HURON —The Huron football team has found some success this season and a contributing factor has been that the opponents have been seeing double when they lineup across the line from the Tigers.
As the regular season comes to a close with home games against Spearfish at 7 p.m. today and Brookings on Oct. 18 at Tiger Stadium, Huron will be looking for its four sets of twins on the roster to continue playing key roles.
“The four sets are really good athletes and they help us out, so the more of the same kids we have, the better,” said Huron coach Michael Schmitz. “They get really competitive with each other, therefore they push each other and that pushes the other kids around them.”
The oldest of the four sets of twins are seniors Benjamin and Remington Walton.
“The Waltons really have been a pivotal part of the team the last couple of years, especially on the offensive line and defensive line,” Schmitz said. “They have really gotten good at their craft and they have a great motor. Between the two of them they just constantly run and they do some good things.”
The junior class also includes a set of twins in Hayden and Landon Hegg.
