Tyler Hettich (3) takes off moments after IHS quarterback Ian Beyers (20) gave him the football. Darrel Yost (15) blocks for the runner in the Bon Homme stadium in Tyndall.
Ipswich dropped a 42-20 Class 9AA high school football playoff outcome to Bon Homme in Tyndall last Thursday.
The hosts would receive a 30-yard TD pass from Riley Rothschadl to Landon Bares plus a PAT kick by Easton Mudder to get on the board. They would add a short carry into paydirt by Rothschadl the quarteback followed by a PATs pass from Rothschaldl to Isaac Crownover.
They added an early second-quarter touchdown run by Jackson Caba of 10 yards with a PAT kick by Crownover which would put the hosts ahead 22-0. And if that weren't enough, they got yet another Rothschadl TD carry of 60 yards. It would briefly put the hosts up 28-0.
That's when the Tigers would enter the scoreboard for the first time with a Ian Beyers pass of 70 yards to Chet Peterson with the PAT try failing. But the hosts would sneak in a punt return TD by you guessed it Rothschadl for a 34-6 lead at intermission.
The second half would then become somewhat of a defensive standoff. But Ipswich would earn its second touchdown with a third-quarter Beyers to Carter Geditz aerial connection of 16 yards. Ipswich would still trail 34-12 with a quarter to play.
The host would add an insurance TD in the final quarter with a Rothschadl 20-yard TD pass to Caba and Rothschadl would punctuate that with a PAT run. Ipswich ended scoring later in the final quarter with a Beyers TD pass to Colby Sylte covering 60 yards. Tyler Hettich would add a PAT run.
And Ipswich was denied an opportunity to draw even closer with a huge goal line stand by the Cavaliers.
Rothschadl earned three rushing touchdown including his blocked punt return and passed for two more. It was a busy night for the senior QB and his Cavalier teammates. That could also be said of the Tigers despite coming up a little short on the scoreboard. Ian Beyers racked up 298 passing yards on a 15-29 night with one interception. Colby Sylte had three receptions for 111 yards. And Trevor Heinz had five catches for 89 yards followed by Peterson with 70 yards on two catches. The rushing department totaled 101 yards, led by Tyler Hettich at 16-74 and Beyers 10-27.
Tyler Hettich had 15 solo tackles, followed by Carter Geditz with 10 solos and Heinz with six solo efforts.
This loss ended Ipswich's season at 6-3 and Tiger fans will certainly remember their eight seniors - Tyler Hettich, Colby Sylte, Grant Weisser, Darrel Yost, Ian Beyers, Carter Geditz, Cody Russell and Lucas Rowland.
