ADA - Visiting New Bremen scored touchdowns on six of its eight first half possessions, and rolled to a 51-21 win at Ada in the non-conference season opener Friday night at War Memorial Stadium.
The Bulldogs fell to 0-1 play with the loss, while NB improved to 1-0 after winning the first meeting between the two schools.
"They dominated us up front, it is no secret that was the story of the game," said Bulldog second-year head coach Shawn Christopher. "With the two turnovers and a (near) pick six, it got away from us quickly.
"Without those plays it is still a game at halftime instead of 41-7," he added.
