Hi-Line Football Roundup

There was one Hi-Line football team that was able to squeak out a tight win over the weekend, but the rest of the local programs either blew out the completion, or got blown out.

Playing Saturday on the road, the Chester/J-I Hawks avenged last weekend’s conference loss with a win over Power-Dutton-Brady in Northern C 8-Man action. The Hawks improved to 4-1 this season with a narrow 44-34 win.

The Hawks typically find a lot of success with their rushing game, but this time around it was Dell Harmon who helped lead the way with his arm. Harmon passed for 251 yards and hit receivers for four touchdowns. Harmon connected with Justin May on a 48-yard TD and 23-yard pass scoring strike, as well as Brandon Richter on a 13-yard pass and Tim Stokes on a 65-yard pass. But May also made an impact with his legs, rushing for 196 yards and punching in a score from one-yard out.

Cody Ramberg also got in on the action with a one-yard rushing TD.

C/J-I got out to a 24-14 halftime lead, but the Hawks had to fend off a P-D-B 20-point second half with a 20-point second half of their own.

The Hawks will host Sunburst in Chester on Friday for Homecoming.

North Star 77, Box Elder 39

In another conference rivalry game, the Northern C Six-Man North Star Knights and Box Elder Bears also faced off. But adding to the blowout theme, it was the Knights who earned the 77-39 win on Homecoming day in Rudyard.

North Star has been a pleasant surprise to local fans this year and the Knights remain undefeated this season. The Knights are 4-0. With the loss the Bears have slipped to 1-3, their only win to this point coming in week one.

The Knights jumped out to an early lead with 13 first quarter points and 19 second quarter points, but it was their 32-point third quarter showing that really put the game out of reach. The Bears only had seven first half points, but made a push in the third quarter with 25 points. But with the Knights’ never ending production, the game was already too far out of reach. The Knights outscored the Bears 13-7 in the fourth quarter for good measure.

North Star also outperformed Box Elder across the board with their final statistics.

The Knights finished with 494 total yards, compared to the Bears’ 335 total yards. Brandon The Boy did pass for 124 yards for Box Elder, and the Bears also totaled 211 rushing yards with Will Ketchum earning 133. But the Knights made up for their 60 passing yards with a whopping 434 yards on the ground. Cooper Spicher rushed for 288 total yards. He scored six touchdowns, while Quinn Spinler had three scores, and Jaxon Simonson added a fumble recovery for a TD.

Following the big win the Knights will next face Geraldine/Highwood on the road on Friday. Box Elder will host Augusta Saturday.

In Northern C 8-Man action, the Chinook Sugarbeeters dominated Cascade in a 65-12 win at home. The lopsided win improved the Beeters to 4-1 on the season as they rolled to a Homecoming victory at Hoon Field.

Zach Molyneaux continues to dominate the opposing defenses, but five different Beeters found pay dirt Friday night.

But Lane Seymour also scored on a 37-yard reception and two five-yard receptions from Ian McIntosh.

Big Sandy 61, Augusta 24

Big Sandy also earned a huge upset win over the weekend, by defeating the Augusta Elks on the road.

The Pioneers improved to 2-2 with a 61-24 win in Northern C Six-Man football action.

Defensively, the Pioneers played well. They did allow four scores, but only one score in each quarter. But with the defense limiting the Elk’s production, Jerry Hanson had plenty of opportunities to run wild.

Hanson scored five touchdowns for the Pioneers. He scored on an 85-yard run, a 16-yard run, a 10-yard run, a 20-yard run and on a five-yard run to help lead Big Sandy. But Josh Solf also had a great outing, as Solf scored on an eight-yard run, six-yard run, 15-yard run, and a five-yard run. Eric Scwarzbach also scored on a safety for the Pioneers, as they racked up 32 points in the second quarter, jumping out to a huge lead and never looking back.

Big Sandy will remain on the road this weekend when they face Valier on Friday.
