ARLINGTON — Colt Gentry had two fumble recoveries for touchdowns and Sean Stanaland accounted for four touchdowns as Jayton claimed its first state football championship in 39 years with a 54-8 win over Oakwood on Wednesday morning at AT&T Stadium.
Gentry recovered an offensive fumble in the end zone on Jayton’s first scoring drive before notching a scoop-and-score with a 73-yard return on the next Oakwood possession as he earned Defensive MVP honors in the Class 1A Division II game.
Stanaland, who threw for 102 yards and ran for 28 more, was named Offensive MVP after the Jaybirds (15-0) had their 13th win this season in a game that ended at halftime.
