Junior fullback/linebacker Quinton Hawkins ran for 112 yards and a touchdown and produced nine tackles and a forced fumble on defense.

Junior defensive and offensive lineman Thomas Inge recorded 12 tackles and a forced fumble.

“(He) also pancaked people and blocked very well, offensively,” Kenston Forest Head Coach Joseph Kaiser said.

Junior wide receiver/ defensive end/safety Ronique Capers had one receiving touchdown, he finished with eight tackles, and he also scored a touchdown off of a forced fumble by senior linebacker/offensive lineman Colton Carter.

Carter registered 10 tackles and a forced fumble on defense, and Kaiser added that Carter also blocked very well at the center position on offense.
