"We won the battle up front," said Hoisington coach Zach Baird. "The guys settled down and executed offensively. We played fast and executed. Wyatt Wikum played extremely well. It was his best game. He made plays in all facets of the game."
Norton's Garrett Urban provided all of the Bluejays' offense with 64- and 79-yard touchdown runs and a 87-yard kickoff return.
"Defensively, we got off blocks and rotated guys on the defensive line," Baird said. "Chase Meyer played well in the second half. We've got to play harder on special teams. You can't give up a touchdown on a kickoff."
