In high school football Friday night…
– Houghton scored four unanswered touchdowns in the second half, and retained possession of the Copper Bowl with a 36-14 victory over Hancock.

Houghton’s only first half touchdown came on a seven-yard run by Sam Collaer. The second half was all Houghton – quarterback Jordan Reynolds completed two touchdown passes to Hunter Richards (26 yards and 14 yards, and one to Sean Hyslop (six yards).
