Well, it’s been a rather uneventful fourth quarter. Just Hart’s Delano Howell doing damage like he‘s done for a majority of the game.

His 1-yard touchdown plunge capped a 10-play, 99-yard drive that took 7:08 off the clock to give the Indians a 37-6 lead.

The senior running back has 269 yards rushing in 30 carries and has scored four touchdowns. And there’s still six-plus minutes left in the game!

Can’t imagine we’ll be seeing Howell anymore tonight. Bet the Panthers wished they could say the same thing at this point.

Howell update: Just as I thought, there’s 1:35 left on the clock in this one and the only thing Howell has been doing is sitting on the bench for the last five minutes or so.

Newbury Park has moved the ball on this final drive but there’s very few people still interested. Finally, 3, 2, 1... That’s it. That’s all she wrote. Hart wins, 37-6. On to the Northern Division championship game next Saturday in Carson.
