Wyatt Andler and Marselis Griffiths were among the main playmakers for Wells as the former rushed for 191 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry and the latter rushed for 164 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 carries. Griffin Scott was another key contributor, rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Nelson put the finishing touches on their sixth blowout victory of the season last Thursday. They breezed by Gresham on the road to the tune of 40-7.
