His first two touchdowns came in the opening quarter and he played both running back and quarterback in the game for the Red Raiders. In Wamego’s big opening quarter, they got a pick 6 from Senior, Sam Rogers and registered a safety as the Cowboys had a snap sail over the punters head near their own endzone.
Abilene found something in the second quarter from Freshman QB, Cameron Boyd. He connected with Sophomore, Mason Cruz on a broken play with 24 seconds left in the first half. The touchdown pass play covered 34 yards. In the fourth quarter, Boyd, ran for a 72 yard score with 3:19 left in the game.
