Owatonna Wins Homecoming Game 49-18 over Austin

Abe Havelka threw four first-half touchdown passes as Owatonna built a 35-12 halftime lead. Alex Raichle caught three of the scoring strikes.

The Huskies scored on five of their six first-half possessions to build a commanding lead. Owatonna players made some dynamic moves with the ball. Raichle made pulled away from a defender on his first touchdown catch. Noah Budach sprinted around the edge on a jet sweep play for a 34-yard touchdown run.

Brett Solie stiff-armed a Packer on his 44-yard scoring catch. Jay Sullivan opened the second half with an 85-yard kickoff return for a score, weaving his way up the field and around Austin players. Jason Williamson broke out of a tackle for a 29-yard sprint to the end zone.

Owatonna amassed nearly 500 yards on offense with an even split between rushing and passing. Austin was held to 100 rushing yards.
