HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Spring Valley handed Hurricane its first loss of the season on Friday night as the Timberwolves were near perfect in a 36-0 win over the Redskins.
“Hurricane is a really good football team, but our defense just played lights out,” said Spring Valley coach Brad Dingess. “We held Hurricane to a little over 40 yards of total offense and just two first downs – one of them was by a penalty and another against our JV at the end.
“We played really, really well and had pretty good ball control on offense,” he said. “It was kind of a sloppy mess with it raining last night, but we had that good ball control and it was a physical football game.”
Spring Valley (5-1) took a 10-0 lead into the half and then broke the game open in the second half. Owen Porter finished with 131 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the win, while Mason Brubeck added 106 yards and a score as well.
Overall, Hurricane (4-1) was held to just 47 total offensive yards in the loss.
“We have a hungry bunch of kids and a good bunch of kids,” Dingess said. “My defensive coordinator Frank Arthur does a great job with them and has it schemed up well – they’ve bought in. We’ve played two pretty good football teams the last two weeks and to hold Hurricane scoreless like that, I can’t say enough about our kids.”
