MARATHON – The Stratford football team wasn’t about to look past Marathon with so much on the line.

The Tigers ripped off a 41-8 win in a Marawood Conference game on Friday night at Marathon High School for their seventh-straight victory.

With the road win, Stratford (7-1 overall, 5-0 Marawood Conference) will host Edgar (8-0, 5-0 Marawood) in what amounts to be the conference championship game next Friday, Oct. 12, at Tiger Stadium, in the final regular-season game of the season. Edgar slipped past Rib Lake/Prentice 14-0 on Friday.

Kade Ehrike ran for 141 yards and two touchdowns, Derek Marten added two TD runs, and Max Schwabe completed 7 of 8 passes for 108 yards and two scores, both to Okley Wrensch for the Tigers. All of Stratford’s scores came in the first half as it dominated from the start.

Stratford outgained Marathon 437-177 overall.
