Week 6 brought another Ches-Mont crossover game for Downingtown East, after last week’s 42-0 thrashing of Kennett.
Tonight, the crossover opponent was the Oxford Hornets. They were tonight’s Homecoming victim for the Cougars, and the Hornets were stung by the same 42-0 score as Kennett. The Cougars improved to 6-0, and Oxford is now 1-5.
The Cougars added 21 points in the second quarter to ensure the mercy rule for the entire second half. Helverson hit Alex Rios for a 20-yard touchdown pass to make it 21-0. Then Owen Lammy scored from eight yards out to make it 28-0. The final nail in Oxford’s coffin in the first half occurred when the Cougar offense capitalized on a short field due to a fumble. Ayden Harris scored from seven yards out.
In the second half, the Cougar backups tacked on the final touchdown on the night. Lalit More scored on a three-yard run.
While forcing two turnovers, Downingtown East’s defense held the Hornets’ spread offense to nine first downs, 11-21 passing for 97 yards and 24 yards rushing on the night.
Ayden Harris ran for 153 yards and two touchdowns for Downingtown East. JJ Helverson threw for 105 yards.
