Quarterback Jared Somers led Tonganoxie (3-0-1) with four rushing touchdowns and three successful two-point conversions, two on the ground and one through the air.

Seth Wolf also ran for a TD and Dalton Tavis caught a pass for a two-point conversion.

The seventh-grade team from Tonganoxie also won at Clark, rolling to a 30-0 shutout.

Both Grant Elston and Austin Ettinger finished with two rushing touchdowns in the blowout.
