Wildcats Spoil Bulldogs Homecoming, 57-6

It was Homecoming Day for the Peetz Bulldogs, and after a close first quarter the visiting Fleming Wildcats put up 32 points in the second quarter to cruise to a 57-to-6 win over Peetz.

The loss moves the Bulldogs to 1-and-4 on the season.

Peetz started the game with the ball but were unable to gain any traction against the Fleming defense, and punted for a touchback. After Fleming’s first play went for a touchdown, a penalty called it back, but the Wildcats were able to quickly drive the length of the field and score.

A missed extra point kick made the score 6-to-0, and Peetz got the ball back and started to drive. On fourth down and long, freshman Rhyder Bane tried a pass to the flat that was picked off by Fleming senior Nolan Japp, and he went untouched the other way for a touchdown for the Wildcats first score of the second quarter.

The quarter progressed with Peetz’s run game getting stopped by the Wildcats and the visitors continued to score, and went into the halftime break leading Peetz 38-to-0.

A touchdown pass in the third quarter by Rhyder Bane was all the scoring the Bulldogs could muster as the Wildcats added another 19 points in the second half to take the victory, 57-to-6. Peetz rushed for 71 yards and passed for 124 yards in the loss. Peetz next hosts Briggsdale on Friday, kick off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
