Bonduel High School scored the first touchdown of the game at Amherst, but it was downhill from there, as the Bears lost 54-19 Friday.
The game got away from Bonduel (2-1, 0-1 Central Wisconsin Conference-8) early and the Bears entered halftime trailing 30-13.
“We had a number of penalties that killed our drives,” Bonduel coach James Westrich said. “Our offense could not get going.”
Bears running back Hunter VanderLinden found the end zone early in the first quarter with a 1-yard touchdown and added another from 5 yards out in the second quarter. The senior finished with 58 rushing yards on 17 carries.
Bonduel senior Hunter Berry exploded for a 51-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Berry had 11 carries for 66 yards.
Senior quarterback Colton Dobratz completed seven passes for 59 yards. Wide receiver and senior Danny Tauchen had 18 yards receiving on two catches.
Amherst (3-0, 1-0) was able to maintain possession of the ball led by quarterback Garret Groshek, who had 14 completions for 225 yards and two touchdowns. The Falcons balanced Groshek’s game with Brandon Piotrowski’s 82 yards rushing on 10 carries.
“We knew they were going to be tough, we knew they had a tough offense,” Westrich said.
The Bears also fumbled twice but forced no turnovers.
