Wellington football blanks Westwood for first shutout since 2024
Wellington stayed unbeaten with a 26-0 road win over Westwood as Jay'lan Tyler rushed for 117 yards and the Wolverines posted a rare shutout.
The Wellington High football team secured a 26-0 shutout victory over Westwood Academy on September 3 at Calvin R. Triplett Field, marking their first such shutout since 2024. The game took place at Lawnwood Stadium and featured a defensive performance from Wellington, led by senior Jakeim Ellison who recorded two interceptions.
Despite Westwood's strong start, scoring a touchdown with a 29-yard run by sophomore Jay’lan Tyler, Wellington managed to outscore their opponents throughout the game, thanks to a solid defensive effort. Key contributors included sophomore running back Jay’lan Tyler, who opened the scoring, and junior Rhys Lewis, who scored a touchdown with a 52-yard interception return.
Westwood's offense, however, struggled, culminating in the Panthers' inability to get the ball moving on the ground, resulting in a significant one-sided victory for Wellington.
