Much like on a game show where everyone wins a prize, it seemed like every Husky was going to get a touchdown during their Homecoming game Sept. 23 against the Flandreau Flyers. The Huskies had 6 different players break the plane and add to the Huskies victory, with successful passes and handoffs from Noah McDermott and Keaton Gale. Carson Timmins was 7/8 on PATs for the night. “[The] best part of the game for me was the fact that we had 6 different guys score touchdowns, and 2 different QB’s throw TD passes,” head coach Jake Terry said. “It’s great when we can get that many guys those opportunities.”
