The Tensas Academy Chiefs came from behind to beat the Huntington School Hounds 28-18 Friday night.

Tensas took its first lead of the night in the third quarter with a double pass on fourth-and-ten from the Huntington 43-yard line.

Tensas quarterback David Crigler took the snap from center, lateralled the ball to receiver Dudley Hendrix and then Hendrix lobbed the ball to Bryant Killen who got behind two Hound defenders to reach the endzone.

The touchdown made the score 13-12 and, after a two-point conversion, the Chiefs led 15-12.

&uot;We played as hard as we could play,&uot; Hounds head coach Gerald Reeves said.

&uot;We were on top in the first half and I don’t think anyone expected us to be.&uot;

Tensas head coach Chris Jacobs said Huntington came ready to play.

&uot;They came out after our butts,&uot; Jacobs said. &uot;They showed that our weakness is depth. My hat’s off to Huntington.&uot;
