Score • Kendrick Schroeder avoids a pileup in the middle, en route to the endzone for the opening touchdown of the Bobcats game at St. Mary's on Friday. The Cards downed the Bobcats, 38-23.
Summerland struck early and took a four-point advantage to the locker room at the half, but it wasn't enough to subdue the rated St. Mary's on Friday.
Led by Aidan Hedstrom, the Cardinals rallied in the second quarter and secured a 38-23 win in O'Neill.
After sustaining an injury in the season opener, senior Mason Hoke started in the qb spot, completing three of nine passes for 43 yards.
Trevor Thomson led the Bobcat rushing corps, racking up 194 yards on 24 carries.
Hoke added 29 rushing yards, while junior Kendrick Schroeder ran for 37. Levi Cronk topped the receivers with one catch for 23 yards.
Four defensive players finished with double digits in the tackles column. Logan Mueller led the team with 15; Colton Thiele, 14 and Ty Rix and Dillon Moser added 10 apiece.
Coach Tom Thramer said his team executed "extremely well," especially in the first half.
"We had some chances in the second half but came up short a couple times."
The Bobcats face CWC this week.
"CWC will be a whole new challenge as they have a couple of players who are fast and play smart football," the coach said.
