Hayden DeJong had a previous touchdown reception and Devan Parn added a one-yard touchdown run in that second quarter. In the second half, Siope Pulu had a 52-yard TD catch and Kendrell Carter scored on a short run.
Switzer was our Freeman Financial and Insurance Player of the Game. Unofficially, he was 17-of-22 passing for 331 yards and four touchdowns. The 8th ranked Bulldogs go undefeated in their first year in the Grand River Conference and take a 9-0 mark into the postseason. Brookfield receives a bye as the top seed in Class 2, District 8.
In a losing cause, Cody Rodgers carried the ball 28 times for 110 yards. The Tigers drop to 4-5 and wrap up 4-4 in their first year in the Grand River Conference. Marceline will be the fifth seed in Class 1, District 2 and will be off next week.
