FRONTENAC, Kan. — Excessive heat pushed back the starting time by one hour of the jamboree hosted by Frontenac and featuring Pittsburg and Girard on Friday night at the Frontenac Sports Complex, but nothing could spoil the enthusiasm and excitement around the first night of Kansas high school football. Pittsburg scored eight rushing touchdowns on the night, while the Dragons’ defense came through with a pair of interceptions against Frontenac and Girard over the two-plus hours of football. “Our kids played hard,” Pittsburg head coach Josh Lattimer said.
