CONRAD -- The BCLUW football team found success in its first 8-Man game, blowing out GMG 70-6 in a Week 9 contest here Friday.
The Comets (4-5) hosted the additional game to gain experience for its returners as BCLUW prepares to join the 8-Man ranks next season. It was a productive debut, scoring 32 points in the opening quarter on the way to a lopsided win.
BCLUW capitalized on three takeaways and held GMG (6-4) to 139 yards of total offense. Quarterback Elliot McIntyre finished 9-for-11 passing for 113 yards and four touchdowns, connecting with four different receivers on scoring strikes.
Avery Schipper, Will Feldpausch, Patrick McCready and Maddin Helms each had touchdown catches, while McIntyre, McCready, Ethan Shadlow and Eathan Petermeier each scored rushing touchdowns. Petermeier had six carries for 68 yards and Shadlow had four runs for 64 yards to lead the Comets, who needed just 298 yards to reach the end zone nine times.
Beau Towne had five tackles and a 31-yard interception return for a TD to lead the Comet defense. McCready totaled nine tackles, Schipper had seven and Shadlow had six. McCready and Aiden Barker both recovered fumbles.
GMG played without its quarterback and leading tackler Ethan Klemesrud, and the Wolverines struggled as a result. Easton Sash completed 4-of-7 attempts for 42 yards, and Liam Stephenson was 1-for-4 with a 36-yard touchdown pass to Sash. Bodie Hutchinson led the GMG ground game with 61 yards on 12 carries.
Sash had five tackles to lead the Wolverines, while Hutchinson and Jacob Snider had four apiece.
