Clayton Plowman scored three second half touchdowns to lead Adair-Casey to a season-opening 52-26 win over rival CAM in a non-district 8-man football game Friday night in Anita.  Plowman carried the ball 36 times for 238 yards in leading a potent ground attack.  Adair-Casey jumped out to an early 14-0 lead on a Gunnar Dinkla to Jordan Wheatley 44 yard touchdown pass and a Traeton Jensen three yard TD run.  But the Cougars rallied to to take an 18-17 halftime edge.  CAM’s Dylan Amdor scored on touchdown runs of 65, 37 and two yards.  He also caught a 62 yard pass from quarterback Trevor McKee to set up the last scored to send them into the locker room with the lead.  But the second half was a different story.  Lead by an aggressive defense, the Bombers allowed only a fourth quarter touchdown run of 31 yards by McKee on a broken play.  Meanwhile Adair-Casey got those three TD runs from Plowman to go with two more touchdown scampers of 61 and 32 yards from Jensen.  Emmitt Wheatley also drilled a 45 yard field goal for Adair-Casey in the first half.  For the Cougars, Amdor carried 24 times for 147 yards.  McKee was eight of 20 for 124 yards passing for CAM.  QB Gunnar Dinkla connected on four of six for 101 yards, one TD and one interception.
