Hoosac Valley High School sophomore Tyler Mach helped his team to a 19-6 victory over Monument Mountain on Saturday as he eclipsed 100 yards rushing for the first time in his young Hurricane varsity football career. With four starters missing from the game, Mach stepped up in a big way taking the Hurricane's first play from scrimmage for a 64-yard touchdown run.

Mach totalled 112 yards on the ground and two touchdowns with his second score coming on a 5-yard run in the second quarter. The sophomore took advantage of every carry and finished the day averaging 9.3 yards per attempt. The Hurricanes will look for their young running back to build on Saturday's success as they travel to Williamstown this weekend to take on Mount Greylock.
