Location: West Branch
Date: September 20, 2013
Time: 7:00pm CDT
Game Notes
Wilton returns nearly everyone from a district runner-up squad. Tyler Hetzler is under center and has thrown for 641 yards, which ranks him 4th in Class 1A. His 10 TD passes lead all Class 1A QB. Koy Snider is a hard runner, gaining just shy of 300 yards through 3 games. However, he tacks on another 190 (11 receptions, 4 TD) through the air. WR Kaleb Schmidt is 4th in 1A with 13 receptions (20 yards per catch)...The Bears took it on the chin last week at #1 Regina and look to rebound. They hope the strong arm of Lucas Lamont continues his torrid pace, as he has thrown for a Class 1A top ten 557 yards. Michael Gould hopes his legs get him back over the 100 yard barrier, which he eclipsed in West Branch's first two games....This will be game #6 in the Pedersen v Pedersen coaching series. Butch has the better of son, Lance, 3-2 thus far. Lance is a 1990 WB graduate and 2 time all-state FB player. He was a captain on the 1989 State Championship team, the first in school history.
