Game Recap: Bennington vs Skutt Catholic

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Overview:</strong></p> The matchup between Skutt Catholic and Bennington featured two of the top teams in Class B. Skutt Catholic has been rolling lately behind the arm of Wyoming commit [player_tooltip player_id= "147507" first= "Caden" last= "Becker"] and the legs of RB Maccoy Holtam. Skutt also has a tough, physical defense that loves to hit and smother opposing quarterbacks. Bennington holds claim to one of the most impressive rushing attacks in the state, along with one of the most experienced offensive lines. Their RB tandem of [player_tooltip player_id="192723" first="Dylan" last="Mostek"] and Nick Colvert is electrifying with their ability to score on any given run. Skutt Catholic came into the game undefeated against Bennington throughout their school history, which created a chip on the Badger's shoulders. The Badger's offense started hot with a long touchdown pass from Trey Bird to [player_tooltip player_id= "147989" first= "Cayden" last= "Bluhm"] and continued to roll from that point on. The difference in the ball game was Bennington's push at the line of scrimmage. Mostek and Colvert were able to pick up touchdowns on long runs and helped the Badger's control the tempo. The Skyhawk offense was able to get into the endzone on a [player_tooltip player_id="147507" first="Caden" last="Becker"] run early in the game. They could put together some promising drives, but the Badger defense was lights out in the red zone, shutting them down every time except for the Becker score. Bennington picks up a victory, sending a message to the rest of the division that they are for real. Skutt Catholic will continue to grind as they still have a talented squad and are now a crushing loss to motivate them if their paths cross again. <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Final: </strong>Bennington 42 - Skutt Catholic 7</p> <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/2/469/6146262e066af00930da29ca" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/2/60/614614b18cd5af0a806c1573" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <hr /> <img class="wp-image-208992 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/09/trey-bird-rotated-e1632894575843.jpg" alt="" width="339" height="407" /> &nbsp; <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>MVP: </strong>Trey Bird (Class of 2023 - Bennington)</p> <p style="text-align: center;">QB <span style="font-size: 1rem;">- <a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14908081/Trey-Bird" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hudl</a></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;">6'1" 160</p> <ul> <li>Trey did an excellent job managing the offense and distributing the ball to the playmakers around him.
