Fillmore Central football came into this season on the wings of three straight excellent campaigns. But this year’s Falcons just don’t have all the horses as in recent memory. FC (2-4) got a little happier in their foraging, doing so on Falcon meat. Chris Mensink’s crew cannibalized Wabasha-Kellogg (1-5). FC put up 28 first quarter and 35 first half points. That was more than enough in a 47-14 blow-out win in a battle of Falcons. W-K’s first eight series produced four three-and-outs and four turnovers (in three-or-less-plays). They had two yards of first half offense. Their first first down came on penalty in the third quarter. Josh Peters, the Falcons biggest holdover from the past two seasons, led the way with a huge game (6-10, 134 yards, 3 TDs passing; 21-164, two conversions rushing, interception, fumble recovery). He would’ve scored 37 points in generic fantasy football. Carson Kiehne (4-57, 2 TDs rushing) had FC’s first two scores. Tyler Raaen had a TD run and two sacks. Joe Tarrance (48-yard TD reception), Cory Brown (3-45, TD receiving), and Logan Dyreson (31-yard TD reception) caught scores. Nick Whalen added a 65-yard fumble recovery TD. FC improves to 3-3, 3-4. W-K probably shouldn’t even schedule games at Del Elston Field in Harmony. The past six meetings have been won by the home team by a collective 254-34. Notable highlights include Ryan Mayer’s nine PAT game (2011), Tyson Ristau (rushing) and Trace Tollefson (receiving) each having 200-yard games in separate contests (2015), and Nate Haugerud’s five TD game (2017).
