John Wilson knew the plan and executed it well from the first snap Friday in a win over county rival, Wayne.
A nine play drive ended with Wilson winning a 27-yard race to pay dirt for the game’s first score. In the first half, Wilson ran for 134 yard on 18 carries, scoring once and helping the Rebels build an insurmountable lead.
It’s the second time in as many games Wilson has passed the century mark after gaining 123 yards on 19 carries in the season opener.
“Pound the rock. Run the time out,” Wilson said of the plan ahead of the county clash with the Wayne Pioneers. “The line has been working hard all week.”
Wilson is undoubtedly the primary back at Tolsia, but the other bodies in the backfield compliment him well. Gavin Meadows amassed 81 yards on six carries and quarterback Jesse Muncy ran thrice for 44 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
