QB Max Opperman leads Hounds to 29-11 Victory over Piedmont

Healdsburg High School's football team defeated Piedmont in its first regular season game over the weekend.

Hounds quarterback Max Opperman led the team to a 29-11 victory in the Friday night matchup in Piedmont.

According to an article in the Contra Costa Times, Healdsburg scored three unanswered touchdowns in the second half.

Last year, Piedmont was totally shut down and shut out by Healdsburg in a 50-0 loss. The Highlanders held off the Hounds for a while Friday night, but they ultimately pulled away.

During the first quarter, the Highlanders' Eric Huppert captured a safety to get the first points on the board. George Fullerton scored three more for Piedmont with a field goal.

The Highlanders really came alive in the third quarter with a 34-yard pass completion to Max Elliott, followed quickly by a 48-yard pass completion and touchdown scored by William Meredith. Brian Inch and Jake Pacheco also made notable catches.

But Healdsburg piled it on in the third and fourth quarters for a final tally of 29-11 over Piedmont.
