URGENT UPDATE: The White Oak Roughnecks delivered a stunning performance, crushing the Queen City Bulldogs 69-6 on Friday at Roughneck Stadium. The Roughnecks, now boasting a perfect 4-0 record this season, overwhelmed the Bulldogs (0-4) with explosive offense and a relentless defense.
In a game that saw the Roughnecks score touchdowns on three of their first seven plays, White Oak quickly established dominance. Kenny Poul was a standout, rushing for 63 yards on just eight carries and scoring three touchdowns. Meanwhile, quarterback Jaxsen Ludlow shined by completing 5 of 11 passes for 103 yards and three touchdowns, while also adding 76 rushing yards with two additional scores.
The Roughnecks’ defense was equally formidable, forcing numerous turnovers and limiting Queen City to a mere 39 rushing yards on 31 carries. The Bulldogs’ quarterback, Paydon Glass, managed to complete 14 of 26 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown, but it was not enough to keep pace with White Oak’s relentless attack.
The game started with a blocked punt by Logan Ladwig, leading to an early touchdown connection between Ludlow and Tyson McKinney. After Queen City’s attempt at a fake punt failed, White Oak swiftly capitalized, extending their lead to 21-0 by the end of the first quarter.
Though Queen City managed to score with a 13-yard TD pass from Glass to Deketrick Smith in the second quarter, the Roughnecks quickly responded with two more touchdowns, heading into halftime with a commanding 42-6 lead.
The second half saw the Roughnecks continue their offensive onslaught, with Poul scoring twice more and Tysen McClain adding another touchdown reception. In a dramatic finish, Angel Mejia intercepted a pass during another failed fake punt attempt, returning it 29 yards for the final score, sealing the game at 69-6.
As the Roughnecks celebrate this impressive victory, they are set to host the Atlanta Hawks next Friday. Meanwhile, Queen City will look to regroup as they prepare to face the Hooks.
