Rockets win fourth in a row

With the ball virtually touching their own goal line, Titusville mounted a 99-yard, 35 and 15/16 inch drive for a touchdown.

And it only took them five plays with an 83-yard scamper around the right end by Nate Stearns.
​
Though it wasn't even the first score, no was it even the longest play, it was tone setter for the rest of the night.
The Warren Dragons were not going to be able to stop the Rockets.
The nearly 100-yard touchdown drive came just after a fourth and one goal-line stand where Warren looked like they were about to tie the game at seven.
Titusville's Landen Wolfkiel had already taken the opening kickoff 85 yards for the first score in the opening seconds..
“That defensive stand early on, when Warren was giving us everything they had, was a great job,” coach Mike Reynolds said at the end of the game. “Then coming back, getting out of that hole and going 99-yards - that’s a lot of composure.”
Titusville went on to a 49-19 victory against the winless Dragons. It was a great way to celebrate homecoming after spending three straight weeks on the road.
Jaxon Covell eclipsed 1,000 yards with his 172-yard two touchdown effort on the ground. He went over 200 total yards again with a 44-yard touchdown catch and over 70-yards on special teams.
Ian McDonald had another fine effort with over 100 total yards including 97 passing and two touchdowns, one to Covell and a  a 34-yarder  to JJ Miller.
Kam Mong also scored by punishing a would-be Warren tackler who met him at the three-yard line but got put on his back in the end zone.
The Dragons managed 19 points mostly through a solid game byTommy Nyquist who had over 200 yards of total offense for Warren.
The Rockets moved to 5-3 on the season. They have not had a winning season since 2016.
They’ll face a very tough challenge this week against Oil City with the all-time leading rusher in District 10 history Ethen Knox visiting.
Though Oil City pasted Conneaut 70-6 Friday, they have shown some vulnerability of late struggling to gain yards or score against Meadville and Holidaysburg.
“We’ve been talking about what October 20 means to us in playing (Oil City). We know we’re going to have to execute a clean game offensively and move the football.” Reynolds said they have to be solid all around if they are to have a chance against the Oilers with District 10 all-time leading rusher Ethen Knox.
If they come away with an upset next week they secure their winning season and put a very good word in for themselves in the playoffs.
Even with a loss they have a legitimate shot at a 6-4 season with their final game against Corry who is 2-5.
Reynolds said his players are playing with a lot of confidence now. “We knew from the get-go that this is a good group of kids,” Reynolds said.
“We just have to finish the season really strong.”
