Kennedy fuels Mustangs to victory BROOKINGS -- Quarterback Matt Kennedy passed for five touchdowns and ran for one more as eighth-ranked Hidden Valley outscored Brookings-Harbor 42-28 in non-conference football Friday. Kennedy hooked up with his two favorite receivers -- Ryan Wilson and Dereck Horning -- for two touchdown passes apiece. Hidden Valley jumped out to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter, but the Bruins answered on touchdown runs of 42 and 1 yards by Matt Overland to slice the Mustangs' lead to 21-15. Kennedy connected with Wilson on a 45-yard scoring strike to give Hidden Valley a 28-15 halftime lead. Overland accounted for all of Brookings' touchdowns -- three on runs and a 59-yard pass to Matt Taylor.

With Vie carrying the ball, the host Red Devils used the option play for several big gains and injury-riddled Rogue River generated little offense in losing for the second time in as many games. Rogue River's three starting receivers -- Jesse Smith, Rick Shamblin and Ryan Woodall -- missed the game with injuries. Without that trio, the Chiefs' run-and-shoot offense never got untracked. Tony Roberts played well at both fullback and outside linebacker for the Chieftains.

Trammell had an 86-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to give the Vikings a 14-0 halftime lead. Quarterback Tyler Starkey added 74 yards rushing on 12 attempts. Mazama outrushed Yreka 216-100 and outgained it 260-216.

Thede connected with Jeremy Axel for touchdown of 60 and 70 yards, while Greg Conover rushed for 83 yards and two touchdowns for the Hornets (2-0). Henley's offense racked up 304 yards rushing and 237 yards passing, while the Hornet defense allowed only 53 yards rushing and 8 passing. South Umpqua fell to 1-1.
