After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Pratt, Halstead was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They blew past the Nickerson Panthers, posting a 49-0 win. The Dragons haven't had any issues with the Panthers recently, as the game was their seventh consecutive victory against them.
Halstead's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Edric Zorn, who rushed for 99 yards and a pair of scores, and also caught one touchdown. Those 99 rushing yards gave Zorn a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Noah Diehl, who picked up 131 receiving yards and a pair of TDs.
Special teams also deserves some recognition, posting 13 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Diehl, who ran a kickoff back for a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Halstead's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Cayden Cornejo was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself.
Halstead's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-2. As for Nickerson, they are on a six-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-3.
