NEODESHA — Humboldt High’s defense took a bit longer than expected to find its groove Friday.

The Cub offense, on the other hand, was humming along from start to finish.

Spearheaded by senior standout Conor Haviland, Humboldt erupted for 36 unanswered points — 30 after halftime — to roll to a 56-14 season-opening victory.

Haviland picked up where he left off from his highly decorated junior season, rushing for 249 yards and four touchdowns, the last one of which included a half-dozen or so broken tackles as he galloped 45 yards to paydirt.

Haviland aso rushed for scores of 47, 30 and 5 yards, all of which came after Neodesha scored in the waning seconds of the second period to pull within 20-14. His 47-yarder came on the final play of the half pushed Humboldt’s lead to 26-14.
