Bentworth had won six straight at home dating back to last season, but on Friday they bumped up to 6-2 to make it seven. They blew past the Jefferson-Morgan Rockets 35-13. The result was nothing new for the Bearcats, who have now won six matchups by 22 points or more so far this season.
It was another big night for Ben Hays, who rushed for 175 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry. Hays is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 101 every time he's taken the field this season. Alejandro Leichty was another key rusher, rushing for 89 yards on only six carries.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Bentworth was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 289 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 189 rushing yards in four consecutive contests.
Bentworth didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Kaden Ayres and Hays.
Having lost for the first time this season, Jefferson-Morgan fell to 7-1. The defensive woes were uncharacteristic for they, who until this game were averaging 14.13 points allowed.
When it comes to explaining why Jefferson-Morgan lost, don't look at Deakyn Dehoet. Despite the final result, he rushed for 68 yards and one TD.
We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Bentworth will take on rival Mapletown at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Jefferson-Morgan is set to face off against their familiar foe Avella at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few points on average (the Rockets 14.1, the Eagles 13.8) so any points scored will be well earned.
