Chinook's Toby Niederegger goes up for a catch against Cascade Saturday in Chinook. The Chinook 8-man football team defeated Cascade, 44-13, to move to 7-1 on the season.
The Fort Benton Longhorns suffered their only loss when they went on the road to face Simms last week. This past Saturday, the Longhorns got a shot at revenge when they hosted the Tigers in Fort Benton and this time the teams were playing for the No. 1 seed from the Northern C in the postseason.
With the chance at the top seed and revenge, the Longhorns pulled through for the 35-25 victory.
The Longhorns struck first in the first quarter with a 20-yard touchdown run from Colter Ball for a 6-0 lead. However, the Fort Benton offense then went cold as the Tigers scored 17 unanswered points. As they trailed 17-6 halfway through the third quarter, the Longhorns got their offense back in a groove. Over the final two quarters, Cade Ball threw two touchdown passes to Andrew Ballantyne and Cody Evans to take the lead. Simms attempted a comeback but it was too late as Fort Benton secured its revenge.
With the win, Fort Benton earned the Northern No. 1 seed in the playoffs. The 8-man playoffs will begin Oct. 29.
