West Point-Beemer stays unbeaten with win over O'Neill

The West Point-Beemer Football team stayed undefeated with a 41-21 home win over defending Class C-1 State Champion O'Neill Friday night.

The Cadets trailed 14-7 after one, and 21-14 at halftime after both teams scored 7 points in the second quarter.

West Point-Beemer blanked the Eagles 13-0 in the third quarter to go up 27-21 at the end of three.

The Cadets shutout O'Neill 14-0 in the fourth quarter.

Hunter Pilakowski had 127 yards rushing on 18 carries, and two touchdowns.

West Point-Beemer had 170 yards rushing while the defense gave up 302 yards, including 159 on the ground.

Great second half performance by the Cadets. West Point-Beemer is definitely for real.

The Cadets (5-0) travel to Madison (0-5) to take on the Dragons Friday night.

Madison lost 48-6 at Wayne this past Friday night.

This should be a very easy win for West Point-Beemer.

This is a game the Cadets need to build a big lead in to rest starters for the last three games of the season.

This is West Point-Beemer's last gimme game of the season so the Cadets need to come out and play well and be sharp.

A win over the Dragons might also be good enough for West Point-Beemer to secure a playoff berth.

I think this Cadet team probably has their sights set on more things than just making the playoffs though.

I would say beating Wayne, Pierce, and Norfolk Catholic, and winning a district title and having an undefeated regular season are all priorities and realistic dreams at this point.

I don't know if I'm ready to put West Point-Beemer in the same conversation with the Knights, but I think the Cadets have a good shot to knock off both the Blue Devils and Bluejays.

The fact that West Point-Beemer is doing so well and having the success they're having has to make everyone with ties to the school very proud.

The Cadets haven't competed at this high of a level in a very long time if ever, and the fact that West Point-Beemer is doing as well as they are is very impressive.

Championship teams take care of business against the teams they're supposed to roll, and the Cadets have to do that against Madison Friday night.

West Point-Beemer has to jump out to a big, early lead, and have the clock running by the start of the second half.

The Cadets have to be sharp and get their starters some good reps, but also rest them and get younger players valuable varsity experience.

West Point-Beemer has to continue to enjoy the great success they've been having, and play hard, loose, smart, and have fun Friday night.
