Worth County's Tigers ran away from North Nodaway 78-28 in a Homecoming tilt in a game that ended at halftime. The 1995 team was honored before and after the game and former Coach Mark Fletcher and members of the 1995 served as honorary captains for the Tigers. Bryce Ross, after being out for the first five games of the year, came back from an injury and aired out a pass right off the bat to Aaron Patton for 33 yards down to the North Nodaway 5. Wyatt Rush, following a block from Dallas Greenland, was in the end zone just 28 seconds into the game to make it 6-0.
As usual, Worth County was able to use a short field to get a bunch of scores and wrap up the game early. North Nodaway went three and out and lined up to punt from their own 22. Lane Craven shot through and blocked a punt and Dallas Greenland returned it to the North Nodaway 13. Dallas then took a sweep 12 yards down to the one and Andrew Mullock scored with 10:06. Wyatt Rush was all alone in the end zone for a pass from Bryce Ross to make it 14-0 with 10:06 left.
North Nodaway tried to follow Northwest of Hughesville's lead and run trick plays and use the swinging gate to stretch out the defense. They got a first down off a reverse pass from Austin Reynolds to Trent Coleman for 11 yards to the 21 after Andrew Mullock buried North Nodaway at the 10 on the kickoff. But after a short pass and a quarterback keeper got seven yards, Cole Parman, moved from the quarterback position to defensive back, broke up a pass and the Mustangs were forced to punt. Lane Craven once again blocked a punt and Dylan Kinsella recovered on the North Nodaway 8. Dallas weaved his way into the end zone with 8:17 left in the first.
The Mustangs could not get anywhere on their next drive as Lane Craven and Dallas Greenland shot right up the middle for a sack. North Nodaway had trouble all night long protecting themselves from pressure up the middle. Kevin Stoll hurried another throw and North Nodaway was forced to punt and it was shanked, once again putting the ball in good field position at the North Nodaway 23. Aaron Patton's bubble screen that went for 15 yards set up a three-yard touchdown run from Andrew Mullock behind a block from Dylan Kinsella as Worth County went up 26-0 with 6:02 left.
Worth County only needed 30 more seconds to get on the board again as North Nodaway fumbled the ball in their first play from scrimmage. Andrew Mullock got the hit and Wyatt Rush recovered at the North Nodaway 31. Dallas Greenland caught a long pass from Bryce Ross as he snatched it from two defenders and got into the end zone. Dallas powered his way past two defenders for the extra points to make it 34-0 with 5:32 left in the quarter.
North Nodaway got the points right back as they scored off a kickoff return with 5:18 left. Marcus Simbro caught a pass to make it 34-8. Worth County only needed three plays to answer. Dallas picked up 11 yards into North Nodaway territory at the 35. He then followed a Kevin Stoll block for 9 yards and then followed a Lane Craven block where he knocked down a Mustang defender 80 pounds bigger than him for a score. Dylan Kinsella caught an extra point pass to make it 42-8 with 4:05 left.
Wyatt Rush and Lane Craven combined on a sack to set North Nodaway into a big hole as they once again came up the middle. That set up an interception by Aaron Patton and The General followed a Dylan Kinsella block to the North Nodaway 12. Dallas weaved his way down to the one and Aaron Patton got a block from Kevin Stoll on a bubble screen and scored with 1:39 left in the first. Andrew Mullock drove three defenders into the end zone for the extra points to make it 50-8.
North Nodaway had three straight incompletions as Cole Parman jumped a pass and Ethan Schmitz and Lane Craven hurried another throw as North Nodaway was forced to punt. Cole Parman got blocks from Kevin Stoll and Andrew Mullock and got a long runback to the North Nodaway 22. Four straight carries by Wyatt Rush got the Tigers over the 45 point plateau with 11:57 left in the second quarter. North Nodaway outkicked their coverage after being forced to punt and Andrew Mullock returned it from the 2 all the way to the North Nodaway 15 and Cole Parman ran it in from there, getting a block from Truman Moore and scoring with 10:12 left.
North Nodaway kept their starters in against Worth County's JV, but the JV managed to score twice against the Mustang defense. On their first drive, Nate Pointer and Ben Badell, back from an injury, carried the load on a 57 yard drive. Finally, Andrew Faustlin cut his way inside for a 10-yard score. Will Rennells caught the extra point pass with 3:34 left to make it 72-14. Faustlin's cutback run from 20 yards out with 26.9 seconds left accounted for Worth County's final score.
