The Wellington Eagles are on the road again on Friday to play the Berthoud Spartans at 7:00 p.m. Wellington's defense has only allowed 13 points per game this season, so Berthoud's offense will have their work cut out for them.
If Berthoud heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Wellington took over last week. Wellington slipped by Timnath 15-14 on Friday.
Cash Altschwager was a one-man wrecking crew for Wellington as he picked up 75 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 90 yards. Altschwager also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending two passes.
Wellington's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Seamus Pike and Teagen Greiman. Greiman also set a new season high mark in total tackles with 13. Another thorn in Timnath's side was Matt Brown, who made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, Berthoud had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 33 points) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They blew past the Cougars 45-14 at home. The Spartans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matches by 26 points or more this season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Berthoud to victory, but perhaps none more so than Skyler Streicher, who threw for 218 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Weston Peatrowsky was in the mix too, providing Berthoud with two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Berthoud was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 204 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Wellington's record now sits at 3-1. As for Berthoud, their record is now 3-1.
Wellington was taken down by Berthoud 38-6 in their previous meeting back in November of 2023.
