KENNEY’S HAT TRICK LEADS HOWLAND TO WIN

HUBBARD, Ohio – In a matchup dominated by Howland since the 2018 District Final, a game which Hubbard defeated the Tigers 3-2, coach Stilles’ squad has taken the last 3 matches against Hubbard by a combined score of 12-0.

Hubbard would refuse to be shutout in this matchup however, netting the opening goal of the match with a Jacob Jackson header just under four minutes into the night.

Trailing for the first time this season, the Howland Tigers’ senior, Jak Kenney, would respond with and unanswered hat trick to put his squad ahead 3-1. Kenney now has four goals on the year.

With just over eight and a half minutes remaining, Hubbard freshman, Trent Reinard, would find the back of the net to draw the Eagles within one. Howland would halt the Eagles comeback effort there, holding onto the victory 3-2.
