Halftime reset lifts Warrensburg football to third straight district title

MOBERLY — A trip north for the second time this season didn’t disappoint. Behind four second-half touchdowns from junior running back Hunter Michel, Warrensburg avenged its lone regular-season loss, beating Moberly 34-14 in the Class 4 District 5 championship Friday, Nov. 13, at Moberly High School. The district title marks a program-best third consecutive and is the fourth under head coach Chris Cavanah. “This was our goal from day one,” Cavanah said. “Two in a row last year, three in a row this year. Three in a row had never happened before in school history. I’m very proud of the guys in our program.” Michel ran for 189 yards on 27 carries — the bulk of the workload coming in the second half. He had a net of nine yards on eight touches in the first two quarters. “The first half was rough,” Michel said. “I was in a terrible mindset.
