DESPITE ERRORS, BLUE DEMONS DRIVE OVER RUSTIN

ZIMMERMAN STADIUM

 

Tonight, despite three lost fumbles, the Kennett Blue Demons defeated the new Rustin High School, 27-14.  The score could have been much worse, had Kennett not lost 2 first half fumbles deep in Golden Knight territory.

 

Justin Clark threw for 332 yards and two long touchdowns, and scored one on a 5 yard run. 

 

Kennett jumped out to a 13-0 halftime edge, on a Justin Clark 5 yard touchdown run, and a 45 yard pass play from Clark to Ben Petrack.  The score could have been 27-0 at half, had Kennett not lost 2 fumbles deep in Rustin territory.  Kennett's lead swelled to 20-0 on a Mike Cangi 1 yard run. 

 

However, Rustin made a game of it with a Steve Hess 12 yard touchdown run, and a Taylor Towe 1 yard run.  Those 2 Knight touchdowns surrounded a second Clark to Petrack strike. 

 

There was the weird in this game as well.  Two weird occurances to be completely honest.  First one was after Jason Ecklund intercepted a Taylor Towe pass, and lost a fumble during the return.  The second oddity- Rustin running back Steve Hess was on his way to a 59 yard touchdown run, but a Kennett linebacker caught him and the ball was fumbled out of the endzone.
