ST. PAUL—Yates Center “bounced back” in a big way after a tough loss to Marais des Cygnes Valley with a 64-18 win over St. Paul Indians Friday night.
“We just took care of business, it’s good to bounce back,” Head Coach Ben Weihn said following the game.
The Wildcats put 22 points on the Indians in the first quarter, and another 30 in the second. The Indians only put up 18 in the first half, and were held scoreless in the third to end the game by mercy rule.
“We just played really well,” Weihn said. “We knew we were the better team.”
The Wildcats had 380 yards of total offense in just three quarters — 315 from the ground, and 65 from the air — with some stellar individual performances as well.
Calen DeNoon rushed for 183 yards, and had 25 receiving yards. Austin McNett rushed for 71 yards, and had 40 yards receiving. DeNoon contributed seven touchdowns in the contest, McNett and Sophomore Ty Spencer contributed a score as well.
Defensively, McNett led in unassisted tackles with 14, followed by Justin Rossillon with 12 and DeNoon with nine.
