The Seneca-Wauzeka-Steuben Bluegolds wrapped up a third place finish in the Six Rivers Conference and a home playoff game for the first time in 9 years with a dominating 66-6 win over the Boscobel Bulldogs this past Friday night at Seneca High School.

S-W-S controlled the game from the start, scoring 37 points in the first quarter alone. The Bluegolds added 15 points in the second quarter, six in the third and eight in the fourth quarter for the final tally of 66. The Bulldogs got their only score of the game off an 86-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the third quarter.

Cooper Lomas was 2-for-3 for 45 yards, one touchdown and one interception to lead the Bluegold passing attack. Kaden Roberts added to the team’s passing total by going 1-for-1 for 13 yards and one touchdown.

S-W-S had a pair of running backs each rush for 100 plus yards in the win in Hunter Hagensick (10 carries for 160 yards and two touchdowns) and Carson Sime (10 carries for 126 yards and one touchdown). The Bluegolds offense collected a staggering 454 rushing yards in the win. Other Bluegolds adding to that total were Gavyn Wilkins (six carries for 51 yards and two touchdowns), Gage Wall (four carries for 49 yards and one touchdown), Jax Wall (four carries for 34 yards), Cole Swiggum (five carries for 32 yards) and Roberts (one carry for two yards).

Three different players each had a reception for the Bluegolds in the win and they were Jackson Konichek (one reception for 42 yards and one touchdown), Lomas (one reception for 13 yards and one touchdown) and G. Wall (one reception for three yards). Sawyer Swiggum added a 46-yard kick return for a touchdown for S-W-S. Lomas added two PAT kicks, while Hagensick, Wall and Wilkins each had a two-point conversion during the game. The Bluegold defense was suffocating, allowing negative seven yards of total offense in the game. 

The Bluegolds (7-2 overall, 5-2 in the Six Rivers) received the number three seed in section two in D7. They will host six seed Ithaca (5-4 overall, 4-3 in the Scenic Bluffs) this Friday night at 7:00 p.m. in Wauzeka in a rematch of their week two game that they won 43-14 thanks in big part to a 30-point second half by S-W-S. The winner will advance to face the winner of the game between second seed Hilbert and seventh seed Pittsville. 

The S-W-S co-op is looking for their second playoff win ever as a program, and their first since 2017 when they defeated De Soto 16-0 in the first home playoff game in program history. The Bluegolds hosted another level one playoff game the following year in Seneca against Cuba City. The Cubans outlasted the Bluegolds 35-34 in overtime in that game.
