Briggsdale Soars Past Peetz, 49-14

Peetz's Bulldog Football team hosted the Briggsdale Falcons on Friday, and after a competitive first quarter, the Falcons were able to shut down the Bulldog's offense and used a big fourth quarter to notch a 49-to-14 win against Peetz.

The game was close in the first quarter as the Bulldogs were able to score a touchdown and slow the Falcons' offense in the early going. But Briggsdale found their rhythm and put up two touchdowns in the first quarter to take a 14-to-8 lead. In the second quarter, Peetz was unable to generate any offense while the Falcons put up two more scores to give them a 28-to-8 lead at the halftime break.

The teams battled through a scoreless third quarter, but the Falcons got back on track offensively in the fourth quarter, and added 21 more points to close the game and earn a 49-to-14 victory.

The quarterback trio of Rhyder Bane, Logan Vallier and Colton Howell threw 11 passes and completed six for 102 yards and a touchdown. Rhyder Bane rushed 17 times for 151 yards and a touchdown while Noah Naegele caught two passes for 16 yards and a touchdown. Peetz was able to move the ball with 170 rush yards and 119 passing yards, but struggled to put the ball in the end zone.

The loss moves the Bulldogs to 1-and-5 on the year. They next travel to Seibert on Friday to match up with the 1-and-5 Patriots.
