Five different players scored six touchdowns for the Hazen High School football program this past week as the Highlanders picked up their second win of the season with a 41-26 victory at Evergreen.
Four of the touchdowns came on passes from quarterback Nolan Hoover.
Hazen jumped out to a quick lead on a 57-yard touchdown run by Ryan Wong, who added the extra point himself.
Next, Hoover picked up his first TD of the day with a 30-yard pass play to Marquise Lee to give the Highlanders a 14-0 lead.
But Evergreen answered back with a 7-yard touchdown pass of their own to pull it to 14-7. But that would be as close as they’d get all day.
Hoover responded with a 36-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Davis to give the Highlanders a 21-7 lead after the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Hazen kept rolling with Khali Ali catching a 21-yard touchdown pass from Hoover and Joe Glaefke taking the ball into the end zone on a 2-yard run play to make it 34-7 at the midpoint.
Evergreen scored first in the second half on a 1-yard touchdown run to cut the lead to 20, but Hoover again found Davis, this time for a 6-yard touchdown pass.
Evergreen rallied in the fourth, scoring 12 points on a 15-yard run and a 70-yard pass, but the Highlanders were able to hold on for a 41-26 victory.
Hazen, 2-4, travel to Bainbridge Friday.
