The Big Lake Hornet football team fell to Delano 28-6 last Friday at Delano. 

The first half was a back-and-forth defensive battle. Delano eventually took a 7-0 lead and held onto it heading into halftime. 

The Tigers extended that lead on the first offensive play of the second half with a 75-yard TD run. 

The Hornets were able to make it a one possession game in the fourth quarter, following a 38-yard touchdown pass from Dillon Spaeth to Carter Stromberg. However, the onside kick attempt was unsuccessful and Delano’s running game was able to seal the game, scoring two more times in the final minutes of the game to spell doom for the visitors. 

Spaeth finished 12-of-24 for 128 yards and one TD score. He also had  two interceptions. 

On the ground, Stromberg gained 69 yards on 16 carries, averaging nearly 4.5 yards a carry.

Through the air, Jack Midas reeled in four catches for 51 yards to lead the Hornets.

On defense, Trevor Couch had seven tackles while Parker Spaeth, Jackson LaRoche and Bennett Thieke all recorded interceptions.

The Hornets finished with 222 yards total while Delano recorded 467.
