Braxton Peters and Ti’Airrius Mosley torched the Randolph defense on Friday night, connecting for three long touchdown passes, as the West Morgan Rebels defeated the Raiders 41-20 to open the 2023 football season.
The teams traded touchdowns in the first quarter, with Jalen Fletcher scoring on a 24-yard run to give West Morgan a 7-0 lead before Randolph rallied to tie the game late in the opening quarter.
Peters found Mosley on touchdown passes of 42 and 36 yards in the second quarter, however, as West Morgan built a 20-7 halftime lead. A touchdown run by Jeremy Strong and a 49-yard touchdown pass from Peters to Mosley extended the West Morgan lead to 34-7 after three quarters.
Peters’ final touchdown pass of the night, a 3-yard strike to Harrison Johnson, came in the fourth. Peters finished the game 15-of-18 passing for 190 yards. Mosley had eight catches for 164 yards and Fletcher rushed 17 times for 87 yards.
West Morgan (1-0) continues play next week at home against Ardmore.
