Camden Royal played like a king Friday night, scoring two touchdowns to lead the Cooper Hawks to a 41-20 win over the host St. Louis Park Orioles.
The Hawks reached the end zone twice in the first quarter. Terrence Matthews opened the scoring with a three yard touchdown run. Royal scored his first touchdown as he ran left for an 11 yard run and Cooper led 14-0.
There would be no shutout on this chilly Friday night when Will Dvorak threw a 25 yard completion to his brother McCabe and the Orioles trimmed the lead to 14-7. But Cooper would reach the end zone once again on Kahlil Borden's 35 yard punt return and the lead would climb back to 14. The Hawks concluded the first half scoring on Joseph Russell's six yard touchdown pass with :29.3 left in the first half and Cooper led 28-8 at halftime.
Cooper would add two more touchdowns to their ledger in the third quarter as Royal reached the end zone a second time, this time from 14 yards. Just as the stadium clock hit :00.0, Joseph Russell completed a 46 yard pass to DaNari Connors and the lead would increase to 41-7.
Would there be running time in the fourth quarter? Not if the Orioles got the seven off their portion of the scoreboard. They would as Will Dvorak hurled a deep pass to Austin Amelse and he scored on a 79 yard completion. Even the reserves would get action with the game decided. One of them, sophomore quarterback Zach Helfmann would wrap up the scoring on a two yard keeper run.
The Hawks improved their record to 2-1 and host the Holy Angels Starts on Friday, October 30 at 7 PM. The Orioles fell to 0-3 and will also return to action on the 30th as they head up Highway 65 to Spring Lake Park to face the Panthers at 7 PM.
