I scouted the Bluejays’ second to final regular season game against Topeka High on October 13. Junction City wraps up its eight-game schedule with a road game at Emporia.
Here is a look at six athletes in the class of 2025 and 2026 who have caught my eye. This is the second of two reports from Junction City’s 47-0 win over the Trojans.
Petren Bartolome Petren Bartolome 6'0" | 290 lbs | OL Junction City | 2025 State KS , OL, 6’0”, 290, ‘25
Bartolome is Ranked No. 16 in Kansas in the Class of 2025. He plays right guard for Junction City. He gets a quick push off the snap. He plays with excellent pad level and can run or pass block. With his size, I would not be surprised if he moves to tackle when college teams come calling.
Jalen Morgan Jalen Morgan 5'10" | 175 lbs | DB Junction City | 2025 State KS , DB, 5’10”, 175,‘25 (Pictured Above)
Morgan is a solid-cover corner who has quick feet and a nice vertical. He entered the game with 10 total tackles. He finished with four tackles in the win over the Trojans. Morgan has nice closing speed and can shut down quick screens.
Tymar Jones Tymar Jones 6'1" | 270 lbs | DL Junction City | 2025 State KS , OL, 6’1”, 270, ‘25
Jones is the left tackle for Junction City. He is solid in pass-protecting. He gets good separation on his initial engagement. He has a really strong base and quick feet.
Damarion Shaw Damarion Shaw 6'0" | 220 lbs | DL Junction City | 2025 State KS , DL, 6’0”, 218, ‘25
Shaw is an extremely fast defensive end. He looked like he was shot out of a cannon on an early kickoff. He can flat-out move and is strong enough to bull his way past offensive linemen. Shaw entered the game with 26 total tackles and three tackles for loss in six previous games. He had two tackles in the win over Topeka High.
Ja’Marcus Vornes Ja’Marcus Vornes 5'11" | 170 lbs | WR Junction City | 2026 State KS , WR, 5’10”, 150, ‘26
Vornes is the Bluejays’ top receiver. He entered the game against Topeka High with eight receptions gaining 175 yards and scoring two touchdowns.
Justice Fonoti, DL, 6’0”, 195, ‘26
Fonoti missed the game against the Trojans with a concussion, but is expected to play in Junction City’s final regular season game of the year. He has 26 total tackles on the season for the Bluejays.
