Hamilton Southeastern kept its winning momentum going on the road Friday, as the Royals cruised past Zionsville 35-14 in a Hoosier Crossroads Conference game at the Eagles’ field.

Southeastern got on the board in the first quarter, when Ben Boysen caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from Andrew Hobson. The senior quarterback was just getting warmed up, as he threw for two more touchdowns in the second quarter. DeAndre Rhodes caught a nine-yard throw early in the period, then Tony Myers took a 10-yard pass into the end zone
midway through the quarter.

The Royals ended the first half with a flourish, as junior running back Jace Alexander took a seven-yard carry into the end zone. Southeastern led 28-0 at halftime.

Alexander got one more touchdown, as he scrambled 17 yards to score late in the fourth period. Alex Geroulis made all five extra-point kicks.

Blaine Wertz was the Royals’ leading rusher, with 117 yards in 21 carries. Alexander totaled 91 yards in 14 trips. Hobson had a highly efficient night, completing 11 of 17 passes for 146 yards and the three touchdowns.

The win was the second in a row for Southeastern, which improved to 2-2 in
HCC play and 3-3 overall. The Royals are back home next Friday, hosting Noblesville at TCU Field.
