DuBois ground game wears down Moniteau
CHERRY TWP — With 270 rushing yards and 360 total yards of offense, DuBois (5-4) cruised past Moniteau (2-7) Friday night, 42-0 in District 9, Region 1 football action.
“We played with a lot of heart,” Moniteau coach Bob Rottman said. “They can never doubt themselves in that area. We ran the ball hard, but (DuBois) got the better of us.”
The wealth was shared by the Beavers as nine different DuBois players got their hands on the ball while on offense, led by running back Dalton Yale, who rushed for 87 yards on 11 carries and a touchdown.
“Proud of (Yale) and proud of all of them,” DuBois coach T.J. Wingard said. “The lineman did their job up front and all our backs ran hard. Those kids deserve it, it was a good night for them.”
After a chess match of a first quarter that ended with no score, the Beavers got busy after Garrett Nissel got the scoring going with an 18-yard touchdown run.
Yale and Brendan Orr followed up with rushing touchdowns themselves to help give the Beavers a 21-0 edge going into the half.
