Big first half downs North Mahaska

VICTOR

HLV was on the warpath Friday with a corral full of stallions and Warhawks in their sights. Those stallions rambled for 300 yards rushing and two early scores to defeat North Mahaska 26-12 in Class A football action Friday. The loss gave North Mahaska two losses in the district and will make a trip to the playoffs tougher.

Inability to make plays at crucial times and some mental mistakes kept momentum on the other side of the football. It also brought out frustration from coach Steve Ehret.

“You can’t spot a good team 12 points and win,” said Ehret. “We were undisciplined.

“We would do something good and take a step backwards. They got off the ball and we didn’t do anything.”

The Warhawks (4-2, 1-2) knew coming into the game that the HLV backfield was loaded with talent, strength and speed. It took only five minutes to find how potent the night could be when sophomore quarterback Bryce Kuesel connected with Bryce Hasley on a 44-yard pass to open the scoring. The play capped a 77-yard, 10-play drive, but the run failed. At the close of the quarter Hasley hit on a 23-yard field goal.

The key to the game was HLV’s running game. The Warriors celebrated their homecoming rushing 45 times for 311 yards. Senior Jacob Burns rushed 17 times for 150 yards. Hasley finished the night with 85 yards and senior Jon Faga added 73.

Hasley added another field goal in the second quarter for a 12-0 at halftime.

It looked like the Warriors were going to march right down the field with the second half kickoff and reached the North Mahaska 1 yard line after a return brought the ball to the Warhawk. On a first and goal, Kuesel dropped back to throw and aimed for the corner, but Warhawk senior Tyler Smith scampered 99 yards for the score, but the kick failed and NM trailed 12-6.

HLV (answered with a 10 play 80-yard drive to steal away the momentum. Smith snagged a 44-yard pass from junior Dylan Boyle to again bring the Warhawks within a score, but could not reach the end zone again.

Senior Jacob Davis was the workhorse on the ground for North Mahaska rushing 28 times for 103 yards. Boyle had 14 completions for 87 yards and an interception.

North Mahaska will host English Valleya on Friday at 7 p.m.

No. Mahaska 0 0 12 0 — 12

HLV 9 3 7 7 — 26
