It’s one thing to be presented with a few nice opportunities, but it’s another thing to cash them all in quickly.
With undefeated Metea Valley playing at Naperville North on Friday night, the Huskies used two special teams’ miscues and an interception to jump ahead by 21 points less than 7 minutes into the game and then hung on for a 35-14 win to improve to 2-1 on the year.
The Mustangs’ first possession ended with a high snap on a punt that netted just 1 yard and gave the Huskies the ball at the Mustangs 27-yard line. Two plays later, William Eloe scored the first of his three touchdowns from 5 yards out.
A Drew Murphy interception then set up Eloe’s 10-yard score and, following another short punt, Eloe reached the end zone from a yard out and it was 21-0 with 5:37 left in the open
