C-Falls downs Stevi 35-7 in opener

STEVENSVILLE — Cody Schweikert threw for three touchdowns, ran for two more and the Columbia Falls Wildcats beat Stevensville 35-7 Thursday, in Western A football.

Schweikert’s 28-yard scoring pass to Alihn Anderson broke a 7-7 tie in the second quarter. That capped an 80-yard drive set up by Jace Hill’s interception of a Stevi pass.

The Wildcats had two possessions end on downs deep in Yellowjacket territory, and gave up a 65-yard pass to Benjamin Gurnsey on a hitch-and-go on Stevi’s second possession.

Up 14-7 in the third quarter, Columbia Falls took advantage of a bobbled punt snap with a 23-yard drive, capped by Schweikert’s 11-yard scramble.

Schweikert then added a 13-yard TD strike to Reggie Sapa later in the third quarter, and hit Jace Duval on a fade for 7 yards and the final score in the fourth.
