Fillmore Central senior quarterback Bridon Bahl was 15 of 16 passing for 191 yards and 2 TDs while rushing 11 times for 46 yards and two more scores, as the Falcons returned from a bye with a 35-6 Mid-South-Green win over New Richland/Hartland/Ellendale/Geneva. Junior split end Rylan Ristau (6-93 receiving) caught both of Bahl’s scoring throws, a 30-yarder to open the scoring, and a 6-yarder in the final seconds of the first half to make it 28-6 Falcons. They had a third connection that went to the one (setting up one of Bahl’s TD runs). Grant Daniels (18-60, TD rushing; 3-42 receiving) also scored for the Falcons while Quinci Kaase (5-27 rushing; 5-53 receiving) also did good offensive work. Defensively, FC had four sacks, one each from Ashton Newman, Jeremiah Bushman, Will Boettcher and Joseph Otto. Ristau added an interception. FC won total yards 343 to 141. The Falcons (2-1, 5-1) still trail Southland (4-0, 6-1) atop the Mid-South-Green race with the Panthers (1-2, 3-3), and USC (1-2, 1-5), and L-A (0-3, 0-6) rounding out the sub-district. Bahl is FC’s all-time leader in passing yards with 4,645 (set earlier this year) and passing TDs (60). He surpassed Matt Hellickson (1994-1996) for the passing yards and has long since eclipsed Chase Christianson (37) in career passing TDs.
