STANLEY – The Spencer/Columbus Catholic football team snapped Stanley-Boyd’s 16-game Cloverbelt Conference winning streak with a resounding 36-8 victory on Friday night at Stanley-Boyd High School.

Noah Zastrow ran for 139 yards and Hunter Luepke added 128 yards and scored four touchdowns for the Rockets, who dominated the two-time defending Cloverbelt champions.

“That is one of the best team efforts I have seen,” Spencer/Columbus coach Jason Gorst said. “Our guys up front controlled the line of scrimmage both ways.”

The outcome was never in doubt as the Rockets pulled out to a 20-0 lead by halftime.

Luepke scored from 15 yards out with 6:18 to go in the first quarter, Jonny Tomke returned an interception for a score less than a minute later, and Luepke had a 4-yard TD run late in the second quarter to give S/C a commanding lead

Luepke added scoring runs of 5 and 44 yards in the second half as the Rockets built a 36-0 lead.

Spencer/Columbus (2-0 overall and Cloverbelt) outgained Stanley-Boyd (1-1 overall and Cloverbelt) 361-315. The Orioles had just 65 yards rushing on 27 carries.
