He added a fourth TD on a 32-yard run in the third quarter. Caden Anderson put his feet to good use on a 30-yard scoring run and on a 41-yard field goal for a 35-0 lead after three quarters.

Altamont scored its only touchdown on an 18-yard run by Waylon Thompson in the fourth quarter. Russell Brinkerhoff connected on the extra-point kick.

Holmes ran for 120 yards and scored four touchdowns. Rich held AHS to 68 yards of total offense in the first half.
