Protecting the ball, senior RB Cade Haught looks for a hole during the Timberwolves 56-24 win over Georgetown on Friday. According to MaxPreps, Haught carried the ball nine times for 81 yards and three touchdowns. “It was pretty surreal, but I was hyped and felt good to be a part of beating Georgetown,” Haught said. “My confidence grew more and more as I ran into that end zone every time.”

The Timberwolves faced the Georgetown Eagles on Friday for homecoming at Gupton Stadium. This game was the Timberwolves highest scoring game of the season so far, ultimately winning 56-24.

The black rain defense was on display and a big factor of the win. After holding the Eagles behind the 50-yard line the entire first half, they were only able to salvage three points by halftime.

Junior DL Murray Robinson showcased the heart of the defense after a big interception in the second quarter and picked up 20 yards after the pick to show his versatility on and off the ball.

“I read the screen and he threw it right to me,” Robinson said. “After I ran and got tackled, I turned to the student section to celebrate. The energy from the crowd feeds us to make better plays.”

Both teams were undefeated coming into this meeting and the T-Wolves proved that they wanted to keep a clean sheet more than the opposition, with five different players contributing touchdowns, including senior RB Cade Haught who scored three TDs throughout the game.

“It was pretty surreal, but I was hyped and felt good to be a part of beating Georgetown,” Haught said. “My confidence grew more and more as I ran into that end zone every time.”

Cedar Park’s record is now 3-0, and they hope to keep the momentum alive with their next game tonight against the 3-0 Hendrickson Hawks at the Pfield at 7 p.m.
