Josh Reagle rushed for 165 yards and three touchdowns, and the Hilanders’ defense accounted for two scores in Burns’ 43-0 non-conference win over La Pine on Friday. Sept. 14.

With the victory, Burns improved to 3-0 on the season.

The Hilanders scored on their first possession, driving 59 yards in seven plays, and getting the score on a nine-yard run by Reagle. The extra point kick failed, and the Hilanders led 6-0 with 6:53 left in the first quarter.

Burns then got the ball back on an interception by Brock McKinney, which led to a 27-yard touchdown run by Reagle. Mick Winn threw to McKinney for the two-point conversion and a 14-0 lead.

After the two teams exchanged punts, the Hilanders’ Dawson Williams picked off a Bryce Coble pass attempt and returned it 28 yards for the score. The kick failed again, and the Hilanders led 20-0 with 10:16 left in the first half.

Burns received the second half kickoff and put together a 62-yard scoring drive, capped off with a 13-yard pass from Mick Winn to Williams. Reagle ran for the two-point conversion to boost the lead to 28-0.

Following a punt by the Hawks, Burns started their next drive at their own 40. It took the Hilanders just five plays to get into the end zone again, with Reagle scoring on a 44-yard run. Winn threw to William Johnson for the two-point conversion and a 36-0 lead.

At the start of the fourth quarter, La Pine was faced with a first-and-10 at their own 20. On the first play from scrimmage, Coble threw a short pass to Jose Guillen, who was hit almost immediately by Reagle, forcing a fumble. The Hilanders’ Wyatt Epling scooped up the loose ball and raced into the end zone for the final score of the night.

Along with Reagle’s 165 rushing yards on 17 carries, Winn ran for 41 yards on 10 attempts, and Zane Taylor carried twice for 24 yards.

Winn completed five of 13 passes for 68 yards and one touchdown.

Taylor was the leading receiver for Burns, catching two passes for 18 yards. Justin Winn caught one pass for 19 yards, Harlan Gunderson had one catch for 18 yards, and Williams added one catch for 13 yards and a TD.

Coble completed 11 of 24 passes for 92 yards with two interceptions.

Adam Plant was the Hawks’ leading rusher, picking up 37 yards on 21 carries.

Burns hits the road again Friday, Sept. 21, when they travel to Merrill to take on Lost River (2-1). Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
