Kennett's Brett Rose goes up for the ball against Twin Valley, Saturday.<\/p><\/div>\n

KENNETT SQUARE\u2014Was it a case of shooting fish in a barrel? Maybe, though no one would admit it openly<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no such thing as an easy game,\u201d Kennett Head Coach Scott Green sad, even though the performance of the Twin Valley Raiders was even more dismal than the drizzly weather on the overcast Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

Early in the first quarter the tone of the game was set with a fumble from the Raiders recovered by Anthony Torello. This eventually allowed Kennett\u2019s Jordan Lardani to drive into the Twin Valley end zone for a TD with 3:06 left in the first. The blocked two-point conversion resulted in a score of 6-0, Kennett.<\/p>\n

Twin Valley\u2019s experiments in option offense, while ambitious in theory, were in practice a nightmare for them. The next possession was also fumbled and subsequently recovered by the Demons at the Raider 25 yard line.<\/p>\n

Barry Tomasetti Jr. pitched to Lardani for a gain of six yards. From there Torello broke through the line to score another Kennett TD, the extra point making it 13-0.<\/p>\n

By the second quarter a grim trend was being set by Twin Valley. Try as they might, the Raiders just couldn\u2019t compete with the superior Kennett team. After a long possession Lardani made his way to the Raider end zone, which was becoming familiar territory for the Blue Demons, and scored yet another TD. With the extra point the score advanced to 20-0.<\/p>\n

At this point Twin Valley fans were beginning to wonder if their team\u2019s hands were coated in Crisco, as in its subsequent possession\u2014you guessed it\u2014the ball was fumbled, this time recovered by Kennett\u2019s Brandon Liddick.<\/p>\n

Would the half prove to be a miraculous turn around in events, a proverbial reversal of fortune for a beleaguered Twin Valley?<\/p>\n

Nah.<\/p>\n

The Demons continued to dominate, as Torello scored another TD, coupled by an extra point. The score, 27-0, clearly indicated that the game was becoming a runaway. Lardani contributed as well, scoring yet another Demon touch down, with an extra point by Bret Rose, making the score a ridiculous 34-0.<\/p>\n

Adding insult to injury, in the fourth, junior C.J. Lowe took possession of the ball and made a remarkable 65-yard TD run, leaving Twin Vay defenders in his wake, heads spinning like pin wheels trying to figure out what had just happened. And extra point resulted in a score of 41-0.<\/p>\n

In an ironic twist of fate Twin Valley scored a TD of its own, as if to say \u201cyes, it\u2019s possible,\u201d within the final moments of the fourth quarter, however, it was far too little, far too late. Kennett\u2019s victory was complete.<\/p>\n

The game also was a record breaker: Torello, who was a starter since his sophomore year, broke Kennett\u2019s record for career rushing touchdowns with 15, the previous record set by Justin Clark in 2006 with 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel really good about it,\u201d said Torello, \u201cI couldn\u2019t have done it without the help of my teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
