The Racine Threat took out their frustrations from last week on the Dane County Hawks Saturday.
Coming off of their first loss of the season, 20-13 to the Lake Geneva Generals last Saturday, the Threat rebounded in a huge way by beating the Hawks 72-26 in a Mid-States Football League game at Ameche Field in Kenosha.
The Threat (2-1 MSFL) scored on their first drive on a 5-yard run by former Racine Raider Bryan Jennings Jr. and never looked back, scoring 28 points in the first quarter and 21 more in the second quarter for a 49-6 halftime lead.
The score by Jennings was the first of his three touchdowns in the game. He also scored on a 6-yard run in the second quarter and capped the game with a 13-yard scoring run in the fourth.
Greg Sanders, who finished with 104 yards on just 12 carries, also scored three touchdowns. He had a 25-yard run in the first quarter, a 9-yard run in the second quarter and a 14-yard run in the fourth.
The Threat defense was led by by former Horlick High School standout Matt Ferron, who got a safety early in the third quarter, and the Threat also had five interceptions and a fumble recovery.
Racine kicker T.J. Hearn made all of his 10 extra point attempts.
The Hawks (0-3) scored with six seconds left in the first half and also had a fumble return for a touchdown in the third quarter and a 76-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the fourth.
The Threat return to action at 7 p.m. next Saturday at Ameche Field against the Lake County Steelers.
