Hayti football team hits Red Devils with big second half

Chaffee had the first words in its annual football game against Hayti, but the host Indians followed with a long reply Friday night.

Red Devils junior quarterback Jordan Wilburn connected on a 23-yard scoring pass to senior Ryan Lohman midway through the first quarter, but Hayti scored the game's next seven touchdowns in a 46-8 win over Chaffee.

Hayti (2-1) took an 8-6 lead less than three minutes into the second quarter on a 24-yard TD run and a two-point conversion.

The Indians took an 8-6 lead into halftime, then scored off the opening kickoff of the second half. Hayti followed with two rushing touchdowns over the next three minutes to open a 26-6 lead. Sophomore linebacker Brennen Miller closed out the Chaffee scoring with a safety in the period, but the Indians, who had 315 yards rushing on the night, responded with a 25-yard TD run and two-point conversion for a 34-8 lead entering the fourth quarter.

Chaffee (0-3), which committed five turnovers, accumulated 76 yards of offense to 414 yards for Hayti, which had 140 yards in penalties.
