Duluth Ruins Mountain View Homecoming

Myles Campbell and Henry Enyenihi scored two touchdowns apiece to lead to a 28-20 victory over Mountain View Friday night, spoiling the Bears' homecoming night.

The Wildcats struck quickly.

Duluth (3-3, 1-2 in Region 7-AAAAA) took the opening kickoff, but bogged down after three plays. However, instead of punting the ball away, Campbell took a direct snap on a fake punt and raced 63 yards for the score and a 7-0 Duluth lead less than two minutes into the contest.

Mountain View (2-4, 1-2) responded, though, and drove 74 yards on nine plays on the following possession, tying the contest at 7-7 when Marvin Elam scored on a 6-yard run with 5:55 left in the first period.

Duluth responded with another long scoring drive, this time going 77 yards in 14 plays and taking a 14-7 lead when Enyenihi scored from 6 yards out with 11:45 left in the half.

The Wildcats made it 21-7 on a 38-yard TD run by Enyenihi four minutes into the third quarter.

Mountain View drove back downfield, narrowing the gap to 21-13 when Elam got his second score of the night on a 3-yard run with 4:36 left in the third quarter. The PAT was blocked.

Duluth extended its lead when Campbell got his second touchdown on a 4-yard dive with 7:00 left in the game. But Mountain View refused to fold, and Chris Bartlett's 1-yard plunge with 3:18 left made it a 28-20 game.

Mountain View recovered the ensuing onside kick, but the Bears could not move the ball, turning it over on downs with 1:39 left. Duluth got a first down on a 16-yard run by Matthew Randle, however, and was able to run out the clock and seal the win.
