Muskets Get Back Parker Ogle, Victorious Over DeKalb

North/West Nodaway got back on the winning track with a 42-12 victory over DeKalb as they got back Parker Ogle, one of the anchors of their defense Friday. After running the Rock Port/Mound City gauntlet, the Muskets were hungry for a victory and it showed. Korbin Koch started off the scoring with a 66 yard punt return for a score in the first quarter. Dylan Carden added to the lead in the second with a four yard run in the second to make it 14-0 after the extra points.

DeKalb closed to within 14-6 at the half behind Coyote Henderson’s nine yard run. The running of Tyler Matson kept them in the game for much of the night as he had 23 carries for 148 yards for the winless Tigers.

But then Korbin Koch took over in the third quarter with runs of 39, 50, and 25 that put the game away. North/West led 34-6 after three quarters, and Koch added another scoring run, this time of 13 yards, in the fourth before Matson’s 6 yard run for DeKalb accounted for the final tally.

Koch was 3 for 8 in passing for 45 yards and an interception. He ran 10 times for 127 yards. Tyler Bix ran 10 times for 44 yards, Dylan Carden 6 carries for 31 yards, Gabe Goff 5 carries for 31 yards, and Brody Beason 1 carry for 5 yards.

Wade Torres caught two passes for 31 yards, while Parker Ogle caught one for 14 yards.
On defense, Parker Ogle anchored the Musket defense with 14 tackles and one sack as he was a welcome return to the lineup after getting a concussion. Brody Beason and Gabe Goff had 11 tackles, Dylan Carden had 9 tackles and one sack, Korbin Koch had 8 tackles and one pass deflection, Tyler Bix had 4, Wade Torres 3, Lucas Alvarez 2, and Alex Roderick, Stephen Voltmer, and Cody Cline each had one.

North/West Nodaway plays in Hopkins this week as they have their Homecoming game with St. Joseph Christian. The parade and festivities will start at 1 pm Thursday, with the Homecoming game starting at 7 pm Friday.
