Kayne Farquharson Adds 3 More TDs This Week

OMAHA — The Omaha Beef had its back against the wall Saturday night when it hosted the Nebraska Danger.

And the Beef responded with a 68-54 victory over the Danger to keep its playoff hopes alive.

Omaha improves to 4-5 with the win when the Danger fell to 4-6.

A home loss would have all but eliminated the Beef from the playoff race, but quarterback James McNear didn’t let that happen. The veteran QB threw for six touchdowns and ran for another to lead the Beef to the win.

McNear finished the night 21-for-28 passing for 200 yards.

Former Danger receiver Mike Jones also played a big role for the Beef with touchdown receptions of 4, 2 and 9 yards. The final two touchdowns came in the fourth quarter to help put the game away.

Danger quarterback Rocky Hinds threw six touchdowns, including three to receiver Kayne Farquharson who had six receptions for 91 yards.
Running back Daniel Libre had a 25-yard touchdown run and caught a pass from Hinds to complete a 27-yard scoring play.

Hinds completed 19-of-31 passes for 226 yards with two interceptions. Farquharson had six catches for 91 yards while Chris Bell grabbed seven passes for 45 yards. Running back Daniel Libre had 13 carries for 60 yards and caught two passes for 54 yards.

The Danger will play at Wichita on Saturday to complete a three-game road trip before returning to the Heartland Events Center to play the Allen Wranglers on June 2.
