Perry ? Friday night’s Class 4A district football contest here played out like a pendulum.

Baldwin and Perry-Lecompton high schools exchanged momentum swings, which came in the form of touchdowns and turnovers, for the final three quarters.

In the end, Baldwin (7-1 overall, 2-0 district) came out with the second district victory, 35-28, over the Kaws (6-2, 1-1).

Baldwin led 21-0, but the Kaws scored 28 unanswered until BHS tacked on the final 14 points.

“It was a momentum-changing game,” Baldwin coach Mike Berg said. “It went back and forth all night. That was some good high school football tonight.”

Kaws quarterback Shane Gimzo tried to rally his team in the waning minutes, but penalties and Baldwin’s defensive front stopped the drive in Kaws territory.

“The win feels great,” Beecher said. “The game was a roller coaster. Each team had their highs and lows. Thankfully, we were playing better in the fourth quarter. It’s all about how you finish the game sometimes.”

For the night, Beecher carried the ball 30 times for 259 yards.

He did have two fumbles during the middle of the game, but held on to it late to help BHS secure the victory.

Baldwin will travel to Eudora on Thursday night. Perry-Lecompton will play at Santa Fe Trail.
