Harvey/Wells County pounds defending champion Langdon Area/Munich to win first Dakota Bowl in co-op history

FARGO — It took one play to get the Langdon Area/Munich Cardinals on their heels. Harvey/Wells County senior fullback Easton Schuh opened the first drive of Friday’s Division A title game with a 55-yard run. “It made most of the boys just hype,” Schuh said. “I mean, with our run game, it’s hard not to get super hype about seeing it.” Added head coach Bret Dockter: “That’s a huge play because it makes us relax a little bit. It makes you think that man, we can do this. We’re all right.” From there, running back Christian Metz, who was named the Division A senior athlete of the year, carried the ball on three consecutive plays to start the scoring. That set the tone for a Hornets offense that rushed for 385 yards and threw for another 200 in a beatdown of the defending Division A state champions on Friday, as No. 2 seed H/WC (11-2) won 44-20 over No. 4 seed LA/M (11-2) in the Fargodome. “It feels amazing,” Schuh said.
