The Inman High football team went to Belle Plaine on Thursday for their 2019 season opener and came home with a 14-0 loss despite good ball movement on offense.

Keepint the Teutons out of the end zone had much to do with turnovers as they gave up two fumbles and two interceptions that stopped offensive drives.

Nate Shober was a bright spot for Inman as he ran the ball for 111 yards on his 17 carries while Carter Brown managed to hit for five yards a pop as he gained 25 yards on just five carries.

Sophomore Jace Doerksen managed to complete 50% of his passes, hitting on 6-of-12 for 52 yards, but also threw one interception.

It was the Teuton defense that kept them in the game as they gave up just 221 total yards.

“I thought we played well at times,” said Teuton Head Coach Lance Sawyer. “Our defense played really well. We just can’t turn the ball over three times inside the 20-yard line and expect to win the game.”

Inman will make it’s 2019 home debut on Friday, September 13 when they host Hutchinson Trinity.
