BENSON -- Sam Haas scored all three of Lac qui Parle Valley's touchdowns as the Eagles snapped a 17-game losing streak by clipping Benson 21-13 Friday in a West Central South Conference opener.
LQPV's last win was on Sept. 7, 2007 when they beat Benson 21-14 at home.
The Eagles' go-ahead drive chewed up 70 yards and lasted nearly five minutes. Eight of the 13 plays were on the ground, but Haas capped the drive by hauling in a 12-yard touchdown pass from Chase Keimig with 25 seconds left in the game.
Haas tied the game at 7-7 with a two-yard run in the first quarter. The sophomore running back then put LQPV ahead by catching a 31-yard TD pass from Keimig in the third quarter.
Benson tied it up shortly after when Cody Jaeger threw a 35-yard scoring strike to Joe Orr. Jaeger opened the scoring by firing a 54-yard TD pass to Carter Fennell.
