A team can’t lose if it yields zero points. Chatfield football proved that point in notching their third victory of the year. The first half versus Triton was a choppy offensive quagmire; four total first downs, seven three-and-outs, Chatfield with 46 total yards of offense, 0-0 score. The Gophers found some offense in the third quarter, breaking the seal late in the stanza on a 25-yard Reid Johnson to Ben Brogan TD connection, the later making a great juggling one-handed catch (6-0). Midway through the fourth, the Cobras had their last chance. Starting in Gopher territory, they made the 25, but were denied. Chatfield replied with a 7-play, 66-yard drive. Gage Tuohy’s 31-yard TD run on 4th and 5 sealed the deal. Defense again yielding under 200 yards to its opponent, Chatfield prevailed 14-0. Tuohy’s last run gave him his third 100-yard effort (17-111, TD rushing) this year. Carson Larrabee (10-45 rushing), Johnson (3-13, 49 yards, TD, INT passing), and Brogan (2-35, TD receiving) helped. Chance Backer was a defensive stand-out, notching a blocked punt and a sack. The 7th-ranked Gophers move to 2-0, 3-0.
