Kickapoo quarterback Chris Lawson left St. Louis disappointed on a November night.
He didn’t let a loss keep him down.
Coming off a loss to CBC in the 2015 Class 6 playoff semifinals and a 12-1 season, Lawson and the Chiefs looked at the 2016 season opener at Parkview as a chance to make a statement win. They did, by beating Parkview 55-26 at JFK Stadium Friday night in a clash of Springfield schools.
Lawson finished the game 20-of-27 passing for 248 yards and three touchdowns. He also scored a rushing touchdown and gained 39 yards on four attempts.
