Libby dominates Ronan 35-0 behind big plays, stingy defense

The Libby Loggers flexed their muscle on both sides of the ball Friday night, rolling to a 35-0 shutout road win over Ronan.

Quarterback Tristan Andersen accounted for two touchdowns, one through the air and one on the ground, as the Loggers improved to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in Northwestern A conference play.

Andersen’s 14-yard keeper in the first quarter opened the scoring, setting the tone for a night dominated by the Libby offense. Running back Ian Thom rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on nine carries, while Bransen Holzer added a 7-yard score and later electrified the crowd with a 50-yard punt return touchdown.

Isaac Lamere capped the scoring with a touchdown catch from Andersen, finishing with two receptions for 18 yards and three extra-point kicks. 

Libby finished with 272 rushing yards on just 20 carries, averaging nearly 14 yards per attempt. Andersen was efficient, going 5-for-7 passing for 39 yards, keeping the offense balanced and mistake-free.

The Loggers host Whitefish at 7 p.m. at Logger Stadium. Seniors with the football team and cheer squad will be recognized.
