Hughes Springs defeats New Boston for first district win

by RICK COLEGROVE 

NEW BOSTON -- The Hughes Springs Mustangs traveled to New Boston last Friday for a match-up with the Lions. After much of the season being abnormally warm, this game finally felt like football weather.

Everyone was wrapped up in blankets and jackets, anything to keep warm. Thankfully the Mustangs were able to score early and often and kept the Mustang fans moving, clapping after each score, keeping them from freezing entirely.

At the end of the night, Hughes Springs was able to pull away and fend off a pesky Lion squad 48-30.

The Mustangs were able to put the brakes on a two game losing streak, and Tradarian Craver was the one to do it. All year, Craver has been the engine that made the offense go, and against New Boston, he would not be denied. Craver led all rushers for Hughes Springs and together with 6 other rushers totaled over 450 yards rushing on the night.
