Rogers 51, Elkmont 7: With just under two minutes left
in the second quarter, Elkmont (0-8, 0-6) had gained some life after
scoring a touchdown and forcing a three-and-out. Elkmont was vying for
another quick score before the break but a Rogers defender jumped in
front of a Red Devils’ pass to get the interception.
Rogers scored midway through the
first quarter when an Elkmont bad snap on a punt resulted in a safety.
The Pirates took advantage of the short field on the next possession by
punching it in with a 1-yard touchdown run by Cade Serment, for a 9-0
lead with 1:47 left in the first quarter. The Pirates added another touchdown with a 12-yard run with eight
minutes left in the second quarter. Elkmont then put together what
proved to be the only successful drive all night when Jordan Nelson
connected with Noah Sharp for a 3-yard touchdown pass.
Talbot Rueppel cashed the turnover in for Rogers (5-3, 3-3) with a 2-yard touchdown run. It gave Rogers a 23-7 halftime lead and effectively ended Elkmont’s upset chance. “That interception was the turning point of the ball game,” Rogers coach Randal Martin said. Elkmont was unable to get close to the end zone the rest of the night.
