HUMBOLDT — It had been a while since Olpe has needed Cole Krueger in the second quarter. Usually the Eagles have already built up a big lead by the time the first quarter ends and Krueger turns into a spectator.
“I get cold over there on the sidelines after that first quarter,” Krueger said.
On Thursday night at Humboldt, the Eagles needed Krueger on the field and the senior running back showed he really doesn’t hit his stride until the second quarter. Krueger ran for a touchdown and returned a punt for a touchdown — both in the second quarter — in Olpe’s 20-7 district championship victory.
