PREP ROUNDUP: Clark Fork adjusts, beats Mullan in 6-man football
• FOOTBALL
CLARK FORK — Football fields are wide open enough in 8-man football, but take away two players, and there is a lot of real estate out on the gridiron.
So it came as little surprise to see nearly 120 points scored, as the Wampus Cats took down Mullan 72-46 in North Star League 6-man football on Saturday night at homecoming in Clark Fork.
Dakota West carried 10 times for 132 yard and four touchdowns for lead the Wampus Cats (3-2), while Drew Hammack added 121 yards on nine carries and freshman Josh Constantine 99 yards on just five totes.
Clark Fork coach Brian Arthun — who coached at Mullan previously — said it was an adjustment to play just six on six.
“First 6-man I’ve ever seen. In Montana they play on an 80-yard by 40-yard field,” said Arthun, whose team played on a regular 100 yard field. “Once they hit the hole and break a tackle, they’re gone.”
Wade Stevens finished 6 for 10 for 101 yards and two touchdowns through the air, Bryan Moore added 81 yards receiving and 6-4, 260-pound lineman Spencer Jeffres lived every lineman’s dream by catching a 10-yard touchdown pass on a center eligible play.
“On fourth down and 10 on the goal line, I called his number,” said Arthun of Jeffres. “We had him snap the ball and run up the middle on a skinny post. It was hilarious. He had the biggest smile on his face. It was a big win for our homecoming. The younger kids got some valuable experience.”
The Tigers (0-3) were able to generate some offense, outscoring the Cats 24-16 in the second half, as freshman Skye Galloway scored on touchdown runs of 55 and 40 yards, and also on a touchdown catch of 60 yards.
Clark Fork is at Kootenai on Friday in a big White Star League clash.
Mullan hosts Lakeside in a 6-man game on Friday.
