Mahtomedi Zephyrs Dominate Tartan in 39-6 Victory
A shifty Jacob Reubish raced through Tartan’s defense for his third touchdown of the game late in the third quarter, capping a six-play, 94-yard drive that epitomized the Zephyrs’ 39-6 win on Friday night. This impressive victory marks the Zephyrs’ sixth consecutive win, solidifying their position as a top contender in the league.
Mahtomedi’s Offensive Line Proves Unstoppable
Mahtomedi head coach Dave Muetzel attributed the team’s success to the exceptional performance of the offensive line. “Guys up front is where it started,” Muetzel said. “They just continued to kind of wear them out a little bit, and then our backs behind them were running hard.” This strategy allowed the Zephyrs to maintain a strong momentum throughout the game, ultimately leading to their decisive win.
Tartan initially took the lead with a field goal on the game’s opening drive. However, after two fumbles in the first quarter, one lost, the Zephyrs regained their composure and began to dominate the game. Senior quarterback Mark Graff played a crucial role in the team’s success, rolling to his right and firing outside the numbers to junior wide receiver Gavin Bifulk for a 30-yard gain into Tartan territory.
Zephyrs’ Running Game Proves Unstoppable
Mahtomedi’s running game was a key factor in their victory, with senior tailback Jacob Reubish scoring three rushing touchdowns. Reubish’s impressive performance was supported by the team’s overall strong running game, which allowed them to maintain control of the ball and dictate the pace of the game. As Reubish noted, “I feel that we stayed composed. We knew that we had a plan going into it, and we just stuck with our plan and it worked out.”
The Zephyrs will face their next challenge on Friday against Cretin-Derham Hall at O’Shaughnessy Stadium on the campus of the University of St. Thomas. With their unbeaten record on the line, the team is poised to continue their winning streak. For more information on this game and the Zephyrs’ season, visit Here
