Overtime games don’t happen too frequently in high school football. Rushford-Peterson (3-1, 4-1) got a taste versus Randolph (2-2, 3-2) in week six Mid-Southeast action. The Rockets led 14-7 at halftime. The game was then tied 14-14, 20-20, and 28-28. R-P held leads of 20-14 and 28-20 in the second half. A Grady Hengel to Dawson Bunke 1-yard pass (plus conversion pass) gave the Trojans the last advantage in the fourth. But Randolph went 67 yards in just four plays, getting a 30-yard Evan Bennerotte to Jameson Exley TD pass to close to down 28-26. The two-point pass succeeded, making it 28-28. The Trojans had the ball one last time in regulation, getting into Randolph territory, but an interception on the final play sent the game to overtime. There, each team got the ball at the 10-yardline. R-P scored on their first possession. Jonah Bunke authored a 2-yard TD run on third down. The conversion pass from Riley Tesch to Hengel succeeded, making it 38-26. The Rockets got an 8-yard run on 3rd and goal to set up the game’s final play. On 4th and goal from the two, Hengel intercepted a pass in the end zone to secure the win. R-P won its fourth straight by a 38-26 overtime final! Hengel (12-46, TD rushing, 2-56, TD receiving, 1-yard TD pass) had a TD three different ways in addition to his huge interception. J-Bunke (20-92, 2 TDs rushing) scored twice. Tesch (11 of 19, 153 yards, TD, two INTs passing) did some work through the air. Randolph was led by Bennerotte (10 of 20, 212 yards, 3 TDs passing), Charles Gustafson (19-143, TD rushing), and Collin Otto (2-106, TD receiving). R-P (4-1, 5-0) trails #5 FC (5-0, 6-0) in the MSE-Blue.
