Young Trades Hornets Red for Bearcats Green
     Chillicothe’s three-time all state football player Bryce Young has signed a letter of intent to play college football for the Division II National champion Northwest Missouri State University Bearcats. Young said Missouri Western and a walk-on opportunity at University of Missouri were other top choices. He said knowing previous Hornets such as Josh Gannan and Brett Grozinger had successful football careers at Northwest helped in his decision.
     Young was an All State First Team Defensive back this year, an All State First Team Running Back his Junior year and was a Coaches Association Third Team All State selection at Defensive Back his sophomore year. Young holds several Chillicothe football records.

The Chillicothe Hornets saw their modest three game winning streak end with a 70-56 loss to St Joseph Benton at Chillicothe. It was just the fourth win of the year for Benton, but three have come against Chillicothe. Just three days earlier, Benton had  managed just 18 points against Cameron.
     The Hornets led 20-15 at the end of the first quarter and increased that to a ten point lead early in the second, but Benton started hitting shots and a half court shot at the halftime buzzer tied the score. Chillicothe would enjoy just one more tied score early in the third quarter before falling behind by double figures much of the third and fourth quarters.

    Chillicothe was led by Bryce Young with 30 points and Alex Thompson with 15 points, but after that the scoring drops off to Blake Stephens with 4, Brett Stephens and Jacob McKiddy with 3 each, Spencer Hart with 1 and playing time for Zach Douglas, Nick Voorhies, Tyler Midgyett, Darien Lame, Austin Busse and Jake Mathew.

    With the 70-56 loss, Chillicothe falls to 6-11 and 1-2 in MEC play while Benton improves to 4-16 overall and 1-1 in MEC play.
