Kee football team picks up season’s first win, 36-6, at West Central

In a battle of Eight-Player District 3 teams each in search of their first district victory this season, the Kee football team put together an inspired effort in all facets of the game to emerge as that victor in its Friday, September 21 road test at West Central. The Hawks turned in their greatest offensive production of the season but coupled that with a strong defensive effort that resulted in five turnovers, four of those coming in the first half to help Kee bolt to a 36-0 headstart it would never look back from in securing the grid Hawks’ first win of the season, 36-6.

“We put our best half of football together in the first half,” Kee football coach Chad Winters said. “We had eight guys executing at a high level. If it wouldn’t have been for some ill-timed penalties that killed a couple drives and a fumble at the goal line going into score, we would’ve put the game away early.”

Kee’s highest offensive production of the season was fueled by its most balanced high-end attack in both aspects of moving the ball. The Hawks racked up 173 rushing yards on the night and also coupled that with 124 more yards through the air. Of West Central’s 10 first-half offensive possessions, Kee ended four of them with turnovers while forcing three other three-and-out series.
