It was a great win, great first home win for us this season. Everybody contributed in a positive way. Many kids did great things for us.”

Making his debut this year for the Kavs was senior running back Jah’Tavious Houston, who ran for 88 yards and a touchdown.

Junior quarterback/running back Moe’Wuante “Moe Moe” Morrison ran for 108 yards and two scores and passed for 18 yards and one score.

It was sophomore wide receiver Trey Lewis who caught the touchdown pass, a seven-yarder.
