Othello advances to round of 16 with 48-14 win over Shadle Park

OTHELLO — With the Othello Huskies leading 21-14 after a competitive first half, the Shadle Park Highlanders kicked off to start the second half. The ball went to Othello’s Sonny Asu. Asu said he told his teammates at halftime that he would angle for the sideline if the ball came to him on the second half kickoff. It did, and he did. “I saw my blockers spread out in front of me, pushing back,” Asu said. He worked his way down the sideline and cut back about midfield. “And it was off to the races,” Asu said. 80 yards later Asu crossed the goal line, increasing Othello’s lead to 28-14 on the way to a convincing 48-14 win. With the win Othello advances to the round of 16 in the 2022 2A state football playoffs.
