Rebel football goes Green in 69-36 win over Austin

When they needed a spark on offense Friday, the Hays Rebels literally went Green.

A career-high four rushing touchdown effort from running back Xavier Green helped Hays outlast the Austin Maroons in a high-scoring 69-36 shootout. The result marks the first time since the 1976-77 seasons Hays (6-0, 4-0) has started back-to-back campaigns with six or more straight victories.

Additionally, Hays also tallied the third most points scored in a single game in program history. The last time a Hays team scored 69 or more points in a game was in 2005.
