Karns City overcomes rough start to defeat Moniteau, 35-6
CHERRY TWP — Karns City struggled to keep its hands on the football early.
Once they did secure it, the Gremlins knew what to do with it.
Eric Booher — who got the cast off his injured right wrist Monday — threw for three touchdowns, Cooper Coyle had a pair of explosive runs and the Gremlins turned a pair of interceptions into touchdowns in cruising to a 35-6 football win Friday night at Moniteau.
Karns City started the game by fumbling away two kickoffs, but the Gremlins’ defense kept the Warriors off the scoreboard. After forcing a three-and-out on KC’s first possession, Moniteau (1-4) drove 52 yards in 12 plays with quarterback David Dessicino’s 1-yard run giving the Warriors a 6-0 lead.
The snap was botched on the PAT attempt.
“We certainly don’t want to start games the way we started this one,” KC coach Joe Sherwin said. “But we kept them off the board after fumbling those kickoffs. Then we capitalized on their turnovers later. That was important.”
