Prep report: MI-B overrun in Class A quarterfinal

The Breckenridge Cowboys’ offense ran roughshod over Mountain Iron-Buhl on Friday night, as their Class A state quarterfinal in Becker was a 57-20 Breckenridge rout. Matt Lira picked off a pass and returned it all the way to give MI-B an early 6-0 lead, but Breckenridge scored six touchdowns in the first half, with Cowboys senior quarterback Riley Kappes throwing for one and rushing for two more. The second was a 60-yard scamper late in the first half, contributing to a 147-yard rushing total in the first half alone and his fifth 100-yard rushing game of the season. Kappes had two more touchdown runs and a touchdown pass in the second half. Even the good news came with bad news. Right after Izaiah Alto hit Noah Fox down the hash marks on a 67-yard catch and run for MI-B’s second touchdown of the game, Breckenridge’s Joel Lopez returned the ensuing kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown the other way.
