The top ranked team in the
state in Division 5 kept its OK
Gold Conference and overall
records perfect by scoring a
51-0 win over the Thornapple
Kellogg varsity football team
Friday in Middleville.
The Cougars took a 44-
lead in the opening half.
Senior John Passinault
completed 10-of-20 passes
for 131 yards and three touch-
downs, and his replacement
tossed two more touchdown
passes in the second half.
The Cougars amassed 303
yards of offense in the ballgame.
Thornapple Kellogg quar-
terback Carsen Burbridge
was 7-of-17 passing for 95
yards. Senior Matthew
Middleton, another Trojan
QB, had a team high five
rushes for 28 yards in the
ballgame. The top target fo
the TK QB’s was sophomoretight end Jaxan Sias who had
two catches for 66 yards.
The Cougars also scored a
safety on a Trojan punt attempt
and returned a second-half
interception for a touchdown.
TK falls to 1-6 on the sea-
son with the loss. The Trojans
were set to visit winless

Woods who sent it towards the
right corner for Hoeksma.
Hoeksma fired a shot at the
Sailor net that found its way
across the line as Sailor
defender Logyn Huttenga slid
in to try and deflect it away.
Huttenga slammed a fist to
the ground lying on his goal-
line as the Trojans turned
back towards midfield to cel-
ebrate. The Sailors turned up
the pressure from there.
Trojan senior defender Grant
Woods had to head a couple
balls off his own goal-line, with
the first coming on a long
DeRuiter throw in with just
over three minutes to play in
the first half. Leenstra ripped a
shot that went wide of the goal,
and then sent another strong,
low cross through the TK box
that somehow found its way
through a crowd without being
tapped on goal.
Kaiser did a good job
throughout the match of com-
municating with his teammates,
put in the tough position of
filling in for senior keeper
Daniel Beyer who could only
watch from the sidelines after
suffering an injury in the semi-
final match Thursday.
Juniors Austin Chivis and
Jackson Curtis were strong in
transitioning the Trojan play
from defense to offense, espe-
cially in the first half.
