andrew brethauer September 12th, 2011

Sarnia, ON – Jamie Campbell had three touchdown runs and a touchdown throw, as the Toro's defeated the Mammoths 38-7 in SMAA Bantam football action Monday night.

The Toro's fumbled on their first possession, but their defence came up with a big 4th down stop to send the offence back onto the field, where Campbell ran for 25 yards on a quarterback keeper for the games first score to lead 7-0 after the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Toro defence would again force a 4th down shutdown of the Mammoth offence, and the offence would again take the field. Campbell would set up a touchdown with a 15 yard run, followed by Myles Mclean rushing in from the one yard line to make it a 14-0 game.

Campbell would add his second rushing touchdown off the half with another QB keeper, but Josh Kitna would bust through the line and stop the extra point, making it a 20-0 game. The Mammoth offence did not get a first down in the half.

In the second half, Campbell would try and connect with Drew Bradshaw on a throw, and they would connect with a 35 yard touchdown pass, giving the Toro's a 26-0 lead in the third.

The Mammoths would begin to move down the field, as Michael Gadd would catch a pass for 35 yards. But the offence would stall 20 yards away from the endzone, and the Toro's would take back over. But on the following drive, Rory Pickle would pick up a fumble and rush it back down to the Toro 10 yard line. Jacob Hill would eventually bust it into the endzone, making it a 26-7 game.

But the Toro offence was running full stride, as Ricky Lapish would run up the middle for a 20 yard touchdown, while Campbell would scamper for another 40 yard touchdown run, giving the Toro's a 38-7 victory.

The Toro's will take on the Bears on Saturday, while the Mammoths will take on the Tiger Sharks following that game.
