FC Football Pitches Shut-Out, Wins Fourth Straight

For a second straight week, an opponent couldn’t put a point up versus Fillmore Central (4-2).  It wasn’t without W-K (3-3) trying hard, at least on one (18-play) first half drive.  The teams combined for three first half red zone trips.  FC twice held from inside the 12.  The intermission score was 0-0.  All the scoring was by FC in the third quarter.  The teal and black’s first drive went five plays, 62 yards.  Brady Ristau’s 44-yard gallop set up a Josh Peters 5-yard TD run (7-0).  Later, after a W-K fair catch at the two-yard-line, and after one punt attempt was negated by off-setting penalties, a second W-K attempt was snapped through the end zone for a safety (9-0).  The Falcons took the ensuing free kick and went five plays, 43 yards.  Ristau capped it with a 25-yard TD run (16-0).   After allowing 158 yards in the first half, FC allowed just 40 in the second.  Falcons-South won their fourth in a row, 16-0.  Ristau (14-101, TD rushing), Peters (8-45, TD rushing; 4-39 receiving), Nate Haugerud (3-50 receiving), and Logan Corson (9-13, 96 yards passing) led the offense.  Haugerud added his fifth interception (all in the last four weeks) and a fumble recovery.  Ryli Tostenson had two recoveries.  Trevor Timm (21-107 rushing; 9-13, 65 yards, INT passing) and Zach Kjeseth (4-54 receiving) led W-K.  FC collected four turnovers.  They have collected 16 in their four game win streak.  The Falcons (4-2, 5-2) have given up seven TDs through seven games, with five coming in their two losses.
