Baldwin, De Soto win state playoff football games

? Blue Valley Southwest controlled time of possession, but Baldwin High dominated the scoreboard Tuesday night.

The Timberwolves ran 67 plays compared to Baldwin’s 36. But Baldwin won, 26-7, in a Class 4A state football playoff game.

“It’s survive and advance at this time of the year,” Baldwin coach Mike Berg said. “They had a great game plan to keep the ball out of our hands. They executed the option very well. Our kids stayed patient, did their assignments, and good things happened.”

On the second play of the game, Ryan Rogers connected with Josh Hoffman on an 85-yard touchdown pass.

Blue Valley SW drove 76 yards in 22 plays on a 10-minute drive but Baldwin’s Jake Mindez ruined the drive with an interception in the end zone.

After a Baldwin punt, the Timberwolves drove 59 yards in 12 plays. Braden Souders made another big play for Baldwin when he intercepted a pass in the end zone to prevent a Blue Valley SW score.

The Bulldogs responded with a touchdown drive. Rogers threw a short pass to Hoffman that turned into a 43-yard touchdown reception before halftime.

Baldwin will play at 7 p.m. Saturday at Kansas City Sumner.
