Edmond Santa Fe spoils opening of new Yukon stadium

But the win was about more than spoiling the debut of the Millers' new stadium. Santa Fe has a lot to prove this season under new coach Lance Manning.

Coming off a 1-9 season a year ago, the Wolves have been working hard to shake the doubters in the last three weeks. They defeated Jenks in a scrimmage, routed Edmond Memorial in the season-opening rivalry game, and now they have a road win against a Class 6A top-10 team to add to the list.

“There's always gonna be doubters out there, but as long as our team believes, it doesn't matter,” said sophomore quarterback Justice Hansen, who threw for 177 yards and rushed for 102.

Of course, this was only Week 2, and there's a long way left this season — starting with next Thursday's visit from Midwest City.

“This win means a lot,” said Santa Fe senior Tre Kelley. “People were still doubting us, but we kept strong as a team. This win is us. It's about the team right now — got down, came back and fought hard.

“We can't let this go to our heads, though. We've got to stay level-headed but confident.”
