Holmes had to start their season on the road on Saturday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They received a blow as they fell 28-14 to the Jay Mustangs. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it nine in a row.
Holmes' loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Michael Coleman, who picked up 121 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns, and Jayden Hopkins, who threw for 168 yards and two TDs on only 13 passes. Coleman also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing one fumble, making eight total tackles, and defending one pass.
Jay was led to victory by Brennan Oliver and Tajari Wellington. Oliver rushed for 104 yards and one score, while Wellington threw for 83 yards and one TD while completing 75% of his passes.
