The W.J. Mouat Hawks continued rolling Friday night with a 60-13 win over Langley Secondary School. The Hawks continue to display why they are a true contender in AAA.
The Hawks started out hot, scoring quickly on the opening drive with a pass from Elijah Black to Max Pratt, the first connection of three from the dynamic duo.
On the ensuing kickoff, Langley scored on an impressive run back to make it 7-6. Langley then pulled out some trickery and recovered a surprise onside kick, and early on, it looked like we were going to have a tight game.
But from then on, the Hawks Crushed any hopes Langley had. After forcing a quick punt, Black found his favorite target again, Max Pratt, and the Hawks were off and running. This duo is so fun to watch. Their chemistry really shows with the pairs' timing as they connect through the air.
The Hawks kept rolling from there and were able to put up 40 before halftime. A pick-six from Phoenix Trolland on the first play of the second half set the tone for the rest of the game.
Despite the lopsided scoreline, Langley never quit. They added a score late in the game, but when it was all said and done, the scoreboard read 60-13 in favor of the Hawks.
Hawks defensive coordinator Daniel Mills commended his team's ability to handle adversity after their rocky start to the game.
"Proud of our team for bouncing back after Langley scored quick on us, the guys stayed focused and were able to march down the field and respond. Credit to Langley; they played hard the entire game. We wish them the best of luck the rest of the way through."
The Hawks will look to continue their success next week against Mt. Boucherie next Friday.
