Minatare Loses Opener

Hitchcock County Falcons 60  Minatare Indians 37

Minatare, Nebraska - The Minatare Indians under the direction of their first year head coach fell Friday afternoon to the speedy Hitchcock County Falcons.  Hitchcock County is located in the southwestern part of Nebraska between Benkelman and McCook.

Several times throughout the game Minatare mounted a comeback but could never get it closer than 11.  The Indians did show both toughness on Defense and the ability to go deep.  One of the highlights was a beautiful bomb in the near endzone that the Minatare receiver did a fantastic job of keeping his focus and coming down with it over the defender.

The Indians play host to Loup County, Nebraska next week (Sep 10, 2010)
