HCHS adds three records to impressive list

 HARLAN -- The Harlan Community football team set two school records and tied another during a 4-5 campaign in 2016, breaking two marks that had stood since 1970.
 In a 70-49 loss at Creston/O-M in Week 3, HCHS accumulated 657 yards of total offense, breaking the record of 629 set in 1970 against Jefferson.
 In a Week 9 home game vs. Atlantic, Cyclone junior running back Nick Foss netted 334 rushing yards on just 23 carries, breaking the single-game mark of 304 yards set by Todd Nelson vs. Carroll in 1970. Foss also tied a school record by scoring six touchdowns that night, matching the accomplishments of Todd Hansen vs. Creston in 1988 and Ryan Fagan vs. Carroll in 1998.
 HCHS came close to setting at least two other school records on the season. Dillon Sears’ 98-yard kickoff return TD against A-D-M was just one yard shy of Brian Kloewer’s record and the team’s 2,181 passing yards fell just 77 yards short of the nine-game school record set in 2011.
