WILTON — The Wilton Beavers had their final tune up before the postseason last Friday in their 2018 regular season finale. There, the Beavers dominated Van Buren in a 60-0 district win. The victory set the Beavers record at 8-1 overall and 5-0 in district play. The Beavers are the outright district champs, a feat they have not had since 2011. Wilton will host Pella Christian Friday in the Class 1A Quarterfinals.
“We came out fast and I was happy with that. We came out slow last week and we wanted to prove to ourselves that we weren’t that team we showed in week 8,” said Wilton football coach Ryan Hetzler.
“It was a good night, a good way to celebrate our seniors,” said Hetzler.
The Beavers piled on the points in the first quarter, scoring 33 points in the first quarter. Wilton added 13 second quarter points to take a 46-0 halftime lead. Wilton would scored a touchdown in each of the second half quarters to score their season high point total in a game to date. Wilton’s previous high was 50 in a 50-8 win over Northeast in week 2. Nine different Beavers and eight different seniors scored touchdowns in the game.
Wilton senior quarterback Jerome Mays topped the 1,000-yard mark through the air with 167 yards on 7-for-11 attempts. He passed for four touchdowns bringing his season total to 14. Collin McCrabb rushed for 106 yards on 10 carries and a touchdown in the game. Seniors Chantz Stevens, Brian Stillman and Jared Townsend all had touchdown runs in the game. Cory Anderson went over the 600-yard mark for the season in receiving yards with his second straight 100-yard game. Anderson had three receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Wilton was led by five seniors with five tackles each. They were Cory Anderson, Charles Martin, Jared Townsend, Trey Burnett, and Clayton Cooling. The Beaver defense held Van Buren to negative rushing yards in the game. Van Buren was able to only rush for -12 yards in the game. The Beavers collected their second shutout this season with the win and secured their seventh game of giving up less than ten points, out of nine games so far. Wilton gave up only 17 points in five district games this year. The Beavers were the only team in the district that did not give up 100 points during the regular season.
Van Buren was able to move the football a little in the air in the game. Junior quarterback J.T. Metcalf passed for 149 yards on 7-of-18 completions. Metcalf finished the year with 574 yards and 1 touchdown pass. Four Van Buren players caught a pass, led by Tony Davison who had four catches for 89 yards. Defensively, Van Buren was led by Jaxon Thomas with 12, and Cole Troutman with 11 tackles.
An 11-yard Collin McCrabb run on Wilton’s first drive got Wilton on the scoreboard first with a 7-0 lead. Three touchdown passes from Jerome Mays came next. One to Garrett Bohnsack with 8:47 left in the first quarter gave Wilton a 14-0. Scoring passes for Ronen Santiago and Cory Anderson followed to extend the Beavers lead to 27-0. Late in the first quarter, Brian Stillman scored on a 2-yard run setting the score at 33-0.
Mays threw his fourth touchdown of the game with 6:39 left before halftime to give Wilton a 39-0 lead. Late in the half, lineman Jared Townsend scored from 1-yard out to make the halftime score 46-0.
Wilton’s points in the second half came from two short scoring runs from Chantz Stevens and another from Trey Sulzberger.
The Beavers will host Pella Christian Friday in the first round of the class 1A Playoffs. The Eagles will come to town with a record of 6-3. Pella Christian was 4-1 in district play with their only loss a 21-18 defeat at I-35, Truro who would win the district title with the win. I-35 is ranked No. 7 in 1A in the final Associated Press 1A poll. Wilton is ranked No. 8 in the same poll. The Eagles lost to 2A No. 1 PCM and beat two ranked schools at the time they played them in 4A Oskaloosa and 1A Iowa City Regina.
