Dierks: All Flyers get involved in Freeman’s title-winning offensive explosion

VERMILLION, S.D. — With a Class 9A state football championship on the line, Freeman did what it does best on Thursday afternoon, putting up points in bunches and burying Bennett County under an offensive avalanche. The Flyers racked up 504 total yards from scrimmage — a balanced 292 through the air and 212 on the ground — on 45 plays, averaging more than a first down every time they snapped the ball at 11.2 yards per play. En route to a 57-12 victory over the Warriors, Freeman scored touchdowns on eight of its first 10 possessions and punted just once, that coming on a drive derailed by a penalty followed by a bad snap. It was as close to a perfect offensive performance as one could hope for in a state title game, yet, at the same time, it was business as usual for a Freeman team that eclipsed 50 points in 10 straight games to close out a 12-0 campaign. The Flyers finished the year averaging 54 points per game.
