The Tekamah-Herman Football Team put it all together Friday night, winning 27-0 at David City.
The Tigers led 7-0 at halftime, 20-0 at the end of the 3rd quarter, and scored 7 points in the 4th quarter to make up the final score.
Kody Bitter had a monster game, going off for 281 yards on 36 carries, scoring 4 touchdowns.
Head Coach Graig McElmuray says Bitter played like a man possessed.
Bitter made 10 tackles while Tyrim Wahlers-Seeley totaled 9. Austin Breckenridge had 8 while Reece Williams notched 7.
Tekamah-Herman had 313 yards of total offense, 309 coming on the ground.
Great win for the Tigers!
This win was the first shutout for Tekamah-Herman since 2012 against Homer.
Coach McElmuray says his team’s defense really got the job done Friday night like they have all season.
Tekamah-Herman (2-6) rounds out the season on Friday at home against Aquinas (6-2).
The Monarchs shutout BRLD 41-0 on the road last week.
Coach McElmuray says his team is going to have to play a great game.
I think the Tigers are going to need to be able to throw the ball well, in addition to running it well. I feel having balance is key. Strong pass defense is critical for Tekamah-Herman too I feel, but perhaps a strong run defense will be even more critical.
Of course Bitter running the ball like he did against David City might be the recipe for success once again to go along with great offensive line play.
And of course special teams plays a huge role as well and cannot be overlooked either.
Either way Tekamah-Herman has to be very excited about their program and where things are headed right now.
