BALDWIN CITY, Kan. -- No. 8-ranked Lindsey Wilson football’s season ended today with a 42-27 loss to second-ranked Baker (Kan.) in the NAIA Football Championship Series Quarterfinals at Emil Liston Stadium.
The Blue Raiders (11-2) committed a season-high six turnovers in the setback after entering the game with 12 miscues all season. Baker (13-0) marches into next week’s national semifinals with the win. Lindsey Wilson fell behind 21-3 during a disastrous opening quarter. Jared Dougherty connected on a 23-yard field goal for the lone Lindsey Wilson points in the first frame. Baker took the opening drive 57 yards for a score to take a 7-0 lead and doubled its lead after Lindsey Wilson fumbled on its first offensive play of the game at the Blue Raider two-yard line to set up the score. The Wildcats scored again late in the first quarter and on their first drive of the second quarter --both touchdown tosses from Logan Brettell -- to put the Wildcats up 28-3. Dylan Beasley -- who surpassed 6,000 career-passing yards during the game -- capped a six-play, 36-yard drive with a touchdown throw to Allen Cooks to cut the Baker lead to 28-9. The extra point was blocked. Cooks finished with a team-high seven catches for 98 yards. Cornell Brown’s 1-yard touchdown run -- his second of the game -- pushed the Baker lead to 35-9 midway through the second quarter. Lindsey Wilson bounced back to score just before halftime. Blake Ingleton scored from one-yard out to end a 14-play, 50-yard drive. The 35-16 halftime deficit was the largest of the season for the Blue Raiders. After surrendering 35 points -- some on short fields -- and more than 300 yards, the Lindsey Wilson defense held the Wildcats to just seven points in the second half and 181 yards. The offense took its cue from the defense to help Lindsey Wilson climb back into the game. A second Dougherty field goal and another Beasley to Cooks touchdown helped Lindsey Wilson climb within one score -- 35-27 -- with 2:18 left in the third quarter. After the LWC defense forced a Baker punt, Lindsey Wilson fumbled deep in its own territory, giving the Wildcats the ball on the Blue Raider 11-yard line. Brettell stole the Lindsey Wilson momentum with a nine-yard touchdown run to give the Wildcats the 42-27 lead with nine seconds left in the third. The two defenses did not allow a fourth-quarter score to give Baker the 42-27 win. Beasley finished 22-of-43 for 251 passing yards while Jalen Sublett led the ground attack with 90 rushing yards. Sublett concludes his career with 1,680 rushing yards -- second only to Rome Cotton’s 1,694 -- and with a program-record 29 rushing touchdowns. Holt Keeling led the Blue Raiders with eight tackles in the game while Avery Ford collected his program-record 10th interception of his career. Lindsey Wilson ends its season with a program-best 11 wins and a second appearance in the national quarterfinals. A four-wheeler and trailer were destroyed by arson and a truck was damaged by fire and graffiti at the home of high school principal Troy Young early Friday morning.
Young said his wife left for Black Friday shopping just after 3 a.m. and everything was fine. Around 5 a.m. he heard someone beating on his door after a passerby saw the fire. The trailer was attached to Young’s pickup truck, which was also damaged by fire. On each side of the truck someone spray painted, “4 N 4 Ag.” The loss of an agriculture teacher position at the high school caused an emotional stir in the community several years ago. Just recently two new school board members with backgrounds in agriculture were elected and the high school agriculture program is again the topic of many conversations. Even so, members of the community are urging people to not jump to conclusions and allow law enforcement time to complete their investigation. The two new board members, Jonathan Gaskins and Daniel Adams, were quick to condemn the attack on Young’s property. “They don’t represent us at all,” Gaskins said about the person or people who caused the damage. “It’s kind of shocking that someone would do that. If anything it would hurt our chances of getting that ag position back. That won’t be tolerated.” Adams concurred. “I am disappointed. This does not represent the people I know–the community I know. This does not represent the people who supported me in the election,” Adams said. “It will not be condoned or tolerated and they should be punished to fullest extent of law.” State Rep. John “Bam” Carney, who is a school teacher in Taylor County, said any act against someone in education because of their work should be treated very seriously. “If this is proven to be related to school every charge that can be needs to be added,” Carney said. “We will not tolerate school officials being attacked at their home.” Young said he was shocked by the attack and does not know who is to blame. He said he received threats when the ag position was eliminated but “I thought that was water under the bridge.” Kentucky State Police is investigating the incident.
