- NITRO 41, MAN 26 - J.R. House completed 31 of 35 passes for 363
yards and five TDs to lift the Wildcats (5-1). He was not sacked and
threw only one interception.

Chris Martin caught a dozen passes for 160 yards and one score for
Nitro, while Chad Lovejoy added seven receptions for 109 yards and a
TD. Zack Collins caught a TD pass and had a scoring run, while Robbie
Sigmon landed a pair of House's TD tosses.

The Hillbillies (3-3), who trailed 21-20 at halftime, took their
opening possession of the third quarter and drove for a TD and a 26-21
lead. But House then found Martin with a 23-yard scoring pass and the
Wildcats were never headed.

Martin also intercepted a pass with about two minutes left to seal the
victory.
