LEDGER FOOTBALL ROUNDUP 10/23/2026: Mexico loses Week 9 at ranked Moberly; Centralia, North Callaway win conference titles

Posted

Class 4 No. 6 Moberly 42 Mexico 0 in Moberly

Mexico (3-6) finished the regular season with a five-game losing streak with a loss to state-ranked district foe Moberly. Three plays in, Mexico fumbled and Moberly (8-1) recovered and scored. Collin Knox had two touchdowns for Moberly, and Mexico was shut out for the second time this year.

Mexico will probably have a rematch next week at Kirksville to begin the Class 4 District 5 tournament. Kirksville (2-6) hosts Festus (6-2) at 1 p.m. Saturday but owns the head-to-head win over Mexico.

North Callaway 63 Wright City 14 in Wright City

North Callaway (7-2, 6-0 EMO) concludes the regular season with seven straight weeks of 50-point games and its second straight Eastern Missouri Conference title with a win over Wright City (3-6, 2-4 EMO). Coltyn O'Neal broke the school's single-season passing touchdown record with four touchdown passes and 265 yards on 15-for-22 passing. Jaiden Galbreath surpassed 1,000 rushing yards this season with 81 yards and one touchdown on four carries. Collin Moore had 93 receiving yards and two touchdowns on seven catches.

North Callaway hosts Versailles (6-3) next week in the Class 2 District 5 tournament.

Class 2 No. 2 Centralia 48 South Shelby 16 in Centralia

Centralia (9-0, 6-0 CCC) led South Shelby (4-5, 2-4 CCC) 48-0 at halftime to eventually beat its Clarence Cannon Conference foe for its first undefeated regular season and first outright CCC title since 2019. 

Centralia locks in the No. 1 seed in Class 2 District 7 and will have a bye next week before hosting either Monroe City or Clark County the week after that.

Winfield  35 Van-Far 6 in Vandalia

Van-Far (1-8) ends the regular season with a five-game losing streak after losing in its first meeting with Winfield (4-5) since 2013. 

Van-Far plays at Westran (4-5) in two weeks in the Class 1 District 7 tournament after each team gets a bye.

8-Man: Paris 50 Lincoln 0 in Lincoln

Paris (6-2) notched its third straight win and third straight 50-point game with its second win over Lincoln (1-8) this season. The Coyotes beat Lincoln 50-6 earlier this year.

Paris hosts Keytesville (1-8) next week in the 8-man Class 1 District 8 tournament.
