The #2 state-ranked Pattonsburg Panthers blitzed visiting Braymer for 50 unanswered points in the first quarter alone on their way to a Missouri 8-Man Football record 94 points during Friday’s Grand River Conference clash. The unbeaten Panthers rolled to an 88-20 half time lead before trading one more score for two by the Bobcats in the final half.
According to the MSHSAA Football Record Book, the top team performances for most points scored in a game are: 138 points by Lincoln College Prep vs. Northeast (KC) in 1985, followed by 105 points by Springfield Central vs. Greenfield in 1927.

Dakota Eaton started off scoring with a 59-yard punt return. Quarterback Steven Willhite threw to Patrick Cowley for the conversion. Willhite went on to throw four touchdown passes in the first period, to Brett Emig, Carter Crone, Cowley and Eaton. The Panthers tacked on four two-point conversions following those scoring plays.
Crone scored the final TD of the first period on a 10-yard fumble recovery. The Panther defense would also notch a safety to account for the 50-0 first quarter lead.
