APPLETON – Marshfield ran just 14 offensive plays in the first half and scored seven touchdowns en route to a 71-6 victory over an under-manned Appleton West in a Valley Football Association game Friday night at Appleton West High School.

Brooks Hinson returned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown the first time a Tigers player touched the ball and that was just the beginning.

Penalties and a fumble recovered to Ethan Richardson set up Marshfield deep in West territory on its ensuing three possessions, all which ended in touchdowns – 6- and 4-yard runs by Mason Seidl and an 18-yard run by Braden Anderson – to put Marshfield up 29-0.

The Tigers (2-4, 2-2 VFA) scored three more times in the second quarter after three interceptions and pushed their lead to 50-0.

Appleton West scored its lone touchdown in the third quarter on a 59-yard pass from Payton Wiedeman to Parrion Peace.

Wiedeman finished 7-for-18 for 84 yards to six different receivers for the Terrors (0-6, 0-4 VFA).

Appleton West plays at Wausau West next Friday, Sept. 29, at 7 p.m.
