Prep Football Roundup for Sept. 24

KAISER 48, APPLE VALLEY 42>> If anybody left Malloy Stadium on the Kaiser High School campus early, they missed a furious fourth quarter that saw the host Cats hold on and score a 48-42 win over Apple Valley after building a 21-point margin in the fourth quarter. The Cats (3-1) also had a 48-27 advantage in the fourth before Apple Valley (2-3) got back in the game on the strength of a pair of 33-yard runs by Tristian Mcnatt. One set up a fourth-down score by T.J. Lewis and Mcnatt scored his fourth TD of the night after the Sun Devils recovered an onsides kick.Mcnatt, who finished with 147 yards in nine carries, also caught a two-point conversion pass from Mossy Bell to make it exciting with 2:42 left. But the Cats killed the clock, thanks to a 11-yard carry by Tyler Allgeier for a first down with 131 left. He and Joshua Johnson were the big offensive keys for Kaiser as Johnson scored three times and rushed for 194 on 25 carries on the night late in the third quarter.

A pair of Kaiser sacks took some momentum from Apple Valley, which punted to the Cats’ 3. However, Kaiser responded with a 97-yard drive in four minutes to regain its 48-27 margin on an 8-yard score by Johnson with 8:16 left.

Kaiser’s new-look offense, running its traditional power but without a huddle, paid interesting dividends in the first half as the Cats rolled to a 34-20, which could have been bigger had not Mcnatt had rumbled 57 yards with a deflected pass late in the second quarter. It was the only possession Kaiser did not reach the end zone in the first two quarters.

The Cats have refined their offense with an up tempo approach. Kaiser had just 29 plays in the opening half, with Johnson accounting for nearly half with 14 carries fir 116 yards. He scored twice, both from a yard out, as the Cats mounted drives of 72 yards (in eight plays), 80 in five, 51 in five, 80 in eight and 11 in two after recovering a fumbled punt snap with 2:55 left in the half.
