PRESCOTT — Nathan Wright scored four touchdowns, Brayden Nelson recovered a fumble off a muffed snap for a score and the Prescott football team scored 41 unanswered points in the first half to beat Mohave 55-0 on Friday night.
It is the second straight victory for the Badgers (2-3, 2-3 Grand Canyon) after they started the fall campaign 0-3.
Wright opened the game’s scoring with touchdown in the first quarter that was set up by Prescott blocked punt, then Cody Leopold made it 14-0 on a 43-yard touchdown run. Wright added another score before the first quarter expired, making it 21-0.
In the second quarter, Nelson recovered a fumble off a bad Mohave snap and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown, his second defensive score in as many weeks after returning a Pic-6 74 yards against Flagstaff in Week 4.
Wright scored his third rushing touchdown of the night on a 1-yard run with 5:27 left in the second quarter to make it 34-0 Badgers, then quarterback Wyatt Snyder found him on a 23-yard pass for a score to put Prescott up 41-0 and they never looked back.
HOMECOMING KING-QUEEN
Friday night’s 55-0 win over Mohave wasn’t the only celebrating the Badgers did as Nelson was named 2020 Homecoming king with Maddie Young as his queen.
