On the road once again, and trying to erase the sting of a lopsided loss on Homecoming, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (2-5, 1-4 Big Rivers Conference) marched right down the field against the Wildcats (5-2, 3-3 BRC), and scored the first touchdown of the night, before River Falls punched back with the next two scores and led 14-7 at the break.
In a back and forth affair that saw three 14-0 scoring runs but neither team ever take the lead by more than seven points, Chi-Hi sparked a sensational comeback in the second half, but fell just short of victory.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior QB Mason Von Haden was brilliant, completing 13 of 19 passes for 165 yards and 4 TDs. Junior WR Jackson Bohland was his favorite target on the night: Bohland's breakout effort was his best game of the season, recording 6 receptions for 104 yards and three touchdowns, including a potentially game-tying 58-yard catch and run on a screen pass in the 4th quarter.
