By John RittenhouseThe Adrian Dragons took over the top spot in the Little Sioux Conference football standings Friday night.Adrian helped its own cause in that respect by notching a 12-6 win in Fulda during a clash between teams that brought 2-0 league records into the game.When Russell-Tyler-Ruthton defeated Dawson-Boyd, a team that also sported a 2-0 record in league play entering Friday’s games, Adrian found itself at the top of the standings with a 3-0 record on Saturday morning.Although Dragon coach Randy Strand likes where his team is sitting in the LSC, he wasn’t pleased with the way AHS performed in Fulda."It was a battle," he said. "We didn’t play extremely well. I thought the Fulda kids stepped up and played hard and well."All 18 points scored in the game came in the first quarter, and Adrian’s two touchdowns came on fourth-down plays.The Dragons got off to a good start when they turned their opening possession of the game into a 6-0 lead.Senior quarterback Levi Bullerman hit Brent Tjepkes for a 43-yard pass reception on the first play of what turned into a 10-play, 83-yard drive.The march ended with Bullerman tossing a 23-yard touchdown pass to running back Billy Anderson, who scored all 12 of Adrian’s points in the game. The ensuing extra-point attempt failed, leaving the Dragons with a 6-0 cushion at the 7:30 mark of the opening period.Adrian doubled its lead (12-0) after forcing the Raiders to punt four plays into their first offensive possession of the game.The AHS offense advanced the ball 53 yards in 10 plays with Anderson capping the drive with a two-yard touchdown plunge at the 2:23 mark of the opening period. A fumbled snap led to a failed two-point conversion attempt after Anderson’s touchdown run.Fulda got back into the game by scoring six points with its second offensive possession, but the Raiders were unable to reach the end zone the rest of the game.The Raiders mounted a six-play, 55-yard scoring drive late in the first quarter.Raider quarterback Easton Laackmann threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Jon Isder to cap the march with eight seconds remaining in the opening period. The run for a two-point conversion failed.According to Strand, Fulda never threatened to score after the first quarter.The Dragons were in position to add to their lead as the game progressed, but mistakes thwarted the threats."We had the ball inside their 20-yard line three more times, but all three drives ended up stalling because of penalties. We had a 21-play drive in the third quarter that didn’t result in any points," Strand said.The 4-0 Dragons will hit the road again Friday when they travel to Canby to face the 0-4 Lancers.Team statisticsAdrian: 198 rushing yards, 180 passing yards, 378 total yards, 16 first downs, four penalties for four yards, one turnover.Fulda: 104 rushing yards, 74 passing yards, 178 total yards, seven first downs, five penalties for 55 yards, two turnovers.Individual statisticsRushing: Anderson 23-68, Bullerman 13-67, Tony Sauer 12-51, Clint Metz 2-12.Passing: Bullerman 8-17 for 180 yards.Receiving: Brett Block 3-70, Tjepkes 1-43, Anderson 3-44, Cody Reverts 1-23.Defense: Metz 13 tackles, Sauer 10 tackles and one sack, Casey Knips nine tackles and one sack, Block one interception, Anderson one interception.
