Wayland scored its first O-K Gold Conference football victory in two years Friday night by besting Kenowa Hills 34-19.
Meanwhile, the Hopkins varsity football offensive juggernaut just keeps getting more impressive as the season progresses.
The Vikings put 56 points on the scoreboard in a 56-21 merry romp at Comstock Park Friday night to register their fourth straight victory. So they’ve scored 25, 33, 42, 48 and 56 points in their five contests this fall, for a total of 204, an average of better than 40 per game.
Wayland hadn’t beaten a league opponent since the Covid-marred 2020 season, though the Wildcats this year have registered three victories overall against two losses.
Hopkins scored at Comstock Park in the first two minutes of the ballgame and led 14-0 early in the second quarter, They tacked on three more TDs, the last one in the last minute of the half to mount a 35-14 cushion at intermission.
Hopkins even kicked a few extra points during the evening, something teams from not long ago struggled with.
The Vikings now are 4-1 overall and 3-0 in the O-K Silver Conference. They have three more league games left. It’s the encounters with Belding and Sparta that will decide who wins the conference crown.
