Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hobart). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Highland Trojans 74-0. The Brickies pushed the score to 60-0 by the end of the third, a deficit the Trojans had no chance of recovering from.

Hobart's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Max Pickett, who rushed for 140 yards and a pair of TDs on only 11 carries. Pickett's longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Ryder Slaton got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Hobart proved: they limited Highland to a paltry 0.8 yards per carry. While one picked up at least four total tackles, Aiden Kasch stood above the rest. He rushed for 54 yards and one touchdown. Hobart didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 13.3.

Special teams was a major factor in the game for Hobart, racking up 14 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Nathan Sobczynski, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.

The victory was the third in a row for Hobart, bringing their record up to 7-2. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 48.3 points over those games. As for Highland, they dropped their record down to 2-7 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road.

Hobart and Highland are set to take part in some playoff action in their next matches. The Brickies will be playing in front of their home fans against New Prairie at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams might be coming in a bit winded given these two teams combined for 914 yards in their previous games. As for Highland, they will venture away from home to face off against East Chicago Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Trojans will be up against the Cardinals' rather soft defense (which has allowed 34.44 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
