Big plays killed the junior 'Hawks, according to coach Cody Alexander. "We had some costly mistakes on the offensive side as well. Farmington broke a 75-yard touchdown run with 22 seconds in the half that really hurt us.
"But I can't say enough about our effort; we played until the last second defense forced a fumble and we had a chance to go score and win the game. We just didn't get it done. Farmington had a really good team. We look to bounce back in conference play next week against Gentry."
