CANEY – Humboldt Middle School’s football team concluded the 2011 season a week ago Thursday. The Cubs did so in historic fashion.
“The Cubs have never beaten the Bullpups since the start of middle school football in Humboldt. That is no longer true,” said Matt Kerr, HMS head coach.
Humboldt rolled over Caney Valley 38-6. That put the Cubs’ final record at 4-3.
Corey Whitcomb had combined rushing and receiving yards of over 300. He had runs of 99 yards and one yard in the second period. Tyler Korte had a quarterback sneak for a touchdown and Bryce Isaac had a two-point conversion.
All the rest of the scoring was by Whitcomb. Tanner Orth caught two two-point conversion passes. Isaac was the leading tackler for the game.
“We as a team grew stronger as the season went on and got better,” Kerr said. “I’m proud of these young men.
