trampled by Tigers ends losing streak
Last Thursday, the Hep
pner Junior High football
team traveled to Stanfield
and lost to the Tigers 67-14.
A slow start, turnovers and
poor execution of plays and
tackling all contributed to
the lopsided score. This was
the first loss for this group
of eighth graders in junior
high football, as they went
undefeated all of last year
and had won their first two
games of this year.
Stanfield has a team of
very big lineman and strong
running backs. They scored
a touchdown on every pos
session. The Tigers also
scored on a fumble recov
ery and ran an interception
back for a touchdown.
The M ustangs did
have a few bright spots dur
ing the game. An 11-play
drive in the second quarter
resulted in a three-yard
touchdown run by Logan
Grieb. The point after was
run in by Caden Hedman.
