By John RittenhouseThe Adrian Dragons secured at least a share of the Little Sioux Conference football championship by routing Murray County Central 50-28 in Slayton Thursday.The Dragons upped their season record to 7-0 with the win, which included an impressive offensive eruption.Adrian scored a season-high 50 points and compiled 439 yards against an MCC defense that stopped the Dragons twice in the game."I said (to the coaching staff) that we needed to score 30 points to win this game," said Dragon coach Randy Strand. "We had the ball nine times in the game, and we scored seven times. Our offense was very effective. I give our offensive line a lot of credit."The win left Adrian with a 6-0 LSC record, and a victory over Dawson-Boyd in the regular-season finale (played Wednesday in Adrian) would lock up the league title outright. The victory also locked up the No. 1 seed for the upcoming Section 3A playoffs.The Dragons opened a 30-8 halftime lead over the Rebels by scoring four of their first five offensive possessions of the game.Adrian received the opening kick and marched 52 yards in seven plays with quarterback Levi Bullerman scoring on a 14-yard touchdown run 2:01 into the game. Billy Anderson carried in the two-point conversion to make it 8-0.MCC showed some spunk by tying the score at eight with its first offensive possession of the contest, but the Rebels were unable to find the end zone the rest of the first half.Josh Roggenbuck capped a 14-play, 65-yard drive with a six-yard touchdown run at the 4:38 mark of the opening quarter.

The run for a two-point conversion failed.Anderson scored his second touchdown of the game at the end of Adrian’s third offensive possession. The senior tailback scored from four yards away to end a 10-play, 43-yard drive with 9:07 remaining in the second quarter. Bullerman tossed a successful conversion pass to Brett Block after Anderson’s tally, making it a 22-8 game.Adrian’s fourth possession ended with a fumble, but the Dragons produced another touchdown the fifth time they controlled the ball.An eight-play, 72-yard drive ended with Bullerman throwing a 33-yard touchdown pass to Block with 1:01 remaining in the second quarter. A Bullerman-to-Brent Tjepkes conversion pass gave the Dragons a 22-point (30-8) halftime cushion.MCC opened the second half with a seven-play, 66-yard drive that was capped by an 18-yard scamper by Rehnelt 3:04 into the third quarter. The run for a conversion failed.Adrian got the six points back when it moved the ball 60 yards in eight plays during the team’s initial possession of the second half.Bullerman, who ran the ball for three touchdowns and 119 yards in the game, ended the march with a one-yard plunge at the 5:21 mark of the third quarter to make a 36-14 game.Both teams scored 14 points in the fourth quarter.Adrian increased its lead to 43-14 when Tony Sauer scored four seconds into the final period from three yards away. Bullerman added the extra point.MCC answered with a 68-yard drive that ended with Tony Salk scoring from four yards out with 10:04 left to play.Adrian’s next possession turned into a seven play, 51-yard drive that was capped by a nine-yard touchdown run by Bullerman, who added the extra point to make it a 50-20 game at the 6:38 mark of the fourth quarter.MCC’s Rehnelt scored on a one-yard run and ended the scoring with a two-point conversion with 1:45 remaining.Team statisticsAdrian: 350 rushing yards, 89 passing yards, 439 total yards, 18 first downs, two penalties for 15 yards, two turnovers.MCC: 325 rushing yards, 17 passing yards, 342 total yards, 17 first downs, four penalties for 30 yards, one turnover.Individual statisticsRushing: Anderson 26-148, Bullerman 15-119, Sauer 10-71, Jory Haken 3-11, David Hoffer 1-1.Passing: Bullerman 8-14 for 89 yards.Receiving: Block 4-69, Sauer 1-3, Anderson 2-7, Tjepkes 1-10.Defense: Sauer 12 tackles, Casey Knips 10 tackles, Block nine tackles and one interception.
