LIBERTY When Liberty star running back Kenny Jaycox was sidelined with a season-ending knee injury last week, Indians coach John Wilhelm only had to look across the dinner table to find a suitable replacement. <\/p>\n
Wilhelm shifted stepson Ryan Henry from wide receiver to the backfield and the move proved to be a stroke of genius. Henry, who hadn't carried the ball all season, rushed for 200 yards on 19 carries and scored four touchdowns as the Indians stunned John S. Burke Catholic 53-19 in a Section 9 Class C contest Saturday afternoon. <\/p>\n
\"There was a lot of talk in the house about the game plan this week,\" Wilhelm said. \"We knew when Kenny wasn't going to be able to play that kids were going to have to step up and move around. We decided to move him (Henry) into the backfield and give him some carries. It just kind of took off and we kept giving him the ball today.\" <\/p>\n
Henry didn't object to the change when his coach\/stepfather asked him at practice this week, even though he said they don't always agree on things. <\/p>\n
\"I think he's harder on me than anybody else,\" Henry said with a laugh. \"But that's just my opinion. I'll do anything that needs to be done to help the team.\" <\/p>\n
It was hardly a one-man show for Liberty, however. Junior quarterback Quinn Jackson rushed for 247 yards on 23 carries and scored three TDs for the Indians (4-2, 1-1 Class C Division I). Jackson also threw a touchdown pass to Henry. The pair also hooked up on a two-point conversion. <\/p>\n
Henry scored his first touchdown on a 14-yard run and kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead with 2:47 left in the first quarter. <\/p>\n
Burke Catholic (2-4, 1-1 Class C Division I) cut the deficit to 7-6 on the last play of the first quarter when quarterback Robert Pezzullo found freshman wide receiver Chris Skermo with a 27-yard TD pass. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
