Booneville 52 unanswered points in a 66–21 road win at Cedarville
Booneville 66, Cedarville 21
Booneville opened 3A‑1 play by unleashing 52 unanswered points in a 66–21 road win at Cedarville. After the Pirates drew within 14–13 on a 1‑yard run by Daniel Ramirez, the Bearcats needed just three snaps for Hunter Warren’s 54‑yard burst to restore a two‑score lead. By halftime it was 59–13 thanks to Will Houston’s six‑yard touchdown on his first varsity carry and a pair of defensive scores that broke the game open in a 38‑point second quarter.
Fullback/MLB Hunter Warren powered the Bearcats with 135 yards on nine carries plus a 33‑yard interception return—three total touchdowns. RB/CB Conner Droemer broke a 64‑yard TD and finished with 93 yards. Halfback Devon Ritchie added a 34‑yard score and two 2‑point runs, while senior QB Rhett Nietert went 3‑for‑3 for 63 yards, including a 35‑yard strike to Jasper Meeker. K Oliver Loaeza was perfect on extra points as Booneville intercepted four first‑half passes (Seth Wilson’s 38‑yard pick‑six, Triton Halpain’s grab, plus Warren and Nietert).
Cedarville struck first: junior RB Daniel Ramirez housed an 87‑yard kickoff and later added a 1‑yard TD. QB Hunter Van Brunt directed a series of misdirection looks, FB/MLB Jordan Barahona churned out tough inside yards and WR/OLB Justice Workman moved the chains. Kasey Baker supplied the fourth‑quarter touchdown and a successful two‑point rush as the Pirates kept competing on Military and Homecoming Night. Both programs now turn to league positioning in a balanced 3A‑1, with Booneville hosting Hackett next week. Cedarville now regroups for the stretch run.
