us on the run a few times, which has been uncharacteristic of this defense up to this point.”

Brent Jeske snapped off the longest play from scrimmage of the young season a few minutes later, breaking tackles as he flew down the field for a 70-yard touchdown with 7:23 before halftime.

The two point conversion was stopped, but Colby’s lead swelled to 34-0. Colby wasn’t quite done for the night, with Voss scoring the third of his four touchdowns exactly four minutes later.

Voss plunged into the endzone with a 21-yard carry that made it 40-0 with 3:23 remaining in the second quarter.

“The offensive line did a great job opening some nice holes, and our backs did a nice job of cutting in space and making defenders miss,” Hagen stated. “Mason Voss had a big night scoring three touchdowns on offense and then taking an interception to the house.”

Colby’s defense continued to frustrate and swarm the Eagles, and with a running clock, the first half came to a quick close. The Hornets defense led to another quick strike at the start of the second half when they forced a fumble and recovered the ball on the Eagles 27yard line. Voss took the handoff from Jeske and sprinted away from a group of Southern Door defenders for his fourth touchdown of the night.

The two-point conversion was stopped, but with 11:09 to play, Colby was up 46-0. The Hornets scored once more late in the third with a Braxton Meyer run from one yard out. The two point conversion was no good, and Colby led 52-0.

The Eagles scored with 8:59 remaining off a 10-yard reception. The extra point made it 52-7, and as the seconds ticked away, Colby remains perfect in 2021.

Mason Voss and Brent Jeske led the way on offense. Voss toted the ball for 96-yards off ten carries, and Jeske had 83-yards on just seven carries. Jeske had his best passing game of the year, throwing for 136 yards and one TD, completing three of five passing attempts.

Brody Decker had one reception for 58-yards. Healy added another for 44-yards and Brandon Voelker had one recption for 34-yards. Colby will see a more difficult opponent this week when they host the Edgar Wildcats.

“This week coming up will be a great test for us with Edgar coming to town for our Homecoming game,” Hagen said. “It will be a great Marawood Conference match-up, and I hope we get a big crowd to help support our team.”
