In a 3A North gridiron opener the Hornets outlasted the Chinle Wildcats 18-13 in a contest that was plagued by a mountain of penalties.

As is the case in five previous games, the Winslow football team controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

It took one quarter for the Newcomb football team to get going as they posted a 42-12 win over the Zuni T-Birds in last week’s prep football action.

It wasn’t pretty but the Winslow football team used a strong third quarter to gain some distance over the Monument Valley Mustangs last Friday night.

A mounting penalty count didn’t help Tohatchi football coach Landoll Benally or his players last Friday night.
