VAN HORNE — The Wilton football team had a tall task in front of them last Friday when they traveled to Class 2A No. 7 Benton. The Bobcats moved up to No. 7 from No. 8 in last week’s Radio Iowa football poll. The Bobcats showed o their offensive repower, racking up 516 yards of total o ense and scoring all of their 48 points in the rst half of their 48-14 win over Wilton.
Wilton football coach Ryan Hetzler and his sta have been using the non-district schedule to nd the right pieces to a new puzzle which is his team this year that graduated a large senior class.
“Going into Friday night we were looking to nalize where we wanted our team to be and I think we have done that. We have been evaluating the guys during the non-district season. I was happy how we passed the football. We need to be more efficient on o ense and that will come,” said Hetzler.
“Even though we lost by a big margin to Mid-Prairie and Benton, we needed to see teams with that type of speed. After the game, we talked with the guys and talked about preparing ourselves for district play,” he said.
Wilton begins district play Friday at Sigourney-Keota.
Benton led 21-0 after the rst quarter. A pair of Lawrence Wal- lace touchdown runs from one and ve yards out, along with a 46-yard touchdown pass from Clay Krousie to Turner Schroeder. Benton scored on all four possessions in the second half, adding 27 more points on four touchdowns.
The Beavers scored the rst of their two touchdowns in the second quarter. Trailing 34-0, Beaver quarterback Mason Ormsby connected with senior receiver Buddy Darting on an 82-yard touchdown pass. The two-point conversion try was no good. The nal Wilton touchdown came in the fourth quarter. Ormsby threw his second touchdown pass of the game, this one to Colby Sawvell for 28 yards. Ormsby ran in a two-point try to set the nal at 48-14.
Despite the score, Wilton had 318 yards of total o ense and really was able to move the football in the air. Mason Ormsby passed for 262 yards on 12-for-19 attempts with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Colby Sawvell caught the most Wilton passes with six for 78 yards. Darting nished with a career-high 104 receiving yards on three catches. Trae Hagen and Jackson Hull led Wilton in rushing with 25 and 24 yards.
Defensively, Wilton’s top tackle leader was Coy Baker with seven, Karson Wiley with six and Hull, Sawvell, and Grant Conway with four each.
Benton beat Wilton last year in Wil- ton 26-13. The Bobcats nished the season 9-2, losing only one regular-season game (Union) before losing to West Liberty in the playo s.
The Bobcats were led o ensively by senior quarterback Clay Krousie. Krousie passed for 300 yards and rushed for 128 yards. He passed for two touchdowns and rushed for a score. Last year he completed 11-of- 21 passes for 79 yards and one touch- down and rushed for 25 yards in the Bobcats win in Wilton. Krousie’s totals were team-highs in the game for Benton. Jacob Brecht was the Bobcats leading receiver in the game with three receptions for 157 yards and two touchdowns.
Defensively, Benton was led in tack- les by Mason Dellamuth with 6, and Austin Roos and Ian Rup with 5 each. The Beavers were 1-3 in non-district games. Wilton will begin district play Friday at Sigourney-Keota before returning home for weeks six and seven.
“We have a rivalry with the two schools. We are excited to play football on Friday. We start the season over Friday at 0-0,” said Hetzler.
