MERKEL — One thing is for certain: Merkel’s new scoreboard and videoboard at Badger Stadium are fully functional.

With the Badgers showing off their new improvements in their home opener, it was Clyde that landed the most body blows in a thrilling 69-57 win on Friday night in nondistrict action.

The game featured an astonishing six touchdowns in a span of 6:51 in the third quarter — a stretch that saw five touchdowns scored in a stretch of 13 snaps.
