The Redmond High football team put together a monster of a second half in a 20-6 win over Woodinville last Friday night at Redmond High School.

After both team’s defenses halted drives and kept the game scoreless in the first half, senior quarterback Michael Conforto opened up the scoring early in the third quarter with a 22-yard run, and later launched a 67-yard bomb to Cody Klepinger in the fourth quarter to increase Redmond’s lead to 16-0 and put the game out of reach.

Chris Schumacher had a busy night, kicking both of the Mustangs’ extra points as well as field goals of 33 and 32 yards.

The Falcon’s lone score was late in the fourth quarter, a 71-yard touchdown run by Caleb Hamilton.

The Mustangs were able to cut down on the penalties that have plagued them so far this season, as they had just nine for a total of 76 yards, compared to Woodinville’s 15 for 176 yards.

With the win in their 4A Kingco league opener, the Mustangs improved to 2-1 overall.
