Unfortunately, Nebraska Wesleyan was able to hang on to the ball and run out the time to keep the score at 21-14.
This was the last game of the season for all of the players, but for some it was the last of their careers. The team had to say goodbye to their senior teammates this week. In all, HC will say goodbye to 15 seniors this year. The HC seniors were ready to play going into Saturday’s game. Senior John Melies tried pumping the team up late in the fourth quarter with HC down by only a touchdown, “There’s no such thing as a first down for them, let’s get this!” he told his fellow teammates.
In Saturday’s game senior standouts included; Keenen Ballage, who ended the game with 68 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown, quarterback Johnny Dostal ended the night with 37 rushing yards and 198 passing yards, and defensive linemen, John Melies ended the game with a total of 2 sacks. The underclassmen promised the leaving seniors that next year they will make sure to get the ring that they all deserved.
The Broncos ended their season with a total record of 6-4 and a conference record of 5-4.
