HC fumbles first possession in its own territory. LT completes nice third down pass to threaten, but then HC safety with INT. Personal foul and small skirmish after INT. HC takes over at its own 10, drives to midfield and then HC QB1 takes a veer option 50ish yards to the house after breaking at least 3 tackles. He's now 3 TDs away from tying HC's single-season scoring record held by Brian Grezlakowski 2002.
HC onside kick no good. LT pass attempt thrown high and LT WR takes lick from HC CB, 15 yard flag for unnecessary roughness. LT QB1 sacked on 1st and 2nd down. 3rd and long LT pass contested but LT WR somehow holds onto it! 1st down LT on HC 30. 1st down run gets 0 and that's the end of the 1st quarter. 2nd down LT QB1 scrambles and picks up some yards. Is he a soph? Kid came to play and is gaming. 3rd and 1. QB keeper stuffed and it's 4th and short. Ball on HC 20 and LT is going for it. LT takes a timeout. LT QB keeper and it's close. Refs talk and they give LT the 1st down. 1st and 10 LT on HC 20 yard line. LT play action pass to the endzone incomplete (WR may have dropped it...couldn't tell). 2nd and 10. LT QB keeper gets stuffed for TFL. 3rd and 12. LT pass incomplete. 4th and long. LT going for it. Pass incomplete and HC takes over.
HC QB scrambles for 8. 2nd n 2 run goes for 4. 1st n 10 at HC 33. HC run goes for 7. 2nd n 3 (HC has an RB playing who had been out most of season and looks good). HC pitch out goes for a long gain down to the LT 32. 1st n 10 HC. Run goes for 4. 2nd n 6. HC pitch out goes for a nice chunk and another HC first down. Ball at LT 19. On 1st HC pass complete for first down down to 8 yard line. 1st n goal HC handoff goes for a few but there's a flag. Facemask against LT. HC QB1 takes a read option in for another TD. He's now 2 TDs from tying Grezlakoski's record. Wow. LT 0 HC 14
On first down LT QB takes a keeper and HC DE punches the ball out in a scrum, HC recovers. HC ball in LT territory.
First down run goes for nothing. 2nd down seems to be miscommunication between WR and QB as he throws it right to an LT safety who has nice run back. Wow.
1st down run goes for 8/9ish, LT now with the MO and showing signs of life. Huge couple swings there. 2nd down pass downfield incomplete. 3rd and inches. Run goes for no gain and they're gonna measure it. Looks like it'll be 4th down. 4th inches LT goes for it: timeout LT. LT lines up and now HC calls a timeout. Looks like HC had the keeper in the backfield but he slithers for the first down. 1st down run goes for nothing. 2nd down short pass complete and LT WR is upended. Wow. 3rd down LT QB forced out of pocket but finds a man for a short completion and it's still 4th down. LT punting. Decent return but there's a flag and HC returner took a lick. Flag against HC. Oh god HC stud WR is hurt. Would be a huge loss for HC.

Pitch out to HC WR goes for naught---that's the one who I thought got hurt. Good news for HC fans. 3rd n goal. HC QB scrambles, buys time, finds his man: touchdown Hinsdale Central. Mike Brescia now 1 TD from tying Grezlakoski's 2002 single season scoring record. Wow. Now I'm not merely trying to be provocative as I was last week: this kid is gonna play quarterback in the Big Ten.
That's the half.
LT with ball. 1st down run goes for 2. 2nd down LT QB drops back to pass but loses a grip on the ball as he pump fakes and HC recovers on LT 11. 1st n 10.

HC looked good in the first half and then called the offense conservatively in the second half. Probably wanted to make sure QB1 starts next week. He's the heart of the team.
LT is gonna get better fast. Hartman is a really good football coach. Congrats to them and it'll be nice to have high level LT teams like '10-'13.
