MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Class AAA No. 12 Morgantown limited No. 16 Wheeling Park to just a field goal on Friday night as the Mohigans pulled away for an important 28-3 win.
“I never would have dreamed in a million years to hold an offense like that to three points,” said Morgantown coach Matt Lacy. “Give our defense credit – they swarmed to the football and did what we asked. We didn’t allow that big home run ball to happen. I think we showed off that we have a little bit of team speed.”
The Mohigans (4-3) were led offensively by junior running back Ty Konchesky who totaled 164 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the win. One of those touchdown runs came from 51 yards out.
“He’s a workhorse for us,” Lacy said. “We’re still kind of working on our identity a little bit. It’s strange to say that seven games into the season, but we are getting better week by week and it’s nice with Logan (Holgorsen) at quarterback that we can do some things in the passing game and help offset the running game a little bit.”
Wheeling Park drops to 3-4 with the loss and will have a bye next week.
