Cardinals Crush O-R-R

September 15, 2012 by Matt Larson, Big Sioux Media

The Dell Rapids St Mary Cardinals put up 44 points in the first quarter on their way to a 56-12 win over the Oldham-Ramona/Rutland Raiders on Friday, September 14th, at Rickeman Field.

The Cardinals opened up the game with a kick-off return for a touchdown by Ben Bunkers.  The 2-point conversion was good, and Dell Rapids St. Mary lead 8-0 13 seconds into the game.  O-R-R responded with a touchdown run of their own 40 seconds later to close the gap to 8-6, but that was as close as the Raiders would get the rest of the game.  Noel Hansen added a rushing touchdown about the 7:30 mark of the first quarter to put the Cardinals up 14-6.  About a 1:30 later, Wes Heinricy connected with Bunkers on a TD-pass, and with another successful 2-point conversion, the Cardinals led 22-6.  The Cardinal defense would add a touchdown about a minute later when Jonah Longville took the ball away from Dustin Riedel in the endzone for a touchdown.  At the 3:34 mark still in the first quarter, Jacob Glazier put the ball in the endzone on a 3-yard touchdown run.  The defense would add one last touchdown in the first quarter when Jared Scholten stripped the ball and ran it back for a touchdown.  Dell Rapids St. Mary led 44-6 at the end of the first quarter.

The Cardinal defense would get their third touchdown of the night when Josh Brown returned a fumble at the 6:35 mark in the second quarter.  Dell Rapids St. Mary took a halftime lead of 50-6.  Oldham-Ramona/Rutland would score the only touchdown of the third quarter for either team on a break-away run by Riedel.  Casey Hansen would get the final touchdown for the Cardinals on a QB-run with about 2:00 left in the game.

Dell Rapids St Mary ran for 185 yards and passed for 49 yards for a total of 231 total yards.  Bunkers had eight carries for 32 yards.  N. Hansen had five carries for 46 yards and a touchdown.  Heinricy was 2-2 passing for 15 yards and a touchdown.  C. Hansen was 2-3 passing for 34 yards.  Christian Schnieders had seven tackles for the defense.  Brown had 6.5 tackles, a fumble recovery for a touchdown and an interception.

Head Coach Flemmer said, “I thought we did a much better job of tackling this week.  Our offensive line improved and we were able to run the ball much better.  We still have a lot of work to do to get ready for Colman-Egan, but we are headed in the right direction.  The kids played hard tonight and had fun.”

The win moves the Cardinals to 2-1 on the year.  They will travel to Colman to take on Colman-Egan on Friday, September 21st.
