Washington Celebrates Senior Night by Hosting Top-Ranked 3A Team Tonight on KCII
The Washington Demons will look to upend the top team in Class 3A, the Solon Spartans, tonight on KCII. After a 28-14 loss to Fairfield last week, the Demons are now 3-3 overall and 0-2 in district play. Washington trailed for the vast majority of the game, going three-and-out to begin the game, then giving up a long touchdown run on the second Fairfield play from scrimmage. Although Washington found success in the passing game, particularly in the second half, the slow start doomed the Demons to a second straight loss after a 3-1 start. Quarterback Nic Stone completed 20 of 34 passes for 225 yards and two touchdowns. Julian Parsons led the Demons in rushing with five carries for 31 yards. Bryer Sobaski continued what has been an excellent sophomore season, making nine catches for 108 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, Boden Brown came away with 14 tackles, eight of which were solo tackles. Blaine Rees had 13 tackles.
