Ada rushed for a season-best 365 yards to pave the way to victory. Quarterback Zoladz accounted for 369 total yards and five touchdowns.

The Bulldogs improved to 6-3 overall and 4-3 in BVC play with the decisive road victory. The struggling Falcons fell to 1-8 overall and 0-7 in the BVC after the lopsided home loss.
