Reed Creech into the end zone with a short run for James River to put the Rapids up 35-7. Drive was assisted by a 57-yard screen pass from Mayfield to Turner.

Finally some signs of life from Monacan as Jeremiah Singleton returns the kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. 28-7 James River with 6:17 to go in the third.

The Mayfield to Turner connection is back. Again, Turner has his man beat by multiple steps, this time on a deep slant. 75 yard strike gives James River a 21-0 lead with 94 seconds to play in the half.

Here’s something you don’t see every day: James River was facing 3rd and 42 after back to back penalties and a sack. Mayfield hit Nate Broocke on a screen pass to the left, and the receiver sprinted untouched to the end zone. 14-0 James River over Monacan, 6:02 2Q

[Jonathan Howard @JHowardWrites]

James River strikes first just before the end of the first quarter. Donovan Mayfield found Ryan Turner in one on one coverage down the right sideline and dropped a dime in the front corner of the end zone. 7-0 James River thru 1Q.

[Jonathan Howard @JHowardWrites]

James River will receive the ball first, wearing all purple. Monacan dressed in orange helmets, white shirts and black pants.

[Jonathan Howard @JHowardWrites]

It’s the first game as head coach for Monacan’s Dylen Culpen, who took over after last week’s forfeit. The Chiefs are 0-3. The Rapids enter 2-1 after falling 30-0 to Manchester last week.
