Football: Kinnick rolls to another victory

TOKYO – Zeke DeLaughter and Nile C. Kinnick continue to pile up yards, points and victories, and coach Dan Joley says his job is made easier as his players’ understanding of the game grows.

DeLaughter, the senior first-year quarterback, went 18-for-23 for 310 yards and three touchdowns, sophomore running back Wendell Harrison ran 17 times for 130 yards and three scores as the Red Devils routed American School In Japan 42-0 Friday at Mustang Valley.

“They were even better this week than they were last week,” Joley said, comparing his charges’ performance to their 40-7 win Oct. 22 at Matthew C. Perry, which clinched the DODEA-Japan title for the Red Devils.
