Nate Kelley Delivers Electric Performance Vs Hastings
Nate Kelley was instrumental in extending Scottsbluff's winning streak to three on Friday. Kelley turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 99 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 108 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
Hastings's probably not too fond of Kelley given he always seems to get the better of them. Kelley rushed for 114 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.
