Strong second half lifts Wolverines past Hudson

    HUDSON —  Dike-New Hartford scored on the second play of the game and pulled away in the second half Friday in a 46-12 victory at Hudson.
    The Wolverines (4-1 overall, 2-0 in Class 1A, District 4) rolled up 492 yards of offense while holding the Pirates to 93 yards, more than half of which came in the final quarter.
    D-NH struck gold on the game’s first play when Kody Kugel scooped up a fumble on the opening play and returned it to the Pirate six-yard line. On D-NH’s first offensive snap, Connor Ragsdale snuck out of the backfield from his fullback position where Jacob Moore found him wide open for a touchdown less than 30 seconds into the contest.
    The rest of the first half was hard fought, with Hudson controlling the Wolverine running game.
