Scouting
report on Seneca team
by Greg Hall
What we know about the Seneca Indians…
Seneca is located right on the Oklahoma border about
15 miles south of Joplin. Their school colors are royal
blue and red. Despite their Jayhawk colors, they look
a lot like Nebraska in their red jerseys, white pants
and white helmets with a red strip down the middle and
red facemasks.
Scott Elbert, Seneca’s junior tailback, scored two
second half touchdowns and had 173 yards rushing as the
Indians defeated Mountain Grove 28-14 Monday night at
Earl Campbell Stadium. He accomplished all this despite
suffering a hip pointer injury in the first quarter that
kept him out of the game until the third quarter. Elbert
had a string of four consecutive 200-yard games snapped
by Mountain Grove. “When he’s not out there,
they’re not quite as good as they are with him out
there,” Mountain Grove coach David Williams told
the Joplin Globe.
“We had a chance with him on the sideline, but then
he comes back and made several big plays.” He sounds
like a good one.
Seneca’s last appearance in the state semifinal
football game was 1995.
