Kennedy Catholic traveled to Enumclaw seeking revenge. A season ago, the Hornets prevailed during a 57-48 shootout against the much-publicized Lancers.

It was a different story this time around, as the private school from Burien rolled to a 42-13 win at the Enumclaw Expo Center.

Enumclaw now sits at 1-1 in North Puget Sound League play and is 4-1 overall. Kennedy Catholic improved to 2-0 in league play and 5-0 overall.

The Hornets couldn’t muster much offense during the early stages and found themselves trailing 21-0 at halftime.

A handful of statistics told the story. The Lancers totaled 508 yards in total offense (270 rushing, 238 passing) to Enumclaw’s 327 (271 on the ground but just 56 through the air). The Hornets were guilty of three turnovers while the Lan... Click here to read full article
