(SANILAC COUNTY) – The Deckerville Eagles had a record-setting night in their demolition of the Genesee Wolves in 8-Man football.
The Eagles ripped the Wolves 82-48 as senior Ethan Bowerman set a new Michigan High School Athletic Association record by scoring six touchdowns in the first quarter.
Bowerman finished the game with 306 yards rushing on just 12 carries and scored seven touchdowns overall. The Eagles rushed for 632 yards on 45 carries and added another 62 yards passing.

Drew Hosterman added a third quarter rushing TD in a game that was penalty-filled with too many personal fouls on both sides. After opening the season with three straight home games, the Pioneers take on Imlay City this week on the Spartans’ home field.
