Turnovers in the first half and penalties in the second half served as the cause of offensive struggles for both teams. The Seahawks scored early in the second quarter to take a 7-0 advantage on an eight yard touchdown run. The Chiefs had two opportunities late in the second quarter to tie up the game, but fumbled the ball away on the Seahawk five yard line and started another drive at the Seahawk 14 as a result of an interception by junior Austin Arrington.

They scored on the next play, but were denied due to a holding penalty and the Chiefs wound up turning the ball over on downs right before the end of the half. Midway through the third quarter, the Seahawks put together an 11 play, 55 yard drive for another score to increase their lead to 14-0.

On the ensuing drive, the Chiefs drove 63 yards in 10 plays to get on the board, with a five yard touchdown run by senior Shakel Holmes on the first play of the fourth quarter. The extra point try by senior Brad Lowery was wide left, making the score 14-6 in favor of the Seahawks.

The Chiefs forced the Seahawks to punt after a time consuming drive and had one more shot to tie the game, but wound up turning the ball over on downs with two minutes left in the game. The Seahawks ran out the clock and finished with a 14-6 district win over the Chiefs.

The Chiefs finished the game with 146 yards of rushing offense, led by senior Jeremy Jackson with 73 yards on seven carries and junior Dustin Yuhasz with 47 yards on 14 carries. The Chiefs’ quarterbacks, senior Brad Lowery and sophomore Brandon Sheets, were a combined 0 for 6 passing, with Lowery throwing one interception.

The Chiefs gave up 206 yards to the Seahawks; 194 rushing and 12 passing. The defense was led by junior defensive lineman, Lonnie Gardner, with eight tackles and junior linebacker, Levi Gideons, with seven tackles. The Chiefs have an open week next Friday and will play again at Bozeman on September 25th.
