A Game
BV Lynx 48, Axtell Park Lions 0
(Brandon, SD)--The Brandon Valley Lynx opened the season with a stellar performance Thursday night at the Brandon Valley Middle School field. The Lynx started strong and went on to crush the Axtell Park Lions 48-0. The game only lasted two quarters based on the Sioux Falls league mercy rule in which the game is called when there is a 35 point lead. Despite the shortened game, the coaching staff had a chance to see how their team would perform in a game situation. "You never really know how they are going to come out and play in that first game of the season," said Coach Klumper, "but the kids came out ready to play and did a nice job." The scoring bonanza started on the first drive of the game for the Lynx as they marched down the field in two plays, ending with a Cam Holmes touchdown run. The second drive was almost a mirror image of the first, as the Lynx used their massive offensive line to bull rush the defenders out of the way, clearing the path for the lightning quick Cam Holmes. "Our offense line played great tonight," said Klumper, "they absolutely dominated the line of scrimmage." Holmes pumped in another touchdown giving him three touchdowns for the game. Also adding to the rushing attack was Jacob Adams, who made his only carry of the game a memorable one, scampering 64 yards for a touchdown. "Adams showed great effort on that run," said Klumper, "the hole was blocked, so he cut back, gave about 4 stiff-arms, and ran past everyone else." Klumper also pointed out that Trey Lee blocked about seven guys alone on that touchdown run. Ryan Immeker, playing receiver, also had a couple blocks that allowed the tailback to gain huge amounts of yards. Due to the huge success of the running attack, the passing game had a hard time launching. AJ Garrow played a solid game at QB, going 3-4 with two touchdown passes. "Garrow did a nice job making the throws he was asked to make," said Klumper. On the receiving end of those touchdown passes were Dominic Nealy and Devan West. Nealy made the catch two yards down field and six juke moves later, was in the end zone. After West made his catch, he used his blinding speed to out-run the defense to the endzone. The endzone was not the only place West was scoring, though, as he 6 for 6 on PAT'S. On the defensive side of the ball, the Lynx used a swarming, ball-hawking style to totally overwhelm Axtell. Play after play, the Lynx defenders penetrated into the backfield of the Lions, making their offense totally ineffective. "I thought we played a solid defensive game," commented Defensive Coordinate Jeff Trout, "the kids played hard and were just flying all over the field." Cole Albertson intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown, however, due to a penalty, the touchdown did not count.
"I was happy with our effort tonight," said Klumper, "but we have to put this win behind us and focus on our next opponent, the Brookings Bobcats."
Next Game: Monday, Sept. 21st at BVMS.
B Game:
BV Lynx: 33, Axtell Park Lions: 0
(Brandon, SD)--The B team of Brandon Valley ended the night with another solid, dominating performance. The game started out a bit slow, with each team trying to figure out what the other was doing. However, soon the offensive kicked into high gear and the defense solidified, defeating the Axtell Park Lions, 33-0. The offense was lead by the rushing attack of the Antony Pacheco, Alex Pacheco, and Andy Bowden. Those three running backs combined for 234 yards of rushing in the game and one touchdown. Noah Klamm ran hard at fullback, reaching the endzone for a two-point conversion. The air attacked played equally well. Luke Laycock tossed 3 touchdown passes, connecting with Jon Heiberger twice and Luke Bauske once. "I was really proud of the offense tonight," said Klumper, "they were focused and did a great job of executing the game plan." The defense dug in and made things extremely difficult for Axtell Park. After a few successful out routes, BV made a couple adjustments and really clamped down on the receivers. "The kids played with a very high level of intensity tonight," commented Coach Reese, "they did a nice job sprinting to the ball and making plays."
Just like the A game, the BV offensive and defensive lines were in complete control of the action. The offensive lineman opened huge holes all game and the defensive lineman continued to push their way into the backfield. The highlight of the night did not come until the last play of the game. With Axtell Park threatening to break the shut out, Holden Sjogren stepped in front of the receiver and intercepted the pass with a shoe-string catch. Sjogren then raced 95 yards for a touchdown. "That play was just awesome, the crowd was going wild," said Klumper, "I was really proud of Holden."
Next Game: Monday, Sept. 21st against Brookings at BVMS.
