North Scott upends Bettendorf in MAC title tilt, 17-0

With the MAC title on the line, North Scott turned the tables on Bettendorf Friday (10/27) using a tough running game and rock solid defense to post a 17-0 win.

The Lancers finished the season unbeaten at 9-0 and head to a playoff contest against Iowa City High next Wednesday. Bettendorf, ranked number one in the 4A state poll all season, will take its 8-1 record against 7-2 Muscatine in a first-round playoff game Wednesday at TouVelle Stadium.

Bettendorf managed a net 1 yard rushing in the first half, and trailed 3-0 at the break. In the second half, the Lancers rode on the back of their fullback Brodie Ambrose who rumbled for a 9-yard touchdown in the third period and then broke a 41-yard scamper as time wound down in the fourth quarter.

Bettendorf was playing the second game without returner and receiver Colin Sandeman who is nursing a knee injury suffered in practice. The Lancers, ranked third in the latest 4A poll, were without their starting quarterback who was out with an illness.
