The W.J. Mouat Hawks showed why they're ranked number four in the province with a resounding 62-17 victory over the Terry Fox Ravens.
The Hawks's offense was unstoppable all night, quite literally. The Hawks scored on all nine of their possesions in this ball game. Despite the lopsided score, this contest was close early.
After the Hawks opened the scoring, the Ravens Awnsered right back on a long drive as Ravens quarterback Zac Golab spread the ball around to multiple targets.
The Hawks responded on their first play from scrimmage after getting the ball back. Quarterback Quarterback Elijah Black dropped back to pass and hit Petreyus Lollard for a 70-yard score.
Black went 20/24 303 yards and 3TDs for a dominant performance through the air. Terry Fox drove down once again field but settled for a FG to cut the lead to 14-10.
With the ball back, the Hawks again made quick work of Raven's defense as two plays into their drive, running back Joe Muller found the endzone from 25 yards out for one of his three touchdowns on the night.
From that point on, it was all Hawks. Mouat ran and threw the ball at will; the Raven's defense couldn't get off the field in a tough 62-17 loss.
Despite the big win, Hawks defensive coordinator Daniel Mills wanted more out of his defense earlier in the game.
"I was not pleased with how our defense played in the first half, but we came out of the break fired up and were able to put a halt to the Ravens high powered offense. They have athletes that we needed to cover and credit to them for making plays on us. Also, credit to our offense for being able to pick us up when we allowed points. That was big to have our offense rebound after allowing scoring drives."
The Hawks will be in for a battle next Saturday when they take on the South Delta Sun Devils.
