Riddley runs wild late in Heavener win

By CRAIG HALL

Heavener used a second-half rally to defeat Valliant, 37-14, for the Wolves’ first win over the Bulldogs since 2015 and also used the victory to start the season 3-1 for the first time since 2012.

To do so, the Wolves went to the passing game for the first time this season, got a big game again by P.J. Riddley and returned one kick for a touchdown and had two other kick returns nullified by penalties.

After celebrating a homecoming win before a large crowd, made even larger by the alumni who had returned for a reunion, Heavener is 3-1 overall and 1-0 in district play. The Wolves are home again next week against Eufaula before going on the road four of the five weeks of the year.
