Kevin James finished out scoring on a nine-yard run to give Moody a 47-0 lead at 7:16 in the game.
“I’m telling you we were clicking the first half but had some stupid penalties and effort penalties,” head coach Jake Ganus said. “Man, the deep ball looked [good]. That’s what we’ve been waiting on.”
“We were connecting and hitting some really big targets by Charlie,” he said. “I’m just really proud of the O-line, clean pocket, and blocked our butts off running and passing, and I just overall was a really good win.”
“I think special teams won the field battle, and we’re explosive plays there.”
“The standard is the standard,” he said. “I’m proud of the guys.”
Moody travels to take on Helena next Friday.
