MERRIMACK — Jason Hughes had a heck of a day for Timberlane, scoring on offense, defense and special teams to lead the Owls to a 24-0 win over Merrimack and clinch a spot in the playoffs.
Hughes scored on a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter, and in the third he kicked a 26-yard field goal and returned an interception 45-yards for a touchdown. He also kicked extra points on all three of Timberlane's touchdowns, went 5 for 13 with 56 yards passing and added 44 yards rushing on 10 carries.
While Hughes scored most of the points, Tyler Furey carried most of the load, rushing for 179 yards on 34 carries while scoring Timberlane's last touchdown from 8-yards out in the fourth. Jacob Post also had 46 yards rushing and 56 yards receiving, Travis Hall recovered a fumble and Josh Thibeault had an interception.
Overall it was a great day for the Owls, who had it tougher than the score would indicate, according to coach Kevin Fitzgerald.
"We had to work, they're a good team," Fitzgerald said of Merrimack. "We played extremely well defensively all night, and we were able to keep some momentum going into the playoffs."
Timberlane is now 7-2 and will face Pinkerton in the first round of the state tournament next Saturday.
