Watford City, ND (NEWSDAKOTA.com) – The Hi-Liners made the long road trip up to Watford City and were able to take down the Wolves by a score of 45-7.

The Hi-Liners came out of the gate firing. On the second play of the game Gavin Gerhardt made a 63 yard touchdown run to get the Hi-Liners up early. They would score on their second drive of the game, after a Gavin Gerhardt interception, with a 6 yard Ethan Miller touchdown run. The first quarter would end with a Hi-Liner 14-0 lead.

The Watford City Wolves were not to be counted out as they would score off a Tyler Jones 32 yard touchdown reception cut the lead in half. However the Hi-Liners would strike back with Gerhardt’s second touchdown run on a 6 yard run. The half would end with Valley City up 21-7.

The second half would start much the same way after an Ethan Miller interception turned the ball over to the Hi-Liners. This would be followed by a 40 yard Miller touchdown run.  The rest of the 3rd quarter would see dueling turn overs with a Wolves fumble recovery being followed by a Zach Sykora interception. After the Sykora interception Bryson Heck would find Aiden Jacobson in the endzone for a 21 yard touchdown pass. Miller would cap off the 3rd quarter scoring with a 25 yard touchdown run on their next drive. The Hi-Liners would be up 42-7 after three quarters of play.

Bryson Heck would be the only person to score in the 4th quarter with a 20 yard field goal.

The final score would be Hi-Liners 45 and the Wolves 7.

The Hi-Liners defense would allow the Wolves to get only a single first down the entire second half.

Ethan Miller would be named the Ivy Real Estate Group Player of the Game.
