TORONTO — The scoreboard operator was quite busy as Toronto and Conotton Valley lit up the scoreboard and combined to score 95 points Friday night at Clarke Hinkle Field.

In a game full of big plays, the Red Knights made more as Toronto scored a touchdown on all 10 of its offensive drives to earn a 68-27 victory via the running clock.

“We had a great week of practice,” first-year Toronto (6-2) head coach Jaret Aubiel said. “We were prepared. We definitely have some things to clean up, but it is a nice win.”

The Knights tallied 574 yards of total offense with five touchdowns coming on the ground and five coming through the air.

“We were clicking tonight,” Aubiel said. “We did a good job with our running game and in our passing game.”

Toronto senior standout quarterback Zeb Kinsey broke three school records in the win. Kinsey completed 14-of-19 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns, while also running five times for 52 yards and another touchdown.

On the night, Kinsey set school records for most career touchdown passes, most career passing yards and the most passing yards in a single season.

“I did not know that was possible,” Aubiel said. “I didn’t know the stats. I am happy for him. It is well deserved.”

On the flip side, defensively, the Red Knights allowed the Rockets to collect 252 yards of offense with 259 yards and three touchdowns coming through the air.

“We have some things we have to clean up at practice,” Aubiel said. “We are going to continue to work and get better.”

The hosts threw for 327 yards and ran for 247 yards on their way to the 41-point victory.

Aiden Filby finished the game with seven receptions for 204 yards, Brady Fair delivered six rushes for 85 yards and two touchdowns, while also hauling in four catches for 52 yards and Zavier Kinsey contributed 45 yards and two touchdowns on five carries.

Also for the victors, backup quarterback Michael Henry completed all three of his passes for 38 yards and a touchdown with all three completions going to Max Rebich. Finally, Mason Marchbank produced four receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown.

For the Rockets (5-3), quarterback Zach Putnam completed 22-of-39 passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns to go along with three interceptions.

Brooks Bower recorded six receptions for 111 yards and three touchdowns to lead the way for the boys from Harrison County, while Kamden Wright tallied eight catches for 64 yards. Wright also recorded a touchdown on a 52-yard fumble recovery following a Toronto interception.

The visitors were held to minus-7 yards rushing on 12 carries.

“Defensively, we got stops when we needed to,” Aubiel said. “We’re not happy about giving all that up. We’re happy with this win, and we will move on to next week.”

The two teams combined to score 34 points in the first quarter.

The Knights opened the scoring on the second play of the game as Zeb Kinsey hooked up with Filby for a 50-yard touchdown. The extra point was missed to keep the score at 6-0 with 11:11 left to play in the quarter.

The visitors answered right back.

The Rockets marched right down the field, and Putnam hooked up with Bower for a 3-yard score to knot the score at 6. Conotton Valley went for 2, and Putnam found Gavin Haney in the end zone for the conversion to give the visitors an 8-6 lead 8:23 remaining in the first.

Toronto came right back to regain the lead. This time, Zeb Kinsey did it himself as the University of Cincinnati commit ran for a 26-yard score. The Red Knights elected to go for 2 following the score, however, the run was not successful, keeping the score 12-8 with 5:30 left in the quarter.

The Red Knights came up with a big play defensively on Conotton Valley’s next drive as Putnam was intercepted for the first time, however, disaster struck when Wright stripped the ball away and ran 52 yards for a touchdown to regain the lead for the Rockets at 14-12. They went for 2 for the second time, however, the pass fell incomplete keeping them up by two with 4:07 left in the first.

Zavier Kinsey scored Toronto’s third touchdown of the night on a 6-yard run, and this time, Zeb Kinsey ran it in for the 2-point conversion to put the Red Knights out in front, 20-14, with one minute remaining to be played in the quarter.

The second quarter belonged to the victors as Toronto tallied 28 unanswered points to build a 48-14 advantage bringing the running clock into play to open the third.

Fair opened the scoring in the stanza with a 54-yard run, and Zavier Kinsey recovered a fumble in the end zone to record the 2-point conversion giving the Red Knights a 28-14 lead with 9:01 left to play before halftime.

Next, Fair reached paydirt on a 17-yard run, however, the extra point was blocked keeping the score at 34-14 with 5:57 remaining to be played in the half.

Fair then intercepted a pass on Conotton Valley’s ensuing possession to give the ball to Toronto’s offense at the Rockets’ 15. On 4th-and-7 from the 12, Zeb Kinsey found Marchbank in the back of the end zone for a score, and Henry kicked the extra point to extend Toronto’s advantage to 41-14 with 4:02 remaining in the quarter.

“That was the bright spot for the defense,” Aubiel said about his team’s trio of interceptions.

Finally, Filby finished off the scoring in the half when he scored on a 45-yard reception from Zeb Kinsey, and Henry split the uprights on the PAT to increase Toronto’s advantage to 48-14 with 1:03 still showing on the scoreboard clock.

The Rockets put an end to the running clock on their first drive of the second half. Bower hauled in a 17-yard pass from Putnam, and Coltin Hott booted the PAT to make the score 48-21 with 7:20 left in the third.

The running clock was brought right back into play as Zavier Kinsey ran for a 10-yard score, and Henry split the uprights on the extra point to make it a 55-21 ballgame with 3:53 remaining in the quarter.

Conotton Valley once again answered to bring the running clock to an end for the second time in the second half. This time, Putnam hooked up with Bower for a 56-yard touchdown. The Rockets elected to go for 2 for the third time, however, the run was unsuccessful keeping the score at 55-27 with 1:28 left in the quarter.

The Red Knights brought the running clock back into play for the third and final time on their ensuing drive as Filby scored on a 62-yard reception on the first play of the next drive, and Henry kicked the extra point to make the score, 62-27, with 31 seconds left in the third.

Toronto capped the scoring in the fourth as Henry hooked up with Rebich for a 5-yard score, and the Red Knights took a knee on the conversion attempt keeping the score 62-27 with 1:58 remaining in the game.

Toronto is scheduled to play Caldwell at 7 p.m. Friday night on the road at Howard J. Devol Field.

The Redskins will enter next week’s game with a record of 4-4 as Caldwell defeated Shadyside, 63-7, Friday night at home.
