BHS, Triopia, PORTA/A-C lose big

It was a week that is best quickly forgotten for area football fans as the three Cass County teams were beaten by a combined score of 156 to 6.  Beardstown traveled to Camp Point and were held to zero yards of offense in a 60 to 0 shellacking.  Central meanwhile racked up 343 yards of total offense.  It was 26 to 0 after one quarter and 46 to 0 at the half with Panther coach Brad Dixon taking a knee to end the half rather than run up the score.  Both teams played their JV squads almost exclusively in the second half with things not getting much better for the Tigers other than the swift ending due to the running clock.  The lone bright spot for BHS was the play of freshman Shadrach Mahfina who played good minutes in both halves and led the Tigers with seven solo tackles and six assists to serve notice that he will be a good varsity player sooner rather than later.  Beardstown, now 1-2 on the season, will look to get back on track at home this Friday night against 2-1 Routt Catholic.  The Rockets lost to Hardin Calhoun to open the season then beat North Greene and Triopia.

PORTA/A-C Central Golf

The PORTA-AC Central Boys Golf Team headed west last Tuesday to Scripps Park Golf Course in Rushville for a meet with the host Rockets, the Virginia-Triopia Redbirds and the Havana Ducks. The host Rockets took the win with a team score of 159, led by medalist Reed Fretueg who shot a nifty 1 under 34. The Bluejays followed in 2nd place with a team score of 167. Leading the Jays was Brady Kinney and Griffin McClure who both carded 41 playing the front nine. They were followed by Trace Donnan with 42 and Brody Landon at 43. The JV Jays also played that afternoon and posted some very impressive early season scores. They were led by Kolin Johnson with a 52 and Landon Johnson with a 54. Nash Donnan fired a 55 and Drew Carter rounded out the scoring with a 64. Coach Neil Gurnsey had the following comments after the round. “Hats off to Rushville. They are a good team and Coach Wise is doing a great job with that program. They will make some noise in the postseason. We played well and had a couple guys step up for us today. That is something we will need on a regular basis as the season goes on. I was also very pleased with the scores from our JV team this afternoon. Those guys will be counted on a lot next year and are improving each and every day.” The team currently holds a record of 5 wins and 1 loss.
