Ohio Valley Greyhounds News Release


The Ohio Valley Greyhounds grabbed their first win of the 2006 season Saturday night in Peoria by edging the Rough Riders by a 60-53 count. In the win the quarterback wide receiver combination of Matt Kohn and James Taylor rewrote the team's offensive record book posting three new records.

Kohn crushed the previous passing yardage record for one game by throwing for 314 yards. The previous record was set last season by quarterback Antoine Taylor who threw for 270 yards versus Lexington on April 30, 2005.

The University of Indianapolis product also tied the team's record for touchdown passes in a game. Kohn tossed six on Saturday night equaling the mark set by Shane Franzer twice in the 2003 season.

James Taylor turned in his best performance of his young career setting a new team record for both receiving yards in a contest but also a new team mark for receptions in a game. Taylor totaled 201 yards through the air breaking a record set by teammate Willie Austin versus Lexington on April 30, 2005. Taylor's 14 catches broke his own mark set versus Evansville in the team's first home game of the 2006 season.
