Football: BOLD 32, Tigers 13
The MACA gridders lined up vs. BOLD on an absolutely miserable night for our Homecoming 2014. Hoo boy! Yours truly didn't even make his usual jaunt over to the field just before halftime to check things out. As "Yukon Cornelius" from "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" would say: "The weather isn't fit for man or beast!"
Miserable it was, but one of the teams was going to be happy at the final horn. Our MACA gridders had reason to be downcast. Our gridders had been playing some mighty fine, high-scoring football in the games leading up to this. They failed to parlay that success into Homecoming night. The very hardy fans saw BOLD dominance on the gridiron.
The BOLD Warriors came at our Tigers in a fast and furious fashion. MACA failed to score in the first half. BOLD added 14 points in the third quarter. Game's end arrived with BOLD up on the scoreboard, 32-13. It was BOLD's fifth triumph of the season. MACA came out of Homecoming right at .500 in both overall and conference.
MACA scored one touchdown each in the third and fourth quarters. Trent Wulf scored both TDs, covering 80 yards in a spectacular sprint in the third quarter, and finding the end zone again in the fourth on a 30-yard scamper. Noah Grove kicked for the PAT after the last MACA score.
The Tigers struggled passing the football. Our quarterback had but two completions in ten attempts for 12 yards. Eric Staebler had a catch good for ten yards. Wulf was a bright spot as he amassed 178 rushing yards in 16 carries. He was complemented by Isaac Wente whose stats were 91 yards, 12 carries.
Grove did the Tigers' punting. Wente was the tackle chart standout.
Here's a rundown on the four BOLD touchdowns (and a field goal): First it was Trent Athmann scoring on a 43-yard reception from Lane Stadther. The same two Warriors hooked up on the conversion. Oh, and the same two accounted for the next BOLD score, this time a 34-yard pass and catch. Kubesh kicked the PAT after the second touchdown.
Kubesh then kicked a field goal from 23 yards out to make the score 18-0, where it stood for halftime and the traditional announcement of royalty.
Ben Steffel gave more breathing room for BOLD on the scoreboard with a six-yard TD scamper. Kubesh kicked the PAT.
The next score was Wulf's 80-yard run, and after that it was Kubesh catching a 73-yard pass from Stadther, and there was nary a break for Kubesh as he kicked the point-after.
Wulf scored the final TD on this blustery night.
Ben Steffel finished the night with 146 rushing yards for BOLD on 26 carries. Stadther completed five passes in ten attempts for a whopping 162 yards and had none picked off. Athmann and Kubesh were the big guns in receiving with 77 and 73 receiving yards, respectively. Austin Tersteeg stood out for BOLD on the tackle chart.
BOLD's win was their fifth straight. They're ranked among the best in Minnesota.
