Glencoe-Silver Lake makes it three straight wins

Glencoe-Silver Lake was 19-0 on the turf at Stevens Seminary Stadium entering Friday’s week one rivalry game with Hutchinson.

New Panthers head coach Scott Tschimperle made sure his first game wasn’t the one to snap the streak.

Glencoe-Silver Lake scored on three rushing touchdowns, while holding the Tigers scoreless until the final three minutes in a 20-7 win.

With former head coach Dave Dose in the press box, Tschimperle employed the same style of play that has won back-to-back state titles for the Panthers.

Sophomore quarterback Kyler Anderson and junior running back Aaron Lueders replaced three-year starter Matt Muenchow and star running back Dusty Jurek, barely missing a beat.

“Anytime you can beat Hutch, it’s a great start to the season. I always say win or lose, you know where you stand as a team. We knew our defense was going to be solid, but I think we learned a few things from our offense,” Tschimperle said.

“This is the same way we started last year, and we had a pretty darn good year,” Tigers coach Andy Rostberg said. “They are a pretty good team. But we have a ways to go.
