As the conference race tightened Saturday, the Tabor College football team did its part to stay in it, knocking off No. 15 Friends 20-19. Friends was previously unbeaten in KCAC play. The Bluejays are tied with Ottawa, Sterling, and Friends for first place, all with 4-1 records within the conference.

Running back James Monroe became the school’s all-time leading rusher after a 197-yard performance against the Falcons, and defensive end Terach Antoine earned national defensive player-of-the-week honors. Monroe currently has 3,201 career rushing yards.
