Colin Cone went supernova, rushing for 95 yards and three TDs on only 12 carries, while also throwing for 25 yards and one touchdown. Those three rushing touchdowns gave him a new career-high. Another big playmaker for Haxtun was Kanin Koberstein, who returned a punt for a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Haxtun's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Seth Seger, Austin Knox, and Corbin Andersen, who each picked up one sack apiece. Seger was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, forcing one fumble, and making 12 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
