Kamden Boyles, a Superior High School freshman, carries the ball for the Superior Wildcats in action with Palmyra Friday at Brodstone Field.
Lincoln Sander (10) moves the football down field for the Superior Wildcats as Dane Clark (44) opens the way. The Wildcats broke a 10 game losing streak with a win at the Homecoming festivities.
It was homecoming for Superior High School at Brodstone Memorial Field Friday. The stands were filled to capacity.
The Palmyra Panthers were the opponent. Like Superior, they had lost their season opener. On paper, they seemed to have a distinct size advantage. But paper does not play the game.
Superior scored in the first period to take the first quarter lead.
The second quarter saw the Wildcat offense roll as they scored three touchdowns to take a 27-0 lead at the half. It was a welcome sight, indeed, to see the home team numbers higher than the opposition.
A consistent Superior defense kept the Panthers scoreless in the third quarter.
Palmyra attempted a late fourth quarter comeback when they scored 13 points in quick succession. The clock and Superior's defense ended their effort. The result was a 27-13 Wildcat win and the snapping of a 10 game losing skid.
Lincoln Sander stepped up his passing game, completing 10 of 15 pass attempts for 142 yards and two touchdowns.
Colten Butler pulled in four receptions good for 74 yards and a touchdown. Kamden Boyles reeled in three receptions for 24 yards. Trey Blau landed two receptions for 24 yards. Dayne Clark grabbed one reception for 20 yards and a touchdown.
Kyler Boyles carried the ball 24 times for 139 yards and a touchdown. Sander took the ball 15 times for 80 yards and a touchdown. Clark made one carry good for nine yards. Kamden Boyles ran the ball once for four yards. Butler turned his sole carry into a two yard gain.
