EMPORIA — (AP) – Make it 7 straight for the West All-Stars.

Former Hutchinson star Ja’Mon Cotton, a late replacement for the West, scored on a 9-yard fourth-quarter run to lift the West to a 14-7 win over the East.

Cotton, who led the Salthawks to the Class 5A title at Welch Stadium last November, rushed for 60 yards on 12 carries to lead all rushers and was named the West’s most valuable player.

Cotton’s TD, which came with 10:01 left in the game, capped an eight-play, 67-yard scoring march. Cotton’s score came a play after the East was whistled for pass interference.

The West led the East 8-7 through three quarters, with a 2-point conversion pass from West quarterback Matt Reed (Wichita Heights) to Jordan Hart (McPherson) in the opening quarter providing the difference at that point.
