The CAM Cougars made a long road trip to face the Lamoni Demons worth it Friday night with a 62-24 victory at Graceland University.

Lane Spieker had a big night for the Cougars rushing 21 times for 211 yards and five touchdowns.  He also added a 60 yard kickoff return for a touchdown.

The Cougars got on the board early, as Spieker intercepted a Patrick Savage pass on the Demons opening drive to set up his first rushing TD from a yard out.  CAM scored again on their next possession on a 56 yard Spieker run and added both two point conversions to go up 16-0 early.

Lamoni answered on a Savage 2 yard touchdown run and two point conversion to narrow the gap to 16-8.  But they would watch the as Cougars scored the next 38 points.

Spieker added a pair of TD runs in the second quarter to give CAM a 30-8 halftime lead.  Ethan Arp scored on a 40 yard run and QB Nate Hensley tacked on a 7 yard TD run to increase the lead to 46-8 after three quarters.

The two teams each scored twice on the fourth quarter, with Spieker getting both of the Cougar touchdowns, a 16 yard run and the kickoff return.

The Cougars forced four Demon turnovers, with interceptions by Spieker and Jacob Holste and fumble recoveries by Holste and Joe Kauffman.

Kauffman led the CAM defense with nine tackles, including 7 solo tackles and one tackle for loss.

The Cougars improve to 8-2 with the win and advance to the quarterfinal round next Friday, November 8 in a 7:00 pm rematch with Audubon at Chis Jones Field.  Audubon won the earlier matchup on the final night of the regular season 19-16.  We’ll have live coverage on KJAN with Chris Parks and Mike Smith.
