Some things never change when it comes to playing the Webster City Lynx on the football field and that means running the football.

Last Friday night (Sept. 25) in Webster City, the host Lynx employed their ground-oriented offense and capitalized on Humboldt turnovers to grind out a 21-7 victory over the Wildcats to begin Class 3A District 1 play.

The Lynx got two touchdowns runs by Kaleb Hansen and added another in the fourth quarter to pick up their first win of the season as they moved to 1-4 overall, 1-0 in district play.

Humboldt’s only points came in the fourth quarter on a 45-yard touchdown pass from Noah Elman to Dawson Sleiter. Humboldt falls to 0-5 overall and 0-1 in district play. They return home the next two Friday nights to host Algona and MOC-Floyd Valley, respectively.
