It takes all of 76 seconds for @kmcathletics to drive the length of the field and score the game’s opening touchdown.

@HamiltonDylan11 rolls out and finds Trip Wright for the score. Kapaun up 7-0 on Carroll.

Nathan Fury (6’0, 200 lbs) of Kapaun Mt. Carmel will be a key leader of the Crusader defense this fall after a huge junior season where he logged 134 tackles.

Kapaun advanced to the 5A semifinals in 2021 and fell just short by 1 point to eventual state runner-up Maize.
