On Friday, the Bonners Ferry Badger varsity
football team traveled to Orofino to battle the
Orofino Maniacs.
On a very muddy and sloppy field Orofino took a
6 to 0 lead on a 16 yard touchdown pass early in
the first quarter. The Badgers marched into
Maniac territory but turned the ball over on
downs. Quarterback Christian Trocke slipped on a
fourth and inches on a quarterback sneak.
Orofino could not take advantage of the turnover
on downs but pinned the Badgers inside the 20
yard line. After an intentional grounding call
on the Badgers, Trocke threw an interception
that was run back to the five yard line. On
third and goal from the eight, Orofino ran the
ball in and a two point conversion made it 14 to
0.
In the second half, Bryan Yeoumans made a great
run on a counter play for 40 yards and put the
Badgers in position to score. The Badger drive
stopped inside the 30 yard when the Badgers
turned the ball over on downs. Both teams would
go back and forth between the 30 yard lines but
no one was able to sustain a scoring drive.
The fourth quarter was more of the same. Neither
team was able to get inside the 30 yard line of
the opposition.
Final score Orofino 14 Badgers 0.
The Badgers next face Reardan, Washington, at 7
p.m. Friday in another road game. |
