HARTINGTON - The Hartington high school football team closed its home season Friday with an 18–0 victory over Coleridge.
The Wildcats will end the 1945 season Thursday under the floodlights at Laurel.
A stubborn Coleridge team held the Wildcats to a lone touchdown in the first half. Late in the first quarter, Scoville intercepted a Coleridge pass and ran it back to the 25 yard line. After three successive first downs, Clint Nagel, Wildcat center, went over from the 13-yard line standing up.
During the first half Coleridge threatened once with a drive which was stopped on the Hartington 20-yard line. Three Wildcat scoring threats were halted.
In the third quarter, Hartington took the ball from midfield to the Coleridge 7-yard line, from where Scoville plowed through the middle to score.
Coleridge came back with a drive that went deep into Hartington territory. Most of the ground was gained on short passes.
The threat was halted when Nagel intercepted a pass and raced to the Coleridge 35, where he was thrown out of bounds.
The ‘Cats advanced the ball to the 15 on two plays and Nagel went over from there for the final touchdown.
Wally Voss captained the Wildcats.
