Tonight, the Cougars of Downingtown East rebounded from from their only loss last week to Rustin in a major way. The Longhorns of Unionville were the wrong team, at the wrong time, and on the wrong end of a 46-13 score.

Downingtown East jumped on Unionville with four first half touchdowns, and a 28-6 lead. Josh Asante scored on a 16-yard run on a fourth down. Jamy Jenkins scored from ten yards out for a 14-0 lead. Jenkins hit Mike Giardino to go up 21-0, and Bo Horvath scored from five yards out. Unionville cut the lead to 28-6 at halftime when McCloskey hit Schriever from six yards out.

Coming out of half, Unionville scored to cut the lead to 28-13 on another McCloskey to Schriever connection.

From there, the Cougars pulled away. Bo Horvath went 75 yards untouched. Jenkins hit George Bousum for 18 yards, and Mike Giardino returned a punt 34 yards for the final score.

As a whole, there were a lot of penalties. 12 on Unionville and seven on Downingtown East.

Jamy Jenkins accounted for three scores (two pass, one rush), and Bo Horvath rushed for 172 yards.
