Yates has succeeded as head coach in both baseball and softball at various schools, and has been instrumental in successful football programs as an assistant coach. Ed will also remain the baseball coach at Huntington.

Ed Yates communicated with Litter Media’s Mike Smith on why he felt impressed to apply for the football position at Huntington.

“I love the students at Huntington and believe in them in the classroom as well as in sports. I would like to reflect Jesus in everything I do. I want to live a life where they can see someone who’s consistent and real in what they say they believe”, said Yates.

“I want them to see that they can use the game of football to learn life lessons on how to deal with the success and defeats that this life will throw at them. I would like to bring a positive role model figure into their lives that will show them how to become young men who will one day become awesome husbands and fathers to their families.”

Ed says he believes that discipline is what our young people need in all aspects of life. “I want to teach them that being disciplined is freeing. If we are a disciplined team, we will be free of the many negative consequences that come from being undisciplined. If we will keep our focus on taking care of us and doing things right, the other stuff will take care of itself.”

The Huntsmen got the scoring started following a Braylon Leach interception. Huntington took the ball and drove for the first score of the game when Nick Marion hit Dalton Haubeil for an 8 yard TD pass at 7:11 of the first quarter. The PAT 2 point conversion failed as Huntington took a 6-0 lead over Westfall.

Huntington had to wait until the second quarter to get their next score when Dalton Haubeil ran 17-yards for a TD at 10:20 left in the second quarter. Again, the two point conversion failed and the Huntsmen held a 12-0 lead.

Haubeil scored his third TD of the first half, running 22 yards at 2:11 of the second quarter. The two point conversion failed, sending Huntington into the locker-room with an 18-0 advantage at halftime.

The Huntsmen wrapped up the scoring when Seth McCloskey ran 13 yards for a touchdown with 8 seconds left of the third quarter. The two point conversion was good as QB Nick Marion found Alan Smith open in the end-zone for the 26-0 lead, which ended up being the final score.

Dalton Haubeil of Huntington was named the McDonald’s “Player of the Game”.
