LDNE has a 2-0 record while Mead suffered their second loss of the year.

The Cougar offense took only three plays to put up points.  Alex Brehmer broke loose for a 52 yard score.  They followed up with a seven play drive with Brehmer going in from three yards out.  Following a lost fumble on their third try they got a 47 yard ;run from Brehmer to move out to a 22-0 lead.

Northeast scored on all five of their second period possessions. Quarterback Alex Brehmer connected with Marcus Hegy for a 28 yard score.  He followed that with a 50 yard  run and a 14 yard pass to Dakota Riecken.  Chevy Henneman finished off the period with a 70 yard kickoff return and a 5 yard run.

Northeast marched 50 yards on their opening drive of the second half.  On their fifth play Brehmer scored from ten yards out.

The Cougars followed with a take away as Dakota Riecken recovered a fumble caused by a Henneman’s hit on a Raider receiver.  Coach Maresh went to the reserves as Henneman took over at quarterback.   On his second play he scored from 25 yards.

It was another big offensive night for Northeast.  They rushed for 378 yards on 44 carries.  Brehmer had 233 and Henneman 124.  Brehmer completed 4 of 5 passes for 72 yards.

The defense gave up only 184 yard on the ground and 98 yards through the air.  It was a real team effort as line backers Chevy Henneman and  Dakota Riecken were the top tacklers with ten and nine stops respectively, but Bobby Simpson, Marcus Hegy, Charles Webb, Shane McCulloch, and Jon Christiansen were in on at least five tackles. Henneman, Simpson, Hegy, McCulloch, and Peeden had sacks.

Lady Cougars lose a tough one to West Point-Beemer

The Lady Cougars dropped a three set match two West Point-Beemer as they opened the season with a home contest against the Cadettes.  The Pointers won 25-17 and 25-18 in the  first two sets.  LDNE took any early lead in set three and fought off WP-B as they made a come back, but the visitors rallied with the last six points for a 25-23 win.

“We definitely played our best in the third set,” said Coach Cronin.  “We had some long rallies that went against us, but the girls really made some great efforts to keep the ball alive.  Our passing really let us down.  We need to execute with a decent pass so that we can attack and get the kill.”

WP-B opened with an 8-2 lead in game one, but a substitution problem with the libero serving nullified her four service points.  With the score reset at 4-3 the Cougars and Cadets battled in a close contest.  LDNE trailed 11-12 before WP-B ran off five points during their turn while Northeast suffered a service error after a side out.  The match ended with WP-B out scoring Northeast 8 to 4.

WP-B got off to a good start in set two with a 6-1 lead.  The lead stayed at five until the Cadet’s Weddle served four points (including two aces) to make it 19-11.  The Cougars added seven points, but the Cadets came up with six kills to get the win.

Maddie Ronnfeldt got Northeast off to a great start as she served up he first three points of the third set.   Brianne Haskell had five of her team-high ten kills  to propel the team to an 8-3 lead. The Cadets rallied to tied the score at 11, but Northeast regained the lead on Vanessa Peterson’s service.  After nine side outs the score stood at 21-19.  Darcy Simonsen put up two service points.  After a Haskell kill LDNE was on top 23-19.  Following a side out WP-B scored five straight top win.
