KNOX - Move over Batman and Robin, there is a new dynamic duo on the scene.

Matt Schandelmeier and Adam Cousins combined for 285 yards rushing and three touchdowns as the Moniteau football team rolled to a 31-0 victory over Keystone Friday.

"We came into the game tonight saying we needed to establish a physical presence up front," said Moniteau coach Steve Wilson. "And, to the kids' credit, they came out and did that tonight."

"We won the game up front tonight. … As coaches we typically say we want to win it on the line of scrimmage, and tonight we did."

Moniteau (3-2, 3-1) opened the scoring when Schandelmeier broke up the middle of the Keystone defense for a 15-yard score on the Warriors' opening possession.

Schandelmeier rushed for 156 yards on 22 carries.

Schandelmeier helped stake Moniteau to a 13-0 advantage by bursting through the Panthers defense for a 5-yard touchdown run.

Cousins scored his lone touchdown of the night on a 1-yard plunge with 5:27 remaining in the first half.

The two running backs combined for 207 yards rushing in the first half.

Schandelmeier, who rumbled 10 yards to the Keystone 1-yard line to set up the score, had made it into the end zone on the play, but he lost his helmet before he crossed the goal line, so the play was blown dead at the 1-yard line.

"You couldn't ask for much more out of a one-two punch because (Cousins) is so elusive and (Schandelmeier) is such a bulldozer," said Wilson. "But when Schandelmeier turns the corner, there aren't very many who can catch him."

With 8:05 left in the third quarter, Cousins booted a 31-yard field goal that gave Moniteau a 24-0 advantage.

Garth Kohlmeyer also got into the scoring act when he threw a 22-yard pass to a wide-open Ryan Protzman over the middle that gave Moniteau a 31-0 lead.

Kohlmeyer connected on 3 of 6 passing for 48 yards and one interception.

Kohlmeyer had a 21-yard quarterback draw that set up the touchdown pass to Protzman.

The Moniteau defense held Keystone to 86 total yards and six first downs.

"No matter what we do offensively, our kids will tell you we are a defensive football team," said Wilson. "They take pride in that and they want to come out and hit people."

The lone bright spot for Keystone (1-4, 1-4) was Derek Swartfager, who rushed for 47 yards on 16 carries.

"Their 11 guys played harder than our 11 guys," said Keystone coach Jason Nellis. "All I can tell you is we just physically got beat on both sides of the ball."
