HUMBOLDT — For the better part of two quarters, a highly anticipated showdown between unbeaten Humboldt and Eureka High proved up to the advance billing.
The Cubs scarcely flinched when Eureka threatened to score early in the contest, and a Trey Sommer 1-yard plunge put the Cubs on top, 6-3, with 3:50 left in the half.
But a Tornado touchdown in the waning moments of the half proved to be a harbinger of things to come.
