SNOW WINS BIG IN SEASON OPENER
by Greg Dart

Badgers Win 32-14

Snow College receiver Kyle Hatch caught four passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns as the Snow College football team opened its season in impressive fashion with a 32-14 victory over the Air Force Academy Prep Huskies, 32-14 Saturday in Fort Collins, Colo.

Freshman quarterback Jon Eastman hit Hatch on a 62-yard strike in the second quarter to give the Badgers a 7-0 lead, which they never relented. Eastman went 17-25 for 322 yards en route to nearly 500 yards total offense for the nationally #2 ranked Badgers.

"We played a tremendous game, especially our defense," said Tyler Hughes, assistant coach at Snow. "Eastman had a heck of a game too."

Snow will play its home opener against the Australian National Team Saturday at 1 p.m. at Badger Stadium in Ephraim.
