WOODWARD — Van Meter remained undefeated Friday after posting a 42-0 win over host Woodward-Granger in non-district football.
W-G (2-2) was held to only 98 yards of rushing on 30 carries and completed just three passes for 25 yards. Van Meter had few offensive struggles, passing for 289 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for 209 yards and three scores on 40 hauls.
The visitors held a 7-0 lead after one quarter of play and entered the intermission with a 28-0 advantage. Single touchdowns in each of the final two frames accounted for the remainder of the scoring.
Tate Lettow ran for 105 yards on 22 carries for the Hawks, with Kade Polich adding eight yard on three runs while quarterback Reese Jamison finished with minus-15 yards (sacks) on five carries.
Jamison was 3-of-11 for 25 yards through the air, with Cale Pritchett catching two passes for eight yards and Trevor Simmons one pass for 17 yards.
Nine tackles from Jamison and 8.5 stops from Lettow led the W-G defense, with Pritchett making six denials.
Anthony Potthoff was 11-of-16 for 241 yards and two TDs passing while Ganon Archer was 2-of-2 for 48 yards and a score.
Eleven different Bulldogs had receptions, with Ian Abrahamson (1-67), Kobe Richards (1-34) grabbing TD aerials while Dalton Van Pelt caught two passes for 29 yards, one of then an eight-yard scoring strike.
Abrahamson led the ground game for the guests with 79 yards and a TD on 13 rushes with Potthoff running 13 times for 67 yards and a score.
W-G will open Class 1A District 7 play with a visit nemesis to Interstate-35 (2-2) Friday. The Roadrunners topped Central Decatur, 34-6, before falling, 3-0, to Mount Ayr and 15-13 to Panorama. They blasted Saydel, 47-0, last Friday.
The teams have developed something of a rivalry, as I-35 has won the last four meetings, three of them decided late and by four, one and six points.
