Breaking away from a 7-7 deadlock, Medina erupted with a quick three touchdown scoring burst over the last six minutes of the second quarter to key a rain soaked 56-7 C North Division season opening victory over Roy-Hart/Barker this evening in the debut game on Barker’s new artificial turf field.

In rapid succession during that key stretch the Mustangs saw Carter Woodworth score on a 15 yard pass reception from quarterback Preston Woodworth, Kolton Fletcher on a 13 yard run and Christian Moss on an 11 yard run to race out to a 28-7 halftime advantage.

A long 64 yard run by Moss set up the first TD, a fumble recovery by Frankie Stephens set up the second and a sack by Brody Fry set the stage for a short Bulls punt which set up the third.

The Mustangs advantage ballooned to 42-7 after third quarter touchdown runs of 6 yards by Moss and 13 yards by Jayzon Wills.

Medina tacked on two more scores in the final period on a 15 yard Preston Woodworth to Moss pass completion and a 2 yard run by Jerrell Nealy. A fumble recovery by Fletcher at the Bulls 2 yard line set up the final tally.

The Mustangs also scored first on an 11 yard TD run by Moss with 34 seconds to go in the opening quarter as Cole Callard tacked on the first of his 8 straight extra point kicks. A 25 yard run by Moss and a 20 yard pass completion from Preston Woodworth to Xavier Moyer set up the tally.

Roy-Hart/Barker though answered right back to knot the contest at 7-7 on a 68 yard touchdown pass reception  by Braden Ricker who also tacked on the extra point kick.

However, the Bulls were not able to find the endzone as a rash of turnovers proved costly.

Medina next hosts Newfane and Roy-Hart/Barker visits Akron in C North Division action next Friday at 7 p.m.
