Dogs defeat Cats on homecoming

The CCHS Bulldogs improved their record to 2-0 on the season with a win over Plentywood last Friday night at Rowley Field. The game was homecoming for the Bulldogs, and they did not disappoint their hometown fans.

Early in the first quarter, the Bulldogs drove the ball down the field with a consistent run game. The drive was capped on six yard touchdown run by sophomore quarterback Turner Tooke. Tooke fumbled the snap but quickly picked the ball off the turf and scampered into the end zone, scoring on what was a broken play. Senior Mick O'Connor ran in the two-point conversion to give Blue an early 8-0 lead.

After forcing a Wildcat punt, the Dogs again steadily drove the ball down the field, this time scoring on a 17 yard Tooke run. Grafton Bonsell ran in the conversion.

In the second quarter, the Wildcats started to attempt to pass the ball as Carter County's run defense held steady. Defensive ends O'Connor and junior Jared Pardee wreaked havoc for Plentywood quarterback Zachary Freeman. Freeman rarely had time to even attempt a pass. The Bulldogs scored twice more in the second quarter. First on a 7 yard Bonsell run, and then on another Tooke run, this time from one yard out. A Tooke pass to O'Connor and a Shayne Enos run accounted for the conversions.

Partway through the second quarter with a 32-0 lead, coach Kittelmann started playing some of the younger players on the Bulldog squad.

In the third quarter, Enos scored on a two-yard run. The Dogs did not convert the ensuing conversion.

In the final quarter, Enos and fellow junior Ryan Rychner converged on Freeman in the end zone, adding two more points for the Bulldogs with a safety. The safety was the second tallied by the Bulldog defense this season.

With several young Bulldog defenders in the game, the Wildcats were able to score twice in the fourth quarter, first on a 26 yard pass and later on a 7 yard pass. After their first score, a broken pass play resulted in a successful quarterback scramble for a two-point conversion.

The game ended with a final score of 40-14, much to the delight of Bulldog fans.

This Friday the Bulldogs will be tested by conference opponent Culbertson at home. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Culbertson is 1-1 thus far this season.
