This potent offense continued through the second half when Baker found the end zone again, but this time on a 51-yard run. Bohenek scored the next two Turpin scores on a 15-yard and three-yard scores. The last score forced the running clock.

This was Turpin’s first playoff appearance since 2012 when the Spartans finished the regular season undefeated, and made it to the Regional Semifinals.
