Rogers 40, Kentlake 13: Cody Arp and Jordan Smith each caught touchdown passes, but it wasn’t enough for the Falcons (3-1, 3-2) in a nonleague loss to the Rams.

Arp’s touchdown reception, a 23-yard strike, came from quarterback Lewi Larson. Smith’s, a 7-yard score, came from backup quarterback Tyler Borgen.

“They’re fast, they’re athletic and the quarterback they had is probably the best one I’ve seen in a while,” Kentlake coach Mike Shepard said.

It was Kentlake’s second straight loss since starting the season 3-0. The Falcons will try and get back in the win column on Friday when they play host to unbeaten Auburn (5-0, 5-0).

• Kentwood 35, Kent-Meridian 13: Darrius Coleman rushed for a career-high 214 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries, leading the Conquerors (2-2 in league, 3-2 overall) past the Royals.

Kent-Meridian’s Artise Gauldin, a former Kentwood standout, gave the Royals a first-quarter lead with an 18-yard touchdown run. Gauldin added a 5-yard score in the second quarter, helping the Royals (0-5, 0-5) go into halftime on top 13-7.

The Conquerors proceeded to rip off 28 unanswered second-half points to secure the win, their 13th straight over Kent-Meridian.

Running back Joseph Banks scored twice in the second half for the Conquerors, Steven Warner added another score while Coleman finished up Kentwood’s scoring with a 28-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Kentwood, which has won two straight after a two-game slide, will travel to Jefferson (0-5, 0-5) on Friday.

• Auburn 34, Kentridge 3: The Trojans (5-0, 5-0) continued to have their way on the ground, racking up five rushing touchdowns en route to throttling the Chargers (1-3, 2-3) at Auburn Memorial Stadium.

After a 0-0 first quarter, Jeff Gouveia got the Trojans on the board with a 5-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Chris Young, who scored twice in the game, added an 8-yard score in the quarter, giving Auburn a 14-0 halftime lead.

Kentridge’s Wes Concepcion delivered a 21-yard field goal in the third quarter, helping the Chargers cut the deficit to 14-3. But that’s all Kentridge could muster.

Auburn will travel to Kentlake (3-1, 3-2) on Friday while Kentridge will play host to Tahoma (4-1, 4-1) on Saturday.
