Next week, a win over Stephenville would secure the first state title appearance in school history. “What a way to finish this school out than setting records. "The kids, the community, the coaches - I get a lot of credit, but my coaches do a phenomenal job of making sure our kids are ready week in and week out,” Wiley said. After beginning the season 0-2, Hirschi has won 12 consecutive games. The Huskies earned their 12th win of the season Friday night, which sets the school record for most wins in a season. "Jewell was running down the seam, and I saw he had his guy beat, and I just put it in the air for him to get it,” Causey said. The big plays continued for the Hirschi offense in the second half, with Causey threading a perfect pass past two Porcupines defensive backs into the arms of Jewell Fletcher for a 22-yard touchdown. Hirschi quarterback Terrius Causey executed a pump fake to hold the safety before hitting Carroll in stride for an 87-yard scoring strike. Springtown loaded the box to stop the run leaving Carroll with single coverage outside. It's hard to stop all that - if they fill the box, we have single coverage on the outside." "We have a good receiving corps and a Division I running back. “There wasn't a hole for me to run through, so I had to find my way into open space,” Carroll said. Carroll escaped the would-be tacklers, made a cut to his left, and raced 61-yards to the end zone. Carroll took the handoff and headed to the right side of the field before seeing a wall of Springtown defenders. The first half was the Jamarion Carroll show, beginning with the game’s opening touchdown. “It's no secret A'Marion Peterson is a really good running back, so we had to get other people involved, and the kids did a good job of stepping up." "We knew we had to get some more people involved,” Wiley said. However, the Huskies have many weapons, and they turned to their other playmakers to build a lead in the first half behind an explosive offense. The Springtown defense intended to shut down Hirschi running back A’Marion Peterson, and they accomplished that task for most of the first half holding Peterson to 11 yards on his first eight carries.

The Huskies put up 32 more points Friday before Springtown found the end zone in the fourth quarter. In October, Hirschi outscored the Porcupines 22-6 in the final quarter. They did a great job, and I couldn't be more proud of them." “Our kids made the big plays when they needed to be made, and it's all about the kids. "We showed up,” Hirschi coach Antonio Wiley said. The Huskies advance to their first state semifinal since 1964 and will meet Stephenville at 7 p.m. Hirschi did not allow any drama Friday night at Eagle Stadium, with the Huskies cruising to a 32-6 win in the Class 4A DI Region I finals and rewriting the school’s history books. The Huskies scored the final 22 points of the game to pull out a victory.
