St. Paul Harding/Humboldt Finishes Off Minneapolis Edison: Recap

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1ST QUARTER</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Knighthawks 2023 QB <strong>Jorge Irizzary</strong> threw an absoulute dime to 2023 WR <strong>Jod'e Trice</strong> to get Harding-Humboldt on the board for one of their several scores of the evening. <strong>St. Paul Harding-Humboldt 7, Minneapolis Edison 0.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2023 QB [player_tooltip player_id='406841' first='Jorge' last='Irizarry']</strong>, later in the second quarter, found his main man at wide receiver <strong>Jod'e Trice</strong> for their second touchdown of the quarter to put the Knighthawks up two scores on the Tommies. <strong>St. Paul Harding-Humboldt 14, Minneapolis Edison 0</strong>. <strong>End of the 1st quarter.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2ND QUARTER</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For the duration of the 1st half, the Knighthawk's<strong> </strong>defense wreaked havoc on the Tommies' offense, and it did not help the Tommies to have several botched snaps at their expense in the first half as this time off the turnover<strong> Nate Chea</strong> snuck in from 4 yards out to make this a three-score game into halftime with that Knighthawks with a commanding lead on the Minneapolis Edison Tommies <strong>St. Paul Harding-Humboldt 21, Minneapolis Edison 0. Halftime</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3RD QUARTER</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To start off the 3rd quarter, the Minneapolis Edison Tommies gained significant momentum on their side to start the half with a boom offensively. 2024 RB <strong>Tremayne Graham</strong> started the hype for Edison with a 42-yard run for a touchdown to start the half. The Tommies went for two and got it. <strong>St. Paul Harding-Humboldt 21, Minneapolis Edison 8.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Minneapolis Edison Tommies were able to lock in early in the 3rd quarter on defense and caused a turnover quickly after their first score of the game. It was yet again 2024 RB <strong>Tremayne Graham</strong> with the short 5-yard gain to snuck into the end zone, and again, the Tommies make it worth it by going for two and getting the conversion to put them down just 5 in the early middle of the 3rd quarter. <strong>St. Paul Harding-Humboldt 21, Minneapolis Edison 16. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Knighthawks, however, were not done, as it was again <strong>Neyo Chea</strong> who showed some sneaky well put together speed on a kickoff return to escape the Tommies' special teams unit to get another the one and only special teams touchdown of the night with a 60-yard kickoff return from the Edison 40 yard line. <strong>St. Paul Harding-Humboldt 28, Minneapolis Edison 16.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Right in front of me to end the 3rd quarter, 2023 RB <strong>Robert Htoo</strong> utilized the edge of the sideline with his solid balance to sneak into the end zone for his first of two touchdowns on the night from 13-yard outs. <strong>St. Paul Harding-Humboldt 35, Minneapolis Edison 16. End of the 3rd quarter</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>4TH QUARTER</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was waiting for the Minneapolis Edison Tommies to unleash the speed of 2023 QB <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='313142' first='Emmaus' last='Williams']</strong> in the open field, and they did just that on his 22-yard run for a Tommie's touchdown to keep the game just within reach. The Tommies were a perfect 3/3 on the night on 2-point conversions. <strong>St. Paul Harding-Humboldt 35, Minneapolis Edison 24.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although the game was just barely out of Tommies, it was Knighthawks 2023 RB <strong>Robert Htoo</strong> to put the game fully out of reach for Minneapolis Edison for a 32-yard rushing touchdown, his second of the night. <strong>St. Paul Harding-Humboldt 42, Minneapolis 24.
