NAPLES – Lake Region may never want to come home again.

After a sluggish start, Mountain Valley rattled off 53 straight points, including touchdowns by six different players, demolishing the Lake Region 53-6 and spoiling the Lakers’ homecoming celebration on an otherwise perfect night for football at Kilborn Athletic Complex.

“After such an emotional win last week, we knew it might take a few series to get it going,” said Falcons’ coach Jim Aylward.

“We came out flat, but got it going after a while.”

“After a while” turned out to be exactly two series.

After fumbling the ball on the second down of its first possession, Mountain Valley stuffed Lake Region and held the Lakers (1-3) to just six plays.

Nine plays and two penalties later, the Falcons started the scoring on a 4-yard touchdown dive by Chris Smith.

“Our offensive line is so big up front,” said Aylward. “We started to control that part of the game early.”

Mountain Valley’s leading rusher on the night was Aaron Arsenault.

The 5-foot, 5-inch tailback scampered for 160 yards on 19 carries and scored two touchdowns in just less than three quarters of work.

“They came at us hard early,” said Arsenault. “It was hard to get a rhythm going at first, but once the line got going, they were busting holes open all over the place.”

In all, 14 different Falcons ran the ball, with Smith, Zach Fergola, Patrick Knapp, Korey Staires and Joel Richard each getting a touchdown.

The Falcons’ defense, meanwhile, held the Lakers to negative yardage for most of the game, and it wasn’t until the two teams started playing their reserve players that Lake Region wandered into the positive figures, finishing with 109 yards rushing and another 23 in the air for 132 total yards. Brett Jauss raced for 69 yards and the lone Lake Region score late in the fourth quarter to put up most of those yards.

“Sometimes the offense gets more credit, but we have a pretty good defense, too,” said Fergola, who also recovered a fumble on defense and led a solid team effort on the tackling front. “The team tackles together, it’s a team defense, which makes it hard for teams to look at one guy.”
