Karns City jumped out to a 27-0 lead in the first half Friday night and cruised to a 34-7 football triumph at Keystone.

The Gremlins (4-2) entered the game with all of their quarterbacks banged up and relied on their ground game to build the early lead.

Official statistics were not available by presstime, but KC coach Ed Conto said, “I told our line we had to blow them off the ball all night because I wasn't going to risk passing and getting our quarterback hurt anymore.”

Karns City threw fewer than five passes in the game.

Dalton Callihan, Ed Craig and Mike Olkowski were among the offensive linemen who led the way for the Gremlins.

“I know Dakota Mohney really ran hard tonight, too,” Conto said.

Keystone (2-4) did not score until the fourth quarter as Austin Chambers delivered a 14-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Servey,
