Jackets Drop 36-24 Decision at West Liberty

   The Yellow Jackets fell behind early and were never able to catch up on the way to dropping a 36-24 decision at West Liberty Saturday afternoon.

   The Hilltoppers jumped out to a 16-0 lead and held onto the ball for almost 20 out of 30 minutes in the first half with a pounding ground game. WVSU trailed 19-10 at halftime.

   Freshman Carl Garmon accounted for the lone WVSU touchdown in the first half on a 34-yard scamper. Aaron Ball hit a 34-yard field goal to account for the rest of the Jackets' scoring.

   A West Liberty field goal accounted for all of the third quarter scoring giving the Hilltoppers a 22-10 lead after three quarters.

   The teams traded touchdowns in the fourth period with Garmon accounting for  both of the WVSU scores. First on a 2-yard lunge and then on a 57-yard pass from Faustino Saucedo.

   Saucedo finished 22-of-36 passing for 281 yards. Freshman Calil Wilkins ran for 74 yards on 15 attempts and Garmon carried three times for 50.

   The Hilltoppers ran for 284 yards and benefited from the Yellow Jackets being called for a season high 17 penalties for 158 yards.

   WVSU hosts Fairmont State Saturday.
