DAVIDSON — The Davidson Wildcats scored twice in a 12-second span of the first quarter and never looked back in a 56-6 rout of St. Andrews Saturday night at Richardson Stadium.
The Wildcats averaged 9.3 yards per play (56 plays, 523 yards) and built a 28-0 lead in the first 13:56 while registering their second straight lopsided win and improving to 2-1.
Running back Coy Williams galloped 70 yards untouched up the middle at the 9:43 mark of the first quarter to give the Wildcats a 7-0 lead. On the next play from scrimmage, defensive end Jonathan Hammond intercepted a pass at the goal line and scored to give the Wildcats another quick score and a 14-0 lead.
From there, the Wildcats, who had 11 players rush for at least 22 yards, scored on six of their next seven drives. Williams added a 1-yard touchdown run, and quarterback Jayden Waddell’s weaving 61-yard scoring run made it 28-0 with 1:04 left in the opening quarter.
Aaron Maione scored three times — first on a 5-yard run, then on a 6-yard pass from Waddell and finally, on a 6-yard run. Mari Adams’ 16-yard touchdown run with 53 seconds left in the third quarter finalized the scoring.
Jaden Pask and Marcus Heard Jr. led the Wildcats with six tackles apiece.
