Senior Tommy Plunkey plowed into the end zone four times, helping the Hornets amass 44 points and secure a 20-point victory over Owosso during Homecoming.

Scoring the most points in a game this season, the Hornets beat the Trojans 44-24 on Friday, Oct. 13.

Seniors Jacob Kunkel and Taveon Harris also scored touchdowns for Kearsley.

Plunkey said he is happy with his last home game as a senior.

“It definitely felt good, and I think it will leave me with a good memory in the future.”

This is the third time Plunkey has scored four touchdowns in a game in his career.

Plunkey attributes his touchdowns to the blocking of his line.

“My linemen were definitely aggressive, and they played smart in this game,” Plunkey said. “It was a collective effort.  Everyone was on the same page.”

The homecoming victory capped an outstanding week for Plunkey. Three days before the game he was named the male Flint Metro League Scholar-Athlete of the Month for October.

As for the Hornets earning their second victory of the season, Coach Kaleb Forr said he was pleased with his team’s energy.

“They did awesome,” Forr said. “The offense, defense, special teams did great, and I’m very pleased with their efforts.”

Kearsley’s season will end next Friday, Oct. 20, when the team travels to Flushing for its final game. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
