A Season-Best Effort from Jacob Molina Leads Exeter over Washington Union
Exeter was led to victory by Jacob Molina, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Molina rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 184 yards and two touchdowns on only 17 passes. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
Molina is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Hanford West on Thursday. Molina threw for 296 yards and five touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in September of 2023.
