Friday night lights kicked off across Kansas this week, and if you looked at our Week 1 area scoreboard, there was at least one score that should’ve jumped out.
104-0.
Yes, you read that right.
Calling it a blowout doesn’t feel like an adequate description, but Andale opened its season with an astounding road win over 4A El Dorado.
“I was proud of our guys,” Andale coach Dylan Schmidt told The Eagle. “They were ready to go from the start.”
As the reigning Kansas 3A state champion, Andale showed no signs of slowing down in 2025, and that was evident out of the gates. The Indians scored on their first drive, 1:53 into the game, on a 16-yard touchdown run by senior Lane Parthemer.
Senior quarterback Sam Harp did his part in the first quarter to build his team’s lead, contributing four touchdowns for the Indians. He completed a 38-yard touchdown pass and ran in three more scores to spark Andale to a 40-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. By halftime, the lead doubled to 80-0.
All units were firing in Friday’s win, between the offense, a shutout on defense and a special teams performance highlighted by senior Jack Horsh’s 26-yard punt return for a touchdown.
Andale registered 417 yards of total offense, holding El Dorado to just 68.
Schmidt, starting his ninth year as head coach at Andale, said he was pleased with the win.
“I was pleased with our effort. For the most part, pleased with the execution,” Schmidt said.
The key phrase there? “For the most part.”
When a team wins by as much as Andale did, it’d be easy to think there were only positives. But of course, when you’re a championship-caliber team, with five state championships since 2019, there’s always room for improvement.
So Schmidt’s notes for his team included a fumble, as the Indians now look to a game against Wellington next week.
“I don’t like that, ever,” he said of the fumble. “That’s one of the things we talk about all the time in our program, taking care of the football.”
Given the nature of the high-scoring performance, Andale’s junior varsity and freshmen players saw action, and Schmidt noted that could have contributed to some mistakes.
“Having a lot of kids roll in and roll out, things happen,” Schmidt said. “... There’s always learning points, coaching points no matter what. That’s our job, be critical.”
That said ...
“Overall,” Schmidt said, “very pleased.”
