Homedale 27
Kellogg 7
KELLOGG - The host Wildcats had a rough day offensively as junior quarterback Dominic Easley threw five interceptions en route to a 27-7 loss to the Homedale Trojans in the opening round of the state 3A playoffs at Teeters Field.
Easley would finish with just 57 yards passing as the offense struggled to get anything going.
"We couldn't get anything going on offense and the turnovers during the game really hurt us," Kellogg coach Tyrel Hendrix said. "Our defense stepped up in the second half, giving us a chance but we couldn't capitalize on it."
Kellogg's lone touchdown came with two minutes left when senior Gus Colburn would return a fumble 70 yards for a touchdown.
Kellogg finishes 2-7.
Homedale (6-3) travels to Emmett in the quarterfinals.
