It was one of the more surprising scores of week two. Lanesboro did a number on Mabel-Canton in 9-man football. The Burros got a little revenge for a (big) loss last year. He wasn’t the only guy doing stuff, but Cole Schwichtenberg’s huge quarter, huge game, guaranteed Burro victory. Lanesboro scored the first 30 points of the contest, with their All-District QB finding the end zone three times (runs of 8, 60, and 35) in the decisive third stanza. A year ago, M-C went over Lanesboro 42-16. James Semmen’s boys returned the favor this year by a final of 44-14. Schwichtenberg (19-208, 3 TDs rushing) led the attack with big help from Collin Scott (19-140, TD rushing). Brett Wangen (6-yard run) and Connor Ruen (1-yard run) also found pay dirt. Ruen added three sacks. Talon Peterson (13-152, 2 TDs rushing, 4-69 receiving) and Drew Wyffels (6-12, 87 yards, INT passing; 16 total tackles, interception) carried the Cougar load. Already devoid of two-time All-district running back Wayne Ross (non-participation), Weston Whalen notched just four carries before leaving with injury. Each team is 1-1.
