Although the game was knotted at 14 at the half, the Tigers scored four second-half touchdowns and held THS scoreless in the third quarter.

A touchdown pass by Tonganoxie senior quarterback Jeremy Carlisle to senior Shawn Marin with 8:28 to play in the fourth cut the JWHS lead to 27-20 but the Chieftains gave up touchdowns on their next two defensive possessions.

Carlisle was able to run for three scores and threw for 131 yards but Jeff West (4-5 overall, 1-2 district) intercepted him three times, limiting the effectiveness of the THS offense.

Tonganoxie (1-8, 0-3) took the ball away from the Tigers twice. Junior safety Derek Lingo recovered a fumble forced by junior linebacker Jonas Myers in the first quarter and senior Austin Vickers picked off a pass in the third quarter.

After defeating Bishop Ward, 54-6, in Week 1, the Chieftains dropped their next eight games of the season.
