North Star's Payton Peterson runs with the ball during a Class C Six-Man football game between the Knights and the Geraldine-Highwood Rivals last Saturday in Rudyard. The top-ranked Rivals won 53-26.
This past weekend brought us more exciting action on the gridiron along the Hi-Line, highlighted by the battle between defending Class C Six-Man state champion Geraldine-Highwood and 2013 playoff participant North Star in Rudyard last Saturday afternoon.
The Knights fought valiantly against one of the true powerhouses of Six-Man football and despite their best effort, they fell short to the defending champions, 53-26.
Geraldine/Highwood established dominance early and after a pair of rushing touchdowns in the first quarter by Jake Malek, the Rivals built an early 20-0 lead. In the second quarter, North Star got back into it after a touchdown pass from Matthew Helmbrecht to Payton Peterson. Then, a five-yard touchdown pass by Helmbrecht made the score 33-14 at halftime in favor of the Rivals.
Yet, the third quarter belonged to the Knights and after another touchdown pass by Helmbrect, this one to Keevan Borlaug, the Knights trailed just 33-20 heading into the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately, Geraldine/Highwood proved to be too much and outscored North Star 20-6 in the fourth quarter to give the Rivals an impressive 53-26 win on the road.
The Knights, who fell to 2-1 with the loss, were led by Helmbrecht, who had three total touchdowns, two passing and one rushing. Borlaug also had a solid day, catching a touchdown and throwing another.
North Star will be back in action this Saturday when the Knights head to Augusta for another showdown in the North Division of six-man football.

In another key game within the North Division of six-man football, Box Elder traveled to Big Sandy last Friday in a battle of playoff hopefuls. Yet, the Bears took control in the early going and maintained it throughout in a 51-12 victory over the Pioneers.

PDB 33, Chester/J-I 14
In a game with playoff implications in the Northern C Division of 8-man football, Chester/J-I played host to Power-Dutton-Brady Friday night.
The Hawks got off to a positive start when quarterback Brandon Richter scored on a one-yard touchdown to give C/J-I an early 6-0 lead. Yet, PDB answered on a 59-yard touchdown pass from Seth Kitchin to Chase Rossmiller to put the Titans ahead 7-6. After a pair of field goals and another touchdown pass from Kitchin to Rossmiller it was 20-6 at halftime.
But the Hawks refused to go quietly and Richter scored on another touchdown run in the third quarter to trim the deficit to 20-14 entering the final stanza. However, in the fourth quarter, PDB took over and sealed the win after two more touchdown passes from Kitchin putting the Titans ahead 33-14, which ended up being the final score.
The Hawks fell to 2-2 on the season and were led by Richter who had the two rushing touchdowns. All-State running back Justin May was unable to find the end zone for the first time this season.
