The Beavers were either tied or led throughout the game, including a 16-7 halftime lead. Trey O’Neil had two touchdowns passes, a 21-yard pass to Chris Pounds and a 36-yard toss to Brayden Strine. The Beavers outgained Philliipsburg 394-295, and had the edge in the passing game by a 183-30 margin.

Conway Springs is 11-0 after a 34-23 road win at Kingman last Saturday night. The Cardinals run the single win, and average 365 of their 427 yards of offense on the ground every game. Dakota Finstad and Travis Wood lead the Cardinal rushing attack, as they each have over 1,000 yards on the season.
