KOMETS ROUT BOMBERS

The Cannon Falls Bombers were defeated soundly by the Kasson Komets Friday nite in Kasson, by a score of 42 -3. The Komets scored on their first possession, an 8 play 71 yard drive capped off with a 5 yard run  by Riley Donovan. Kick was good. KM 7 CF 0. The Bombers first drive ended with a interception of a Hunter Johnson pass at the Bombers 22 yard line. The Bombers defense stiffened and after 8 plays, the Bombers took over on downs on their own 2 yard line. The Bombers moved the 28 yards , but had to punt and KM took over at their own 41. After a Komets holding penalty moved the ball back to the 25 yard line, the Komets scored on a 75 yard screen pass from Donovan to Gage Ryan. Kick was good. KM 14 CF0.  The Bombers started a nice drive with runs by Ian Althoff and pass from Johnson to Alex Bultena, but a costly holding penalty moved the Bombers back and the drive ended with a Komets interception that ended the first quarter. Score KM 14 CF 0. The 2nd quarter started with each team trading possessions with punts. Then on the  Komets next possession, Jordan Lundell intercepts a Donovan pass and returns it to the Bombers 37 yard line. The Bomber go on a 8 play drive, that stalls on the 21 yard line. A Derek Johnson 28 yard field goal is good. Key play of drive a 41 yard pass from Johnson to Austin Lauridsen.  Score KM 14 CF 3. The ensuing kick is return by the Komets for a touchdown, but a block in the back brings the ball back to the 50 yard line. The very next play, a Komet ball carrier breaks through the line and fumbles, another Komet picks it up a races down to the Bomber 9 yard line. Then Donovan hits Chad Aaker for 9 yard touchdown. Kick was good. Halftime score   KM 21 CF3
The second was all Kasson. The Bombers did start the second half with a good drive, but as in the last three games, many times they have failed to finish the drive. This time they lost the ball on downs at the Komets 35 yard line. Two plays later Donovan scambled 73 yards for a Komets touchdown. Kick was good.  KM 28 CF 3. The next series for the Bombers went like this, 2 penalties, incomplete pass, then the punt was returned to their 9 yard line, and on next play Broc Berge runs 9 yards for the touchdown. Kick was good   KM 35 CF 3  The Bomber first play next series is again intercepted by Samuel Rappe. Komets take over at the Bombers 36. This time Donovan scores again on 36 yard run. Kick was good.  KM 42 CF3    The rest of the game Kasson had its b-squad in. This was a game the Bombers did not show up for. If they are to be considered one of the top teams in the HVL they have to bring it every game. Kasson may not even be the best team they will face this year. They should watch film, learn from the film, then forget this game and move on to the next. Two words for this week should be:   TOUGHNESS AND FINISH. The Bomber are at home next friday, game time 7:00.  Stats will be available as soon as I receive them.
