Photo Gallery: QND defense holds Flora to 121 yards of offense in playoff rout
QUINCY — The Quincy Notre Dame football team continued its defensive dominance on Saturday afternoon in a 49-6 victory over Flora in a first-round game in the IHSA Class 2A playoffs.
QND’s defense has surrendered 78 points in its last nine games. Taylin Scott spearheaded the effort with 19 tackles, 9 tackles for loss, and added a sack and forced fumble. Defensive back Jace Allensworth had a 38-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second half, defensive end Charsten Williams had a key sack for a turnover on downs in the first quarter, and defensive back Ty Meyer swatted away a pair of passes that would have resulted in big gains.
The Raiders held the Wolves to 121 yards of total offense on 53 plays from scrimmage, with 67 yards coming on a fourth-quarter running-clock touchdown run against QND’s second-string defense.
