AGWSR trounces BCLUW on strength of powerful rushing attack

ACKLEY

Darrick Kyle-Murphy and Clay Bohner ran wild for AGWSR in a 41-0 win over BCLUW on Friday night in Ackley.

The senior running backs combined for 240 yards rushing and a score while quarterback Cody Williams added 56 yards on the ground and two rushing touchdowns. Williams threw the ball just once in the entire game but connected on a 40 yard touchdown pass to Austin Heitland.

BCLUW took several of their drives deep into Cougar territory but were sunk by untimely turnovers and an inability to convert third and fourth downs. After running the ball with great success in the season opener against East Marshall, the Comet offense was unable to establish the same rhythm on Friday night. Clarke Macy led the team with 36 yards on 10 carries, and Tyler Lutes added 19 yards on six attempts.

The scoring began in the first quarter when Williams took off on an option run for a 16-yard Cougar touchdown. BCLUW quarterback Conner Ubben threw a pair of first down passes to Ty Runge and Taylor Sams, respectively, but the AGWSR defense forced a punt near midfield on the ensuing Comet drive. The Cougars led 7-0 after the first quarter.
