AUSTIN – A 21-point third quarter outburst carried the Hays Rebels past a sluggish start en route to a 45-7 win over the Akins Eagles Thursday at Burger Stadium.
Even with the early stumbles, Hays’ (5-0, 3-0) ground game churned out 515 rushing yards on the night, 212 of those yards gained by running back JoeAngel Carrasco. All told, Hays out-gained Akins 591-97 in total yards.
However, numerous penalties and miscues stymied the Rebel offense in the early going. Of the 101 yards worth of penalties Thursday, 55 of those were issued in the first half.
