’Jackets swatted
MITCH CASEY The Marietta Times
WILLIAMSTOWN —It’s not often Williamstown loses, rarer still when the Yellowjackets lose at home. So you’ll forgive Grafton coach Mark Yoho if he shows a little pride and savors a thorough 37-7 win over the No. 1 ranked Class A Yellowjackets. The key word being “if.” Yoho was both humble and gracious Friday night after his third-ranked Class AA Bearcats sprinted past the Yellowjackets. “We were real fortunate to come in and execute and play well and get a win,” Yoho said. If Yoho made it sound as though the Bearcats were lucky, that was anything but the case. Grafton simply outran — and outpassed — Williamstown. “They were fast,” Williamstown coach Terry Smith said. “Good, well-organized and fast.” The Bearcats scored on their first five offensive possessions, led by quarterback Cameron Gallaher. Damon Waters started things off for the Bearcats with a 51-yard scoring sprint on the opening drive.
