Worthington Trojans senior linebacker Logan Kerkaert was one of his team's defensive leaders this past Friday night. Kerkaert tied for the Trojans' top spot in tackles and also recorded an interception during a 34-0 loss to Fairmont — a game WHS kept close until the waning minutes of the first half.
"Our goal going into the game was to be the best defense on the field, and we had a goal to get at least three turnovers throughout the whole game and to stop them on all their third-down conversions and fourth-down conversions, which we did a pretty good job on doing," Kerkaert explained.
Worthington stopped Fairmont on back-to-back fourth downs at one point. It also recovered a Cardinal fumble and picked off a pair of first-half passes, including Kerkaert's.
"For the most part, I just had to drop back into the window and whatever receiver came across in front of me was my guy to pick up," he described. "So when I saw him come in front of me, I just undercut the route. I looked, the ball was right there — and it was easy pick."
