Abbeville blows out West St. Mary

Game was over at halftime

Abbeville head coach Roderick Moy knew what the Wildcats’ first eight plays of the game would be before the game began.
However, by the time he completed calling seven out of the eight plays, Abbeville had a convincing 28-0 lead.
The Wildcats cruised to a 51-6 win over West St. Mary in a non-district game.
Abbeville improves to 4-1 on the year.
“The first eight plays were going to be the first eight plays,” said Moy. “Those were the plays we practiced all week long. We were only able to run seven plays. We did not get through the eight plays.”
Moy said he got the idea of running scripted plays from former San Franciso 49er head coach Bill Walsh. Walsh, however, had 15 straight plays he would call. So Moy tweaked it and did eight consecutive plays.
On Abbeville’s fourth play of the game, the Wildcats were in the end zone.
Trasean Greene had back-to-back carries for 10 yards, including a four-yard TD run. The Wildcats needed only two minutes to lead 7-0.
On their second possession, the Wildcats only took two plays to score seven more points.
Jaysen Shelvin, playing quarterback, connected with Chad Westley for a 40-yard touchdown reception.
Shelvin scored on the two-point conversion for a 15-0 lead.
While the AHS offense was scoring, the AHS defense was shutting down West St. Mary.
After three possessions, West St. Mary had 10 yards of offense.
Abbeville scored two more touchdowns in the final four minutes of the first quarter.
AHS quarterback Tahj Judge completed a 43-yard touchdown pass to Ronale Walker at the 3:52 mark.
Then, the Wildcats scored their fourth touchdowns thanks to a 40-yard punt return by Tazavian Andrews, who was tackled at the 6. On the first play from scrimmage, Chad Westley scored on a jet sweep to the right side.
Abbeville scored on its first six possessions of the game. At halftime, it was 44-0. AHS kicker Edwin Ramirez made a 23-yard field to end the first half.
“I was proud of how went out and took care of business early,” Moy added.
The Wildcats dominated on offense and defense.
Abbeville had 346 yards of offense in the first half. They threw for a season-high 160 yards and ran for 186 yards.
Five different Wildcats caught the football.
Walker and Edmar Simon had each a catch for 43 yards. Westley had a catch for 40 yards.
As far as running the football, Braylon Moore had the most carries with nine for 58 yards. Andrew had four carries for 64 yards.
West St. Mary had 15 total yards in the first half and only one first down. They finished the game with 69 total yards of offense.
