On Friday October 9, 2009 the home Hay Springs Hawks played against the Hyannis Longhorns. This game was our Homecoming game. It was a very cold, windy night, snowing for the entire game. But the boys played their hearts out despite the miserably cold weather.
Tanner L. lead in passing with 2 completed passes, 9 attempts, and 32 total yards and 1 touchdown. Heath L. lead in rushing with 33 attempts, and 235 yards. Trenton K. and Heath L. both had 16 yards in receiving with 1 complete. Also Trenton and Heath tied in tackles. They both had 14. Overall, Heath L. had 20 points and Travis K. had 2 points.
I asked Heath L. and Chris C. for their opinions of the game and this is what they gave me, “It was a very tough game because of the cold weather. It was the best game we played all year in the snow.” We all wish the boys the best of luck in the rest of the season. We hope that the weather will improve so that the fans can come out of their cars and cheer the boys on.

The defensive line at work.
Heath and Tanner looking for danger.
Breaking the line.
The first football game of the year was on Friday, September 4 against the Crawford Rams. It was a very exciting game, with the Hawks scoring in the first two minutes of the game. In the first quarter the Hawks were up 6-0, but by half time the Rams had pulled ahead 16-6.
After many attempts to stop the Rams the Hawks failed. The game went on with the Hawks falling farther behind. The final score was a disappointing 20-38. Even more disappointing was that Trent K. dislocated his kneecap during the game, and Dustin L. dislocated his shoulder. These two injuries detrimental to the team.
Wacey Schmid led the team with 7 tackles and 10 assists. Heath Lee lead the team in receiving with 60 yards, he also led in rushing with 55 yards. Tanner Letcher passed for 197 yards. For more stats go to MaxPreps.com
Fundamentals 90% of the Time

Tackling and fundamentals are an important part of football. In fact, they may be THE most important part! This certainly seemed to be the case at the summer football camp which took place in July right here at the HSHS stadium.
Most of the Hawks football team and junior high boys went to the camp. It was at Hay Springs School and Mike Spiers and his assistant coach were in charge of it.
I asked Jake, Trenton, Travis, Dustin, Heath, Chris, and Marcus what they learned and what they thought about the camp. Travis, Heath, and Chris said they learned how to tackle and a lot of stuff about football. Dustin said he learned how to block and tackle and he liked it because there was a lot of fundamentals for the younger kids. When asked how this camp compared to other football camps he had been to Jake replied, “It’s about twice as good as Chadron’s camp.” Trenton said the most important thing he learned was “…tackling fundamentals because we did that 90% of the time.”
The camp had lots of drills and techniques on tackling,and they gave out free shirts. There were a lot of people there and the guys felt that it was worth their time and effort.

Tigers Claws Too Sharp for Young Hawks

The junior high Hawks played the Oelrichs Tigers on September 22, 2009. It was a difficult game for the young Hawks and one in which Stevin H. was injured. The Hawks where already playing short handed so Stevin’s broken arm was especially maddening.
The overall score was 15-32. The green and gold did throw for a touch down. Afterward they chose to try a 2 point conversion which they made! Defensively Riley A. had 1 sack as a high light.
The Hawks will play Hemingford on September 26, 2009. They will play at Hemingford. Good luck Junior high.
Domination

The Junior Hawks met up with the Crawford Rams on September 17th. The Hawks led the Rams home on a leash! CHS managed to return the kick off, but that’s as far as they could go in the first half. At the end of the first two quarters , the score stood at 40-0 in favor of HSHS.
The second half was much less exciting. At the game’s end the scoreboard read 46-6. The young Hawks had their first win! When asked for one word to describe the game, Stevin and Joey both said “Domination”
