Flags, turnovers plague Haskell
Waxahachie, Texas ? It was the same song, different verse for Haskell Indian Nations University’s football team Saturday.
Penalties and turnovers proved fatal as Southwestern Assemblies of God U. pinned the Fightin’ Indians, 24-7, at Lumpkin Stadium.
Haskell (1-7) threw four interceptions and was penalized 10 times for 87 yards, spoiling a solid defensive performance. HINU’s offense manufactured only 183 yards, but that was 17 more than the Lions.
Haskell’s only touchdown came when free safety Terrill Denny recovered a fumble in the SAGU end zone.
Haskell will travel to Peru, Neb., State on Saturday.
