WINNEMUCCA — One streak came to an end on Friday night, while another one continued.
Lowry High School used three touchdowns from Jacob Hernandez to beat Dayton 40-0, as the Buckaroos celebrated Homecoming by picking up their first win of the season. Meanwhile, Dayton remained scoreless on the season and now has been outscored 298-0 in six games.
Lowry scored less than three minutes into the contest, when Darrin Nelson picked up a loose ball after a Dayton fumble and scampered 32 yards for the touchdown and a 7-0 lead.
After an unsuccessful fake punt, the Buckaroos needed to drive just 37 yards to tack on to the advantage and did so, on a 4-yard run by Hernandez with 4:57 left in the first quarter to go in front 14-0.
Dayton went three-and-out on its next two possessions, and Lowry increased the lead to 21-0 with just two minutes gone in the second quarter on a 1-yard run by Alan Mayorga.
Aided by two personal foul penalties, the Dust Devils moved the ball down the field and picked up their initial first down of the contest, with six minutes left in the first half. Dayton quarterback Blake Fletcher continued to move Dayton down the field, but the drive stalled on downs inside the 10-yard line.
Lowry took a 28-0 lead in the early minutes of the third quarter on a 7-yard run by Hernandez. Dayton had its best chance to score on its next possession. The Dust Devils (0-6 overall, 0-5 Division I-A North) drove back down the field, but on the first play of the fourth quarter, on fourth-and goal from the 3-yard line. Fletcher was intercepted in the end zone.
The Buckaroos (1-4 overall, 1-4 Division I-A North) tacked on two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter, one by Hernandez on a 37-yard run and the last on a 7-yard run by Victor Rosas.
