With a playoff game on the line, Halstead rose to the challenge on Friday. They blew past the Lakin Broncs 36-6. Considering the Dragons have won three matchups by more than 29 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Halstead's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Joey Millspaugh, who rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also picked up 45 receiving yards. Millspaugh is becoming a predictor of Halstead's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 2-4 when he doesn't). Breeson Bigley was another key back, rushing for 105 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
