Minneota 33, Dawson-Boyd 21
DAWSON - Minneota set the tone early Friday when Andrew Behnke took the opening kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown and the No. 3-ranked Vikings also held area-rushing leader Dalton Palmer to 29 yards as they tripped up No. 2 Dawson-Boyd 33-21 in a Little Sioux Conference game.
Both teams were unbeaten and combined to outscore their opponents 441-62 entering the game, but Minneota (5-0, 5-0) held a potent Dawson-Boyd running game to 51 yards. Palmer had run for 806 yards in the first four games this season.
Palmer did score his area-high 12th touchdown in the first quarter to give the Blackjacks a 7-6 lead, but Minneota then scored 14 unanswered points to take a 20-7 lead at halftime.
Garrett Hennen gained 214 of the Vikings’ 333 yards on the ground and also scored twice. Cole Hennen also scored twice and ran for another 61 yards.
Jess Hansen completed 12 of 19 passes for 191 yards and fired a 10-yard scoring strike to Michael Lee in the third quarter for Dawson-Boyd. Lee caught seven other passes to finish with 152 yards.
Dawson-Boyd’s Christian Thoen scored on a 1-yard run to cap the scoring. The Blackjacks are at Canby next Friday.
