Kirksville had opportunities Friday night and its defense played relatively well, but the Tigers’ football team fell to 0-4 with a shutout loss to Hannibal. The Pirates, although 2-2, are sixth-ranked in Class 4 with the second-strongest strength of schedule.
The Tigers forced two turnovers in the first half and one early in the second, but got a combined one first down from those opportunities.
Jude Rohr carried the ball 13 times for eight yards, and quarterback Joel Feeney’s five carries resulted in negative five yards. Feeney was 3-of-10 through the air, and the highlight of the night was getting freshman Noah Tilton involved. He had 76 receiving yards.
Kirksville’s schedule lightens up a little in week five, when the Tigers look to pick up their first win on the road against a beatable Marshall opponent (1-3).
