In what figured to be one of the top Class 4A clashes in Kansas this week, Louisburg and Tonganoxie didn’t let anyone down.

The Wildcats outlasted Tongie, 21-20, in overtime in Louisburg. Darvy Van Eaton took a handoff off right guard and wide open for the game-winning 10-yard touchdown in overtime.

After Louisburg kicked the PAT for a 21-14 lead, Tonganoxie faced a third-and-nine, quarterback Talon Langford faked a handoff, turned to the right side and hit Todd Brown by the pylon for a touchdown. Both teams took timeouts, then Tonganoxie opted to go for two and the win. But senior defensive end Lucas Swartz swiftly came off the left edge, and wrapped running back Tanner Hand in the backfield to seal the victory, with the Wildcats storming off the field.

Tonganoxie had tied the game at 14-14 at the end of the third quarter, after a 13-play, 70-yard drive that took 6:19 was capped by a 1-yard Hand touchdown plunge. But from there, neither team could threaten to score, resulting in overtime.

Hand also had scored the Chieftains first touchdown with a 41-yard touchdown scoot with 4:03 left in the first half.

Louisburg took a 14-0 lead off the legs of speedy Myles Vohs, as the senior took an end around at the Tongie 29 to the right sideline, then reversed back around to the left sideline before finding a gap and racing up the hash for a touchdown and 7-0 lead with 7:41 in the first.

Vohs followed that act with a 41-yard touchdown reception, catching a pass in the flat and raced up the seam for a 14-0 lead with 7:23 remaining before the break.

Louisburg will travel to Paola (0-1) next Friday, while the Chieftains will entertain Spring Hill (1-0).
