The Kaws are 10-1. More importantly, with the win, the Wildcats would ad- vance to the Class 3A football state championship game the following weekend on Saturday, Nov. 28. On the other side of the Class 3A state playoff bracket, Andale (10-0) will host Wichita Colle- giate (10-1) this Friday with a berth in the state championship game also on the line. Last year in the 3A state cham- pionship game, Andale beat Per- ry-Lecompton. Before beating Holton here in the third game of the season, the Kaws started off with wins over Jefferson West (54-6) and Hi- awatha (47-7). After the win over Holton, the Kaws beat KC Bishop-Ward (71-0), Winfield (41-13) and Osawatomie (58-6). On Oct. 16, the Kaws lost to Topeka-Hayden (10-0) and then beat Santa Fe Trail (52-6) and Rock Creek (35-22) before beat- ing Hayden in a rematch on Nov. 6 (20-7). Last week, the Kaws beat Prairie View (49-14) for a sectional title. Holton lost three fumbles in the first game versus Perry- Lecompton. “I think we are a much bet- ter team than we were earlier in the season and we expected that growth,’’ said Holton head coach Brooks Barta this week. “We are much more intelligent and fun- damentally a much better team. Perry will look a little like a dif- ferent team this time. They are much more run oriented due The top photo here shows the Holton Wildcats football team hoisting the Class 3A sectional championship trophy awarded to them to the loss of a very good QB.
