The Kings defense shines yet again as Lewis Cass rolls to 48-0 victory over Peru. Cass (3-0 MIC) remains undefeated in the conference along with the Western Panthers.
The Kings defense was tested early as the Tigers took the opening drive of the game to a first and goal from the nine when Damon Foreman made the first of four interceptions of quarterback Mason Zimmer. The defense would bend slightly the rest of the night but the goal line was never threatened again.
The second pick resulted in a 52 yard drive that was capped off by Derrick Worden’s eight yard touchdown run and a 7-0 lead. Three of the four picks would lead to touchdowns and Kyle Moore took care of business himself as he returned Zimmer’s fourth interception for a 35 yard touchdown.
Big plays were the norm on Friday night as the Kings would have ten plays over 20 yards on the night. One of the scoring drives in the first half would include two of those big plays. A 61 yard pass to Evan DePew and a 35 yard run by Sean Ward with a QB sneak by Foreman from the one to cap off the drive. Foreman would finish the night 6-9 passing for 174 yards and a touchdown in the air and one on the ground.
The Kings Keith Lee would lead the way on the ground with 5 carries for 65 yards as Cass would have 13 ball carriers rush for 300 yards. Not one of those ball carriers would carry the ball more than five times.
The Peru Tigers posted 238 yards of offense but could not put enough plays together to break the goal line. Zimmer would complete 12 of 25 passes for 187 yards with four interceptions. Tigers mustered just 51 rushing yards on the night.
The Kings posted their eleventh straight win over Peru and their third straight shutout of the Tigers.
The 2A #8 Kings will host Eastern on homecoming next Friday night while Peru visits 3A #4 Western Panthers.
