TOPEKA, Kan. — Topeka High scored 22 points including a 23 yard field goal with 37.7 seconds remaining in the 4th quarter to win a first round playoff game vs the Hutchinson Salthawks at Hummer Sports Park in Topeka on Friday night, 45-43.  Hutchinson had taken the lead on a 4 yard run by Patrick Grabaner plus the 2 point conversion run by Grabaner with 2:02 to go up 43-42 over Topeka and everyone thought the Salthawks might pull off the upset.  Topeka High had other ideas and moved the ball quickly into Hutchinson territory which set up the 23 yard field goal by Leonardo.  Hutchinson finished the season 2-7.  Topeka goes to 8-1 with a 2nd round playoff game coming up next week by hosting Washburn Rural.
