The Pender Pendragons blew out Scribner-Snyder 66-14 on the road Friday night.
The Pendragons led 36-0 at the end of one and won the second quarter 16-6 to make it a 52-6 game at halftime.
Neither team scored in the third quarter. Pender outscored Scribner-Snyder 14-8 in the fourth quarter.
James Bensen ran the ball 11 times for 164 yards, and scored three times. Tyler Nelson had 7 carries for 84 yards, including a score. Shay Messerlie rushed the ball 12 times for 65 yards, and scored once.
Dylan Roth was 5-7 passing for 71 yards with two touchdowns.
Leland Bowder finished with 13 tackles while Kolton Lemkuhl notched 10.
The Pendragons totaled 457 yards of offense, including 386 rushing.
The defense allowed 186 yards, 113 coming on the ground.
Pender (5-2) closes out the regular season Friday night at Wakefield (2-5).
The Trojans played Creighton tough last week, falling 48-38 on the road.
Wakefield is a better team than their record indicates, in my opinion.
The Trojans have lost close the last three weeks, and have come close to picking up wins.
Wakefield will be battling for their playoff lives as the Trojans may have a chance to sneak into the playoffs with a win.
The Pendragons are already in the playoffs, but Pender is playing for playoff positioning and a first round home game.
I think the Pendragons will find a way to win Friday night, but I definitely feel things will be close.
Pender has been a very solid team this season, but Wakefield is a respectable team and has had a respectable program in the past.
The Pendragons have to come out and execute at a high level.
Pender has to win the field position battle, and must play well in all facets of the game to come away with the win.
It could be an interesting game, in my opinion. However, the Pendragons could really use a big win to give themselves momentum heading into the playoffs.
Pender has had a mighty fine season so far, and a 6-2 regular season would definitely be something to be proud of.
