Spencer Ruebke threw for one touchdown and ran for another to lead homestanding Ada-Borup to a 46-6 victory over Win-E-Mac in the Section 6 9-man semifinals Saturday.
Ruebke had 122 rushing yards and 51 passing yards.
"He's been the key for us all year," Cougars coach Mike Gullingsrud said. "He's able to get the ball into the hands of our playmakers and run our offense efficiently."
Ada-Borup wasted little time getting on the scoreboard. After forcing a three-and-out on Win-E-Mac's first series, Payton Kujava returned the punt 71 yards to make it 6-0.
Teammate Yuri Johnson added the next two scores to give the Cougars an 18-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

"Our line played a huge part," Waubun coach Justin McClouskey said. "It was the second straight game we were able to run for more than 300 yards."
