Onaway struggles to contain prolific Rogers City passing attack
Led by junior quarterback Bryan McKinstry, Rogers City's prolific passing attack was too much for the Onaway Cardinals on Thursday night.
The Rogers City Hurons defeated the Onaway Cardinals 46-18 in a Week 1 matchup between Presque Isle County rivals. Rogers City's junior quarterback, Bryan McKinstry, led a prolific passing attack that dominated the game from start to finish. The Hurons opened the scoring with a 59-yard touchdown pass from McKinstry to Nolan Lesko on the first play from scrimmage, leading 8-0.
McKinstry continued his strong performance, throwing seven touchdown passes and two more in the second half, including a 29-yard toss to Lesko in the fourth quarter. The Hurons' defense also played well, with senior fullback Zach Schmoldt and junior wide receiver Daryl Hawley making significant contributions. Onaway coach Micah Bailey acknowledged the team's struggles, attributing their poor start to communication issues and mistakes in blocking and execution.
The Cardinals mounted a late-game effort, with senior Kayson Jarvis and junior fullback Zach Schmoldt scoring key touchdowns. However, the Hurons' commanding lead and McKinstry's stellar performance secured a statement victory for the Rogers City team.
