When talking about this game, Mr. P said, “HD held D1 all-stater Kendall Cavanee to just 8 points and 2 made field goals and used a strong second quarter (outstanding Elm Creek 12-2) to pull away to advance to the state finals. Our inside game and ability to break the press were keys in this one. We scored from range, making it a lot easier on our offense.”
