WASATCH 75 COLORADO
Colorado
NOTE: At
press time, the Colorado
Jared Harward
returned two interceptions for touchdowns, Matt Stroshine
returned a fumble and a punt for a touchdown and Tony Saunders caught 2
touchdown passes and were just a few of the many stars that shone for the
Wasatch Wildcats on Saturday.
Quarterback, Adam Cunningham threw for 158 yards and 3 touchdowns and
ran in for a fourth, before exiting the game early in the third quarter.
The Wildcat rushing attack accounted for a big
205 yards split between a number of runners, including George Uyema (64 yards), Sim Tiatia (38 yards) and Tyler Phillips (33 yards) as the team
leaders.
But the real story for the Wildcats was BIG
plays.
Samasoni Steele started it all out early by intercepting Zane Newitt on the second play from scrimmage and racing
16-yards into the end zone to put the Wildcats on the board. Later in the
quarter, Jared Harward had the first of his 3
interceptions in the game, returning it 33-yards for the Wildcats second
score. As the Wildcat offense started
slow, the defense also picked up the teams third score, a 10-yard fumble return
for touchdown by Garth Johnson. Fittingly,
the final score of the game, was an electrifying 81-yard punt return for
touchdown by Matt Stroshine who had already scored on
a fumble return in the third quarter.
Another defensive star was Kengike Vainuku who lead the team in tackles with 7-1/2 and was a force all over
the field until he exited the game in the third quarter.
Overall, a sound victory
for the Wildcats who return to the Rocky Mountain Football League after a 4
season absence.
