MIDDLETOWN — It was all Shenandoah all the time Friday as the Raiders scored on their first play from scrimmage and rolled to a 56-6 victory against an overmatched Wes-Del team at Dale Green Field.

Senior tailback Luke Hamm went untouched around the right end and scored from 61 yards out with 10:18 remaining in the first quarter, his first of three touchdowns in the contest. Hamm rushed for 149 yards on 10 carries, with all but one of the touches coming in the first half. He now has a total of 548 rushing yards in four games on the season.

“Luke ran the ball hard, and we did a good job of opening things up for him,” Shenandoah coach Scott Widner said. “If he gets some space out there, he’s pretty good.”

Widner told his players at the beginning of the season to take it one game at a time, and it appears they listened. With a critical matchup against Lapel only a week away, Shenandoah showed little signs of looking ahead to the contest with the Bulldogs.

The Raiders (3-1) had their way with Wes-Del early as they scored on six of their eight first-half possessions and held the Warriors scoreless on their nine opportunities. Wes-Del managed only 73 first-half yards, compared to 355 for Shenandoah.

Starting quarterback Zach York, who was injured in week one against Tri, had a rough go of it against Centerville a week ago, but he bounced back against the Warriors. He finished 4-for-11 for 121 yards with a touchdown and an interception. His big play came when he hit Cody Young for an 85-yard score late in the first half.

“He looked a lot better tonight,” Widner said of York. “We’ve still been working with Zach on standing in, standing tall, and throwing the football, and we still have a lot of work to do there. But he’s getting better each week, and hopefully he’ll just keep getting better.”

Widner acknowledged that it was a difficult situation being ahead 50-0 early in the third quarter, but it allowed him to get in some of the younger players. Most notably was freshman tailback Dylan Hamm, younger brother of Luke Hamm. After three penalties forced the Raiders into a third-and-17 situation late in the fourth quarter, Dylan Hamm took the handoff and ran 46 yards for an easy score.

“Dylan got in, and he ran a good-looking counter there. He’s a good athlete,” Widner said. “We’ll see, but I think he’s going to end up being a pretty good ball player.”

Wes-Del (1-3) had a difficult time maintaining its intensity because of a lack of fresh bodies on the bench. The Warriors, who list 29 players on their roster, had only 22 guys available Friday night because of injuries.

“We’re plenty low on numbers this year. We’ve only got six seniors and five freshmen,” Wes-Del coach Cody Thompson said. “That’s no excuse for a loss like this though. We just got beat by a better team tonight.”

Zach Cole did it all for Shenandoah on offense as he caught a 27-yard pass, recorded a 63-yard touchdown run and also returned a kickoff 85 yards for a score. Dakota Whittenburg led Wes-Del with 39 yards on 15 carries.
