MURPHYSBORO - At times Friday night, the Benton varsity football team looked like a squad that was hitting midseason form.
At other times, the Rangers had the appearance of a squad that had spent a month on the sidelines, unable to practice as a team, and had been forced to forfeit its first five games.
The Murphysboro Red Devils capitalized on three Benton fumbles and an interception on the way to a 19-16 victory over the Rangers in Ohio Division play of the Southern Illinois River-to-River Conference at Doc Bencini Field.
Murphysboro, which had ended a 28-game losing streak earlier this season by beating West Frankfort, improved to 2-4 overall, 2-1 in the SIRR-Ohio.
Benton, which indeed did forfeit its first five games while members of the Benton Education Association were on strike, fell to 0-6 overall, 0-3 in the SIRR Ohio.
"We didn't deserve to win," Benton coach Jeff Roper said. "We made too many mistakes."
Still, the Rangers were driving deep into Murphysboro territory when time ran out and the Red Devils celebrated a big Homecoming victory.
"We didn't know what we were going to get out of Benton because of the strike," Murphy coach Tommie Liggins said. "We just took what we had last year and tried to improve on it.
"We hope our kids know now that they can win - but they have to keep working at it," Liggins said.
Benton, trailing 13-8 at halftime, opened the third period with an 11-play, 65-yard drive that ended on Nathan DeSett's 9-yard touchdown run.
Quarterback Shane Smith's two-point pass to Corey Kelley had the Rangers ahead 16-13 with 6:20 left in the quarter.
Benton's defense forced the Red Devils to go three-and-out in its next possession. However, a fumble on the punt return gave the ball back to Murphysboro at the Benton 39.
Later in the series, Benton's defense appeared to have the Red Devils stopped with a fourth and 10. Heath Koberstein came in to attempt a game-tying 32-yard field goal - which he made.
A roughing the kicker call against the Rangers, though, gave Murphysboro a first down at the Benton 7. Two plays later, Anthony Oliver ran in a 6-yard TD for a 19-16 Murphysboro lead with 9:23 left in the game.
Benton turned the ball over on downs in its next possession, forced a Murphysboro punt and then had its fourth possession of the quarter end on an interception.
The Rangers got the ball back at its own 27-yard line with just over a minute to play. A couple of pass plays from Smith to Robby Hagerman and Eric McCollum helped move the visitors to the Murphysboro 31, but Smith's first-down pass fell incomplete as time expired.
Murphysboro scored first in the game despite being stopped at the Benton 5 on its first possession of the game. The Red Devils forced Benton to punt and then put together a seven-play, 32-yard scoring drive.
Quarterback Neal Schemonia scored on a 3-yard keeper with 0:07 showing on the clock in the first quarter, and Koberstein's PAT kick gave Murphysboro a 7-0 lead.
Benton scored its first TD of the season on its third possession of the game when Hagerman followed the blocks of Aaron Emberton and Smith and found some running room along the left sideline.
Hagerman raced 53 yards for a touchdown with 4:58 left in the first half. Smith faked a kick and then lofted a pass to Hagerman in the end zone for the two points and an 8-7 advantage.
McCollum came up with an interception three plays into the next Murphysboro possession, but the Rangers gave up the ball three players later with a fumble.
Jeremi Hale recovered for the Red Devils and took the ball 33 yards for a touchdown. The two-point run failed and the Red Devils settled for a 13-8 lead with 2:32 left in the half.
