Sophomore Justice Hansen leads Santa Fe past Memorial

Hansen completed eight of 19 passes — with six drops — for 123 yards and a touchdown. He added 60 yards on the ground with a score.

“Justice is a beast,” said junior receiver Dale Jefferson. “The future holds big things for him.”

The sophomore has the size (6-foot-4, 195 pounds), the arm and the field presence of a budding star.

“There was a lot of emotion,” Hansen said of making his first varsity start. “I wasn't really nervous, but I was just anxious to get out here and get started.”

The Santa Fe offense was stagnant in the first quarter but was helped along by a couple of big special teams plays — and costly mistakes by Edmond Memorial.

On the Bulldogs' first possession, a shotgun snap sailed over quarterback Ry Huff's head and out of the back of the end zone for a safety.

After Santa Fe's opening drive stalled, a perfectly placed Matt Freeman punt gave the Bulldogs the ball on their own 2-yard line. Two plays later, Huff was sacked in the end zone for another safety.
