Kentwood JV 35, Auburn Riverside 0

Kentwood extended their 2011 record to 8-0 with a 35-0 victory over the home team Auburn Riverside Ravens.  Chris Sipe, Nick Barden, Quintin Trinh, and Tim Angevine all scored rushing touchdowns in this shutout over the Ravens.  Barden and Trinh both plowed through the middle of the defense for scores, while Sipe got to the outside on his touchdown run.  Angevine made lemonade out of lemons when he went the wrong way on a lead play, tucked the ball and followed his blockers into the endzone.  Earlier in the game Angevine would connect with-no surprise here- Terrence Grady for a long touchdown pass.  The defense had some hiccups throughout the game, but were able to do their best “bend but don’t break” impersonation, keeping the Ravens off the scoreboard for the entire game.  The Conks have exploded on offense over the past 4 games, scoring 179 points for an average of nearly 45 points a game.

Kentwood JV 56, Kent-Meridian 18

The Conqueror JV team racked up 56 points for the second game in a row with a 56-18 win over Kent-Meridian.  Tre Thomas, Brandon Sytsma, and Chris Sipe each had two touchdowns rushing, and Dominic Lindstrom added another as the ground game from the Conks was nearly impossible to stop.  Tim Angevine connected with Terrance Grady on 4^th down for a touchdown, as Angevine hit several other throws as well.  This was Grady’s 8^th touchdown reception of the JV season.  In addition, the offensive line was dominating, pushing the Royals’ defensive line back into their own linebackers throughout most of the game. 

Kentwood JV 56, Kentlake 12

The Kentwood JV football team throttled cross-town rival Kentlake 56-12 this past Monday to improve to 6-0.  Still smarting from the Varsity’s one point loss, the JV came out with a ton of energy and made it a long day for the Kentlake JV, seemingly scoring at will.  Kevin Thissel led the scoring, getting in the endzone twice on long runs.  Dominic Lindstrom and Brandon Sytsma both reached the endzone in the first half, scoring on long runs as well.  Yet another touchdown pass from WR/backup QB Kyle Kirkham to WR Terrence Grady led to KW’s only score through the air.  Chris Sipe ended the 1^st half in exciting fashion with an interception return for a touchdown with no time left on the clock.  Tre Thomas took his first carry of the 2^nd half the distance, widening the lead to 49-6.  Nick Barden finished the scoring by powering in from just a couple of yards out, to put the final score at 56-12.  The defense played another outstanding game, this time led by the play of the defensive backfield. 

Kentwood has productive second half with win over KM
