Tiger Ty Kadlec (1) stops a Lemmon/McIntosh Cowboy runner in the first round playoff football game in Ipswich last week.
Ipswich scored in a variety of ways to blank the Lemmon/McIntosh Cowboys, 36-0, in the first round of the 9AA football playoffs at home on Oct. 21.
Ipswich had won the toss, but chose to defer to the second half. But the two teams exchanged some scoreless possessions early in the third quarter until the Tigers got the ball at their own 41 and began a three-play scoring drive, capped by Carson Gohl's 45-yard TD scamper.
That put Ipswich up 36-0 as the PAT would not be successful with 2:52 left in the third quarter.
That was Gohl's second TD run on the night, after opening IHS scoring with a 15-yard TD carry. And Ian Beyers passed to Trevor Beyers for the two-point conversion for a 8-0 lead at the first break.
The Tigers D was so successful that they really wouldn't have needed more scores. But they did.
Ian Beyers hooked up with Ty Kadlec for a 75-yard aerial TD at the 4:38 mark of the second quarter. Ian Beyers passed to Matthew Jaenisch for the two-point PAT and a 16-0 IHS lead. (That had been set up after a Ty Kadlec interception deep in the L/M red zone.)
Ipswich got another score with Ian Beyers' 40-yard keeper and he then passed to his brother Trevor for the PAT.
Ian Beyers would then pass to Kadlec for a TD of 10 yards late in the first half. A Chet Peterson interception would ultimately lead to that final score of the half result.
That win would result in some impressive totals for the Tigers. They finished with 10 first downs and 194 rushing yards on 31 tries. Ipswich was led by Gohl 15 rushes for 80 yards, Ian Beyers 5 for 71, Luke Peterson 6 for 19 and Chet Peterson 2 for 17. L/M had 39 rushing yards on 25 carries and a 9-18-1 passing evening for 124 more yards. (They had seven first downs.)
Ipswich, meanwhile, added a 10-19 passing evening from Ian Beyers for 212 yards. His favorite receiver was Kadlec, five catches for 140 yards. Carter Geditz was next with a 3-52 evening, followed by Luke Peterson, one catch for 13 yards and Jaenisch, one catch for seven yards.
Ipswich had 11 tackles from Luke Peterson and six each for Gohl, Chet Peterson and Kadlec. Tell Mollman would become the Cowboys' leading tackler with 13.
Ipswich improved to 8-1 and will host Canistota-Freeman (5-4) on Thursday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m.
