Spencer Turnovers Help In Nighthawks Victory

nighthawk logoSpencer, Iowa – The Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley Nighthawks defeated the Spencer Tigers in Spencer 27-7 Friday Night.

The Nighthawks offense got to work quickly after a Spencer 3-and-out and Myles Van Maanen scampered 44 yards for the quick score to make it 7-0 after the extra point with 9:45 left to go in the 1st quarter. After Ryan Dolieslager recovered a Tiger fumble, Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley would march 40 yards to the endzone. The drive was capped off by a 5 yard Van Maanen run, making it 14-0 with 2:53 left in the first.

In the 2nd quarter Spencer would get on the board with a 29 yard touchdown pass from Sean Slattery to Sam Polaschek to get the Tigers on the board making it 14-7 in favor of the Nighthawks early in the 2nd quarter. The Nighthawks would respond by going 80 yards in 4:18. The drive was finished off by a Shane Solberg 17 yard touchdown reception midway through the 2nd, making the score 20-7 after the missed extra point. That would be the score heading into the half.

The Nighthawks started the 2nd half off quick, taking their first possession of the half 68 yards. Van Maanen punched it in for the 2 yard score early in the 3rd making it 27-7.

Three times throughout the course of the game, Spencer turned the ball over inside the Nighthawk 10 yard line. 2 fumbles and an interception put an exclamation point on the 27-7 Nighthawk victory.

Friday Football Broadcast Preview

footballNorthwest Iowa — This week on KIWA Radio it’s Okoboji at Sheldon on KIWA AM 1550. On KIWA FM it’s Boyden Hull Rock Valley at Spencer.

Week three of the Iowa high school football season brings with it the start of district play as the playoff hunt truly gets underway. After a road loss to West Lyon last Friday the Orabs are looking for their first win at home against an Okoboji squad who comes in at 1-1 following a loss to West Sioux.

With a number of atheletes on the roster for the Pioneers Orab head coach Tyler Lloyd sees that as the potential for a number of play makers.

The Orabs would like to continue the late game success of last Friday.

The Orab running game has the attention of Okoboji Head Coach Jon Allen.

Allen feels error free football will be the key to a win.

LA and the Coach Kent Dezeeuw bring you the coverage on KIWA AM 1550.

On KIWA FM 105.3 Boyden Hull Rock Valley takes a 2-0 record on the road to Spencer where the host team Tigers sit at 2-0 as well. Last week the Nighthawks posted the win over Sioux Center while Spencer was earning a win over Emmetsburg.

Nighthawks coach Corey Brandt is impressed with the Tigers effort.

Brandt describes the keys to a win this way.

Spencer head coach Jim Tighe is impressed with the Nighthawks balance.

The big key tonight for the Tigers will be turnover ratio.
