After an unsuccessful foray into the Class A ranks last week, second-ranked Eureka got back in the win column Friday night with a victory over the streaking Anaconda Copperheads.
Other teams in the top 5 of the MTN Sports power rankings had a relatively easy go of it, as well. No. 1 Manhattan and No. 3 Malta won big, while No. 4 Glasgow used a strong second half to pull away from Fairfield.
Key Week 5 matchup: No. 2 Eureka 26, Anaconda 0
Rogan Lytle scored twice in the first half on short runs and then threw a touchdown pass in the second half as the Lions thwarted any hopes of an upset bid by Anaconda, which came into the game having won three in a row after a season-opening loss.
Eureka rebounded from last week's loss to Class A Whitefish, and recorded its second shutout in four games.
