Yough routed after scoring TD on kickoff

By the Mon Valley Independent

For the second week in a row, Freeport rebounded after giving up an 80-yard touchdown on the opening kickoff. 

Last week, it was Uniontown. On Friday, it was Yough. 

The Yellowjackets leaned on special teams and their defense to break open a one-touchdown game and defeat Yough, 50-14, at Cougar Mountain in Class 3A Big East Conference play. 

Ben Lane took the second-half kickoff down the right sideline for 85 yards, and Freeport’s defense returned two Cougars turnovers for touchdowns on consecutive possessions.
