The Mancos Blue Jays won their third straight game on Friday during their Homecoming matchup with the Sanford Indians.<\/p>\n
Senior Drew Morgan got Mancos on the board in the first quarter by scooping up a Sanford fumble and returning it for a touchdown.<\/p>\n
Morgan had 133 yards rushing and two rushing scores on the evening, one from 34 yards out and another from 44 yards. On both plays, Morgan faked a toss to one side then reverse pivoted and took off down the opposite sideline for scores.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou put the ball in his hands and he\u2019s dangerous,\u201d co-head coach Josh Gardner said of Morgan.<\/p>\n
The Blue Jays other running backs also found success, with junior Axel Bonde racking up 145 yards on the ground and showcasing his speed on a 75-yard touchdown rush, and senior Everett Strazza-Whalen scoring twice on runs of 45 yards and 31 yards, rushing for a total 137 yards.<\/p>\n
Mancos limited the Indians\u2019 passing attack with great play in the secondary, and sophomore Kaleb Hargraves had an interception for his third game in a row.<\/p>\n
After dropping their first game at Norwood, Friday\u2019s homecoming win against Sanford makes three straight victories for the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n

Game two was closer, but late Mancos errors let Nucla pull away for a 25-17 win.<\/p>\n
Taryn Gordanier and Nicole Hess landed spikes in game three to pull Mancos within five points, but Nucla junior Carlie Wytulka pushed the Mustangs on to a 25-15 win to take the match in three games.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got to reduce our errors and score more,\u201d said Mancos coach Brittany Lang.<\/p>\n
