The Centennial Broncos will head out to square off against the Thayer Central Titans at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Centennial can't be to happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They took a blow against David City, falling 64-22. The Broncos' loss continues a trend for the squad, making it ten in a row dating back to last season.
Although Centennial took the loss, they still got scores from Ruger Webb, Sam Ehlers, and Kade Mcfadden.
Meanwhile, Thayer Central took care of business in their home opener on Friday (and then some). They blew past Heartland 66-6 at home. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Titans just coasted through the last quarter.
Sam Souerdyke went supernova for Thayer Central, rushing for 124 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. Souerdyke's longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. The team also got some help courtesy of Laken Wiedel, who rushed for 57 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries.
Wiedel wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Thayer Central was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 277 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 204 rushing yards in four consecutive contests dating back to last season.
Everything came up roses for Centennial against Thayer Central when the teams last played back in October of 2015 as the team secured a 49-20 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Centennial since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
