Hennessey’s defense put the team in position to win its first game of the year. The offense just couldn’t quite produce enough to get it done.

Hunter Wilmoth did a little bit of everything last week as Crescent picked up its fourth win of the season. The junior scored on a long run play and then an even longer interception return Friday night to lift the Tigers to a 15-0 home win against Healdton.

Kingfisher pushed its run to two full decades of consecutive playoff appearances with its most recent win. Cade Stephenson accounted for six touchdowns and Mount St. Mary provided almost no resistance as KHS rattled off a 61-0 victory in front of a Senior Night crowd.

The points came in droves for Lomega as it opened the 2019-20 season last Friday night. The Lady Raiders scored nearly at will through three quarters as they nabbed an 84-33 road win at Dover.

Kingfisher’seighthgrade football team wrapped up its 2019 campaign on a strong note last Monday. The Jackets beat Cash-ion 42-0 on the road to end their season at 4-4. On a cold, blustery day, it was the run game that carried KMS to the win.
