Chad Williams+FollowPenalty woes and turnovers haunt HickmanCostly penalties and turnovers made all the difference for Hickman in their tough 42-7 loss to Helias. The Kewpies just couldn’t get out of their own way, racking up 12 flags—including three personal fouls—and throwing three interceptions. Even with some flashes of promise, like a big 36-yard pass early and a third-quarter touchdown, mistakes kept killing momentum. Coach Conyers didn’t sugarcoat it: sloppy practices led to a sloppy game. Helias’ consistent, physical play set the bar high. What do you think it’ll take for Hickman to bounce back next week at home? #Sports #Football #HighSchoolFootball00Share
