For the 25th time, CSC’s record shows at least eight wins. For the team’s 100th season, the Eagles ended 8-3 overall and 7-2 RMAC. CSC flew over the Fort Lewis Skyhawks 18-16 Saturday.

Jonn McLain, senior quarterback of Chadron, now holds every school passing record. Saturday he completed 24 of 32 for 300 yards and three touchdowns. For his career, McLain completed 934 of 1,456 passes for 10,115 yards, and 94 touchdowns.

Rushing for 91 yards and a touchdown, tailback Michael Madkins, senior of Sacramento, California, led the Eagle rushers. Tailbacks Derek Jackson, redshirt freshman of Pueblo West, Colorado, marked 12 yards on the ground and sophomore Cody Paul, of Seal Beach, California, tallied six.

Leading the receivers, Kyle Vinich, junior of Casper, Wyoming, snagged eight for 133 yards and two TDs. Receiver Danny O’Boyle, junior of Gering, grabbed four for 85 yards and a TD, and Ethan Bauer, senior of Morse Bluff, gained 42 yards on five receptions.

All together the Eagle’s defense counted 100 tackles. Five Eagles marked double digits. Dylan Furrier, junior of Tucson, Arizona, led the Eagle tacklers with 14; Isaac Holscher, senior of Scottsbluff, marked 12; and Cole Montgomery, junior of Casper, Wyoming, took down 11. Montgomery also intercepted the Skyhawks once and broke up three other passes.

“I’m glad to finish the season on a high note,” Center Sam Parker, senior of Harrison, said.

Fifteen players were named to RMAC All-Conference teams.

Mike Lorenzo, senior offensive linesman of Oak Park, California; Parker; Ryan Wood, sophomore defensive back of Stockton, California; and Paul were named to the First Team. Madkins; Zach Sandstrom, senior defensive lineman of Chadron; Furrier; and Lane Haller, senior safety of Gordon; were named to the Second Team.
