UKC Football Champions

The Seaman football team is the 2024 champions of the United Kansas Conference!

The Vikings finished with a conference record of 6 wins and 1 loss.

The 2024 United Kansas Conference football season ended in dramatic fashion with a three-way tie for first place between Seaman, De Soto, and Basehor-Linwood. Seaman emerged victorious in the tie-breaker, thanks to their superior point differential in UKC games. Seaman finished the season with a 6-1 record, scoring 295 points and allowing 136. Their impressive point differential of 78 points (up to 13 points per game) was just enough to edge out De Soto and Basehor-Linwood. Despite a loss in their final game, Seaman’s overall performance throughout the season secured them the top spot.

De Soto also ended with a 6-1 record, boasting the highest points scored in the league with 325. Their point differential of 77 points was just one shy of Seaman’s, highlighting the razor-thin margin that decided the championship. De Soto finished the season strong with a three-game winning streak. Basehor-Linwood matched the top two teams with a 6-1 record and a point differential of 72. Their solid defense, which allowed only 104 points, was a key factor in their successful season.

The 2024 UKC football season was marked by intense competition and thrilling games. Seaman’s narrow victory in the tie-breaker will be remembered as a highlight of the season, setting the stage for more exciting football action next year.
