Hidden Valley, Brand dominate Bassett in 35-12 non-district win

     Hidden Valley used an open date the previous week to regroup and get healthy and it paid off, as the Titans defeated Bassett in convincing fashion, 35-12, on homecoming night at Dwight Bogle Stadium.
With a previously depleted offensive line back in action, the big-men up front opened the holes for the signature Hidden Valley running game.
Junior running back Walker Brand was the dominating factor, rushing for a career-high 301-yards on 39 carries.
Brand scored the only touchdown of the first half by either team after a mishandled pitch by Bassett led to a fumble that set the Titans up at the 2-yard line. Two plays later, Brand scored from a yard out.
Brand found the end zone three times in the third quarter, scoring on runs of 3, 19 an 11-yards. Hidden Valley led 28-6 heading into the final frame.
Senior tight end Jacob Bowen pulled in a 3-yard touchdown pass from Titan quarterback Chad Frazier to finish the Hidden Valley scoring before Bassett scored late in the game for the final margin.
The  Hidden Valley defense held Bassett to only 35-yards on the ground. The Bengals, forced to the air, picked up 178 passing yards. Hidden Valley, meanwhile, with the running game hitting on all cylinders, only threw two passes all evening, including the strike to Bowen.
The Titans travel to Blacksburg this Friday night (Oct. 5th) to open River Ridge District play against the Bruins.
