The result was nothing new for Tucker County, who have now won eight games by 21 points or more so far this season.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Tucker County to victory, but perhaps none more so than Ethan Rosenau, who threw for 283 yards and five touchdowns while completing 78.9% of his passes. Maddox Anderson was another key contributor, picking up 167 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Tucker County's win was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 11-0.
