After the halftime show, Hazen scored two more touchdowns to add assurance to their 7-0 halftime lead. The High- landers had one of the best games ofthe season as the fantastic defense stopped Highline for a puny 5 yards rushing. During the evening Frank Reed scored twice and threw to Dirk Crump for the other touchdown as the entire Highlander offensive team outmanned Highline's defense. H6

Hazen 33 Evergreen 0 Hazen stretched its league record to 2-0 with an overwhelming 33-0 victory over Evergreen. Behind a well-polished offensive line, Hazen runners scrambled for 5 touchdowns-the longest being a 41 yard scamper by halfback Gary Reed. Hazen's strong defense held Ever- green to an unbelievable 8 yards rushing, thanks to the defensive front four of the Highlanders, while the backlield intercepted 3 Wolverine passes. Before the night was over, Hazen was to rush for 327 yards with Darrell Beane again leading the way with 128 and Gary Reed close behind with 96. Coach Bill Diambfi Hazen end Dirk Crump hauls in a pass as Wol- verine defenders move in for the kill. Hazen O - Kent-Meridian 22 Hazen's 2-0 league record was snapped by the Kent-Meridian Royals 22-0 in a game where Hazen just couldn't get going. The Royals, rated number four in the state, led at halftime 8-0 and then scored twice in the second half much to the dismay ofHazen fans. Hazen had many good gains which were called back at crucial times because of costly penalties and in doing so, had to give up valuable possession of the ball. The game turned into a defensive battle in which Kent got all the breaks including the recovery of three Hazen fumbles and the interception of a Tim Lambro pass.
