Trevor Robinson’s best night as a Cougar got the Mountain Heritage offense rolling against North Buncombe Friday, and the Cougars’ defense held up its end in a 66-33 win at E.L. Briggs Stadium.
Robinson, a junior, provided the spark, completing 12 of 21 passes for 211 yards and four touchdowns to running backs Lucas King Drew Holiman and Jake McClellan and wide receiver Zac Robinson.Trevor Robinson’s best night as a Cougar got the Mountain Heritage offense rolling against North Buncombe Friday, and the Cougars’ defense held up its end in a 66-33 win at E.L. Briggs Stadium.
Robinson accounted for six touchdowns and 300 yards of offense, including 89 yards rushing and two scores on the ground.
Jake McClellan had a game-high 69 yards on three grabs while Lucas King had three receptions totaling 64 yards. Drew Hoilman, Zac Robinson and Brandon Buchanan all caught two balls each to help keep the Black Hawk defense off balance.
The Heritage offensive line seems to be coming into its own, opening up some good running lanes for Cougar backs who rolled to 299 yards rushing against the North defense, averaging nearly 7 yards per carry. The Cougars racked up 501 yards of offense in the 30-point victory.
Lucas King led the charge, carrying the rock 11 times for 111 yards, followed by Tyler Byrd (11 carries for 53 yards), Drew Hoilman (7-22), Colby Presnell (7-13) and Austin Meadows (1-4).
More important was that Heritage's defense redeemed itself two weeks after allowing the Rosman QB to run ruffshod over the Cougar D. Heritage (1-2), behind the stellar play of 6-4, 250 pound lineman Drew Hoilman, held North Buncombe (0-4) to 392 total yards. The Cougars defense also forced two Hawk turnovers to set up scores, one a 60 yard interception return by Drew Hoilman for the final Heritage points in the 4th quarter.
The Cougars got the football first and promptly drove down field 61 yards to put points on the scoreboard and set the tone for the high scoring affair. Robinson got the touch on an eight yard sprint up the middle of the field and the offensive flood gates were opened.
The second drive of the game for Heritage was short after the North punter shanked a kick and left the Cougars with great field position inside the Hawk Red Zone at the 19. On the next play Drew Holiman hauled in an 18 yard pass from Robinson and Eddie Magana then drilled the second of nine successful PAT’s on the night and Heritage looked to be in total control.
The Cougars constructed a 21 point lead as a result of a 35 yard pass reception by Jake McClellan from Robinson before the Hawks finally drew blood on a 57 yard TD bomb midway through the second quarter.
Heritage extended its lead to 35-7 at the half on a 14 yard TD run and another scoring catch by Lucas King.
The Cougars got a lot of playing time for some of their younger players and were still able to out score the Black Hawks 28-26 in the second have to register their first win of the season and build some confidence as they host Western Highlands favorite Hendersonville Friday night in Burnsville.
