TIPTON — The Tipton Tigers collected 470 yards rushing yards in their 2020 home opener and in doing so earned a 47-28 win over Class 3A Mount Pleasant last Friday. The Tigers win was their first of the season after falling in week one to Class 1A state ranked West Branch. The Tigers open district play Friday at Camanche. The Tigers are 8-2 in their last ten games with the Indians, including winning the last four games when they have scored at least 40 points in each victory.
The Tigers took control of the game in the first quarter, scoring touchdowns on their first two possessions. The Tigers marched 65 yards in eight plays on their opening drive that saw the first of seven touchdowns scored in the game on a 6-yard Levi Daniel touchdown run. A Payten Elijah 2-point conversion run gave THS an 8-0 lead three minutes into the game.
After a defensive stop, the Tigers used a quick strike drive. Nearly less than two minutes Tipton already had a score and forced a three and out on the Panthers first drive. Tipton then got a big play from senior Payten Elijah who scampered 75 yards down the far sideline for the second THS score and a 14-0 lead. Elijah and Daniel for that matter were the beneficiaries of tremendous blocking from offensive linemen - Skylar Schmidt, Nile Schuett, Austin Hubler, Jack Boldt, and Riley Keil - as well as fullback Lake Anderson. The Panther line was much bigger than the biggest Tigers in both size and moveability. The Tiger line opened up a gap big enough for a truck to drive through and Elijah found it, using his blazing
speed to find the endzone.
With the score 14-0 after the first quarter, Tipton extended their lead to 21-0 on the first play of the second quarter when Daniel scored from 6-yards out and Eli Jauron kicked the PAT. The three score lead wouldn’t last forever as the Panthers would score twice before halftime to trim Tipton’s lead to 21-14 at halftime. The Panthers would tie the score in the third quarter at 21 when they took the first drive of the second half downfield. Quarterback Jack Johnson connected with Brevin Wilson for a 16-yard scoring strike and his second touchdown pass of the game to tie the game. Tipton would quickly answer to retake the lead on the ensuing drive. Another big run by Elijah, this one for 67 yards, gave THS a 27-21 lead. Later in the quarter,
Daniel scored his third rushing touchdown of the game from 11 yards out to give Tipton a two score, 35-21 lead. Before the quarter ended however, the Panthers would cut the Tiger lead to seven when Johnson went back to Wilton for a big 68-yard touchdown pass to set the score at 35-28 after three quarters.
In the final quarter, Tipton had worn the Panthers out, and were able to punch in two more touchdowns. An Elijah 29-yard run with 4:52 left in the game and a Daniel 11-yard scoring run with 2:58 left put the game away.
Tipton had two rushers top the 100-yard mark for the first time this season. In 2019, THS accomplished
it twice, both were victories. Payten Elijah led eight Tigers with carries in the game with 235 yards on 15 carries and three touchdowns.
Levi Daniel rushed for 160 yards on 23 carries and scored four touchdowns. All seven THS scores were on the ground. Carter Hill and Caden Schmidt chipped in 42 and 34 yards. Elijah passed for 12 yards and Lake Anderson caught one pass for 12 yards. Defensively, Tipton was led in tackles by Carson Charves with 5.5 and Levi Daniel and Kaleb Nerem who each had 4.5 tackles. Caden Schmidtt also had a key second half interception that he returned 45 yards to set up THS on their final scoring drive.
Mount Pleasant senior quarterback Jack Johnson had 280 yards of total offense with 231 passing and 49 rushing yards. Last week in the Panthers 28-27 win over Clear Creek-Amana Johnson had 137 yards passing and rushed for 193 yards and three touchdowns. Four Panther receivers had at least two receptions. Against the Tigers, three Panthers had three or more catches led by Chase Williamson with four for 71 yards. Defensively, Jack Johnson led in tackles with 10 and Klayton Kleinkopf with 7.5 tackles.
The Tigers open district play this Friday when they travel to Camanche. Last year the Tigers beat the Indians 48-13 in a game that started a four-game win streak and set the Tigers up for a winner-take all game with West Liberty in week nine. Junior Mike Delzell has passed for 358 yards. Cade Everson is the leading rusher with 347 yards and four touchdowns. Jordan Lawrence is the leading receiver with eleven receptions for 132 yards and one touchdown.
