Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dexter). They blew past the Kelly Hawks, posting a 64-9 win. Considering the Bearcats have won three games by more than 33 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Dexter got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Langston Wernneck out in front who rushed for 106 yards and one TD. Those 106 rushing yards gave Wernneck a new career-high. Landon Annesser was in the mix too, providing Dexter with one score.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Dexter's defense and their three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Baron Greer, Kaydan Hart, and Annesser, who each picked up one sack apiece. Dexter received some extra help from Annesser, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
