Salina, Kan. - The Coffeyville Community College Red Raven Football Team opened up their 2024 season but could not outrun the Kansas weather.  In a game against the Kansas Wesleyan College JV that started an hour early (6:00 pm) in an attempt to beat the weather, the Red Ravens defeated the JV Coyotes 35-0.  The game was called eleven minutes into the second quarter with Coffeyville leading 35-0.  Coffeyville earned their first victory of the 2024 year (1-0) and new Head Coach Nick Dobler earned a notch in the victory column.

After a quick three and out by the JV Coyotes, the Ravens got the ball back and went on a 9-play touchdown drive culminating with sophomore Tre'avis Jones rushing for an 18-yard touchdown to give Coffeyville a 14-0 lead (McCarthy XP good).  

A 6-play punt from KWU JV, allowed the Ravens the ball back, and on the next play freshman quarterback Joseph Vick hit red-shirt freshman Ty Durham for a 33-yard touchdown pass to give the Ravens the 21-0 lead (McCarthy XP good) at the end of the first quarter.
