ELLENBORO —
Class AA No. 9 Nicholas County used a stingy defense along with a solid offensive display to roll past Class AA No. 8 Ritchie County Friday.
Will Mayes rushed for 126 yards and scored two touchdowns (18, 5) and Tyler Sagraves added two more touchdown passes (9, 5) to lead the Grizzlies offensive attack.
Joe Amendola caught a touchdown pass and had two interceptions, while Drew Moore also caught a touchdown pass and had one interception for the Grizzlies.
