The Gremlins’ lone score at the opening of the second quarter was when Mason Martin snuck into the endzone.
The 7-6 score was the closest Karns City would get to evening things up. The Bulldogs took their next drive 70 yards over eight plays. Kahle finished the drive off with a four-yard touchdown scamper.
Before the half ended, Wagner found the end zone on an eight-yard run. He picked up right where he left off with a loft down the field to Kahle to up the score to 28-6 when the second half opened.
The final score came with 7:53 remaining in the third quarter as Drew Byers tumbled in for six from nine yards out.
