'Boro explodes in second quarter vs. West Perry
After the first quarter of Friday's Mid Penn Colonial Division game, it looked like it might be a close one between West Perry and Waynesboro.
The Indians struck first, but the Mustangs immediately responded, and Waynesboro held just a seven-point edge after the first 12 minutes.
But then the 'Boro exploded four touchdowns in the second quarter and eventually walked away with a convincing 63-15 victory.
Brady Beckner was the mainstay for the Indians offense. He started the scoring with a 29-yard run midway through the first quarter then added another TD on a 67-yard score late in the second quarter. He finished with a staggering 180 yards on just nine carries.
Waynesboro (3-3, 2-1 MPC) finished with a total of 531 yards, most of which came on the ground. Other big contributors were Mason Frampton (5 carries, 63 yards, 2 TDs) and Forrest Rhyne (2 carries, 53 yards, 1 TD). Late in the Indians even brought in youngster Braden Bibbs, who scored a 60-yard touchdown on his only carry of the game.
In Friday's game, the Indians didn't throw the ball much, but when they did, they threw it well. Brady Riddell finished 6-for-8 (.750) for 133 yards and a touchdown.
For West Perry (0-6, 0-3 MPC), Kenyon Johnson scored a pair of touchdowns.
