Back at home and hoping to get back on track after two straight defeats, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (3-2, 1-2 Big Rivers Conference) scored early but immediately gave the ball back to the Huskies (1-4, 1-2 BRC), who quickly tied the game and looked like they were going to be in the thick of it the whole night.
The Chi-Hi offense responded, however, and in tandem with a stellar defensive effort the Cards ripped off 28 unanswered points to take total command of the game, piling up 320 rushing yards and 406 yards of total offense, eventually cruising to their first conference victory of the season.
Senior RB Mason Howard ran for 93 yards and three touchdowns on just 9 carries, while a fellow senior, FB Nathan Drivas, carried the ball for 107 yards on only 10 attempts. Senior DB Jackson Gugel picked off his fifth pass of the season, just five games in.
