Kallstrom, Cortez, and Rudningen lead KMS to 20-0 win over Braves

A 69-yard punt and two long touchdown runs were the difference in the game as KMS beat Benson in the Section 4A opener last Tuesday night in Murdock, 20-0.
It was the second time the Saints have beat the Braves this season as KMS improved to 3-6 heading into a game at Upsala-Swanville Area later in the week, while Benson ended the season 3-6 overall after losing five of its last six games.
Upsala-Swanville Area (6-2) earned the top seed, followed by BBE (5-3), Browerville-EV (4-4), KMS, Benson, Parkers Prairie, and LPGE.  The Section 4A championship game is set for 12:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 5 at the FargoDome.
“I’m very pleased with the win over Benson,” KMS head coach Jason Fernholz said.  “And, this Saturday’s game at USA will be even tougher with a trip to the championship game at the FargoDome on the line.”

Thomas Dineen (15) rushes for a small gain during the Braves’ season-ending loss at KMS last Tuesday.  The Braves failed to reach the endzone for the first time since an opening shutout loss to Kimball Area.  KMS meanwhile, advanced to the section semifinals, Saturday, where it lost to Upsala-Swanville Area.
