Clay Center rushed for 378 yards enroute to a 38-26 football victory over Chapman Friday night.

Irish coach Kurt Webster said Clay Center is a very good football team. He noted Chapman is playing a lot of sophomores on defense. “Defensively they’ve got to learn to run and tackle. ” Webster said Chapman hasn’t punted the football in three weeks on offense. “So we’re moving the ball alright, we’ve just got to get stops.”

On offense Webster said Trevor Erickson  is averaging about 100 yards per game rushing, and threw a 58-yard touchdown pass against Clay Center. Sophomore fullback Eli Riegel ran for three touchdowns in a recent win over Abilene. On the offensive line Kel Stroud has been a standout.

Chapman ( 1-3 ) goes to Rock Creek next Friday night.
