On Homecoming night, the Bucks dominated Fernley from the start to come away with an impressive win.
“It was a big win for us especially after coming off that loss to Spring Creek last week,” said senior quarterback Mitch Pollock.
Lowry took their second possession of the night after senior Danny Ochoa recovered a fumble, setting up Jace Billingsley’s first touchdown of the night on a 14 yard run up the middle.
“All the linemen today opened up all the holes,” said Billingsley.
The Bucks continued their offensive onslaught on the next possession as Billingsley had a huge run of 41 yards up the left sideline. This set up the scoring drive as junior running back Billingsley took a hand-off from Pollock and ran up the right side for a 12-yard touchdown run.
Fernley came away with a 30-yard field goal on their next possession to cut Lowry’s lead to 14-3 to end the 1st quarter.
One minute and 24 seconds into the second quarter, Billingsley ran for yet another touchdown, this time a 38 yard run up the left side.
With 7:54 left in the half, Billingsley took a hand-off from Pollock for a 90 yard touchdown on the left side.
To end the scoring in the first half, Billingsley ran up the right side for a 54-yard touchdown to make the score at halftime 34-3.
To start the scoring in the second half, and also ending the scoring in the game, Johnny Hernandez had consecutive runs of 29 and 22 yards, with the latter coming in the form of a touchdown. This made the final score 41-3.
Billingsley ran for 321 yards on the night, and Hernandez had 201.
“We wanted to get back on track, and we’re back on track now,” Pollock said.
The Buckaroos travel to Truckee next weekend for a Saturday game on October 23.
“We just have to work on being intense and being confident going in there,” said Billingsley.
