Hi-Line Football Roundup

This weekend in Hi-Line football, it was all about winning big or suffering a tough loss.

On Friday the Northern C Chinook Sugarbeeters dominated the Simms Tigers on the road. The Beeters handed the Tigers a 46-0 conference loss, improving their conference record to 3-1 in the mean time. Simms fell to 1-4.

It was a big win for the Beeters following their loss to Fort Benton the week before. And it was the legs of Ben Stroh and Tyler Molyneaux that pushed the Beeters past the Tigers on Friday.

Stroh and Molyneaux scored two rushing touchdowns apiece. Stroh scored on a 47-yard run to start the game, but also turned in a rushing score from 16 yards out. Molyneaux's longest score came from 45 yards out, and he also found pay dirt from 11 yards.

But Lane Schmitt also had a big game against the Tigers. Shmitt reeled in a nine-yard pass from Chris Haider for a touchdown in the first quarter, as well as rushed for a one-yard score in the second.

The Beeters scored 30 points in the first quarter and 14 in the second to put the game away by halftime. Chinook also scored two points on a fourth-quarter safety.

Next in store for the Beeters will be the league leading Power-Dutton-Brady Pirates (5-0). The Beeters will host the Pirates on Friday.

North Star's Quinn Spinler struck first, and scored on a one-yard run. Henry answered back with a 36-yard pass and score, but Connor Kline answered with a 38-yard touchdown pass of his own to put the Knights up 14-6 in the second.

But two scores was all the Knights would get, as Henry and the Elks would go on to score four more touchdowns.

Henry scored four rushing touchdowns, two from three yards out and one from nine and one from 18 yards out.

The Knights will return to the gridiron on Friday when they take to the road to face Valier.
