RocketsëƵ DeHoet scores 5 TDs in 57-30 victory over Raiders
JEFFERSON ëƵ If you were using baseball terminology, then Deakyn DeHoet hit for the cycle.
The senior-do-everything player for Jefferson-Morgan scored five touchdowns ëƵ three rushing, one receiving and one on a kickoff return ëƵ and added two 2-point conversion runs and threw one pass for a two-point conversion in FridayëƵs 57-30 victory over Waynesburg Central at Parker Field in non-conference play.
The defending Tri-County South Conference improved to 2-0 this season. The Rockets downed Chartiers-Houston, 42-7, in Week Zero. J-M is at Burgettstown (1-0) next week before opening TCS play at Mapletown (1-1) on Sept. 12.
DeHoet was aware of his performance, and wanted to focus on his teammates being prepared for the game against a Greene County rival.
ëƵThis was definitely the best all-around game I had,ëƵ DeHoet said. ëƵI just showed up and made sure everybody was ready to play. On the kickoff return, I was just patient and waited for the opening.ëƵ
DeHoetëƵs performance ëƵ 167 yards on nine carries ëƵ put a smile on the face of J-M head coach Shane Ziats.
ëƵHeëƵs a game changer,ëƵ Ziats said. ëƵWe just give him the ball and he does his thing. HeëƵs improved each year, just gotten better. From last year to this year, heëƵs gotten better.ëƵ
John Woodward ran for a two-yard touchdown and returned a kickoff
55 yards for a score. He finished with 97 yards on seven carries.
The first half was an up-and-down circus with eight scores and 45 points. Jefferson-Morgan held a 28-17 lead, thanks to two long returns. The first was DeHoetëƵs, who returned a Waynesburg kickoff 85 yards for a score.
ëƵOur gameplan against him (DeHoet) was to tackle him,ëƵ said Waynesburg head coach Joe Kuhns after his team fell to 1-1. ëƵHeëƵs a special player. They did a good job sealing us off. Once heëƵs in space, well, thatëƵs itëƵ
WoodwardëƵs return for a touchdown with 7:12 remaining in the second quarter gave Jefferson-Morgan an 11-point lead that it took into halftime.
