BOMBERS TRAVEL TO GOODHUE

Sorry about the late preview of this game, due to technical problems I was unable to post for a few days. We are back on and ready to go with the Wildcats. The Bombers travel to Goodhue to take on the Wildcats, this friday at 7:00. The Bombers come off a convincing win over the Winona Cotter Ramblers 27-14.  The Bombers started slow trailing the Ramblers 14-7 at half time. The Bombers offense took control of the second half, scoring 20 unanswered points and the defense stepped up and made big stops in that second half.
The Goodhue Wildcats got a victory over Pine Island 36-14. Goodhue's Doug Hueman scored 4 touchdowns for the Wildcats. He had 237 yards rushing on 33 carries, Kyle Drehmel had 101 yards on 17 carriers and 1 touchdown. Sophomore quarterback Tyler Schumacher was 9 for 14 for 109 yards passing. Goodhue also had 2 interceptions. The Wildcats, like the Bombers lost many seniors last year, the Wildcats are returning only 6 seniors this year.
The Bombers will have a test tonight, they must stop the run, like they did friday against the Ramblers. That means stopping Doug Hueman and Kyle Drehmel. Goodhue has traditionally loved to run the ball, they like to try and control the line of scrimmage, then play action to the running backs coming out of the backfield. The Bombers defense needs to stop the run which they did very well last friday, but need to defend the pass better. The offense has to continue to run the ball and then look for opportunities in the passing game.  You can bet the Wildcats will not let the tight ends run free down the middle of the field. The defense needs to shut down the running game, make the sophomore quarter feel uneasy in the pocket and tighten up the pass coverage. The offense has to run the ball, the Bombers had 274 yards rushing, and 160 yard passing. They will need to have that kind of performance this week.   Prediction   Bombers 31 Wildcats 14
