September 7th
CULVER â Culver Military Academy snapped Class A No. 1 Lafayette Central Catholicâs 48-game football winning streak with a 14-12 victory at Oliver Field Friday.
âOur boys showed tremendous resiliency and resolve tonight. We had our backs against the wall again, but our defense rose to the challenge,â CMA head coach Andy Dorrel said. âIâm just very proud of our coaching staff and our kids, and the opportunity to win a game like this is very special in high school football.â
MIDDLEBURY â Ike Kastner is back, and the Rockies are happy to have him.
The third-year senior signal caller returned from a three-game suspension Friday, and he ran Plymouthâs offense like a player with something to prove, rattling off three rushing touchdowns and a two-point conversion en route to a game-high 220 rushing yards and guiding the Rockies to a 34-0 Northern Lakes Conference rout of the Raiders on the road at Northridge.
BOURBON â Bremen football head coach Bob Holmes downgraded his victorious squadâs emotional response from âhappyâ to âcontentâ Friday night.
Considering the Lionsâ three turnovers inside the Triton 10 and a fourth just outside the Triton 20 as well as a fourth-quarter roughing-the-kicker penalty, âcontentâ sounds just about right for the Lionsâ 7-0 Northern State Conference win at Triton.
âWeâre happy to get out of here with a win,â Holmes said. âWe played a sloppy game, but we exited with a âW.â I shouldnât say weâre happy, weâre content.â
