Nelson Hawks Football 64-14 Reynolds

Fifty points separated the two teams when the final whistle sounded Thursday night, as Nelson football dismantled Reynolds 64-14 on the road in a Mt. Hood Conference (6A) league contest. The Eagles of Happy Valley, Oregon, came away with one of their most dominant performances of the fall, piling up points in what became a lopsided road victory for Nelson. The win pushes Nelson to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in conference play, a strong position heading into the heart of the league schedule. Reynolds had no answer for the Eagles, who controlled the game from the opening quarter and never let the host Rockets find any rhythm. The margin of victory speaks to how complete this effort was on both sides of the ball. Nelson now heads into the upcoming stretch of Mt. Hood Conference games with momentum firmly on their side, and the Eagles will look to maintain their undefeated conference record when they return to action next week.
