Patriots pass by Princeton

By JIM NELSON
Bluefield Daily Telegraph

CHARLESTON — Taylor Norman fired four touchdown passes to lift George Washington to a convincing 49-10 win over Princeton at Laidley Field Friday night.

On the Patriots’ second possession, Norman hooked up with Quinton Johnson for a 53-yard scoring bomb. Later in the opening period he found Johnson again with a 42-yard touchdown pass.

After Princeton’s Garrison Shay drilled a 28-yard field goal for the Tigers’ first points, the Patriots’ responded with back-to-back scores. Felix Mollett tacked on a 10-yard touchdown run and Norman connected with Roland Willis on a 19-yard scoring toss.

The Patriots took a 27-3 lead to the locker room and never looked back.

Norman completed 8-of-13 for 227 yards for George Washington (6-1), including his first four scores for 147 yards and three scores. Felix Mollett with 88 yards on the ground.

Johnson finished with three receptions for 137 yards.

Playing without injured running back Tevin Allen, then losing Jarrell Powell to injury in the third quarter, Princeton was able to make adjustments on the fly and sophomore Christian Dalton scored the Tigers’ lone touchdown on a three-yard run.

Justin Lester led Princeton with 50 yards on nine carries. Powell had 49 yards on 22 attempts before leaving with an injured leg, while Dalton added 42 yards on five attempts. Austin Harris completed just 5-of-13 passes for 39 yards.

Princeton, now 3-3, returns to Laidley Field next week to face Capital.
