"I thought we got to great start," Mountaineer coach Robin Marttila said. "Paul Brooks had a heck of a game. It was a great team win for us."

Taylor Huotari hiked the margin to 19-0, intercepting a pass to set up his 36-yard scoring run.

Brooks recovered a Wykon fumble and followed with a 32-yard touchdown to close the halftime blitz.
In the third quarter, Jacobs and James Christiansen hooked up on a five-yard scoring pass.
