WELLSTON — Peyton Jackson is no bird, but he sure was winging it on Friday.
Jackson threw 3 touchdown passes and ran for 2 more as the Fairland Dragons routed the Wellston Golden Rockets 47-7 on Friday.
Jackson threw 2 touchdown passes of 22 and 36 yards to Brycen Hunt and a 54-yard scoring strike to Steeler Leep. His scoring runs were 4 and 66 yards.
The Dragons (2-0) led 14-0 after the first quarter and then scored 27 points in the second quarter to lead 41-0 at the half.
Quentin Cremeans and a 1-yard TD run to start the second quarter scoring. Gabe Polcyn connected on 5 conversions.
Eli Pine threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Conner Black in the third quarter to complete the Fairland scoring.
Earlier on Friday, Wellston head football coach Karl Justus resigned effective immediately. Offensive coordinator Dan Polcyn was named the interim head coach.
No reason was given for Justus’ resignation that was very brief.
The Dragons will host Ironton on Friday.
