FLOWOOD &045; Despite having well over 300 yards of total offense, Huntington was not able to put away a scrappy University Christian School team.

In fact, the Hounds trailed for much of the game until Huston Eliser scored on a 3-yard run with just 1:46 left in the fourth quarter to give them a 12-10 win over the Chiefs Friday night.

Eliser led Huntington with 215 yards rushing on 22 carries and scored both of the Hounds’ touchdowns. The first one was in the first quarter. He also had an interception after his second touchdown that ended the Chiefs’ last attempt at a win.
