Southland Runs Their Way To 46-14 Win Over Spring Grove

In our game broadcast on FUN 104, it was the Southland Rebels using a tremendous running game to take down the Spring Grove Lions. Brendan Kennedy was the story as he displayed his all-around game with over 100 yards rushing and receiving in this one and added in three touchdowns.

Southland jumped out quickly with the first 3 scores of the game, going up 20-0 in the 2nd quarter including two touchdowns from Kennedy and one from Christian Luthe. Eli Solum then struck on a 49-yard touchdown pass to Carson Gerard to make it 20-7.

The scoring continued in the 2nd half as Luthe ran in his second of four scores on the day in to make it 26-7, and then Kennedy scored his third touchdown and it was 32-7.

Spring Grove was able to take on a score before the half when Tysen Grinde connected with Caleb Griffin to make it 32-14 at the break.

Southland's offense was just not going to be stopped today, as Luthe found the endzone again to make it 39-14 and once more to make it 46-14 to bring his total to four touchdowns on the day.

Spring Grove turned the ball over four times in this one, and that was the big difference-maker in this one as Southland was able to capitalize and run the ball successfully to get the 46-14 win. Southland is now 3-2 on the season and Spring Grove fell to 2-2.
