Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wharton). They really took it to the Sickles Gryphons for the full four quarters, racking up a 54-7 victory. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 33-7.
Jaden Quenga had an outrageously good game as he threw for 138 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 passes, and also rushed for 35 yards and one TD. Those four passing touchdowns gave him a new career-high. Hamilton Green was in the mix too, providing Wharton with two scores.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Wharton proved: they limited Sickles to a paltry 0.3 yards per carry. The team can thank Khaled Osman for the heroic effort on defense: he. Wharton didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged ten.
Wharton's defense didn't let Brayden Himelright, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for four sacks. Jamar Blackmon was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself. Markeal Howard got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
The win (which was Wharton's third in a row) raised their record to 4-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 39.7 points over those games. As for Sickles, they are on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Wharton will welcome East Bay at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Sickles, they will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Armwood at 7:30 p.m. on the 10th. The Gryphons will need to watch out since the Hawks have now posted at least 31 points in their last three contests.
