NIAGARA, Wis. — Brayden Bartels threw four touchdown passes and ran for another to lead the Niagara Badgers to a 58-8 rout of Wausaukee in a M&O Conference game Friday in Niagara.

“Our offense executed very well all game, and our defense forced four turnovers,” Niagara coach Benjamin Laarman said. “Everyone contributed, and it’s a win we can all feel good about.”

While the Badger offense clicked for eight touchdowns, it was a defensive play that started the whole onslaught, Laarman said.

“Sawyer Rouse made an interception on the second play of the game and that really set the tone for the night.”

Bartels started the scoring with a 17-yard pass to Wyatt Dunkes. Bartels followed with a 2-point conversion as the Badgers took an 8-0 lead.
