Hamilton Heights played a tough game at Twin Lakes on Friday, pushing the Indians before falling 35-33.
The Huskies had to come back several times to keep themselves in contention, but did so thanks to the effort of Isaac Wilson, who threw five touchdown passes in the game.
Twin Lakes led 20-0 in the second quarter before Heights got on the board with a 34-yard scoring pass from Wilson to Camron Knott. The Indians answered that with a 13-yard run and two-point conversion run, but another long throw from Wilson to Knott, this one 19 yards, kept Heights within 28-14 at halftime.
In the third quarter, the Huskies got within 28-27 after two more Wilson TD throws. His first was to Knott for 25 yards, then Tad Defoe caught a 14-yard pass to score.
The Indians’ Kaleb Cauble gave his team the lead back with 8:13 left in the fourth with a five yard run., his third touchdown of the night. Knott caught a 55-yard scoring pass from Wilson later in the period, but Twin Lakes would hang on for the win.
Wilson had a tremendous game, completing 16 of 27 passes for 259 yards. Knott caught eight of those throws, totaling 195 yards. Cordell Cowan led the Huskies on the ground, gaining 75 yards on 12 rushes.
Heights is now 1-5 for the season. While both the Huskies and the Indians are members of the Hoosier Conference, this game did not in the standings since they play in different divisions. Heights returns to competition in the Hoosier Conference East Division next Friday, hosting its old rival Tipton.
