The Kewaunee Storm extended their win streak to four on Friday night, rolling past Mishicot 58-30 to improve to 4-1 on the season. Quarterback Brett Paulsen was at the center of the offensive outburst, throwing five touchdown passes and adding a rushing score as the Storm piled up points from the opening drive. 

 

Paulsen found Dane Harrell, Waylon Delain, and Diesel Bosdeck for first-quarter touchdowns, giving Kewaunee a 21-6 lead after one.

 

Mishicot battled back behind quarterback Ben Backus, who connected with Gabriel Kunz on a pair of long touchdowns and Camden Fick in the end zone. The Indians also got a defensive spark when a screen pass was fumbled and scooped up by Brylee Garcia for a touchdown, trimming the deficit to 28-22 at halftime. Kewaunee nearly struck again before the break, but an interception at the Mishicot 3-yard line kept things close.

 

The Storm pulled away in the second half. A fumble recovery by Garrett Lefevre set up a Paulsen rushing touchdown to open the third quarter. From there the ground game and Paulsen’s arm controlled the action, with Delain adding a rushing touchdown and Paulsen finding Alec Carlson and Bosdeck for more scores.

 

Backus continued to make plays for Mishicot, highlighted by a 65-yard strike to Kunz, but the Storm defense delivered when it mattered. Connor Kilgore intercepted a pass after pressure from Blake Bortolini, and Paulsen added a pick of his own in the fourth quarter to slam the door.

 

Kewaunee’s explosive offense and timely takeaways proved too much for Mishicot, and the Storm’s winning streak reached four games.

 

The Storm plays Sturgeon Bay next week. The game will be carried on 104.1 WRLU beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show, followed by the kickoff at 7 p.m.
