The Southwest Valley Timberwolves hit a bounty of big plays on Friday night en route to a 48-0 win over the Griswold Tigers. After turning the ball over on downs on the opening possession of the game, the Timberwolves proceeded to score on their next 5 possessions to blow open the game. Southwest Valley had five scoring plays over 45 yards on the night.

Chance Cobb got the scoring started with a 56-yard touchdown pass to Addison Bull followed by a three yard touchdown run on a keeper on the next drive. Cobb hooked up with Grant Maurer for two other touchdown passes of 72 and 46 yards in the second quarter. Maurer would later return a Griswold fumble 82 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to give him three scores on the night.

The rest of the scoring for Southwest Valley came on two Aiden Gaule had touchdown runs of 91 and 14 yards.

Griswold had a 19 play drive end at the 3 yard line at the end of the half as they ran out of time to punch a score in. The Tigers would then put together a 15-play drive to open up the second half only to see that end with the fumble that was returned by Maurer for a touchdown.

The Tigers fall to 1-3 overall and 1-1 in Class A District 7.  The Timberwolves improve to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the district.

CHICAGO (AP) — Kris Bryant had three hits, including his 27th homer, and the Chicago Cubs overcame the ejections of John Lackey and Willson Contreras on their way to an 8-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

Bryant went deep in the fourth and singled twice in Chicago’s seven-run sixth, helping the NL Central leaders open a big weekend series on a winning note. The Cubs moved four games ahead of St. Louis.

Lackey and Contreras were thrown out with Chicago trailing 2-1 in the fifth. But after outscoring the New York Mets 39-14 in a three-game sweep, the Cubs got enough big hits to improve to 9-4 against the Cardinals this year.
