By John RittenhouseThe Hills-Beaver Creek-Ellsworth Patriots bowed out of the Section 2 Nine-Man Football Playoffs Tuesday night in Brewster.Taking on third-seeded Southwest United in the quarterfinal-round of the event, No. 6 H-BC-E surrendered 18 first-half points and couldn’t recover in the second half of a game that ended with the Wildcats posting a 24-6 victory.SWU advances to the semifinal round of the playoffs on Saturday. The Wildcats will play Edgerton in Edgerton. The Flying Dutchmen upended Granada-Huntley-East Chain-Martin Luther 58-6 Tuesday.H-BC-E’s 3-6 season comes to an end."It was a game in which missed opportunities, and inopportune penalties hurt us," said Patriot coach Dan Ellingson. "We had three first downs called back because of penalties, and we fumbled inside their 10-yard line once. We had some chances. We just couldn’t stick the ball into the end zone."The Patriots didn’t help their cause by allowing SWU to open an 18-0 halftime advantage.The Wildcats scored one touchdown late in the first quarter before adding two more six-pointers in the second period to gain a healthy lead.SSU’s third offensive possession of the game turned into a drive that ended with Dustin Leopold scoring on a 13-yard run with seven seconds left in the first quarter. A failed conversion pass kept the score at 6-0.The Wildcats doubled their lead (12-0) with their second possession of the second quarter.SWU quarterback Jared Smith capped a drive with a one-yard plunge. The pass for a conversion failed.Smith made a big play later in the second quarter when he tossed a 42-yard completion to Bryan Scheevel that moved the ball to the H-BC-E two-yard line late in the first half. Mike Schmitz scored on a two-yard run two plays later to make it an 18-0 game.H-BC-E made a defensive adjustment at halftime that helped it play SWU to a draw at six in the second half."We went from a three-man line to a 4-4 defense in the second half, and we played really well," Ellingson said. "We made them punt three times and held them on fourth down three times in the second half."The Patriot offense also put together its most impressive drive of the game in the second half.H-BC-E received the kick to start the third quarter and moved the ball to the SWU two, where senior fullback Tom LeBoutillier capped the march with a two-yard plunge. A run for the two-point conversion failed, keeping the score at 18-6.The Patriots threatened to score again the next time they controlled the ball, but the opportunity slipped away when a fumble was lost on the SWU seven-yard line.SWU capped the scoring with 5:00 left in the fourth quarter.Leopold scored on a 26-yard scamper for the Wildcats, but H-BC-E’s Chris Nuffer blocked the ensuing extra-point attempt.Individual statisticsRushing: Zach Wysong 8-36, LeBoutillier 9-69, Cody Schilling 10-46.Passing: Schilling 9-26 for 138 yards. LeBoutillier 1-2 for minus two yards.Receiving: Cody Rozeboom 4-87, Wysong 4-41, Greg Van Batavia 2-0.Defense: Cody Scholten 17 tackles and one fumble recovery, LeBoutillier seven tackles and one sack, Tanner Scholten five tackles and one fumble recovery, Brian Gacke nine tackles and one sack.

By John RittenhouseThe Hills-Beaver Creek-Ellsworth football team lost its third consecutive game to end the regular season in Westbrook Wednesday, Oct. 20.Playing Westbrook-Walnut Grove in a game that would determine which team would draw the fifth seed for the Section 2 Nine-Man Playoffs, the Patriots fell behind early and couldn’t recover during what ended as a 26-12 setback.The loss capped H-BC-E’s 3-5 regular season, and it left the Patriots with the sixth seed for the section tournament.H-BC-E opened the playoffs in Brewster Tuesday, where it took on No. 3 Southwest United in a quarterfinal-round game. Look for a game story on the contest elsewhere in the sports section.A combination of mistakes and turnovers set the stage for H-BC-E’s 14-point loss in Westbrook Oct. 20.Two fumbles stalled H-BC-E drives deep inside W-WG territory during the contest. Another drive was derailed when a penalty led to a failed fourth-down conversion."It was the little things that hurt us," said H-BC-E coach Dan Ellingson. "We had some changes to take the lead, then we hurt ourselves with mistakes."W-WG returned the game’s opening kickoff to the H-BC-E 29-yard line. The Chargers took advantage of their great field position to gain a 7-0 cushion when Dominic Madson scored on a seven-yard run and Victor Vondracek added the extra point two minutes into the game.The Patriots pushed the ball deep into W-WG territory before their first offensive possession came to an end with a fumble on the five-yard line.The Chargers converted the turnover into a 13-0 lead with a 95-yard drive that was capped by a one-yard plunge by Madson one minute into the second quarter. W-WG’s pass for a two-point conversion failed.H-BC-E trimmed W-WG’s lead to seven points (13-6) with its second offensive possession.An extended drive ended with senior tailback Zach Wysong, who carried the ball 23 times for 132 yards in the game, scoring on a 23-yard touchdown jaunt. H-BC-E’s extra-point attempt sailed wide-left of the uprights.The score remained 13-6 until the third quarter, when the Patriots closed the gap to one point.H-BC-E received the kick to start the second half and moved the ball to the W-WG 11, where Wysong completed the drive with an 11-yard scamper.The ensuing extra-point attempt sailed wide-left, keeping the Chargers in front by a 13-12 margin.H-BC-E received an opportunity to gain its first lead of the game when W-WG fumbled the kick following Wysong’s second touchdown and Patriot Jon Klaassen recovered the loose ball on the Charger 35.The H-BC-E offense moved the ball inside the W-WG 10 before a fourth-and-five pass attempt fell incomplete in the end zone.W-WG put the game away by scoring a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.Jake Wahl scored on a five-yard run early in the final stanza, and Vondracek added the extra point to make it a 20-12 game.Wahl scored the final points of the game with a 45-yard run with three minutes remaining.Ellingson said H-BC-E’s chances of a fourth-quarter comeback were lessened when Wysong went down with an injury. Wysong, who returned to the field Oct. 15 after missing four games with broken bones in his foot, re-injured his foot late in the third quarter and missed the final stanza. Ellingson isn’t sure if the senior running back will return to the field this season.Team statisticsH-BC-E: 228 rushing yards, 94 passing yards, 322 total yards, 16 first downs, four penalties for 30 yards, two turnovers.W-WG 220 rushing yards, 14 passing yards, 234 total yards, 12 first downs, seven penalties for 40 yards, one turnover.Individual statisticsRushing: Wysong 23-132, Tom LeBoutillier 12-65, Kerry Fink 4-15, Travis Broesder 3-16.Passing: Cody Schilling 12-19 for 94 yards.Receiving: Broesder 4-39, Greg Van Batavia 4-25, Chris Nuffer 3-23, LeBoutillier 1-7.Defense: Schilling 12 tackles, LeBoutillier eight tackles, Brian Gacke 10 tackles, Klaassen one fumble recovery.

By John RittenhouseThe Luverne football team completed a second-place finish in Southwest Conference play by nipping Windom 24-20 in Luverne Wednesday, Oct. 20.The game featured two teams with 3-2 league records heading into the contest, and Luverne rallied from an 11-point deficit by scoring two touchdowns in the final four minutes of the game to prevail by four points.Luverne, which ended the regular season with a 6-2 record, finished second to Redwood Valley (5-1) in the conference with a 4-2 mark.The win helped the Cardinals draw the third seed for the Section 3AAA Playoffs. Luverne entertained No. 6 Minnewaska Area in the tournament’s quarterfinal round. Look for the game story on the LHS-MA clash on the front page of the sports section.It looked liked the Cardinals might end the regular season with a loss when Windom scored 12 points in the first 5:43 of the fourth quarter to open a 20-9 lead.Luverne, however, responded to the challenge by scoring 15 points in a span of 1:08 to escape with a victory.The Cardinals sported a 9-8 edge at halftime, and the score remained the same until Windom’s third possession of the second half turned into an eight-play, 67-yard touchdown drive.Trenton Anderson ended the drive with a two-yard touchdown plunge 14 seconds into the fourth quarter. A failed run for a two-point conversion left the Eagles sporting a 14-9 advantage.The situation grew worse for Luverne when a fumble on the first play of its next offensive possession was recovered by Windom’s Josh Vizecky on the Cardinals’ 46-yard line.Windom used nine plays to cover 46 yards and led 20-9 when Anderson scored his third touchdown of the game, a five-yard run, with 6:17 left to play in the fourth quarter.With junior quarterback Nick Heronimus completing four of six passes for 31 yards to lead the way, Luverne put together a 10-play, 60-yard drive that ended with Heronimus throwing a four-yard touchdown pass to Jared Pick at the 3:45 mark of the final period. A Heronimus-to-Brad- Herman conversion pass trimmed Windom’s lead to three points at 20-17.The Luverne defense used the team’s timeouts while limiting Windom to nine yards with three running plays during the Eagles’ next possession.Facing a fourth-and-one situation on the Windom 46, the Eagles made what proved to be a poor decision. Instead of punting the ball, Windom tried to pick up the first down with a running play. Luverne’s Pick made the Eagles pay for the decision when he tackled their running back short of a first down.The LHS offense took the field with 2:37 remaining, and scored 19 seconds later. A three-play, 46-yard possession ended when Heronimus threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Pick with 2:18 left to play. Heronimus added the extra point to give the Cards a 24-20 lead.Windom showed signs of coming back when it picked up a pair of first downs while advancing the ball 16 yards, but Heronimus intercepted a pass on the seventh play of the possession, giving the Cards the ball on their own 42 with 1:11 left to play.When LHS running back Scott Goebel turned a third-and-six situation into a first down with a 14-yard run, the Cardinals were able to run the remaining time off the game clock.Both teams sported leads in the game’s first half.Luverne received the opening kick and was setting up to punt the ball on the seventh play of game, but a poor snap led to the Cardinal punter being sacked.Windom took over on the LHS 43-yard line and moved in front 8-0 when Anderson scored on a 25-yard run and Travis Karschnik carried in the two-point conversion at the 5:35 mark of the first quarter.Luverne’s second possession of the game ended with an interception on Windom’s 11-yard line.The Windom offense proceeded to lose five yards with a first-down run, and five more with a penalty. With the ball on Windom’s one-yard line, Luverne defender Tony Willers opened the scoring for the Cardinals when he stopped an Eagles running back for a safety with 38 seconds left in the first quarter.Pick returned the ensuing free-kick 36 yards to the Windom 24, and Luverne’s Ben Nath scored five plays later on a one-yard run. Heronimus booted the extra-point to give the Cards a 9-8 lead with 10:40 left in the second quarter.Team statisticsLuverne: 153 rushing yards, 130 passing yards, 283 total yards, 19 first downs, two penalties, two turnovers.Windom: 203 rushing yards, 60 passing yards, 263 total yards, 11 first downs, four penalties, two turnovers.Individual statisticsRushing: Nath 20-75, Heronimus 7-32, Jake Hendricks 7-11, Derek Elbers 2-6, Herman 1-9, Goebel 2-20.Passing: Heronimus 12-23 for 130 yards, Herman 0-1 for zero yards.Receiving: Herman 4-37, Goebel 1-4, Pick 5-73, Mike Kunstle 2-16.Defense: Heronimus one interception, Pick one interception.

By John RittenhouseThe Adrian Dragons passed their first test of the Section 3A Football Playoffs Tuesday night in Adrian.Taking on No. 8 Canby in a quarterfinal-round clash, the top-seeded Dragons scored 33 first-half points and rolled to a 39-8 victory over the Lancers.The win allows the 9-0 Dragons to host another playoff game at 3 p.m. Saturday. Adrian plays fourth-seeded Fulda, which beat No. 5 Minneota 36-20 Tuesday in the semifinals.Adrian had little trouble in disposing of the Lancers by 31 points in the playoff opener.Senior quarterback Levi Bullerman threw for three touchdown passes and ran for another, and tailback Billy Anderson ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns to highlight the victory.With the offensive line leading the way, Adrian scored on five consecutive possessions in the first half to pave the way to a convincing win."We executed well," said Dragon coach Randy Strand. "Our line gave us some time to pass, it opened some holes and the kids ran hard. Any time you score on five straight possessions is pretty good production."The Dragons lost a fumble during its first offensive possession before scoring touchdowns the next five times they controlled the ball.Adrian’s second possession of the game turned into an eight-play, 51-yard drive that ended with Bullerman scoring on a five-yard run at the 8:01 mark of the first quarter. Bullerman added the extra point to make it a 7-0 game.The Dragons marched 63 yards in six plays during its third possession. The drive ended with Bullerman tossing a 40-yard touchdown pass to Brett Block with 2:08 left in the opening period to make the difference 13-0.Adrian mounted a six-play, 90-yard drive early in the second quarter, with Bullerman throwing a 33-yard touchdown strike to Cody Reverts at the 8:22 mark of the stanza. A failed conversion pass left the Dragons sporting a 19-0 lead.Anderson capped Adrian’s fourth consecutive scoring drive with a 10-yard run with 2:56 remaining in the second quarter. After the eight-play, 52-yard drive, Bullerman added the extra point to make it a 26-0 game.Adrian got the ball back moments later and drove 69 yards with Bullerman throwing a five-yard touchdown pass to Tony Sauer with 14 seconds left in the first half. Another extra point by Bullerman made it a 33-point difference.Adrian’s streak of scoring touchdowns with consecutive possessions ended during their first offensive series in the second half, but the Dragons found the end zone again with their second possession of the third quarter.Anderson picked up all 41 yards of a two-play possession that ended with him dashing 35 yards for a score to make it a 39-0 game.Canby capped the scoring at the 5:42 mark of the third quarter, when Josh Snortum scored on a 78-yard run before carrying in the two-point conversion.Team statisticsAdrian: 300 rushing yards, 132 passing yards, 432 total yards, 19 first downs, seven penalties for 55 yards, three turnovers.Canby: 130 rushing yards, 47 passing yards, 177 total yards, eight first downs, eight penalties for 55 yards, two turnovers.Individual statisticsRushing: Anderson 23-110, Bullerman 5-28, Jory Haken 2-29, Sauer 6-68, Brandon Diekmann 7-44, Glen Kruger 1-7, Reid Strand 1-1, Tyler Vaske 1-3.Passing: Bullerman 5-10 for 132 yards.Receiving: Block 2-76, Sauer 1-5, Anderson 1-10, Cody Reverts 2-41.Defense: Clint Metz eight tackles, Sauer eight tackles and one interception, Will Lutmer 11 tackles, Block one interception.

By John RittenhouseAnother second-half rally by the Luverne football team propelled the Cardinals into the semifinal round of the Section 3AAA Playoffs Tuesday in Luverne.Trailing 10-0 with less than 5:00 remaining in the third quarter, the third-seeded Cardinals scored 13 unanswered points in a span of 7:50 to pull out a 13-10 victory over No. 2 Minnewaska Area.The victory, which raises Luverne’s record to 7-2, sends the Cardinals to Fairmont Saturday for a 3 p.m. clash in the section semifinals. Fairmont, which nipped Marshall 17-14 Tuesday, is the section’s second-seeded team.Tuesday’s comeback against the Lakers proved to be nearly as dramatic as the final regular season game against Windom Oct. 20.The Cards fell behind the Eagles 20-9 in fourth quarter before putting together a pair of scoring drives in the final 6:00 of the game to earn a 24-20 win.MA took advantage of some sluggish plays by LHS to open a 10-0 cushion during the playoff opener. Luverne, however, scored a touchdown late in the third quarter and found the end zone again with 7:44 remaining in the fourth quarter to gain a three-point advantage it would never relinquish.The Luverne defense, which has played a big part in the team’s success, came up with a number of key plays to spur the Cardinals to victory.A three-and-out series by the LHS offense led to a punt that gave MA the ball on its own 18-yard line eight minutes into the third period.A fumble on the first play of MA’s possession ended up in the hands of Luverne defender Brad Herman, giving the Cardinals the ball on the Lakers’ 24.Four plays later, Luverne quarterback Nick Heronimus delivered a four-yard touchdown pass to Mike Kunstle to make it a 10-6 game with 3:34 remaining in the third quarter. Luverne’s extra-point attempt failed.The Lakers picked up a pair of first downs during their next offensive possession before the Cardinal defense forced MA to punt. The snap from center sailed over the punter’s head, who ran down the bouncing ball but was tackled immediately by Luverne’s Derek Elbers.The LHS offense took over on the MA 29, but its first three plays yielded limited success. Facing a fourth-and-seven situation on the 26, Luverne receiver Herman split the Lakers’ secondary and hauled in a 26-yard touchdown pass from Heronimus with 7:44 left to play in the fourth quarter. Heronimus booted the extra point to give the Cards a 13-10 lead.MA possessed the ball three more times in the game, but the Lakers couldn’t produce any points against Luverne’s stingy defense.The Lakers moved the ball to the Luverne 30 with less than five minutes remaining, but a run during a fourth-and-six situation ended one-yard short of a first down.Four straight incomplete passes by the Lakers ended a possession on their own 49-yard line with 2:19 remaining. MA got the ball back with 1:11 left to play and advanced it to the Luverne 30, but senior defensive lineman Jose Saravia recorded a key sack by himself before sharing a sack with linebacker Nate Siebenahler on the final play of the game.Niether team could produce any points in the game’s first quarter, but the Lakers drew first blood in the game late in the second period.After a long punt return into LHS territory, MA moved the ball 18 yards in four plays to the nine. Facing a fourth-and-six situation, the Lakers called on kicker Cody Pahan, who delivered a 25-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.The Lakers increased their lead to 10-0 with their second offensive possession of the second half.MA’s Scott Gullickson picked off a Luverne pass and returned it to the Cardinals’ six-yard line at the 5:04 mark of the third quarter. Lakers’ running back Alex Brainarn scampered six yards for a touchdown on the first play of the ensuing possession, and Pahan added the extra point for a 10-point advantage.Team statisticsLuverne: 80 rushing yards, 89 passing yards, 169 total yards, five first downs, two penalties, one turnover.MA: 158 rushing yards, 107 passing yards, 265 total yards, 14 first downs, five penalties, one turnover.Individual statisticsRushing: Ben Nath 12-28, Jake Hendricks 7-20, Scott Goebel 3-minus 7, Elbers 5-14, Heronimus 1-8, Herman 1-17.Passing: Heronimus 9-18 for 89 yards.Receiving: Herman 3-71, Jared Pick 3-19, Hendricks 1-minus 8, Mike Kunstle 1-3, Elbers 1-4.Defense: Herman one fumble recovery, Saravia three sacks, Tony Willers one sack, Siebenahler one sack.
