Williams Four Touchdowns Leads Hannibal Past Moberly

Aneyas Williams scored all four touchdowns and had 166 yards of total offense to lead Hannibal to a 28-8 victory over Moberly, at Dr. Larry K. Noel-Spartan Stadium Friday night. The Notre Dame-bound Williams helped the Pirates cash in their opening drive, with a seven-yard touchdown run. The Spartans defense kept Hannibal off the scoreboard the rest of the first quarter twice making a stand at their own one yard line…

Williams moved to wideout in the second half and caught touchdown passes of two and 14 yards from Waylon Anders in the third quarter to push the Pirates lead to 28-0. The Spartans got on the board with eight minutes left in the game…

Austin Ward with the call of the five-yard TD pass from Jackson Engel to Carter Baughman. On a bad snap, Engel scrambled and found Josiah Owen for a two-point conversion.

Spartans coach Cody McDowell wasn’t into just keeping the score close…..

McDowell liked the defensive stands, but lamented the missed chances….

Hannibal clinched at least a share of the NCMC title at 4-0 and improves to 6-1 overall. They can wrap-up the outright championship with a win over Marshall next week. It was Moberly’s first loss of the season to drop to 6-1 and 3-1 in the conference. The Spartans will be at Mexico next week.
