Offensive explosiveness and defensive tenacity went together like a hand-in-a-glove Friday for the Humboldt Wildcat football, just as they have all season.
The result was a 39-0 mastery over the Humboldt-Dumont/CAL Bulldogs in the first round of Class 3A football playoff action in Pod C.
Will Orness let his legs and fingers do the talking as he rushed for two touchdown runs and passed for another. He finished with 76 yards on the ground and 101 yards through the air on 6-8 completions.
Lance Coon was a force getting yardage and putting the ball in the end zone as he ran for scores of 2, 11 and 14 yards. On the night he ran for 166 yards on 18 carries, an average of 9.2 per rush.
Trevor Beach accounted for nine of the Wildcat points, catching a 3-yard pass from Orness with no time remaining in the first half and adding three point-after kicks.

By KENT THOMPSON
An expanding animal practice called for more space, so after a year in the making, the new Harmony Animal Hospital at 1103 13th St. N. in Humboldt is open.
Actually, the business never closed during a year’s worth of construction.
“The new building was (partially) completed and we moved in and started seeing patients on July 5,” Dr. Culley Holm said. Dr. Holm and Dr. Erin Kramer purchased the former veterinary practice from Dr. Dean Harmon in April 2017. The name was changed at that time from Harmon Animal Clinic to Harmony Animal Hospital.

This Twin Rivers Elementary student practices his pumpkin carving skills last week. Submitted photo.

In this week's Humboldt Independent there was a story about Halloween activities in the area. One paragraph was inadvertently misplaced in the article. There will not be free hot dogs offered as part of the Humboldt County Historical Museum Trick or Treat night on Saturday, Oct. 29. The free hot dogs will be part of the Trunk or Treat event at the LifeGate Fellowship Church on Highway 169 North, also on Oct. 29, from 4-6 p.m. The Humboldt Independent apologies for the error. The correct article is printed in its entirety below.

On Oct. 24, at approximately 2:05 p.m., members of Humboldt County Conservation found an item that appeared to be an IED located at the base of the natural gas main located near the intersection of 3rd Avenue South and Gotch Park Road.
