Junior WR Marcus Hughbanks hauled in four TD passes in the Bulldogs’ win over Goshen.
Batavia suffered their first conference loss and just their second overall loss to Clinton Massie on Oct. 18, getting blown out 41-8. Although that result clinched a conference title for Clinton-Massie, the Bulldogs still had a chance to finish the regular season at 8-2 when they hosted Goshen on Oct. 25.
Goshen came into this matchup at 2-7, having lost four of their last five.
Batavia received the opening kick-off, and drove into Warriors’ territory in just a few minutes, but faced a fourth and seven at the Goshen 32-yard line after a Marcus Hughbanks TD was called back due to a penalty a few plays prior.
That’s when QB Carson Harris threw a screen pass to Hughbanks, who made a man miss and went all the way to the house, giving his team an early 6-0 lead.
The Bulldogs then ran a fake extra-point play. Harris, who is Batavia’s holder, caught the snap and found Jaylin Lowe for the two-point conversion.
