Camden Arndt wasted no time asserting himself again. Arndt broke loose on a 70-yard run on the game's very first play Friday. The orange and black looked robust indeed. Arndt showed the same form that produced monster stats in the ACGC game. The opponent on Friday, Sept. 22, was Benson on the road. I always enjoyed watching games at the Benson stadium.
We won on Friday by a 35-16 score. We were up 29-7 at halftime. "Monster" again describes Arndt's numbers. He carried the football 14 times for 239 yards.
Eli Grove kicked the point-after following Arndt's game-opening score. Benson actually took a temporary lead on a TD and two-point conversion: Aaron Zosel scored the TD on a run from the four, and Hunter Gonnerman passed to Sam Lundebrek for two. Benson's lead faded steadily as MACA scored the next four touchdowns.
Arndt sprinted toward the end zone and scored from 48 yards away. Connor Koebernick carried successfully on the conversion. The Tigers' seldom-used passing game asserted itself on a five-yard scoring toss that had Koebernick passing and Nathan Grunklee catching. Grove kicked the point-after. Koebernick delivered another touchdown throw: a ten-yard hookup with Mace Yellow. The PAT try was no-go. Nathan Beyer scored on a three-yard touchdown run, and Grove kicked the PAT. Zosel of Benson scored the night's final TD on a one-yard run. Zosel also carried successfully on the conversion.
Morris Area Chokio Alberta evened its record at 2-2 with Friday's success. Benson dropped to 0-4.
Yes we generally have a conservative passing game. Koebernick didn't throw a lot but he completed all five of his pass attempts. His yardage was 70 and two of his passes were TDs. He had no interceptions. Arndt was followed on the MACA rushing list by Nathan Beyer who had nine carries for 55 yards. Koebernick charged forward for 16 yards on three carries, and Joel Ruiz had 30 yards on two. The team numbers were 354 yards on 34 carries.
Alex Daugherty caught two passes for 30 yards. These three Tigers each had one catch: Mace Yellow (ten yards), Nathan Grunklee (five yards) and Jarret Johnson (25 yards). Daugherty picked off a pass. Joseph Kleinwolterink had a quarterback sack.
Aaron Zosel of Benson had 77 rushing yards on 23 carries. He was complemented in the running game by Mason Abner (36 yards on ten carries), Will Enderson (22 yards on five carries) and Hunter Gonnerman (six yards, two carries). Gonnerman completed his only passing attempt for seven yards. The main thrower was Enderson who had 7-for-15 stats, 67 yards and one interception. The Benson pass-catchers were Zosel (three catches, 39 yards), Matt Tolifson (three catches, 16 yards) and Sam Lundebrek (2-19). Lunderbrek alertly pounced on two fumbles. Benson standouts on the defensive side of the ball were Abner (two solo tackles, six assists), Matt Connolly (4-4), Zosel (1-5), Jacob Wolter (2-4), Devin Vergin (2-3) and Alden Syltie (1-4).
