Another shutout for Patriots

The Upton Sundance Patriots and Shoshoni Rams squared off for a final regular season football game on Friday in Casper. Staying true to their streak, the solid Patriot defense was able to shut out another team to help the Patriots maintain their winning ways.

The Patriot offense continued to be a force to be reckoned with as Brad Kruger, Jaydon Caylor and Jess Claycomb all found their way into the end zone throughout the first half. Claycomb and Caylor dominated the rushing game, going over 100 yards each on the night.

Upton-Sundance went to the passing game to start the second half, as quarterback Brad Kurger found Jess Claycomb on a 26-yard reception to put the Patriots up 27-0 to start the third quarter. The Patriot defense also contributed to the scoring as Jaydon Caylor blocked a Shoshoni punt and Patriot Craig Chandler was able to recover it in the end zone for another score.

Claycomb, Caylor and Eli Jones each ran their way into the end zone throughout the second half to help add to the 54-0 victory over Shoshoni.

The Upton-Sundance Patriots ended their regular season play with an 8-1 record. They will move into the playoffs as the #2 seed and will host the #3 seed Rocky Mountain in Upton on Friday, November 1 at 6 p.m.
