Football: Haverford cruises on Mosley’s career night

MIDDLETOWN >> A star emerged for Haverford High Friday night, and he may just have restored the Fords’ Central League hopes in the process. Jordan Mosley caught nine passes for 213 yards and three scores as Haverford routed Penncrest 28-0.

“I don’t want to look too far into the future. We’re going to be where we want to be,” said Mosley, who enjoyed his first multi-touchdown game on varsity. “We could do some big things.”

Against the Lions, it was the junior wide-out who was doing big things. In the second quarter he caught a short slant, spun off his defender almost immediately and raced 48 yards to the end zone to put the Fords up 14-0.

“I just wanted to score,” said Mosley with a shrug. “I had the end zone in mind, you know.”

That appeared to be his mindset all night. He caught a 29-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Mosley would have had a 52-yard pick-six as well, had a teammate not taken an ill-advised block-in-the-back penalty. No matter, Mosely finished the drive with 21-yard score.

“I mean the quarterback got me the ball, and I did whatever,” said Mosley. “He had faith in me, and I delivered.”

And yet the mistakes that plagued Haverford’s 1-2 start to the season were still there. Even Mosley wasn’t immune. With a 7-0 lead, he bulled his way into the Penncrest secondary, looking to cross the goal line after a 22-yard gain. Instead, Mosley coughed up the ball, and the Lions recovered.
