West Point-Beemer shutout by Boys Town

The West Point-Beemer Football Team was blanked 27-0 at home by Boys Town Friday night.

The Cowboys led just 7-0 at halftime, but scored 13 points in the 3rd quarter to go up 20-0 at the end of three and added a touchdown in the 4th quarter.

Jesus Barragan ran the ball 20 times for 137 yards, and was 5-16 passing for 58 yards.

Zach Vander Griend had a team-high 9 tackles.

The Cadets had 213 yards of total offense, including 155 rushing.

It appears Boys Town was focused on shutting everyone but Barragan down.

West Point-Beemer (1-1) plays host to Columbus Scotus (2-0) Friday night.

The Shamrocks beat Central City 41-27 at home Friday night.

Scotus also beat Aquinas the week before so you know they are good.

The Cadets beat the Shamrocks 35-28 in Columbus a season ago.

Barragan needs to have another huge night for West Point-Beemer to be able to win, and other kids have to step up as well.

The Cadets need to play out of their minds to find a way to win this one.

I feel Scotus is every bit as good as Boys Town if not better.

West Point-Beemer has to come into this one thinking they can win though.

The Cadets played well Week 1 at Arlington, and need to get their offense back to playing the way they did in that game.

I thought West Point-Beemer's defense was better last week than in Week 1 so if the Cadets can get things rolling on both sides of the ball this week they may have a chance.

It's homecoming, and West Point-Beemer needs to come out ready to play a great game from the start.

The Cadets have to get up early and try and play with a lead as much as possible.

If West Point-Beemer gets down by more than a couple of scores at any point in the game then it could spell doom for the Cadets.

West Point-Beemer has to tackle well Friday night and the Cadets have to force turnovers and also take care of the ball.

West Point-Beemer has to be excited to play under the lights once again Friday night, and must go out there and turn in a great performance in front of the hometown crowd.

The Cadets have to play with a lot of pride, heart, passion, tenacity, grit, fire, and physical and mental toughness.

West Point-Beemer has to hit hard, and can't be afraid to take chances and gamble on defense.
