“Offense was very balanced with the passing and running game,” said Haven’s “stats guy” Greg Thompson. “The passing game mixed it up with short passes which opened it up to take shots down the field. .
“The offensive line did a great job creating lanes for Cole Brawner to read and react. Brogan Wray did a great job protecting the ball and making the correct reads.
“The defense had a few big stops on third and fourth downs. The defense gave up a few long runs but regrouped and was able to make key stops, especially later in the game.”
Haven will play a first-round Class 3A state playoff game next Friday (Halloween Night).
Kansas state playoff first-round games in Classes 6A through 1A Divisions I and II plus Six-Man begin next Friday. Times and locations will be announced soon.
