“We have a hard time getting into the flow,” Remy said. “Credit our seniors, who carried us tonight.”

Larned answered with a 16-yard TD [pass from Smith to Skelton for a 7-7 halftime tie.

Larned’s Perez broke an 28-yard run and and Skelton caught a 37-yard touchdown pass for a 14-7 lead. Larned’s drives were slowed by flags and Johnson hit Cox for a 13-yard touchdown pass for a 14-14 tie.

Larned’s Skelton caught an 86-yard touchdown pass and Perez added a 29-yard TD for a 26-14 lead. Holcomb’s Levi Knoll’s caught a 61-yard TD pass for a 26-21 score.
