Call it revenge for 2005. Call it whatever you want -- LHS made a statement against Olathe East in the final week of this year's regular season. The onslaught began with two LHS first quarter touchdown runs; the first on a 58-yarder from JD Woods and the second on a 53-yard run from Ivan Hollins. Olathe East stayed in the game with a 13-yard touchdown pass from Chase Miller to Anthony McCray. But before the quarter ended, Woods punched in a five-yard touchdown run to give the Chesty Lions a comfortable 21-7 lead.
On the ensuing possession, Olathe East pulled close, once again, when they capped a drive with a three-yard touchdown run from Jalen Branson. LHS answered with a one-yard touchdown run from Woods to make things 28-14. Olathe East fumbled on their next possession, and Price Morgan recovered the loose ball and took it back 46 yards for a touchdown to give LHS a bigger advantage. Just before the half, Ellis Springe added a 41-yard field goal to give LHS a 38-14 lead. Olathe East opened scoring in the second half with a five-yard touchdown run from Branson to make things 38-21. LHS came back with three touchdown runs, the first a 43-yarder from Woods, the second an 18-yarder from Woods, and the third a 41-yarder from Trey Moore to make the lead 59-21. Branson took a carry in from seven yards out to start the fourth quarter, making the game 59-28. LHS' final score came on the ensuing kickoff on an 85-yard kick return for a touchdown by Nyle Anderson.
