WALTON – The Walton defense forced five Bobcat turnovers to lead the Warriors to a 36-20 victory over Bainbridge-Guilford Saturday afternoon.

The host team opened up the contest with 22 unanswered points, scoring two in the first quarter while adding one touchdown to start the second.

Bobcats’ quarterback Evan Hyzer answered with back-to-back touchdown passes, the first a nine yard completion to wideout Alan Terzo. Later in the quarter, Hyzer connected with his running back, Nick Petrutoni, down field for a pass play that turned into six points 54 yards past the line of scrimmage.

B-G’s head coach Israel Lorimer went for the two-point try and his QB once again connected with a receiver for a pass, this time Fred Newkirk to cut down the Warriors lead to eight points.

To start the second half, Walton’s Skylat Pesout punched the only touchdown of the third across the goal line from three yards away.

Extending their lead to three touchdowns for their second time in the contest, the Warriors quarterback Dylan Jacob found Kyle Wright for 13 yard through the air.

Petrutoni capped off all scoring in the game with a 68 yard score in the fourth but that was the last of the offense that the Bobcats were able to muster up.

The Bobcats’ running back rushed for a team-best 103 yards on eight carries and added two receptions for 60 yards to his statline. Hyzer completed 7 passes in his 17 attempts, racking up 143 yards through air with two touchdowns. Walton’s five turnovers included three interceptions against Hyzer.

The Warriors’ Alex Brooker rushed 23 times for 163 yards and one touchdown. Teammate Pesout ran for 80 yards on 19 carries with two touchdowns. Jacob was 7-for-8 in the passing game for 120 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Jacob was the person responsible for the three picks by Walton.
