Hunter Huss Moves To 9-0 With Dominant Performance


                The Huskies were looking to remain undefeated and to defend their home turf. The Jaguars are fighting for their playoff lives. The Huskies would not have much trouble tonight as they were all over Forestview 49-10. It was also a big night got Tony Davis who scored three touchdowns on 149 yards receiving. It was also the night Davis made his decision on where to play college ball. He chose to play collegiate ball at Duke.

After the Huskies took a 7-0 lead with a 50 yard touchdown pass from Zo Wallace to Tony Davis. The Jaguars would cut the lead with a 40-yard field-goal by Holt Cloninger. But it was all Huss from there on out.

                Wallace and Davis connected on another touchdown pass with a short screen pass that the Duke commit took all the way 65 yards for a touchdown (PAT good). Wallace would pass for another touchdown early in the second quarter. That would be a five-yard touchdown connection to Malik Corry (PAT good). Davis would catch his third one from Wallace (15 yards) before the half was over. That made it 28-3.

                The Jaguars would try and get more points on the board with another Holt Cloninger field-goal attempt. But it was blocked and Desmond Hope took it 82 yards for a touchdown (PAT good). In the second half, Wallace scored his fifth passing touchdown of the game when he connected with Jaheim Mullen from 34 yards out (PAT good). Lincolnton transfer Jamal Littlejohn got in on the scoring with a 28 yard run (PAT good) to make it 49-3 and that would start the continuous clock.

                The Huskies defense forced four turnovers (three interceptions and a fumble). But the Huskies would give the Jaguars a gift toward the end of the game with a muffed punt. That Jaguars would take advantage as backup quarterback Graham Wiggins would connect with Jacob Ash for a 12-yard touchdown pass right before time expired (PAT good).

                “We played great football tonight. I’m very proud of our kids. We’re undefeated at home this season. I’m very proud they protected the dog pound.” said Hunter Huss head coach Jamar McCoy “We try to win in all three phases of the game, not just offense and defense. Our special teams played a big part, blocking a field goal and returning it the distance for a touchdown.”

                “Those kids are a great talent. They’re seniors and we rely heavily on our seniors.” McCoy said about Duke commit WR/DB Tony Davis and WR/DB Jaheim Mullen “They played wonderful ball across the board. Not just those two but Marcus Mauney, Deaven Lowery, Chase Williamson, all those senior stepped up and played great football tonight. They’re leaders and they’re great young men.”

                The Huskies (9-0)(5-0) win on Homecoming night and protect their home turf on their regular season home finale. Their final two games will be at Stuart Cramer and at Ashbrook. Forestview (3-6)(1-4) will host Kings Mountain before traveling to Stuart Cramer.
