Kennedy 63, Evergreen 0
It used to be the big game in the Seamount League. Times have changed.
The Lancers and Wolverines battled for first place in recent years, but Evergreen has struggled this season – starting with a forfeit for a lack of players to start off the season.
Kennedy Catholic, meanwhile, is still on top in this year’s Seamount chase.
The Lancers wasted little time in getting on top of the scoreboard Saturday, Sept. 19.
Tony Valencia scored the first touchdown on an 11-yard run, with L.J. Jennings catching a pass from Joseph Moffat for a two-point conversion that made it 8-0 with 10:02 showing on the first quarter clock.
Vince McCluskey then caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Jason Thompson and Christian Velte kicked the PAT to make it 15-0 at the 8:05 mark. It was the first of five-straight conversion kicks for Velte.
Darian Brooks scored the next Lancers touchdown on a 34-yard punt return and Valencia started the second quarter off with a 2-yard touchdown run.
Kevin Taylor then struck on a 20-yard run and Ian Nobmann on a 4-yard run.
Velte then followed up his five kicks with a 31-yard field goal with six seconds left in the second quarter.
Orion Prescott scored on a 61-yard run for the only score in the third quarter, with Karl Antush doing the kicking honors.
Velte slipped a 29-yard field goal through the uprights with 8:30 to play in the fourth quarter, and Cyrus Laumatia struck on a 7-yard run at 3:05 to go with Antush kicking the extra point again to bring the score to its final margin.
Velte also had 10 kickoffs for a total of 577 yards.
The Lancers ran 42 times for 297 yards and completed four passes for 38 yards.
