For the first half of the game, it was as close as it gets. But in the second half, the third quarter to be precise, Fort Benton managed to pull away from Superior as the Longhorns kept their post-season Montana Class B football hopes alive with a 44-30 victory over the visiting Bobcats.
Superior, which had won its previous three games, including a resounding 54-20 road win over Forsyth in a first-round playoff game last week, scored first against Fort Benton when senior quarterback Jaxson Green hooked up with senior running back Lucas Kovalsky on a 47-yard touchdown pass. Kovalsky then ran for the two-point PAT (points after touchdown), staking the Cats to an early first quarter, 8-0 lead.
Before the quarter ended, Longhorn quarterback Truman Giese, a sophomore, matched the Superior score with a 25-yard TD strike to senior running back Cade Ball. Giese ran for the PAT, evening the score at eight each. It was the first of five touchdowns Giese would have a hand in during the afternoon.
