NEW GLARUS - The Glarner Knights cruised to victory jumping out to a 35-3 halftime lead before finishing off Wisconsin Heights in a 55-3 win.
Though they didn't pass for a single yard in the game, New Glarus-Monticello (2-3 overall, 1-0 Capitol South) rushed for 524 yards on 32 carries. Senior Jim Chenoweth led the way with 207 yards and three touchdowns.
"We did it like we did last week establishing the run and playing physical," Glarner Knights coach Desie Breadon said. "Our line played fantastic and opened up some big holes."
The Vanguards were able to put together some offense of their own as they rushed for 110 yards and passed for 127, but the team was unable to finish their drives. Senior Cole Handel led the way for Wisconsin Heights with 55 rushing yards and had all of their passing yards.
"Defensively we played great," Breadon said. "The last couple games we've looked like a whole different team than last year."
New Glarus-Monticello had three players go over 100 yards rushing. Senior Patrick Elzen had 116 yards on just 4 carries and a touchdown and senior Casey Severson had 101 yards on only 5 carries and got in the endzone twice.
"They stacked up against the run so much, once we got past the first wave we got big gains," Breadon said. "There is definite improvement every week."

Darlington 55, Southwestern 0
The Redbirds blanked Southwestern on the Wildcats home turf, doing most of the damage with their running game.
"We had some huge plays," Darlington (4-1, 3-0 SWAL) coach Scott Zywicki said. "Our first two scores were well over 50 yards. We were too big and strong tonight."
The Redbirds coach said the main difference in the game was a large experience and size gap.
"They started a few sophomores and we have a lot of experienced seniors," Zywicki said. "We are playing very well on both sides of the football right now," Zywicki said of the team.
Evansville-Albany 21, Whitewater 20
Isaiah Shell took back a 77-yard kick return for a touchdown for the Blue Devils with 2:07 left in the game to pull out a last-minute victory over Whitewater.
Evansville-Albany (3-2 overall, 2-1 Capitol North) fumbled in their own territory and the Whippets capitalized and were on their way to victory before the special teams score. On the ensuing offensive play Whitewater completed a pass and had a fumble of their own that all but ended the game.
The Whippets outgained the Blue Devils 319 yards to 188 but it wasn't enough to pull out the win.
"We had a lot of fumbles," Blue Devils coach Ron Grovesteen said referring to the team's four fumbles. "(On one of the fumbles) they had a short field and scored and went for two to tie it up at 14's."
Evansville-Albany quarterback Matt Sperry threw for 83 yards and Ryan Cashore ran for 50.
