Pierce Wins the Battle of the Blue in Wayne
WAYNE - Big runs from Konnar Jones and timely turnovers forced by the Blue Jays added up to a resounding 47-26 Pierce victory over the Wayne Blue Devils Friday night. The game was tight early, as the teams traded fumbles in the 1st quarter, and neither could cash in on the ensuing drives. Wayne finally strung together a promising possession late in the period, but following a Blue Devil punt, all it took was one play for Pierce to dent the scoreboard. Konnar Jones took the toss, veered left, got a seal block, and scooted down the sideline for an 78-yard TD. Midway through the 2nd, Cole DeBoer plunged in from a yard out on the next drive, and after a missed extra point, the Blue Jays were up 13-0.
