KENTWOOD — In the regular-season finale for both teams, Kentwood scored two touchdowns in the first half and held Southern Lab out of the end zone on a fourth-quarter two-point conversion attempt to prevail, 14-13.

It was the only District 6-1A loss of the season for the Kittens (7-3, 3-1), who entered Friday’s game as the No. 9-ranked team in Class 1A.

Kentwood (4-5, 2-2) had just one district win heading into the game, having defeated last-place Archbishop Hannan on Oct. 16.

On Friday, the Kangaroos took a 6-0 lead in the first quarter on a 6-yard run by Harlan Miller. Kentwood made it 14-0 in the second quarter when Harlan found Desmond Sibley on an 11-yard touchdown pass and the Kangaroos added a two-point conversion.

The Kittens cut it to 14-7 when Maurice Aucoin scored from 3 yards out. In the fourth quarter, quarterback Brandon Patin fired a 9-yard pass to Cardell Brown.
