LORANGER—The Loranger JV Wolves were up to their old habits Thursday night as they scored
an impressive 34-0 shutout win over the visiting Sumner Cowboys. The JV Wolves rolled up a 7-2 mark
last season and seemed poised to continue their winning ways again this season.
Quarterbacks Jathan Morse and Jake Ingraffia combined for five

touchdowns with
Morse rushing for two and catching a pass from Ingraffia for a third, while Ingraffia passed for two
more scores. In all, the Wolf pack offense rolled up 421 yards.
On defense the Wolves collected six sacks and three turnovers as Laton
Tycer and Dylan Vaughn intercepted a pass, while Kurtus Lamb recovered a fumble.
Ingraffia worked behind center on this drive and ran for 21 yards on the first play and
followed that up with a 23-yard scamper two plays later for another first down. Jaylen James got
loose two plays later rushing seven yards to the Cowboy 18 setting up Ingraffia’s touchdown toss to
Morse on the next play. Ingraffia added the two-point conversion with a dive over the line giving
Loranger an 8-0 lead with 7:26 showing in the first period.
The Loranger defense went to work quickly again as sophomore Jason Licciardi made
a vicious hit to jar the ball loose from a Cowboy running back and Lamb recovered the fumble at the
Sumner 34. Ingraffia needed just five plays to get his team to pay dirt passing 27 yards to
freshman Deandre Bickham for the score. Ingraffia converted the two-point play himself and
the Wolves led 16-0 with 4:11 left in the first.
After an exchange of punts, Tycer intercepted a Cowboy pass to set up Loranger’s next score.

only two plays with Ingraffia throwing a strike to freshman
Devin Butler for six. The two-point conversion failed, but Loranger took a commanding 22-0 lead with just
22 seconds left before intermission.
The Loranger defense set the tone early in the third period as solid pressure from the
Wolves’ front forced a bad throw and Vaughn notched Loranger’s third turnover of the night with an
interception. The Wolves returned the favor on the ensuing possession giving up an interception,
but another three-and-out by the Loranger defense set up the next Wolves touchdown.
Loranger marched 70 yards in 10 plays with Morse passing eight yards to Nicholas
Keller to setup the Wolves at the Cowboy 13. Morse did the rest of the work scoring on a 13-yard run around
the left side. The attempt for two failed, but Loranger led 28-0 with 4:46 showing.
The Wolves sack attack went to work again on the Cowboys next possession
getting to the quarterback twice and forcing Sumner to turn the ball over on downs after the
Cowboys tried to convert a fourth and long. Loranger marched 44 yards in six played with
Morse finishing off the drive with his third touchdown of the evening on a two-yard plunge
behind some solid blocking from the offensive line. The try for two came up short, but
the damage was done as Loranger led 34-0 with only 1:43 remaining.
