Southwestern never seriously threatened on its last drive of the first half and we're going to the locker room with Eleva-Strum leading 19-6. Here's a prediction: The Cardinals will have an onsides kick to start the second half.
First half observations:
*Southwestern can move the ball. The Wildcats have as many first downs as Eleva-Strum and controlled the ball for 14:32 of the 24 first-half minutes. However, what Southwestern is lacking is the big play.
*Lance Rongstad is turning in a special performance. He's 3-for-5 passing with 49 yards, has seven carries for 55 yards, an interception and returned a kickoff 79 yards for a touchdown.
*The Eleva-Strum defensive line is starting to assert itself. Southwestern is averaging less than 3 yards a carry, and is getting nothing in the ground game unless it is from QB Blake Martin.
* The hot dogs still have their natural color. I enjoyed one along with WQOW's Bill "The Sports Report" Port and former man about town in Eau Claire and current Verona bachelor David Kmiecik, who is now working at WMTV in Madison.
