CHETOPA — A 40-point second quarter outburst by host Chetopa High proved too much for Southern Coffey County High to overcome Friday.
The Hornets turned a 14-8 lead after one period into a 54-22 lead by intermission. Two more quick Chetopa scores in the third period ended the 68-22 loss.
“We keep doing some good things offensively and finding our identity a little bit, but penalties just really hurt three of our drives late in the first and early second quarters,” Titan head coach Korey Lankton said. Tyler Houston caught a 31-yard touchdown pass from Chism Newkirk to open SCC’s scoring. Turner Anderson, who rushed for 85 yards on the night, scored next for the Titans on a 45-yard run in the second period. Walker Harred, who led Southern Coffey County with 93 yards on the ground, added a 25-yard run late in the half.
Newkirk completed 2 of 5 passes for 45 yards. Houston had a 31-yard catch and Josiah Witteman had a 14-yard reception.
Newkirk had seven tackles and a fumble recovery on defense. Witteman also had seven stops.
