Black Hills picked up its third straight win on Friday night, topping Hockinson at home 39-23.
The Wolves scored a touchdown in the first quarter to go up 7-3, and they added three more touchdowns in the second quarter to extend the lead to 29-3 at the break. By the end of the third, the lead was up to 39-3.
Quarterback James Ross finished with 220 total yards and four total touchdowns (three rushing and one passing), while Jesse Keith added 74 rushing yards and a touchdown on eight carries.
Marshall Orona added 63 rushing yards on 13 attempts, and Tyson Creekpaum tallied 74 receiving yards, all of which came on a touchdown reception.
“Our guys played really well tonight,” Black Hills coach Tom Spray said. “We ran the ball efficiently again, and (Ross) did a great job making reads in the option game.
Senior edge rusher Caden Murphy got to the quarterback twice for a pair of sacks, and freshmen Grady Reaves and Isaiah Charette both had interceptions.
After giving up a field goal on Hockinson’s opening drive, the Wolves didn’t allow another point until the fourth quarter.
“Our guys swarmed to the football all night,” Spray said. “I am extremely proud of the way our guys competed and continued to play with discipline and physicality from start to finish.”
Black Hills (3-2) will look to make it four wins in a row next Friday, Oct. 9, when it heads to Longview to face Mark Morris.
