ard line.

Brad Harris directed the Curley Wolves to their eighth touchdown in six plays from this point.

He bobbled the first hand-off, but gained a yard on it, then he gained five yards on an option play. From the 40, Brian Joseph rushed for nine yard and a first down at the Bismarck 31.

A Harris to Matt Phillips pass fell incomplete and Joseph only picked up one yard on the next play. The ball was then handed off to the tailback, Fred Hopson, who found the opening for the touchdown. Miller made it 54-6 as time ran out.

The win was a big one for the Wolves, even though Bismarck had no depth and has no promise of doing much better the rest of the year. It was needed to give the team the confidence they will need for the rest of the year.

Flemons finished the game with his 88 yards he got the first half. Woodley completed the game with 76 yards, Bullock gained 41 and Hopson added 35 more.

In all, the Wolves had 284 yards rushing. Bismarck finished with 96, which was also their total, having completed no passes.

Prescott had 18 first downs to Bismarck's six.

The Curley Wolves were penalized six times for 70 yards. The Lions were penalized eight times for 70 yards.

Prescott only had the two turnovers in the second period and the Lions had four costly ones.
