Brookfield Reclaims Bell

The Bell heads back to Brookfield after the Bulldogs defeated the Marceline Tigers 20-14 in the 87th Bell Game Friday night. Marceline drove 68 yards on its first drive of the game and it was capped off by a one-yard touchdown run by Caleb Stallo. Amos Baum found the endzone for Brookfield twice in the second quarter to give the Bulldogs a 14-7 lead at halftime. A high snap over the head of Marceline’s punter early in the third quarter gave Brookfield favorable field position and the Bulldogs took advantage.
