The Ellsworth Bearcats are taking a road trip to square off against the Beloit Trojans on Friday. One thing working in Ellsworth's favor is that they have posted at least 31 points every time they've taken the field this season.
Ellsworth took a loss when they played away from home last Friday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Friday. They claimed a resounding 42-14 victory over Halstead. The Bearcats pushed the score to 35-14 by the end of the third, a deficit the Dragons had little chance of recovering from.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Ellsworth to victory, but perhaps none more so than Tucker Goss, who rushed for 111 yards and four touchdowns. Goss is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 111 every time he's taken the field this season. Jackson Minear was another key player, rushing for 105 yards and one TD on only seven carries.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Ellsworth was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 303 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 274 rushing yards every time they've taken the field this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Beloit). They blew past Minneapolis 54-6 on Friday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Ellsworth's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-1. Those home wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 10.3 points on average over those games. As for Beloit, the victory got them back to even at 3-3.
Ellsworth couldn't quite get it done against Beloit in their previous meeting back in October of 2024 as they fell 20-7. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Trojans' Joel Rexroat, who rushed for 127 yards and a pair of scores. Now that the Bearcats know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
