After losing to Sasakwa the last time they met, Welch decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Welch Wildcats snuck past the Sasakwa Vikings with a 32-28 victory on Friday.
Leading Welch to victory were Mason Clinton and Cash Tucker. Clinton rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown, while Tucker picked up 29 receiving yards and a touchdown. An impressive showing, but Tucker really ramped things up playing D: he made seven total tackles and defended a pass.
Welch was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 235 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 176 rushing yards in 13 consecutive games dating back to last season.
Welch wouldn't let Sasakwa keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Khol Lynch was the leader in that area as all came courtesy of his dominant performance.
Sasakwa's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Titan Collins, who picked up 185 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and Thaddeus Harjo, who threw for 190 yards and three touchdowns. With that strong performance, Collins is now averaging an impressive 100.4 receiving yards per game.
Welch's record now sits at 8-1. As for Sasakwa, their record is now 7-2.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Welch's road trip will continue as they head out to face Watts at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Welch is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 48.4 points per game this season. As for Sasakwa, they will square off against Paoli at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Paoli is on a four-game streak of home wins, Sasakwa a five-game streak of away wins (dating back to last season)-- so someone will have to leave a streak behind on the field.
