OSHKOSH – Marshfield got off to a quick start, scoring on its first possession, but it couldn’t stop Oshkosh North as the Spartans ran off six unanswered touchdowns and the Tigers dropped a 42-21 decision on Friday in a Valley Football Association South Division game at Titan Stadium.

Tyler Kujawa completed just 4 of 8 passes, but three of his connections went for touchdowns. He hit Sam Herkert on TD throws of 35 and 43 yards in the first quarter and tossed a 53-yard scoring strike to Cameron Sorenson in the second quarter that put North (5-3, 4-3 VFA South) on top 28-7 at halftime.

North led 42-7 before the Tigers scored two late touchdowns. Quarterback Tyson Slade, who threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Zach McManus in the first quarter, had a 4-yard scoring run in the final minute of the third quarter.

Nick Hoheisel added a 22-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to finish the scoring for the Tigers.

Hoheisel had his eighth-straight 100-yard rushing game, running for 160 yards on 25 carries.

North is now playoff eligible, while Marshfield was eliminated from postseason contention as it drops to 3-5 overall and 2-5 in the VFA South.
