Hillsboro successfully opened their 2019 season with a solid home win over Western Brown by the final score of 16-14. It was the third straight win over the Broncos ---- who had previously dominated the Indians.
.
Hillsboro scored all sixteen of their points in the first quarter, with the defense sacking Bronco quarterback Keegan Collins in the end zone for a safety; got a one yard touchdown plunge by Silas Simmons; and completed their scoring with a touchdown pass from Justin Spears to Hayden Hawk.
.
To secure the win, the Indians were relentless in pressuring the two quarterbacks who played for Western Brown in the second half.
.
While Hillsboro sputtered on offense for nearly two and a half quarters, the offense managed to keep the Broncos off the field until only a minute and eleven seconds remained in the game. On the Bronco's final possession, once again a sack took away any chance for a Western Brown comeback.
.
The Indians will seek a second consecutive win next Friday when they will host the Goshen Warriors. Catch the action with Stew Gardner and Aric Fiscus on WSRW 101.5FM/1590AM and heard worldwide on our free iHeart Radio app.
