The Chase County Bulldogs closed out the regular season with a 64-0 halftime win over Madison Friday night.
Chase County found the endzone eight times in the first half starting with a 34-yard touchdown run by senior quarterback Mitch Budke, 49 seconds into the ball game. Madison would turn the ball over twice on consecutive drives including a 31-yard scoop and score by Budke midway through the first quarter.
Budke ended the night with five touchdowns and 175 yards of offense. He says this was a statement game heading into the playoffs.
Head Coach Brody Vandegrift says this is a run his team has been building towards.
Junior Brock Griffin had a 35-yard rushing touchdown, Senior Cal Kohlmeier scored from six yards out and freshman quarterback Wyatt Griffin scored the final touchdown of the evening with a 73-yard run late in the fourth.
With the win, Chase County improves to 7-1 while Madison falls to 5-3. Chase County will host an opening-round playoff game next week while Madison travels to Oswego.
