Sports Roundup: Sept. 11, 2021

In a Friday night football game broadcast on 104.3 The Bridge, the Pipestone Area Arrows lit up the home scoreboard to the tune of 57 points in sending the visiting Worthington Trojans to a 57-20 defeat.


The Trojans, despite the loss, had several highlights of their own. Freshman Jacari Swinea carried 13 times for 150 yards, 73 of those coming on a touchdown run that happened just seconds after his 63-yard TD dash was erased by a holding penalty.


Evan Neuberger contributed a long scoring play of his own, as he ran back a kickoff 80 yards for six Trojan points. Quarterback Jake Brandner also tossed a 17-yard TD pass to Luke Gordon for Worthington’s other touchdown.


In the end, though, the Arrows simply had too much for the Trojans to contain. Quaterback Kellen Johnson threw four touchdown passes for Pipestone Area and also had a 17-yard scoring run. Maddux Biever, meanwhile, did a little bit of everything for the Arrows. He scored a pair of touchdowns on kickoff returns – one 93 yards, the other 75 – and also brought back a fumble recovery 65 yards for another touchdown. Biever additionally caught a 9-yard TD pass and ran in a two-point conversion.


Neuberger contributed 46 yards for the Trojans on nine carries. Swinea, Gordon, Ryan Lais, Blake Ahrenstorff and Abagotte Opiew each caught passes from Brandner, who threw for 97 total yards. Levi Kuhl was the leading WHS tackler with six; Cole Hennings had five.

In a Saturday college football game also broadcast on 104.3 The Bridge, Minnesota West picked up its first victory of the season by taking care of Mesabi Range, 28-7.


The Jays scored first when an errant Mesabi Range snap sailed out of the end zone for a Minnesota West safety early in the opening quarter. Minnesota West made it 9-0 later in the quarter when running back Rashard Anderson reached paydirt from a yard out. Mesabi Range answered with a touchdown of its own, but Jays kicker --- hit on a 31-yard field game as the first half expired to make it 12-7, Minnesota West, at the break.


The Bluejays got a TD pass from William Holm to Ian Stamer, followed by a two-point pass from Bailey Cowell to Tommy Lais, to make the score 20-7 in the third quarter, and LaRontay Standard got a pick-six in the fourth period to lock up the game. Cowell and Lais followed that score with another two-point-conversion hookup.


Minnesota West finished the game with 202 yards passing and 95 yards on the ground. Stamer and Lais each had five receptions, while Cowell had four catches.

Elmer Guzman’s scored a goal in the second half for the unranked Trojans, who will host Fairmont Tuesday night in a game that will broadcast on 104.3 The Bridge.
