Waconia Wildcats Wallop SLP Orioles

 Though there was very little wind on this cold Friday night in St. Louis Park, the Waconia Wildcats were dust in the wind for the host Orioles, thanks to sophomore Maxwell McEnelly's three touchdowns that led the Wildcats to a 49-14 win.  

Both teams would tally in the first quarter.  The Wildcats struck first on a nine yard touchdown pass from Karson Dobmeier to Trevor Stockman that put them ahead following the two point conversion 8-0.  The Orioles cut the lead to one on a 20 yard touchdown pass to Derric Standifer with 1:28 left in the quarter.  

It would be as close as St. Louis Park would get to Waconia heading into the second quarter.  Maxwell McEnelly would reach the end zone twice.  He scored his first touchdown from four yards and on the opening play of the Wildcats next drive, he got the handoff from Dobmeier and headed downfield like the team bus heading down Highway 5 for a 50 yard touchdown.  The Orioles would conclude their scoring on Sandifer's second touchdown, a two yard pass from Will Dvorak.  Waconia would wrap up the first half scoring on a 22 yard touchdown pass from Dobmeier to Sean Johnson, giving them a 28-14 halftime lead.  

Maxwell McEnelly would account for the only third quarter touchdown, scoring from 45 yards.  Waconia led 34-14. 

Another member of the McEnelly Family would enter the scorebook.  Maxwell's brother Samuel as he scored on a one yard touchdown.  The Wildcats almost got a pick six on Alexander Riley's interception of will Dvorak but the pass was ruled incomplete.  When Waconia went back on offense, Riley redeemed himself with a three yard touchdown run with 1:21 left in the game.  

The Wildcats improved their record to 1-1 and will host the Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars on Friday, October 23 at 7 PM.  The Orioles fell to 0-2 and also return to action on the 23rd, hosting the Cooper Hawks at 7 PM.
