You can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Bennington's strategy against Gretna on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Badgers blew the Dragons out of the water with a 35-7 final score. Given the Badgers' advantage in MaxPreps' Nebraska football rankings (they are ranked fourth, while the Dragons are ranked 26th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
It was another big night for Ty Bouaphakeo, who threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.8 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 90 yards. Those four passing touchdowns gave him a new career-high. Parker Douglas was in the mix too, providing Bennington with two scores.
Bennington's defense stepped up as well, laying out Michael Knudsen three times. Jacob Sanger refused to say out of the backfield, picking up a sack all by himself.
The win was the fourth in a row for Bennington, bringing their record up to 4-1. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 37.8 points over those games. As for Gretna, they now have a losing record of 2-3.
Looking ahead, Bennington will host Blair at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Badgers will be up against the Bears' rather soft defense (which has allowed 28.2 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Gretna, they will face off against Plattsmouth at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. That game will pit two of the most dominant backs against one another: Ayden Furstenau and Levi Walker.
