Point Shuts Down Tigers in Homecoming Game
By Brandi Makuski
Facing some of the best rushing in the conference, SPASH emerged victorious over its 2015 Homecoming game against the Marshfield Tigers 48-21.
The win makes the Panthers eligible for conference playoffs.
But the scoreboard looked very different in the first quarter, which found the Panthers trailing 14-0. The lead was answered was the powerhouse running back team of Victor Kizewski and Gus Turner-Zick, who ran for a combined 272 yards and scored five touchdowns.
But the game wasn’t devoid of some problems. The 4,000-plus crowd, along with coach Pete McAdams, had their share of choice words for game officials over a number of calls, including one of targeting against SPASH’s Patrick Dietzman. Dietzman was ejected from the game with about 1:30 remaining, and will also miss the team’s next game against Oshkosh West.
SPASH now improves its overall records to 5-2. The Panthers next take on Oshkosh West at Goerke Park at 5 PM.
