It was a Bell Game for the record books Friday night. Rhinelander forced four turnovers - returning two for touchdowns - and dominated Antigo 42-0 at Mike Webster Stadium in the 87th playing for the Gene Shepard Hodag Bell.

Antigo held Rhinelander to its lowest offensive output of the season, allowing only 255 total yards, but Cayden Neri still scored three touchdowns - including back-to-back scores of 26 and 46 yards on screen passes to put the game out of reach in the third quarter.

Arik Beske got the Hodags on the board, returning a fumble 33 yards for a score late in the first quarter. After Neri scored on a nine-yard run to put Rhinelander up 14-0, Antigo drove down to the Rhinelander 19, but Cole Worrall intercepted Zach Zupon and returned it 88 yards for a score to give Rhinelander a 21-0 lead.

Caleb Olcikas had 113 yards on 11 carries, including a 53-yard score in the fourth quarter. Neri was held to 71 yards on 18 carries, but also had three receptions for 84 yards.

Rhinelander set school marks for most points scored and largest margin of victory in the Bell Game Series as it recorded its 10th shutout of Antigo overall.

Rhinelander (6-0, 4-0 Great Northern) travels to face fellow conference unbeaten Mosinee next Friday.

A full report will be published in Tuesday's River News.
