Perry ? Tonganoxie High’s inability to stop the run kept the Chieftains from opening district football play with a victory Friday.

Perry-Lecompton junior running back Luke Kellum helped erase a two-score Tonganoxie halftime lead and finished with five rushing touchdowns in a 55-35 Kaws victory.

Kellum finished with 266 yards on 22 carries, and Dalton Bahnmaier added 101 yards on seven carries.

The difference in the district opener between the two Class 4A programs was the third quarter, when the Kaws outscored THS, 22-0.

It began with a 4:29 scoring drive to open the second half, capped by a three-yard touchdown run by junior quarterback Jeremy Immenschuh, and continued with a dominating stretch by Kellum, who had a string of three touchdowns on three straight touches.

As if defensive struggles in the third weren’t enough to do in the Chieftains (1-6 overall, 0-1 district), their offense suffered three demoralizing plays in the meantime.

Twice Tonganoxie senior quarterback Jeremy Carlisle was stuffed on fourth-and-one, and he fumbled the ball on the THS 15-yard line with 24 seconds remaining in the quarter.

Perry-Lecompton (5-2, 1-0) was forced to punt just once all night, on its opening drive.

Tonganoxie will play host to Basehor-Linwood on Friday.

Perry-Lecompton will travel to Jeff West.

Baldwin 47, Ottawa 12

Baldwin City — Three early turnovers by Ottawa helped Baldwin jump to a quick lead it never lost.

The Bulldogs (6-1) scored touchdowns after the first two turnovers and continued to roll over the Cyclones (3-4).

“This win feels really good,” Baldwin’s Ryan Rogers said. “It’s nice to get that first district win. We played a lot better in the second half than we did in the first half.”

Ottawa fumbled on the opening drive, and Baldwin’s Jake Mindez recovered. Six plays later, Rogers threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Asher Hannon to take a 6-0 lead.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Cyclones fumbled, and the Bulldogs recovered again. Despite two penalties on the drive, Baldwin scored its second touchdown of the first quarter.

The Bulldogs will play Santa Fe Trail at home Friday, and Ottawa will play Eudora.
