GAME FACTS
COE 63 - LORAS 7
- Charters made an instant statement to start the game, picking off a looping pass down the middle to put Coe on offense. Kelly and the Kohawks quickly moved it into scoring territory as he hit Devon Kollasch for a 46-yard bomb to get inside the red zone. Four plays later, Kelly floated a pass toward the back of the end zone, connecting with Drummer for the opening score. Noah Tolbert made the next impact play for Coe's offense, picking off a third and nine pass and returning it 24-yards for a pick-six. Another three-and-out from the Duhawks gave Coe strong field position at its 48 with 7:01 on the quarter clock. Kelly hit Jeron Senters for the game's third touchdown, finding Senters down the middle before the wideout sprinted to the end zone. Coe added two points before the end of the quarter on a Loras miscue as a punt from deep inside Duhawk territory failed with the snap sailing over the punter's head and out of the end zone for a safety. Drummer and the Kohawks put an exclamation point on the sequence to start the second quarter as Kelly dumped a pass off to his running back before a sprint down the far sideline for the 55-yard score. Lee was Coe's next big play, making it 37-0 with an 81-yard score where he broke through the defense and beat everyone to the endzone. The Kohawks capped off the first half with another strong sequence, forcing a fumble on a short completion before Drummer scored from 12-yards out to make it 43-0. Kelly stayed in the game early in the third quarter to throw the record-setting touchdown pass, connecting with Taylor in the right corner of the endzone for a 25-yard score, marking his 28th touchdown pass of the year. Coe turned to its reserves for the remainder of the game and didn't let up, adding two more touchdowns on huge runs from White who finished the game with 199 yards rushing on just eight carries.
