Pardeeville opened up a a close game with a 28-point second quarter, and Pat Banks scored four touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs to a 49-8 victory over host Johnson Creek on Friday night.

Pardeeville also got a big night from senior quarterback Jesse Kath, who completd 3-of-4 passes and teamed with Banks to help the Bulldogs tally 400 yards rushing.

"He's getting more comfortable and that's what we need," said Pardeeville head coach Mike Haynes. "He's going to be a big part of this offense, the way we run it."

The Bulldogs also didn't turn the ball over, something that has been a point of emphasis for Haynes.

"As long as we don't turn the ball over and put our defense in a bad spot, I'm pretty confident about people (not) going 80 yards on us," Haynes said.
