Second half surge leads Harlan to a 36-28 comeback win over Brennan on Thursday Night Lights

SAN ANTONIO - Dual-threat quarterback Noah Farris scored three times to lead the Harlan Hawks to a 36-28 comeback win over the Brennan Bears on Thursday Night Lights.

Down 28-9 near the end of the second quarter, Farris scored his second touchdown of the night on a 13-yard run and ignited the Hawks offense, which scored 27 unanswered points for the win.

Brennan (1-2) were led by Cayden Glass, who passed for 131 yards and a touchdown, while also running in for a 3-yard score with 2:49 left in the half to capped off the Bears offense for the night.

Jason Love got the Bears on the board first with a 79-yard run early in the first quarter. Tristan Escobar then picked off a pass from Harris and ran it back 36 yards for the score to give Brennan and early 14-0 lead early in the first.

We can't think of a better way to start district play than to have Harlan and Brennan battle each other on Taco Cabana's Thursday Night Lights presented by Gamez Law Firm.

The undefeated Hawks (2-0) and Brennan (1-1) are both in the Top 10 in our TNL poll.

The Hawks beat Laredo Alexander last week 37-14 and opened the season with a 45-20 win over East Central. Quarterback Noah Farris threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Harlan offense against East Central.

QB Cayden Glass threw for 157 yards and three touchdowns and running back Jason Love ran for 154 yards and a score in Brennan's 28-10 win last week over Brandeis.

Both teams are young and super athletic, which makes for an interesting matchup. Not to mention they have two of the best coaches around in Steve Basore and Eddie Salas.

It should be a great game.
