STRATFORD – Stratford scored five first-half touchdowns and put away Horicon/Hustisford 48-14 in a WIAA Division 5 Level 1 football playoff game Friday night at Tiger Stadium.
The Tigers (10-0) extended their winning streak to 22 in a row dating back to last year and will host a familiar foe in Amherst (8-2) in a Level 2 matchup next Friday, Nov. 1. Stratford defeated Amherst 48-20 in a Central Wisconsin Conference Large Division game back on Oct. 11.
Brooks Vanderhoof had a 1-yard touchdown run and quarterback Jack Tubbs hit a streaking Caleb Wrensch down the middle on a fourth-down play for a 47-yard score to give Stratford at 14-0 lead after one quarter
The Tigers poured in on the second as Tubbs ran in from the 12 and Jett Schoenherr plowed in from the 2 to make it 28-0 with just 2:03 to go before halftime.
Horicon/Hustisford struck for a couple of big pass plays, including a 23-yard touchdown from Barrett Meyer to Caleb Peplinski, but the Tigers responded with a quick scoring drive just before halftime with Tubbs connecting with Coltan Breit for a 17-yard TD pass and Stratford took a 35-7 lead into halftime.
Schoenherr had a 15-yard TD run and Tubbs threw a 68-yard bomb to Alec Chapel for another score in the third quarter as the Tigers went up by 41.
Tubbs finished with his second 300-yard passing game of the season, going 13 of 15 for 323 yards. Chapel hauled in four catches for 136 yards and Wrensch caught three balls for 121 yards for the Tigers.
