The Chinook Sugarbeeter football team has played very well at times this season but unfortunately have been unable to pick up that elusive first win. The 'Beeters were looking for a different result during their homecoming contest against the Cascade Badgers. The 'Beeters started fast and achieved their goal in resounding fashion. Chinook picked up its first win of the season with a lop sided 56-6 win that started with a 30 point outburst in the first quarter and concluded with a school record-tying 79-yard run late in the fourth.
Chinook wasted little time in exerting their dominance over the visiting Badgers by forcing a three-and-out on the first possession of the game.
The Sugarbeeters began their first drive with a short pass completion from junior quarterback Benton to senior halfback Sam Dumas. Following a four yard gain on second down, Elliott dropped back and found senior JT Hauer over the middle. Elliot delivered a strike and Hauer then outran the Badger defense 34 yards to paydirt. Elliot would then find sophomore Toby Niederegger in the end zone for the two-point conversion and a quick 8-0 Sugarbeeter lead with 8:39 left in the opening stanza.
Chinook would recover the ensuing kickoff and put their offense right back out on the field. Elliott found Niederegger on the first play from scrimmage for a five yard game and then took snap himself, skirting the left edge for a 32 yard scamper that put the 'Beeters deep in Badger territory. After a couple of short runs Elliott dropped back, looked to his left and found Niederegger in the end zone for an 18-yard scoring strike. Elliott and Niederegger would hook up again for the two-point conversion and Chinook suddenly held a 16-0 lead midway through the opening quarter.
The 'Beeters defense forced another three-and-out on the next Cascade Badger possession. The 'Beeters started the ensuing drive with a nice pass from Elliot over to middle to tight end Reese Elliott for an 18-yard gain. Dumas then took the pitch from Elliot looked to his left and used a pair of outstanding edge blocks from Reese to give him the corner. Dumas tight roped the sideline to the 16 yard line where he delivered a devastating stiffarm to the would be Badger tackler. Dumas maintained his balance, stayed in bounds and found the end zone completing an impressive 42 yard scoring run. The two-point conversion was no good and Chinook now led 22-0 with 3:22 left in the first quarter.
Chinook's defense was impossible for the Badgers to get anything going against and the 'Beeters forced Cascade into yet another three-and-out giving Chinook back the ball late in the first quarter. Dumas picked up six yards on first down and then Elliot dropped back and found Niederegger on a short screen, from there it was all Niederegger.
Niederegger met the Badger defender near the sideline where the two squared off. Niederegger then delivered a massive stiff arm that put the 6' 2" 180 lb defender square on his back, he then raced 65 yards down the sideline to the end zone for another 'Beeter touchdown. Benton Elliott found the end zone on a nice run for the two-point conversion and Chinook closed out the first quarter with a 30-0 advantage.
The 'Beeters were unable to muster any offense in the second quarter and the Badgers caught the 'Beeter defense off guard for a long scoring strike for Cascades only touchdown of the contest. The teams headed into the halftime locker room with Chinook up 30-8.
Following the intermission the 'Beeters again found the momentum they had throughout the first quarter and wasted little time putting points on the board. Niederegger took another screen pass from Elliot and turned it into a 72-yard touchdown that extended the 'Beeter advantage to 36-8 at the 8:57 mark of the third quarter.
Dumas added another touchdown for the 'Beeters on 21-yard scoring run with 4:23 left in the third. The senior then capped his fine effort on the ground with a 44-yard scamper with 11:00 minutes left in the contest to give the 'Beeters a 48-8 advantage.
Chinook wasn't done scoring yet. After an amazing punt from the Badgers pinned the 'Beeters back as far as possible with the ball nearly touching the goal line, freshman Tyler Schoen and the 'Beeter offense took the field. Schoen broke through the line, made a nice stiff arm and then raced a school record-tying 79 yards to the end zone for the 'Beeters final touchdown of the night score. Schoen added the two-point conversion for the final points of the contest and a 56-8 Chinook victory.
The 'Beeters were impressive in the win. Benton Elliott connected on 14-23 for 254 yards and four touchdowns. Niederegger hauled in five balls 163 yards and three scores. Dumas carried the ball 19 times for 132 yards and three touchdowns.
The 'Beeters will look to keep the momentum going this weekend when they head west to Shelby to take on the Coyotes in a Northern C contest.
