RANDOLPH — A thrilling 102yard touchdown run by Adams in the last seconds of the game was the highlight of the close gridiron contest here between the Hartington Wildcats and the Randolph Cards Wednesday night when the Cards annexed their sixth win in seven starts, with a 26-13 victory over their conference opponent.
The Cards have won four games in conference competition, losing only one to Plainview.
Hartington, with its entire attack based on deceptive tactics, outdowned Randolph, but its offense could not match the tremendous driving power of Adams, who scored three touchdowns, passed for the other, plunged for one extra point and drop kicked the last after his 102 yard run.
Both Hartington touchdowns were scored after the Wildcats’ recovery of Randolph fumbles near the mid-stripe.
Hartington scored first in the first quarter after a bad pass from center cost the Cards the ball on the mid-stripe and the Wildcats drove straight down the field to score. Doane went over from the three but the attempted conversion was low. A booming punt by Adams in the second quarter put the Wildcats in the hole and after they kicked out the Cards took the ball on their opponent’s 30 from where they marched goalward. Adams went over from the four but the try for point failed.
Late in the second quarter Adams recovered a fumble on the Hartington 10 and passed to Schutt waiting in the end zone. Adams made the try for point by running.
Hartington’s recovery of another Randolph fumble in the third quarter paved the way for their second touchdown as they advanced from the Cards’ 45 with Nagel going six yards on an end sweep to score. A quarterback sneak added the extra point that made the score 13 all.
