Chatfield found themselves ranked #10 in Class AA entering a week two match-up at Cannon Falls. They defended their position with a lot of Kyle Nosbisch and a lot of defense. Nosbisch, a 5’11” 180-pound senior, barreled forward time and time again for a 38-carrry, 151-yard night. He scored on a 1-yard second quarter plunge, the first half’s only score. Chatfield’s defense recovered three fumbles and had two interceptions. Nosbisch forced a fumble that Lincoln Salisbury recovered in the end zone for a 0-yard TD in the third. After an Isaiah Froese fumble recovery, Carson Larrabee scored on a 4-yard TD run. Chatfield posted the first 20 points of the game. The Bombers only score was a 6-yard Logan Hofstedt TD run, which came as a result of a short field following an interception. Ignoring the final two meaningless long gains of the game, Chatfield defended 43 Bomber run plays to a grand total of 119 yards (2.8 yard average). For a second straight week, the Gophers won the turnover battle 5-to-2. Jeff Johnson’s crew moved to 2-0 courtesy of a 20-6 win.
