The Fremont-Mills Knights earned a playoff spot with a 42-12 win over the CAM Cougars on Friday night, and they did it with a big defensive effort. The Knights held the Cougars to just 12 yards of offense in the first half and didn’t allow a Cougar first down before the break.
Despite the lack of offense, the CAM defense helped the Cougars hang around. CAM forced 4 turnovers on downs for the Knights, all in their own territory in the first half.
CAM was able to get the first score of the second half on a Thomas Hensley pass to Darien Burnison. That cut the lead to 21-6 but the Knights would answer right back on the next possession. F-M scored on a four play drive with Mason Vanatta scoring on a 4 yard run that was set up by a 56 yard run by Jaeger Powers. The Knights would connect on a 2pt conversion after that score to extend the lead out to 29-6. That took control of the game for good.
Mason Vanatta had two passing and two rushing touchdowns in the win for F-M. Jaeger Powers rushed for 291 yards and one score.
CAM star quarterback Thomas Hensley had one passing and one rushing score to put him at 51 touchdowns on the season. His outstanding career comes to a close with over 5,700 yards passing and rushing combined.
Fremont-Mills improved to 7-2 overall and 6-1 in district play. They become the runner-up in 8-Man 7 and qualify for the playoffs.
CAM ends their season at 6-4 overall and 4-3 in the district.
The Iowa High School Athletic Association released the tentative list of Football Playoff qualifiers for 2017.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Derek Carr threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree on the final play after the game was extended by two straight defensive holding calls and the Raiders snapped a four-game losing streak with a 31-30 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. The game had a wild finish with Oakland having two apparent winning touchdowns wiped out by penalty and the Chiefs committing the two penalties that extended the game.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch has been ejected after shoving an official. Lynch came off the bench after quarterback Derek Carr was hit late by Kansas City’s Marcus Peters in the second quarter. Lynch got into the middle of a scuffle and ended up shoving line judge Julian Mapp.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa and Northwestern have underwhelming Big Ten records that can be taken with a grain of salt given the quality of the teams they’ve lost to. The Hawkeyes and Wildcats are about to get closer to finding out how good they truly are in 2017 _ as is often the case when these West division foes square off. Iowa will travel to face Northwestern after a bye week that followed an easy win over woeful Illinois.
UNDATED (AP) — Two of the Big 12’s improving teams meet when Iowa State plays at Texas Tech. The Cyclones have won consecutive conference games and have four wins overall. It’s their most victories since going 6-7 in 2012. Iowa State followed up an upset victory at Oklahoma with a 45-0 win over Kansas. Texas Tech was back in the Top 25 before losing at West Virginia. But the Red Raiders have four wins, one shy of last year’s total.
UNDATED (AP) — The running game has become increasingly important in the Big 12 this season _ with a host of talented young backs leading the way. Seven of the league’s top-rated rushers were underclassmen as the league reached the midway point of the season. They’re led by Oklahoma State’s Justice Hill, Iowa State’s David Montgomery and Oklahoma’s talented duo of Trey Sermon and Abdul Adams.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Derek Carr threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree on the final play after the game was extended by two straight defensive holding calls and the Oakland Raiders snapped a four-game losing streak with a 31-30 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night.
With their season on the line following the recent slump, Carr led an 85-yard touchdown drive in the final 2:25 to give the Raiders (3-4) the thrilling comeback win in a game they trailed by nine points heading into the fourth quarter.
Carr finished 29 for 52 for 417 yards and three touchdowns, with Amari Cooper catching 11 passes for 210 yards and two of the scores.
Alex Smith threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns but it wasn’t enough for the Chiefs (5-2). They lost consecutive games for the first time since Oct. 11-18, 2015, and had their 12-game winning streak in the AFC West snapped in a thrilling finish.
The Raiders had an apparent go-ahead touchdown pass to Jared Cook with 18 seconds left overturned when replay ruled he was down at the 1. An offensive pass interference on Michael Crabtree wiped another touchdown on the next play.
But holding calls on Ron Parker and Eric Murray set the stage for the final play. Carr hit Crabtree in the front corner of the end zone to tie it at 30. Giorgio Tavecchio won it with the extra point, setting off a celebration on a wild night that included Oakland running back Marshawn Lynch getting ejected in the second quarter for shoving an official.
HOT TEMPERS: The game took an odd turn midway through the second quarter after Kansas City’s Marcus Peters hit Carr late, angering the Raiders. Offensive linemen Kelechi Osemele and Donald Penn confronted Peters and Lynch sprinted off the Oakland sideline to join the fray. Lynch, a close friend of Peters, ended up shoving line judge Julian Mapp and getting ejected . Peters also was called for a personal foul on the play.
LONG DRIVE: After Marquette King pinned the Chiefs at their own 1 with a perfect punt early in the second quarter, Kansas City needed little time to turn the momentum. Smith hit Demarcus Robinson on a 33-yard pass on the first play of the drive. After a short run, Tyreek Hill beat David Amerson for a 64-yard touchdown pass that gave the Chiefs their first 99-yard drive since doing it Dec. 3, 2006, against Cleveland.
DEEP CONNECTION: Carr had not connected on a single deep ball to Amari Cooper all season before the two teamed twice for long TDs in the opening quarter. On the first, Cooper appeared to push Terrance Mitchell but the officials picked up the flag and gave Cooper the 38-yard TD . Later in the quarter Carr and Cooper connected on a 45-yard score, making Cooper the first Raiders receiver with two TD catches in the first quarter since Mervyn Fernandez in 1989.
KICKING WOES: The Raiders were hurt last week when a bad snap by Jon Condo led to a missed extra point by Giorgio Tavecchio in a 17-16 loss to the Chargers. That was Tavecchio’s first missed kick of any kind this season but he then had a 53-yarder blocked and missed a 45-yarder wide left in the second quarter. Tavecchio also had a false start on an extra point in the third quarter.
