Kent Denver) have been playing great football the last couple of weeks,” Corn said. “They are a good football team doing some good things.”

Early on, it looked like the Pirates were on their way to another victory as Dylan Markley recovered a fumble stalling the Sun Devils first drive.

Three plays later and OHS got on the scoreboard. Pablo Payan found the outside corner and raced 56 yards down Olathe’s sidelines for pay dirt. However, five minutes later the Sun Devils responded when Kent Denver’s quarterback Matt Florence connected with 6-foot-3 Jacques Bristow on an 80 yard touchdown pass. But the Sun Devils missed the extra point, giving Olathe a slight advantage.

The advantage didn’t last long as the Pirates turned the ball over in their own territory. And after two big runs by Tyler Jackson, Sam Struna scored on an eight-yard run. Markley blocked the extra point and the Pirates were facing a 12-7 deficit late in the first quarter.

The Pirates’ quick striking offense answered right back when Garhett Jurgens scampered 60 yards down the sidelines for a touchdown to give Olathe a two-point advantage going into the second quarter.

Kent Denver slowed the game down in the second, with a 10 play, 56-yard drive which was capped on a Tyler Jackson 13-yard run and the Pirates were in unfamiliar territory going into halftime, down 19-14.

The momentum started to swing Olathe’s way in the second half as the Pirates scored 10 straight points. A minute into the half, Jurgens connected with Markley on a 54-yard pass. Five minutes later Sergio Salazar connected on a 43-yard field goal to put OHS up 24-19.

But mistakes continued to be the Pirates’ worst enemy. Olathe fumbled the football deep in its own territory and the Sun Devils made OHS pay. Florence connected with Bristow again on a 21-yard touchdown pass and the two-point conversion was good to put Kent Denver up 27-24 going into the fourth.

Jackson pushed the Pirates’ deficit to 10 points after scoring on a six-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Olathe didn’t roll over, sustaining a 10 play, 53 yard drive that took almost four minutes and was capped when Jurgens connected with Markley on a two-yard pass.

However, a late fumble ended Olathe’s chance of rallying and its perfect season

“This team has more heart and dedication than any team I’ve ever coached,” Corn said. “Things just didn’t go our way and we lost to a very good team.”

Kent Denver will travel to Bailey to face No. 3 Platte Canyon next Saturday. Platte Canyon defeated Holy Family, 20-14.

As for the complaints, if you want Little Johnny's name in the paper when he scores a TD then you have to accept the risk it'll be in the paper when he fumbles. It's part of the deal of getting coverage. "

" It's not the media's role to become cheerleaders for programs in their coverage area. They exist to report facts, not manipulate them to appease the masses.

I recall Markley being credited for a fumble recovery, blocked kick and two touchdowns in the story — never once blaming him for a "game losing fumble"

Athletes must learn to lose with dignity just like they learn to win with it and that should go for fans too. Does the photo not paint a perfect image of the Pirates' demise — regardless of whether someone's pride was at stake? "
