Woodstock 35, Dundee-Crown 7

The Dundee-Crown football team trailed Friday night before it got to touch the football.

By the time the Chargers earned their first first down, rallying against Woodstock was going to be a difficult task.

The Blue Streaks scored 28 points in the first 17 minutes and cruised to a 35-7 Fox Valley Conference Valley Division victory over D-C in Carpentersville.

"We just got our (butts) kicked," D-C coach Mike Davis said. "That's basically it."

Woodstock (5-3, 2-2) drove 56 yards on 8 plays on the opening possession to take a 7-0 lead.

Derek Brown found a wide-open Ryan Ortman, who is 6-foot-7, over the middle for a 26-yard strike for the score.

The Chargers (1-7, 0-4) were forced into a three-and-out, but a running into the punter penalty on Woodstock gave D-C a 4th-and-half-a-yard from its own 24. Logan Kissack never had a good handle of the snap and when he tried to make a handoff the ball got loose and Woodstock recovered.

The Blue Streaks capitalized on the turnover as Cole Freund scored on a 1-yard run with 4:02 remaining in the first quarter.

"I went for it early in the game, that touchdown is on me," Davis said.

Matt Hackbart intercepted a Kissack pass on the Chargers' next possession as Woodstock again started in Chargers' territory, this time at the 35. Brown hit Ortman for a 4-yard touchdown and a 21-0 lead with 1:10 left in the opening quarter.

D-C finally got its first first down on a 12-yard run from Tommy Newman with 21.1 seconds left in the first quarter. The Chargers' drive stalled after reaching the Blue Streaks' 30-yard line and they turned the ball over on downs.

Freund, who rushed for 115 yards, scored the second of his three touchdowns on a 7-yard run with 7:05 remaining in the half as Woodstock scored on its fourth consecutive possession.

"We wanted to get some turnovers from them, which we did," Blue Streaks coach Steve Beard said.

The Blue Streaks opened a 35-0 lead in the third quarter as Freund scored on a 4-yard run.

D-C, which gained 120 yards on its two second-half possessions, finally found the end zone when Kissack scored on a 5-yard run with 7:27 left in the game to avoid the shutout.

Kissack was 3-for-10 passing for 30 yards. Matt Cutinello and Ronnie Dumas each had 48 yards rushing for the Chargers.

"We couldn't get any time to pass the ball," Davis said. "We ran the ball a little bit, but then we would make a mistake."
