Kentlake started scoring right away and didn’t stop until the third quarter, putting South Puget Sound League 4A North Division rival Mount Rainier away 55-0 Saturday night at French Field.

On a rainy, cool night, the Falcons jumped out to a 13-0 lead on its first two possession of the game and never looked back.

Junior running back Caleb Mathena made it 20-0 to start the second quarter on a 16 yard scamper.

Next up Steffin Church, who started again at quarterback, tossed a 15-yard touchdown strike to Jordan Seffens with 6:38 left in the third to make it 27-0.

Scoring was spread out among the running back corps as sophomore Riley Higgins made it 34-0 with his dash for the end zone.

Just a few plays later Mount Rainier fumbled the ball. Kentlake recovered and quickly scored as senior running back Tanner Lucas, who started out the scoring in the first quarter, dashed in for his second touch down of the night to make it 41-0.

But, the Falcons weren’t done with scoring in the first half.

As time expired, Church threw his second touchdown pass of the night to Trevor Baldwin, making the score at halftime 48-0 in favor of Kentlake.

Higgins tacked on the final score for the Falcons when he took it to the house less than two minutes after the third quarter started.

The win improved Kentlake’s record to 3-0 as it heads into a week four match up against the early season surprise Thomas Jefferson, which knocked off Kentwood a week ago and added an 8-7 victory over perennial contender Auburn on Friday night.

Kentlake travels to Thomas Jefferson next Friday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
