CALEDONIA, Mich. — Caledonia went into week four undefeated and Hudsonville had yet to win a game this season, but we expected a competitive game when the Fighting Scots hosted the Eagles Friday night.
The Eagles jumped out to a 14-0 lead before Caledonia scored the next 40 points for a 40-14 win.
"It definitely gave us a little adversity so it was cool to see that we could handle that adversity and we could come back," Fighting Scots quarterback Mason McKenzie said. "It was really cool to see that from our team and I think that just makes us better going on."
McKenzie carriers the ball 21 times for 133 yards and also completed 4 of 8 passing for 53 yards and two scores.
Caledonia ran for 318 yards in the win.
"We were going to run the ball, and man, how about our o-line, our h-back blocking for Brock Townsend tonight." Fighting Scots head coach Derek Pennington said. "Unbelievable night for Brock, I don't know how many touchdowns he had, I feel like there was four or five out there, he had a ton of yards. Brock is a tremendous back, Mason did a nice job leading us all night, he hit a couple passes when we needed to, but we knew we were going to have to run it behind our o-line, our h-back and I am super proud of those guys."
Brock Townsend racked up five touchdowns Friday night, four rushing and one receiving, helping to propel Caledonia to the win.
"We knew coming into this it was going to be a run game," Townsend said. "We knew we were going to run all over them. Big shoutout to my offensive line, they definitely blocked really good for us. Beginning of the night we knew we were going to have to run it down their throat, and that is what we did. I'm not worried about me scoring, I'm just concerned that we win. I don't care how it's done just that we win."
The Fighting Scots improved to 4-0 with the win.
