Kankakee QB Phillip Turner

Phillip Turner, Kankakee's senior quarterback, waited for a rematch after last year's game against Crete-Monee didn't go his way.

Turner scores two touchdowns

Turner broke off two dazzling touchdown dashes early, getting the No. 20 Kays off and running en route to a 34-14 win Friday night in Crete.

Davion White's defensive touchdown

Davion White had a 70-yard strip-and-score 66 seconds after Turner's second TD as Kankakee (6-2, 5-0 Southland) opened a 21-0 lead less than two minutes into the second quarter.

Crete-Monee's comeback attempt

Crete-Monee (6-2, 4-1) got within a touchdown, but the Kays sealed it with late rushing scores by 280-pound defensive tackle Jyheir Sutton and Lebron Campbell.

Turner's game stats

Turner had 138 rushing yards at halftime and finished with 144 on nine carries.

Turner's reaction

Turner said, 'This game’s big definitely for us and me personally, too. Last year I got hurt [broken finger] during this game, so I took it personal.'

Hazelett on Turner's injury

Hazelett noted Turner missed a game earlier due to a hamstring injury and was working on it day by day.

Crete's unconventional offense

Crete-Monee used a diverse offense with Dominic Jackson starting on both defense and offense, rumbled for 119 yards on 18 carries, and threw an eight-yard TD pass.

Crete's turnovers

Crete turned the ball over twice, once on downs at the Kankakee three-yard line and once on a high snap when driving and down 21-14 early in the fourth quarter.

Crete coach's comments

Crete coach John Konecki said, 'You can’t win games if you turn the ball over. I’ve coached a lot of football games. Those things happen.'
