Washington High Opens Season with Keota rout
Washington high school's eleven defeated Keota 35 to 0 in the opening game. The locals showed a powerful line and backfield with speed, though penalties and start roughness limited execution. Putnam and Jones scored multiple touchdowns with Lemley adding five goals after touchdown. Keota threatened briefly but Washington dominated inside the Keota thirty yard line most of the first half.
