Dave Frechette is a senior who rushed for yards and two touchdowns in 32 carries despite a fractured collarbone. His classmate and brother, Andrew, has become a two-way lineman after a broken thumb a month ago ended his quarterbacking for the season. Hanover trailed by four points at intermission after Kennett scored on a yard touchdown pass with five minutes remaining in the second quarter.
The Bears then marched 80 yards in 14 plays, seven on Dave Frechette runs and two others on his completed passes. The hosts operated with Frechette out of the Wildcat formation for good chunks of the night and he capped that drive with a 1-yard touchdown run four seconds before halftime.
The sides twice traded punts to begin the third quarter before Hanover moved 77 yards in 12 plays and Frechette scored his second touchdown, this one on a 9-yard run with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Paul, Minnesota, next year. Frechette is a lanky 6 feet and pounds with a frame perhaps better suited to receiver at first glance. But No. Even surrounded by moving teammates and foes, and sometimes hemmed in by the sideline, he somehow recognizes openings and has the agility and speed to exploit them.
Mysteriously, the Eagles gave Chick the ball only eight more times during the game the senior also played defense and he finished with 76 yards in 12 carries, taking only three handoffs after halftime. Junior John Taylor ran for a 5-yard touchdown on the next snap and Dima Petrov added the extra point for a lead. Kennett completed only 7 of 15 passes for 68 yards and had two of those tosses intercepted.
