EUREKA — Humboldt Middle’s football team went on the road and ran all over Eureka Thursday.
The Cubs (3-0) jumped on the board immediately, as Remington Strickler returned the opening kickoff 75 yards to the endzone for the early lead.
Humboldt rushed for three more touchdowns in the first quarter alone. The first was a Truman Grzybowski 18-yard touchdown run before Mason Miller brought in a six-yard touchdown catch. Ty Shaughnessy then scampered into the endzone from 19 yards out for the 28-0 lead.
Humboldt scored two more touchdowns in the second quarter when Strickler dashed for a 32-yard touchdown run before Grzybowski went for a 14-yard touchdown run. The Cubs led Eureka at halftime, 42-6.
Miller went for another touchdown in the third quarter. With a comfortable lead, the Cubs distributed playing time to those with less experience and finished the game with a 50-6 victory.
Defensively, Envy Oberbeck had a team-high five solo tackles while Weston Johnson went for three tackles, two of which were for a loss. Shaughnessy had three tackles, and Miller had two tackles and a fumble recovery.
Humboldt hosts Caney Valley on Thursday at 6 p.m.
