Behind a big night by running back Owen Carlson, the Kewaunee Storm routed the Marinette Marines 43-6 in Packerland Conference football Friday night.

 

The game started slowly before Kewaunee got on the board in the first quarter on a one-yard run by Carlson to make the score 7-0. 

 

Carlson would score two more touchdowns in the second quarter to give the Storm a commanding 21-0 lead.  Marinette would strike back quickly with a 76-pass from Lyric Anthony to Duncan Jackson with 1:17 left in the half.  The extra point was missed and the teams went into intermission with Kewaunee holding a 21-6 lead.

 

It would not take the Storm long to strike in the second half, as Carlson exploded for a dynamic 68-yard touchdown scamper on the first offensive play of the half to give Kewaunee a 28-6 lead.

 

Carlson would cap off his huge night with a 38-yard pass reception from quarterback Thomas Stangel on the first play of the fourth quarter to put the game away at 35-6.

 

Reserve Tyler Van Goethem scored Kewaunee’s final touchdown on a three-yard run with 3:45 to finish the scoring.

 

Kewaunee (1-0, 3-0 overall) will travel to Oconto next Friday to face the Blue Devils in conference play.  That game will be broadcast on 104.1 WRLU and streamed on New Radio Sports Network with the pregame set for 6:45 p.m. followed by the kickoff at 7 p.m.
