Huslig, Garden City win NJCAA football title

Andover Central graduate Peyton Huslig was a difference-maker for Garden City Community College’s football team when he became starting quarterback at midseason. He was a difference maker Saturday in leading the Broncbusters to the NJCAA championship.

His first-quarter, 85-yard touchdown run and fourth-quarter touchdown pass, along with a Garden City goal-line stand late, lifted the No. 1 Busters past No. 2 Arizona Western 25-22 in the El Toro Bowl at Yuma, Ariz.

Arizona Western led 22-19 with 2:23 to play and had first down at the Garden City 3. But in three rushing downs, Arizona Western got only to the 1 before Garden sacked quarterback Emanuel Gant on fourth down.
