In the opening game of their 2024 football season, the Kosciusko Whippets hosted the Kemper County Wildcats.
The Wildcats scored first and led, 6-0, at the end of the first quarter. Scoring two more touchdowns, Kemper County led at halftime with a score of 20-0. In the third quarter, the Whippets got on the board, but the Wildcats added two more touchdowns for a score of 32-7. Each team added a touchdown in the fourth quarter for a final score of 38-15.
Lamarcus Riley was named the Autumn Ridge Player of the Game. Now, that’s something to smile about.
Be sure to come back next week when the Whippets travel to Leake Central to face the Gators. All Whippets football games are available on Breezy 101, breezynews.com, the Breezy News app, and, when video is available, the Boswell Media Sports YouTube channel.
