Greensburg Salem can’t stop Jaguars in 42-0 blowout

It’s a begrudgingly accepted fact in sports.
Sometimes, the other team is that much better.
Greensburg Salem tried its best to downplay top-ranked Thomas Jefferson’s reputation as the kingpin of Class 4A, but the Jaguars quickly reminded the Golden Lions of their propensity for dominance.
Perennial powers have a tendency to live up to the hype.
The Jaguars and senior quarterback Shane Stump started fast and cruised past Greensburg Salem, 42-0, in a Big Eight Conference game Friday night at Offutt Field in downtown Greensburg.
Thomas Jefferson (9-0, 6-0) clinched at least a share of a second straight conference title — their 20th in the last 25 years — while Greensburg Salem (4-5, 4-2) will look to win next week against Indiana to secure third place.
