Week 1
BOARDMAN – There
would not be a comeback victory like last season for the Bengals in this game. This year, Boardman left no doubt with a
strong 35-6 win over the Bengals.
Last season at
Bedford Stadium, Benedictine trailed 21-3 early in the second quarter, but
rallied to hold on to a 31-30 victory over the Spartans.
This year, Boardman
scored twice in the first quarter on a pair of touchdowns by Turel Thompson.
Benedictine
marched back on an eight-play, 67-yard drive that ended with senior Marshall
Howell scoring from the one. He had the key play in the drive with a 56-yard
run on the first play which took the ball to the 11.
The extra point
kick was missed and the Bengals trailed 14-6 with 8:19 left in the first half.
The Spartans
increased their lead to 21-6 when they went 56 yard in just three plays with
Darius Sanders scoring from 17 yards.
In the second
half, Boardman scored one time in the third quarter and the fourth quarter.
Brock Hull, who
led the Spartans with seven catches for 65 yards, caught a 19-yard scoring pass
from John Babos late in the third. Babos was near perfect for Boardman
completing 10 of 12 passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns.
Boardman got the
final score on a 13-yard run by Darius Sanders, his second touchdown of the
game.
Marshall Howell
led the Bengals with 86 yards rushing on 17 carries. Jerome Baker added 48
yards in six carries.
Overall, Boardman
outgained the Bengals 378-139.
