Kilgore College rolls to win over Crusaders

KILGORE — There are several ways to score touchdowns in college football.

The No. 9 ranked Kilgore College Rangers sampled several of them on Saturday, coasting to a 63-0 non-conference win over Community Christian College in a homecoming celebration at R.E. St. John Memorial Stadium.

Kilgore, coming off a heartbreaking 35-30 loss to Cisco in Southwest Junior College Football Conference play a week ago, left little doubt in this one.

The Rangers scored on the fourth play of the game and on all seven of its first half drives to build a commanding 49-0 halftime led against the Crusaders.

Playing with a running clock in the second half, KC had just three possessions and scored on two of them.

The Rangers had five passing touchdowns shared by Seth Mouser (3) and Tyler Webb (2) and added rushing touchdowns from four different players — piling up 256 yards on the ground, 309 through the air and 565 total.

The KC defense, meanwhile, held Community Christian to 26 total yards, including minus 35 rushing. Twelve of CCC’s 22 rushing plays went for negative yardage.

Webb finished the day 9 of 12 through the air for 175 yards and the two scores. Mouser was 6 for 6 for 136 yards and three touchdowns.

Dominique Williams carried six times for 52 yards, and Jahrik Jones saw time at QB and finished with 78 yards on just two carries — one going for 65 yards and a TD.

Tight end Ashtin Watkins caught three passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns.

KC led 21-0 after one quarter after a 46-yard touchdown pass from Webb to Watkins, a 14-yard TD run by Tanner Harrison and an 11-yard scoring strike from Mouser to Samuel Mbake.

Mbake scored on a 9-yard run to open the second quarter, and the Rangers poured it on before the break with a 6-yard TD run by Gary Maddox, a 50-yard touchdown pass from Webb to Devontae Mozee and a 49-yard TD pass from Mouser to Watkins.

Jones rambled 65 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, and Mouser hit Cedric Harden on a 42-yard TD strike late in the fourth quarter to make the final 62-0.

Kilgore runs its record to 4-1 on the year, and will take a week off before returning to SWJCFC action with a tough schedule that will feature three of the final four games on the road.

The Rangers will visit Trinity Valley on Oct. 19 and Tyler on Oct. 26, host Blinn on Nov. 2 and then close out the regular season at Northeastern Oklahoma on Nov. 9
