FLASHER - The 14 points scored in the opening quarter would have been enough for Grant County-Flasher, as they went on to top 9-man Region 5 opponent Hettinger-Scranton 44-6, on Friday, Sept. 7 at home.
A safety, a 19-yard run from Thomas Bryant and a 2-yard run from quarterback Brett Gabrielson put the Storm up 14-0 in the first. Grant County Flasher added two more touchdowns in the second with a 15- and 28-yard runs.
After holding the Storm scoreless in the third, Hettinger-Scranton (1-3, 0-3 Region 5) scored in the final frame.
A 10-yard pass form sophomore Jeran Anderson found senior Kyle Burwick for a touchdown, but the kick attempt was no good.
The Storm (2-2, 1-2 Region 5) score twice in the fourth to seal the win.
