Jake Puskas turned a pair of short-yardage gains into touchdowns Thursday as the St. Ignatius Falcons easily handled the winless Westgate Tigers 43-0 in junior football play.
The first-place Falcons (4-0-0), got ground scores from five different players, all from within 10 yards. Kyle Hughes, Thomas Rousyn, Hunter Anderson and Adrew Rebelo also blasted through the Westgate defence, leaving the Tigers buried in last place at 0-4-0.
Puskas now has six rushing touchdowns this season, one behind Hammarskjold's Owen Hynna for the league lead.
St. Ignatius rushed for 341 yards and held the Tigers to just 12 yards on the ground. Westgate quarterback Maxton Gutman was their most dangerous threat, going 9-18 for 116 yards through the air.
In other action the Churchill Trojans made easy work of the Hammarskjold Vikings, riding a four-yard run by Kyle Levesque and a 17-yard scamper by Eric Warren en route to a 20-0 win that pulled the two squads even at 2-2-0 in the junior football standings.
