The Hay Springs Hawks took on the Stuart Broncos in the D-6 semi-finals Friday looking for a return trip to the state title game. The Hawks have been rolling all season but the train came to a halt as the Broncos won 52-20.
The Hawks got the ball to start the game and went three and out. The Broncos promptly went down the field and scored the first of three first quarter touchdowns. The Hawks were able to slow the bleeding down with a short touchdown with the score being 22-6 after 10 minutes. Hay Springs was able to cut into the lead in the second quarter with a touchdown as the teams went into the halftime break 22-12 with the Broncos leading.
The third quarter was all Stuart as they took over the game for good with a 30 point quarter to lead 52-12 with 10 minutes left in the game.
The teams traded possession throughout the fourth quarter with a running clock until Hay Springs scored with under two minutes left to make it 52-20 and that was the final score.
The Hawks finish the season with a 10-1 record and a semi-final run. Stuart will advance to the D-6 championship game where they will meet up with defending champion S-E-M who defeated Garden County 38-12.
