Mohegan Wolves News Release


Mohegan QB ROB HARDING scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run with 4:15 left in the game as the Wolves held off a tough Cincinnati team, 38-24, Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena. The Wolves victory, which upped their record to 8-3, was their fourth in a row - a season and franchise-high. The Swarm dropped to 4-8 on the season with the loss.

Wolves WR/DB CY BUTLER was the team’s top performer on the night, notching 142 all-purpose yards (115 return yards, 27 receiving yards) on offense and 3.5 tackles on defense. The second-year veteran from Rhode Island earned Ironman of the Game honors for his efforts. Another individual garnering notice for Mohegan was WR/LB KAZMELL MINOTT. Minott was named Game MVP for his stellar all-around performance, which included an 8-yard touchdown reception in addition to his team-high 4.5 tackles and one fumble recovery on defense. Other touchdown scorers for the Wolves included FB/LB LAJHON JONES (two touchdown runs) and WR/LB DENNIS BARBOSA (8-yard touchdown reception). Barbosa led Mohegan in receiving with six catches for 77 yards.

Cincinnati, which gave the Wolves a great fight for more than three quarters, was paced in defeat by the likes of DS ROB GREEN and WR/LB ANTHONY PAYTON. Green earned ADT Defensive Player of the Game honors after tallying 1.5 total tackles, one interception and a game-high five passes defended. On offense, Payton was equally impressive with five catches for 84 yards and two touchdowns.
