ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – Alden-Hebron came into Saturday’s season-opening football game against Christian Liberty looking to get a quick start on the year.

Tyler Henken scored four second-quarter touchdowns as the Giants won the Northeastern Athletic Conference game, 55-0.

“We got off to a good drive that took up seven minutes and got us a touchdown to start,” Giants coach John Lalor said. “We began to run off-tackle with misdirection and caught them off-balance. The defense played well and made some nice open-field tackles. It was a good way to get out of the gates with a young team.”

Henken finished with 149 yards rushing, and Shane Engelbrecht had 69 yards on the ground for A-H (1-0).
