The visiting toronto thunder scored early and often to run away from cross town rivals the metro toronto wildcats.
The thunder’s first touchdown of the game was set up by a metro fumble at their own 27 yard line. The very next play after the fumble, the thunder’s scored on to make the score 6 to 0 after the convert was blocked. The teams then traded 3 straight three and out offensive performances. The thunder benefited from a big punt return by #24 Justin Ongteco when he returned it to the metro 21 yard line. That set up their second touchdown, when RB #32 Nathaniel Johnson scampered 6 yards to pay dirt. Convert again was no good and thunder were up 12 to 0 at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter saw much of the same as the first. Thunder capitalizing on a metro turnover and scoring a touchdown. Both second quarter touchdowns came off of turnovers. The first one was picked up by #20, Korey Greene, at the metro 20 yard line. Four plays later #47, Rakeem Simms walked in for the TD. Greene was the benefactor of the 2nd turnover when he intercepted a metro pass with 1:07 to go in the half. Four plays later the thunder scored on a one yard Johnson run. The TD was set up by big pass plays from QB, #7 Michael Willard to receivers #24 Dejaun Martin and #88 Shomari Mudock-Reid.
The second half saw the thunder score 2 more TDs. The lone metro touchdown came on a 34 yard run by running back #33, Pelle Jorgen. Final Score 39 to 6.
