LoMa 12
The Kuemper Knights avenged their week one loss last season by opening up the 2022 season getting past LoMa on Friday.
The Panthers were first to strike in the first quarter and got up 6-0 entering the second quarter. Kuemper was able to flip the script and dominate the second quarter. DJ Vonnahme was able to roll out from the LoMa defense and find a wide-open Will Simons for their first touchdown of the game and grabbed the lead with the extra point at 7-6. Off I-formation, the Knights were able to hand the ball off to Sibenaller who had great help from his offensive line to tumble in for a 10-yard touchdown to give the Knights the 13-6 lead heading into halftime.
LoMa started off the second half with a momentum shift on fourth and 12. Quarterback Calvin Wallace found Tarick Rowe in the endzone to cut down the Kuemper lead to 13-12 with another unsuccessful extra point attempt. The Knights responded right away with a long rushing touchdown from Logan Sibenaller. From around midfield, Sibenaller broke through the middle of the LoMa defense, had blockers downfield, and he had himself a 71-yard touchdown to extend the Knight’s lead to 20-12. DJ Vonnahme pulled double duty in this game when he picked off LoMa for a 34-yard pick-six to give the Knights the 27-12 lead.
Along with his pick six, Vonnahme was able to put up 132 passing yards and two touchdowns. In the fourth quarter, the Knights put the game away for good with a 24-yard touchdown pass from Vonnahme to Benjamin Gerken to give the Knights a 34-12 lead. The defense for Kuemper had big plays all night long and look to be in good shape. Evan Adams lead the defense with 5.5 total tackles while Chris Mohr and John Boes both had five total tackles and three solo tackles. The Knights came away victorious by a final score of 34-12.
The Knights are on the road this week when they take on Atlantic.
