PLAISTOW — Timberlane gave up its first points of the season ... but only after the Owls stormed to a 40-0 lead late in the first half.
The 3-0 Owls performed a rarity with seven different players scoring one touchdown: four on the ground, one through the air, one on a punt return and one on an interception.
The Owls got off to a fast start. Timberlane scored 20 unanswered points in the first quarter against Merrimack Valley. In their third game of the season, the Owls set off the fireworks early with a 67-yard punt return by Jaden Mwangi for a touchdown and an interception in the red zone to close out the first quarter.
“The guys up front they work hard, and we got good blocking on the perimeters,” said Mwangi.
As the Owls took control of the game early, Mwangi was able to contribute on offense and special teams.
No Owl ran for more than 77 years with Dominic Pallaria, Edward Digiulio and Dan Post all cracking 60 yards.
The defense impressed again Friday with Niko Langlois notching three tackles for loss with one sack and Bryce Parker racking up three sacks.
Coach Kevin Fitzgerald's club has already matched the win total from the 3-4 2020 campaign.
Timberlane is at Plymouth Saturday at 2 p.m.
