Peetz Plows Through Flagler, 62-6

Peetz’s Bulldog Football team capped their Homecoming Week with a big win against Flagler, seemingly scoring at will against a Panthers team that only had six players suited up for the contest. It was a bit of payback for a big loss the Panthers handed the Bulldogs last year, a 72-to-27 rout in Seibert.

Peetz scored 20 points in the first quarter, then another seven in the second before the Panthers were finally able to get on the board with a touchdown of their own. Flagler junior Camden Bledsoe caught a long pass then was able to evade the Peetz defense and bring it all the way to the end zone for six points. But Peetz senior Aiden Curtis answered right back, taking the ensuing kickoff back 65 yards for a touchdown to extend the Bulldog’s lead to 33-to-6.

After forcing another Flagler punt, Peetz sophomore Brayden Weinbender got wide open and hauled in another pass for a touchdown to extend the score to 39-to-6, while the tired Panthers struggled to keep on the field. Curtis again scored on a six yard touchdown run, making it 45-to-6, and then after stopping Flagler deep in their own territory, a bad snap on a punt sent the ball out of the end zone for a safety, increasing the Peetz lead to 47-to-6 going into the half.

The Bulldogs scored 15 more points against the overmatched Panthers in the second half, ending the game by a final of 62-to-6 and moving the Peetz record to 2-and-0 on the season. Peetz is at home again on Friday, hosting the Briggsdale Falcons.
