Written: Oct 22, 2016
The Mohawk High football team unleashed two years' worth of frustration on Vincentian Academy on Friday night.
After flirting with upsets earlier in the season against Laurel and Hopewell, the Warriors routed non-conference opponent Vincentian Academy 67-6 at the Mohawk field.
It was the first victory for the Warriors in 17 games, since an Oct. 18, 2014 win over against Summit Academy, and the first of second-year coach Tim McCutcheon's career.
Vincentian Academy has lost 14 straight games.
Mohawk (1-7) had everything rolling against the Royals (0-9), racking up 431 yards on the ground spread across six different ball carriers, and finding the end zone 10 times on the night. Running back Cayne Yakubik led the way with seven carries for 148 yards and three touchdowns. Yakubik averaged an impressive 21.1 yards per carry for his night's work.
Jaydon Johnson also had a big game for Mohawk, totaling 123 yards of total offense and finding the end zone three times as well.
Johnson split time at quarterback with sophomore Nick Wheeler, who went 1-for-3 for 59 yards and a touchdown to Johnson. Running back Jake Stapleton found the end zone twice for the Warriors, while Mason McKinley and Cam DeGaton each scored a touchdown. Parker Lyons and Matt Gwin combined for 12 tackles and five sacks, while kicker Joe Leslie converted on seven of 10 extra point attempts.
Mohawk led 14-0 after the first quarter and 48-0 at the half.
