FSHS rolls by Grizzlies

ALTAMONT -- Seven players scored Fort Scott High's eight touchdowns here Friday night as the Tigers won their second game in a row, 52-6, over Labette County in Southeast Kansas League play.

The Tigers (3-2 SEK, 3-3 overall) didn't wait long to get on the scoreboard. Brendyn Quinney recovered a Labette County fumble at the 7-yard line on the second play of the game and two plays after that, Race Kastl scored on a 4-yard run to make it 7-0 barely a minute and a half into the contest.

Quinney scored himself on a 31-yard run on the Tigers' second possession with 6:17 on the board. The extra point was blocked, so the score was 13-0.

On Fort Scott's third possession, quarterback Mason Knopp scored on a 4-yard keeper with 3:50 on the clock. The Tigers went for 2 points but were unsuccessful.

Chase Brown showed he's back from his ankle sprain with an 18-yard scoring run with 8:57 on the clock in the second quarter. Joe Doherty ran in for the 2-point conversion to make it 27-0.

Brown scored again on a 5-yard run with 2:41 left in the half to make it 33-0 as the extra point kick was no good.

The only reason the Tigers didn't score on their sixth straight possession was the half ending. But they received the second-half kickoff and scored on that possession when Carter Young went in from 7 yards out to make it 39-0.

A Labette County turnover led to Kevin Armstrong's 2-yard score with around 11 minutes left on a running clock at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The extra point was successful this time to make it 46-0.

Labette County gained 53 of its 122 yards of total offense on the reserves as the Grizzlies (1-4, 2-4) got their only score on a 27-yard pass from Drew Dwyer to Blake Palmer with about three minutes to go. The Tigers blocked the extra point.

Vince Tome scored for the Tigers on a 55-yard run on the final play of the game -- his only carry -- to provide the final margin. No conversion was attempted.

The Tigers rolled up 458 yards in total offense, 395 of it on the ground. Seven players rushed for at least 40 yards. Brown gained 74 yards on nine carries. Quinney 58 on just 3 totes, Kastl 56 on 8 rushes and Young 51 on 9 runs.

The Tigers begin Class 4A-District 6 play Friday night when they travel to Anderson County. The Bulldogs were winless on the season going into a game with Osawatomie Friday night.
