Written: Oct 25, 2014
The Laurel High football team went out on a high note last night.
The Spartans ran wild over visiting Summit Academy in a 63-20 Midwestern Athletic Conference victory.
Although it ended the season on a high note, Laurel (4-4 conference, 4-5 overall) will not be headed to the postseason, finishing fifth in the MAC, two wins out of a playoff spot.
The Spartans raced out to a 21-0 lead after one quarter. Although Summit Academy pulled to within 21-12 in the second quarter, the Spartans reeled off five straight touchdowns to put the game out of reach.
Matty Conway scored Laurel’s first two touchdowns, on runs of 15 and 10 yards. Dylan Hinkle added the third TD on a 34-yard interception return.
Clayton Sharek scored on a 9-yard run in the second quarter to give the Spartans a cushion. Chris Peluso tacked on a 5-yard touchdown run, followed by a 25-yard pass from quarterback Jake McDougal to Sharek.
David Schultz scored his first career touchdown on Senior Night with a 2-yard run. Sharek added a 15-yard pass from McDougal and Noah Wertz closed out the scoring with a 45-yard interception return.
Wertz made all nine of his point-after kicks.
McDougal led all rushers with 89 yards on eight carries. Conway added 72 yards on six tries. McDougal was 4 of 6 through the air for 83 yards.
Sharek caught three passes for 76 yards.
Summit ended the year at 0-8 and 0-9.
