CARLISLE — It wasn't a good night for the Carlisle Bison football team.

The Bison fell behind 20-0 in a 51-20 loss to the Hazen Hornets on Friday night at Fred C. Hardke Field.

The Bison got on the board early in the second quarter when quarterback Ty Golleher rumbled 59 yards for a touchdown. The two-point conversion was no good, leaving the score at 22-6.

The Hornets scored three third-quarter touchdowns to lead 51-6 with 2:17 left in the quarter.

The Bison added two fourth-quarter scores to account for the final score. Devon Kendrick scored on an 11-yard run with 3:15 left to make the score 51-12. 

Carlisle kicker Nicolas Duhoux attempted a perfect onside kick, with Tristan Seidenschwarz recovering the ball at the Hazen 45.

Six plays later, Golleher scored his second touchdown of the game on a 19-yard run. Kendrick added the two-point conversion.
