WELLS — Michael Wrigley threw two touchdown passes and then the running combination of Tyler Bridge and Nolan Potter took over as top-seeded Wells beat No. 8 Oak Hill 47-6 in a Class D South football quarterfinal Friday night.

Wells (9-0) will host No. 4 Mountain Valley (5-4) in the semifinals. Wells beat Mountain Valley 54-0 in the final week of the regular season.

After Wrigley’s 27-yard touchdown pass to Bridge, Oak Hill (3-6) stopped Wells twice on fourth down, and the score was still 7-0 in the second quarter.

But Chad Fitzpatrick sparked a 28-point second quarter with a one-handed interception. On the next play, Wrigley connected with Peyton MacKay for a 47-yard score. Touchdown runs of 6 and 61 yards by Bridge (198 rushing yards) and a 68-yard run by Potter (123 yards) made it 35-0 at halftime.

“We hit a couple of passes to get us going, and then Tyler Bridge did his thing and Nolan Potter did his thing,” said Wells Coach Tim Roche.

Potter, who added a 5-yard TD in the third quarter, went over 1,000 rushing yards for the season.
