The West Point-Beemer Football team continued their winning ways last week, winning 41-22 at Fort Calhoun Friday night.
The Cadets led 7-0 after one and won the second quarter 13-8 to go up 20-8 at halftime.
West Point-Beemer doubled up the Pioneers 14-7 in the third quarter, and led 34-15 at the end of three.
Both teams scored a touchdown in the 4th quarter.
Hunter Pilakowski ran the ball 17 times for 148 yards, and scored three touchdowns.
Kade Hughes racked up a team-high 9 tackles.
The Cadets totaled 219 yards of offense, 208 coming on the ground.
The defense gave up 343 yards of total offense, including 215 through the air.
Solid win for West Point-Beemer. The Cadets probably could of played better defense, but a good win nonetheless.
West Point-Beemer (4-0) hosts O'Neill 2-2) Friday night.
The Eagles lost 28-17 at Columbus Lakeview last time out.
The same Vikings team that beat Fort Calhoun 42-6.
It should be a really good and close game Friday night. I feel things can go either way.
If the Cadets can get this one they should be 6-0 heading into the Wayne game, and could very well secure a playoff berth.
This game with O'Neill is super critical as is every other game West Point-Beemer plays this season.
The Cadets would just assume win this week against the Eagles, and next week against Madison to all but secure themselves a berth in the playoffs.
Right now West Point-Beemer is sitting 4th in power points, and would be the No. 4 seed in C-1 if the playoffs started today.
The way the Cadets are playing right now has to put them in the conversation with Pierce and Norfolk Catholic.
West Point-Beemer has those two teams at home to round out the regular season, and I think the Cadets can compete with both.
There hasn't been this kind of quality football played at West Point-Beemer in quite some time, and the Cadets have to be excited about where they're at right now.
With that said, O'Neill is a very good, tough team being the defending C-1 State Champs and all.
It will be an interesting game to say the least, but a game I feel West Point-Beemer can definitely win.
The defense has to be tough and stout the way they were against Arlington and Wisner-Pilger, and the offense has to keep piling it on the way they have.
More specifically, Pilakowski has to run the ball as effectively as he has all season.
I would say he is the MVP of this team so far this season, and without him, the Cadets wouldn't be where they are.
Exciting times at West Point-Beemer, but the Cadets have to stay focused and can't be complacent or get caught up in the moment.
West Point-Beemer has to remain humble and hungry, and must be ready to take it to the Eagles for 4 quarters.
