Another Hi-Line football weekend in is in the books, and a lot of local teams earned big wins.

On Friday night in Harlem, unfortunately the Class B Wildcats weren't one of those teams. Dropping to 1-5 on the season, Wolf Point defeated the Wildcats 46-18 in Harlem.

Harlem got a score in each of the first three quarters, but couldn't stop the Wolf Point offense. Seth Adams scored all three times for the Wildcats. Adams returned a kick 85-yards to pay dirt, while also scoring on a 42-yard rush and on a 10-yard rush. Harlem will try to get back into the win column when they travel to Plentywood on Friday.
