Wellington's defense didn't let Cole Whitcomb., get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for six sacks. Ezra Batjargal was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two sacks himself. Teagen Greiman was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making five total tackles (2.0 for loss) in addition to snagging an interception.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Timnath). They blew past Hinkley, posting a 77-0 win. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Cubs just coasted through the last quarter.
