A Season-Best Performance from Jacob Molina Leads Exeter over Washington Union
Jacob Molina produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Exeter to the win 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.
If history really does repeat itself, Molina might just drop another big game when he faces off against Hanford West on Thursday.
