Derek Wortman scored two of his five touchdowns in the second quarter. His first was a 20 yard TD run, with Noah Lilly catching the EP pass from Brayden Zimmerer, and then he had a 79 yard run, and ran in the extra points for a 22-0 lead at the half.
The Bulldogs took the 2nd half kick-off and scored in just a few plays as Derek ran for a 25 yard TD. Later Brayden finished out the third quarter scoring with a 6 yard run. Bulldogs led 34-0.
In the 4th quarter, Brayden scored another TD on a 5 yard run, Derek ran in the EPs. Then Derek scored on a 41 yard run and ran in the EPs for a 50-0 lead, Derek then added the final TD with a 55 yard run, and Thad Hazen caught the EP pass from Brayden.
