DEWITT - DeWitt football dominated Haslett, 45-0, in their annual rivalry game.

Rain poured during most of the game, but both student sections filled to the top.

Mainly on a running game, DeWitt was able to score on all of its first half possessions.

The Panthers' first touchdown comes easily on a fourth and eight conversion.

DeWitt's Allan Smith catches a 19-yard pass by quarterback Will Nagel with 7:48 left in the first.

A little over three minutes later, JD Ross runs 43 yards for another touchdown.

Both extra points were good, putting DeWitt at 14 and Haslett at 0.

DeWitt's momentum kept going in the second quarter with a one-yard touchdown run by Nicklas Kraus at the 10:13 mark.

The Panthers would go on to score a field goal on their fourth possession, but come back on their fifth with a 36-yard catch by JD Ross, followed by a 4-yard touchdown run by David Locher.

With 43 seconds left in the half, the Vikings would attempt to get through DeWitt's defense, but couldn't finish with the lack of time.

DeWitt lead Haslett, 31-0, at halftime.

The rain stopped for part of the third quarter, but the field was slippery nonetheless.

Haslett's Evan Block picks an interception from Nagel, putting the Vikings in the red zone for the first time.

After being sacked twice, Tibbits fumbles and DeWitt recovered.

Ross ran 60 yards for the Panthers' fifth touchdown of the game with three minutes left in the third quarter.

With just under five-and-a-half minutes left of play, DeWitt's Darron Weber Jr scores the Panthers' last touchdown of the game, putting them at 45 points.

In the last minute of play, Haslett took control and reached the red zone, but DeWitt's defense would not allow any Viking points on the board, capping the win, 45-0.

The Panthers improved to 5-1, while Haslett fell to 2-4.

The Vikings will host Waverly on October 7, and DeWitt will travel to St. Johns on the same day.
