Senior Tanner Schminke makes a tackle on junior Garrett Dahl late in the 2nd quarter. Schminke ended the game with four tackles. Boone Football kicked off their season Friday night in Creston. After a 2-7 2015 campaign, the Toreadors were looking to start their year off with a victory over the Panthers. Keys to the game were establishing an up tempo offense and stifling Creston’s rushing attack.
In the first quarter, both teams exchanged punts as they struggled to get their offenses going. Junior John Herrick is this year’s punter and he had a solid debut as he averaged 33 yards per punt and had a 41 yard boot in the game. Towards the end of the first quarter Creston mounted a drive and with 18 seconds left quarterback Chase Shiltz scampered for an 18 yard touchdown to put Creston up 6-0. Boone blocked the PAT to keep the score where it was.
In the second quarter, the main play was a Creston punt that backed Boone up to their own five yard line. After losing 2 yards on first and second down, Boone was backed up to the three yard line. The pressure came quickly from Creston and they forced a fumble in the endzone recovered for a touchdown. After scoring the two-point conversion, the halftime score was 14-0 in favor of the Panthers.
The second half started out with the Toreadors in possession of the football. A first down was gained on the drive, but once again the offense never really gained traction and was forced to punt. The ball went back and forth a few times before Creston struck again with a 35 yard passing touchdown to junior Garrett Dahl. Boone later mounted a drive and threatened in Creston territory, but once again failed to punch it in the endzone for a touchdown.
In the fourth quarter, the Toreadors finally sparked their offense with a 25 yard touchdown pass to junior Mason Hulse to make the score 28-7. Boone later recovered a fumble, but time wasn’t on their side as the game ended with a final score of 28-7.
Boone comes home to Geoppinger Field this Friday as they square off with the Bondurant-Farrar Bluejays. Kickoff is at 7:30.
