Playing on a high school football field for one last time, two Emmett Huskie seniors contributed to a 34-28 victory for the East squad at the East-West Shriner’s All-Star Football game on Nov. 28 at Eagle High School. Defensive guard Daniel Heck had three tackles and pressured the West quarterback into an interception while Tight End Luke Hyde beat double coverage in the end zone to snag a second half touchdown pass from Capital High’s Connor Poulson. The annual Thanksgiving weekend classic showcases the best seniors from among the area high school football programs.
Heck, a four-year varsity lettermen, earned his spot on the East team after a year that saw him grab the Snake River Conference defensive player of the year award. He finished his senior campaign with 67 tackles including 25 for a loss and four sacks.
Three-year varsity letterman Hyde, the East starting tight end, earned first team SRV all-conference honors as a linebacker with 39 tackles including 11 for a loss, eight sacks and a pair of interceptions.
Both of the Huskie standouts plan on taking their game to the collegiate level next season. Hyde is mulling over multiple options that include interest from both the University of Idaho Vandals and the Boise State Broncos. Heck has accepted a full-ride scholarship to join the Bengals of Idaho State University in Pocatello as a defensive tackle.
