YORK — Two plays.
That was the slim margin of error for the Lancaster Bruins against the York Cougars in Region 3-AAAA play Friday night.
York took advantage of two plays a fourth down stand and a 73-yard run from Ryan Moore in the second quarter to break open a 49-6 blowout. Moore finished with 134 rushing yards and three touchdowns on just 10 carries.
York (7-0, 3-0) now faces a four-week schedule that includes Nation Ford, Northwestern, South Pointe and Clover.
Well take them one at a time, York coach Bobby Carroll said. To be honest, Lancaster throwing the ball the way they did helped us. We havent seen a team throw like that yet.
Yorks passing game built a quick 14-0 lead courtesy of Spencer Carroll. The senior quarterback hit 7-of-8 passes for 79 yards and found Tay Neely and Lamin Yansanah for touchdown passes of 23 and seven yards, respectively, on those two drives.
Lancaster (1-6, 0-3) countered behind left-handed quarterback Kaderrious Jackson, a dual-threat who gave the Cougars defense fits early. Jacksons 47-yard scramble set up a five-yard touchdown pass to Tywon Anthony on the ensuing drive. The extra-point attempt was blocked.
That quarterback was real good, Carroll said. Their wide receivers were much better than what we saw on film.
Lancaster forced a three-and-out, and Jackson led another march with a pair of first-down passes to C.D. Pelham. The Bruins opted to go on fourth-and-2 from the York 28-yard line, but Jackson was stuffed one yard short of the first down.
Moore broke loose for his 73-yard touchdown on the next play. The Cougars kept a 21-6 after one quarter.
I came off to the sideline before that drive and told our guys Were giving them life, Moore said. That was play was a trap. Our pulling guard Jon Slaughter got a great block; blew his guy up. From there I just tried to race to the sideline and not get caught.
The Cougars took advantage with 21 second quarter points. Carroll and Markel Castle hooked up for a 12-yard touchdown, Lee Wright added a 90-yard punt return for a score and Moore capped the outburst with a seven-yard touchdown run. Moore had seven carries for 128 yards by halftime.
