HOULTON — The Aroostook Football Junior Huskies defeated Houlton 71-41 Saturday as running back Apollo Grondin of Caribou rushed for 400 yards and seven touchdowns and quarterback Greyson Sonntag of Mapleton notched 222 yards on the ground and scored three times.
Coach Jon Frederick also credited the offensive line for opening the holes for Grondin and Sonntag. The blocking group included center Isaiah Thayer and end Evan Mechalko, both of Caribou.
Grondin and Evan Michaud of Caribou also forced fumbles while Noah Rosado of Caribou had a fumble recovery. Jovanni Taveras of Washburn had an interception.
Rosado and Tristan Mancos of Caribou had standout days on the defensive side of the line, according to Frederick, while Michaud was solid on special teams with several big punt and kickoff returns.
