Big time week for the history of Hughson! Haven’t beaten Hilmar in 14 years. First perfect run through the league since 1998. We have a lot riding on this game and how we play. I know that I need to be firing on all cylinders to get this win. It’s very hard to go undefeated in the league. The day was going to be similar to last week with me getting recovery and eating then getting all my stuff ready to go to the bus. We left around 4:30 and we got there around 5 which is when the Junior Varsity game started. I made sure I got all my stretches done and ready to go onto the field to get some throws in with my receivers and get some good chemistry in. After that, we headed to the locker room to get our gear on and get ready to do a team stretch. We knew we had a lot to play for because it is very hard to go undefeated in our league. On that note, we were ready.
Game Time! We lost the toss and they deferred till the second half, giving us the ball to start. We did not start out the greatest with a stalled out drive. Our defense came up with a clutch pick to give us good field position and we did not capitalize on it by a turnover, but our defense holding strong once again gets us the ball back and it gets picked off and returned for a touchdown. At this point, I know that I need to step up and flush all what’s happened so far. Bang! We start a commanding drive and score Bryce’s receiving touchdown. This made the score 7 all after the first quarter. We got the ball back and scored once again. Then, back to back we scored again right before the halftime mark and we came into half with a 21-7 lead. After halftime, they started out by scoring and we went down and scored again. At this point, I knew they couldn’t stop us and the only thing that could would be us. After a nice grab by Malikai, we scored once again. They kicked a field goal after that and we went to a heavy set formation, taking 8 minutes off the 4th quarter to ice the game. This took the wind out of them and we ended up winning 41-24. Now we look to see what the playoffs bring to us.
