Niagara raced to a 41-0 halftime lead and went on to defeat Goodman-Pembine 47-16 in eight-player football Friday.

Sawyer Rouse ran for two Niagara TDs and threw scoring passes to Owen Dunkes and Myles Laarman.

Landon Sweig added two rushing touchdowns, while Dunkes also ran for a score.

“It was a great Homecoming night,” said Badgers coach Ben Laarman. “We had great support from the school and community, and we had a blast playing in the game.”

Sweig led the rushing attack with 82 yards on nine carries. Rouse carried four times for 49 yards and completed 3 of 7 passes for 69 yards.

Jackson Schroeder, Mason Whaley, Parker LaFave, Logan Westrich, Jesse Wahlstrom and Laarman were among the defensive leaders. Dunkes had an interception.
