There would be no playoffs on the line or to prepare for when Dodgeville headed to Richland Center for their SWC final game Friday but there still was pride at stake.

Sophomore Joey Recob grabbed a pass that resulted in a 15 yard touchdown to open scoring and Tanner Bockhop's conversion kick made it a 7-0 first quarter.
The Dodgers then exploded for 28 second quarter points that all but put the game out of reach.
Recob's three yard run started it and was followed with a 65 yard pass play from Stanek to Jack Hellmann.
Noah Johnson got Richland Centers lone score next on a 44 yard run but the Dodgers got right back at it.
Stanek rifled a pass to Josh Shepler for a 55 yard score then hit Mike Mikrut from 10 yards out.
Logan U'Ren scored on an 11 yard pass from Stanek to open the scoring in the third. Lance Johnsrud finished the scoring for the Dodgers with a 17 yard scamper.
