Game Summary/Box Score
April 29, 2006 Bitterroot Blaze at Glacier Knights @ Columbia Falls High
School
BITTERROOT 40 GLACIER 12
COLUMBIA FALLS – In Montana, if a game scheduled with
the winless Glacier Knights is considered by the other 4 teams somewhat of a “gimmee”, it may still be…but the putt is getting
longer. The Bitterroot Blaze awoke from
a tight 3-0 first quarter lead to erupt for 23 points in the second quarter which
turned out to be the difference as the Blaze went on to a 40-12 victory over
the Glacier Knights in Columbia Falls, Montana.
With league-leading back,
Justin Nixon, having a modest game of “only” 54 yards rushing and a touchdown,
the Blaze introduce the RMFL to a new weapon, Patrick Evers. Evers rushed for more than 100 yards (101 on
17 carries) and caught a 24-yard touchdown pass to contribute to a Bitterroot offense, that was successful, although perhaps not
overwhelming against the undersized Knights defense.
Mike Rasmussen turned in
perhaps the play of the day, returning a Glacier punt 84-yards for a touchdown early in
the 3rd quarter to really cement the game away as the Blaze lead at
that time by 33-0.
The Knights were able to turn in their first two-touchdown performance of the season against the stingy Blaze defense and were able to maintain several drives, including the two for scores in the fourth quarter. Beau Herman, who passed for more than 100 yards for the Glacier offense which amassed 208 total net yards (to the Blaze’s 308), found Austin Owens on a 43-yard strike for the first score. Herman was also the leading rusher with 61 yards one 5 carries for the Knights.
