The St. Joseph Bears were in Kalamazoo Friday night to take on Kalamazoo Central. The Bears made it ugly early, scoring on two of their first three plays of the game. Matthew Lanier drew first blood with a 60-yard score on the ground. He followed that up with a 26-yard receiving touchdown from Riley Biggins. Trey McGinnis decided to join in on the fun with the next three scores, all coming on the ground. The first rushing touchdown came from 5 yards, the second from 14, and the third coming from 45 yards. This game was over in the blink of an eye as the Bears dominated the Maroon Giants 56-0.

Trey McGinnis was unable to be tackled in this game, rushing for 69 yards on 6 carries for three touchdowns. Matthew Lanier played a great game as well, he had 2 touchdowns through the air on three completions on four attempts. Lanier also had 2 carries for 64 yards and a touchdown. Jackson Lane and Thomas Moore had touchdowns on the ground and Riley Biggins and Bobby Nate had touchdowns through the air.

St. Joseph will face off against Lakeview next week, while Kalamazoo Central will look to bounce back next week against Portage Northern.
