Hitmen defeat Colts

In the second half, the defence came through and the offence picked up, with Kolby Wilton coming on to play quarterback later in the game. He hit Reniel Belandres on a 20-yard buttonhook for the major, as Howe Sound went up 24-21. They held on for the win to go 2-0 to start the season. With four TDs, Belandres was named player of the game.
The junior Hitmen followed with a game against the Eagles. Howe Sound went down early, trailing 19-0 at halftime.
