Mountain Home High School football fans got a positive preview Thursday night, as the Bombers cruised to a 28-8 victory over the Highland Rebels in a preseason benefit game. First-year head coach Steve Ary’s squad picked up a trio of touchdown runs by Gage Hershberger and a 21-yard keeper by quarterback Bryce McKay, who also passed for 199 yards, as the varsity play one half of football.
Ary says he is pleased with the team’s first outing.
Listen:
Junior receiver Anthony Mojica had a big game, hauling in a pair of 43-yard catches on the night. McKay hit on six of his first nine passes, with the only incompletions coming on dropped footballs.
Listen:
Defensively, the Bombers gave up one score, a long touchdown pass by Highland’s Wyatt Goodman, who took advantage of a busted coverage for the Rebels’ only trip to the endzone of the night.
Ary says his coaching staff will break down the game film to isolate what areas need improvement.
Listen:
The Bombers will continue fall camp on Monday and will conduct a scrimmage on Thursday night, as the team prepares for the season opener on Sept. 4 at Harrison.
