MOBRDGE – Aberdeen Roncalli kept it balanced on Friday. The Cavaliers used a balanced attack to pull away from Mobridge-Pollock for a 42-22 non-conference football win at Tiger Stadium. Roncalli coach Billy Young was pleased with the way the offense executed. “We finally got a rhythm offensively and we were able to move the ball up and down the field,” Young said. “Other than the turnovers, I’m really happy with the way we played on offense.” The Cavaliers, 4-1 on the season, piled up 332 rushing yards in the win. Young said it was important to establish the running game. “It’s huge because if you can’t stop the run, then it’s demoralizing to the opponent,” Young said. “We’re a run-heavy team. We’re a run-first team. It’s huge because you move the chains and set up big plays. If they can’t stop the run, then it’s really hard to win a football game.” Zane Backous had a hand in all six Roncalli touchdowns, passing for three touchdowns
