Westran football continues offensive domination

The Westran Hornet football team traveled last to Eldon last week to take on Class 3 opponent Eldon Mustangs. The Hornets, ranked 8th in Class 1 football showed their dominance on both sides of the ball by taking down the Mustangs 43-0.

The first score of the game came on the first play from scrimmage for Westran when Senior QB Tyler Hunt tucked the ball and scored on a 78 yard run which seemed to set the tone for the game. The Hornets would not look back putting up 21 points in the first quarter and added another 8 in the second.

Westran’s only weak moment of the game came in the third quarter when the Mustangs got three first downs on one possession which accounted for most of the 101 total yards the defense gave up. The Hornet defense was able to prevent Eldon from scoring and went on to add two touchdowns in the fourth quarter en route to their 43-0 victory improving their record to 2-0.

The Westran offense tallied over 440 total yards on Friday while allowing just 101 yards on defense. Quarterback Tyler Hunt was 7-13 for 106 yards through the air and ran the ball 18 times for a game high 244 yards. Running back Nick Eagan ran the ball 13 times for 60 yards and also had 3 receptions for 28 yards while Kalob Dale ran 5 times for 36 yards and had an 8 yard reception. Drake Buffington had 25 yards receiving as well as 2 tackles and an interception. Also Senior wide receiver Matt George had 45 yards on 3 receptions and 3 tackles. Bradley Minor had 11 tackles and 1 sack, Andrew Baxley had 8 tackles and 1 sack and Tycie Linneman had 7 tackles and also sacked the quarterback.

Westran will continue their road trip to Paris this Friday when they face the Paris Coyotes in the first Lewis and Clark Conference match up of the season. Westran will try to improve to 3-0 while Paris brings a 1-1 record into Friday night coming off a 28-6 win over Knox County last week.
