North Bend Central beats Madison in rain shortened game










The North Bend Central Football team won 25-0 at Madison last Friday night in a game that was called at halftime due to inclement weather in the area.

Here is the scoring recap from the game:

First Quarter

NB- 35 yd pass from Austin Endorf to John Emanuel PAT No Good
NB- Brock Ray 1 yd run PAT No Good
NB- Joel Hines 4 yd run Conversion Failed

Second Quarter

NB- Peter Emanuel 95-yard punt return Brock Ray PAT Kick GOOD

Third Quarter
Game Called due to Lightning

Austin Endorf went 4-5 passing for 114 yards with a touchdown.

The Tigers had 170 yards of total offense, including 114 through the air. The defense gave up 104 yards, including 79 passing.

Head Coach Ryan Stieren says his team did some good things, but could of been better in some areas too. "To begin, it was an odd night. Started off really warm and windy, the wind died down and then lightning came and shortened our game to only a half. We did some good things and at times, we were sloppy. Defensively, we played a lot of guys so that might have been part of us looking sluggish on that side of the ball. But, I feel that we tackled really well and kept them from ever really threatening to score. Offensively, we were efficient both in the run game and the pass game. We just weren't as explosive as I thought we would be coming into the game. Nevertheless, a win is a win and I am excited for the kids."

North Bend Central (2-2) takes on Wahoo (4-1) at home Friday night.

The Warriors blasted David City 63-0 at home this past Friday night.

Wahoo is very good, and has had the Tigers' number over the years, but I think North Bend Central will be more competitive in this game than they have been in the past.

I'm not suggesting the Tigers are going to win because that would be very tough, but I fully expect North Bend Central to compete at a high level and play the Warriors closer than they have in the past.

This is a chance for the Tigers to make a statement and show that they are a team on the rise. North Bend Central has had an extra week to prepare for Wahoo so that should be to their advantage.

I think it's really important for the Tigers to be physical and tackle well.

North Bend Central has to force the Warriors to drive the length of the field. The Tigers have to limit big plays as much as possible.

I thought North Bend Central did a better job getting their run game going last week, and I think that's something the Tigers can build on this week.

It's going to take a lot of offensive balance for North Bend Central to keep this game close, in my opinion.

Wahoo has shutout 4 out of their 5 opponents this year so scoring could be at a premium for the Tigers.

The Warriors beat Louisville 55-0. The same Louisville team that North Bend Central lost to.

I don't think it's any secret the Tigers are going to need to play well defensively and have the game of their lives.

These next three games are going to be really difficult for North Bend Central, but there's no doubt the Tigers can compete well and close the gap against all three.

David City Aquinas could very well be the toughest game of the 3, and that one's on the road and could be a blowout, but North Bend Central gets Wahoo and Bishop Neumann at home so I think the Tigers could really give both those teams a more competitive game than in the past.

North Bend Central just has to come out motivated, pumped up, and flat out angry Friday night.

The Tigers have to be ready to hit hard, and cannot back down from the Warriors whatsoever.

North Bend Central has to be ready to play a complete, four quarter game regardless of the score outcome.
