The Huskies look to respond with a score as well and this Aidan Gray pass to Peyton Seiple does the trick and puts the dogs on the redzone.
North punches it in with Danny Eloe
Danny Eloe gets the call and gets the short touchdown to put North up 7-3.
It’s the defense’s turn for some fun. Jackson Bauer bats away the pitch that turns out to be fumble and the next you know it’s Husky football.
The offense rewards the defense with another rushing touchdown this time from Cole Arl to make it 14-3.
Central’s Logan Ellison stops the Bleeding
