Matt Hasler has been running wild for the St. Louis Sharks. He has accumulated 841 rushing yards after only four games.
It was quite a Tri Valley Conference football season debut against Breckenridge. In a 34-7 St. Louis victory, Hasler ran for 313 yards and two touchdowns.
He didn’t have a bad game in the season opener, either, a nonleague victory over Beaverton 13-12. In that game, he rushed 31 times for 181 yards.
In a 28-20 loss to Merrill in week three, Hasler did the job again, with 262 rushing yards and one touchdown on 35 carries.
In week four, the Sharks lost to Michigan Lutheran Seminary. Hasler was limited to 85 yards in a 52-14 loss.
Aaron Mungerloh, St. Louis coach, commented about that game. “We had five turnovers in the first quarter and fell behind 35-0.”
But with a weapon like Hasler, Mungerloh still likes his team’s potential. “We’re still a work in progress,” he said.
